Today I bring you a profoundly expensive item for the Runner-Up: 19th Century Tortoiseshell Tea Caddy - $6000 (Normal Heights) At first, I was a little skeptical. Six (6) grand for an ickle-bitty tea cozy box without a key? Sure, it's made out of (probably) endangered animals, ...

Dunno why, but this seems legit: Single mom needs food today! (normal Heights) Probably because she doesn't overdo it with the laundry list of iniquities suffered at the hands of a cruel world. I tend to disapprove of the overzealous beggar, supporting instead what I believe to ...

What do we think of this? Easy Vape Digital Vaporizer - $60 (San Diego) It's like, "you know what could be a lot more complicated? Smoking weed! Let's make that harder than it already is." Either that, or stoners need an excuse to make their smoking habits ...

By FullFlavorPike - November 30, 2009, 2:36 p.m.
The world must be alerted to the presence of this tremendously sweet guitar: 1998 Gibson Blueshawk - $900 (Normal Heights) They didn't make a lot of them, and they didn't make them for long, but damn those 'Hawk guitars sounded good, sportin' the P90s and whatnot. Worth ...

There is much in the way of unintentional hilarity in today's Runner-Up: Bulova watch, snakes, remote car - $1 (Mira Mesa) Such a weird trilogy of items for sale! Lions, tigers, and bears; or, alternatively; sex, drugs, and rock and roll; or even planes, trains, and automobiles ...

First blog post from the new homestead. Bring on the super significance, eh? As epic as the new apartment is, I am still not 100% back in business. Having completely uprooted makes life all..turmoil-ish and it's proving rather difficult to settle into any sort of routine at this early juncture. ...

By FullFlavorPike - November 16, 2009, 11:18 p.m.
Well, the ad in question today is so good, so awe-inspiring, such a commanding virtual presence, such a work of art, that it necessitates, if not outright demands the full attention of the entire blog post.
