  • Weld Paddy's Mental Web

    So, anybody want to open up an Elvis themed restaurant with these: Boothes & Tables - as pictured. Call Mario or Elain at (619) 282-9750 Could be fuuuuuunnn... Not Runer-Up AwardWorthy though. No surprise, that honor goes out to a man we know all too well. Here's "frogtoes" with: Wrought ... 29 comments

  • Particularly Rambunctious

    The last line of this ad is actually pretty funny: ZHU ZHU PETS PIPSQUEAK! New in Box - $35 (San Diego) "Oh, hi, little Susie? Your mother bought you a Christmas present, but she doesn't want to give it to you anymore. Would you take $30?" Once again, Perennial Powerhouse ... 15 comments

  • Requiem for the Vampire

    Had a fascinating job interview the other day out in the material world. The in-person part was quick and painless, took about ten minutes of my day. More fun was the "assignment" portion of the 'view. Basically, the nightclub in question is looking to raise the level of their bar ... 11 comments

  • Succinctly And Not Entirely Unfairly

    So, uh, say this 3X fast, eh? Stokke Tripp Trapp KinderZeat High Chair Black - $180 (Escondido) Am I alone in thinking that is a ludicrous price for a high chair, which ought to be covered with stewed prunes and half chewed cheerios in no time, or what? I have ... 12 comments

  • Things Are Going To Get Ugly

    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, which definitely gives ... 8 comments

  • Smiling, Unaware

    This thing has been for sale forever and the price doesn't really get lowered or anything: Hannah Montana Stage with doll and box - $25 (San Diego) Runner-Up for tryin' hard! Never say die! I'm going to run with the "College Edition" theme from yesterday's intro (shame shame if'n you ... 11 comments

Recreate the best years of your life anytime you want! ... 30 comments

  • But Now, The Truth Is Out!

    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 be a more ... 6 comments

  • HTML Test

    Wondering if I can embed an object in the blog post. Best to find out when nothing's on the line. Wondering where Daniels has been lately--this one's for you, SD! 3 comments

  • Impetus

    These ought to come in real useful during the coming San Diego snowstorms! ALPINE PREMIER Tire Chains - $12 (Spring Valley) You know, help you survive the crushing, So-Cal winter! In other news, Sober No Tweeker Carpet Cleaning has risen to the occasion once again in terms of insane advertisements: ... 1 comment

  • Something Like Flowers

    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 even more complex ... 13 comments

  • A Relentless Tide of Nausea

    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 every penny, I ... 7 comments

  • Seducing the Breakers and Sweet-Talking the Swell

    Doing my usual craigslist spelunk on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I cam across a prime Runner-Up for today's post: ROLEX WATCH 1500 Oyster Perpetual Date - $1600 (Normal Heigths) Hmmmmmmm...... Not at all suspicious, not even the teensy-tiniest, ickle-bitiest bit of suspicion to be found there. Yup, if ever ... 7 comments

  • Everything and Anything

    Going out on a limb and saying that the following thingy is definitely among the Top 5 Most Useless Things on Craigslist: "Just the Right Shoe" Afternoon Tea - $10 (Normal Heights) Seriously, who needs a four-inch-long ceramic shoe? What are the potential uses for such an ersatz antique? I ... 8 comments

  • Fun, Fun Game

    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 has nothing on ... 12 comments

  • The Slightly Hodge-Podge Composition

    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. ... 17 comments

  • The Swift Justice Of Cosmetology

    Irrelevant Personal Update: Moving out of the Lightless Torture Dungeon this weekend. Just down the block and around the corner, but still, I'll be in a house, with floors made of wood and windows that permit light into the home. In light of this, please be understanding of periodically interrupted ... 67 comments

  • A Vital Part Of The Breakfast Pantheon

    I just can't decide whither goest the Runner-Up award today. I mean, check the contenders out: Funny T-Shirt for the Ladies - $5 (Normal Heights) and *BRAND NEW" *I Love Edward Cullen Hoodie* - $35 (Normal Heights) Which of these gems has more unintentional hilarity attached? I simply can't decide. ... 18 comments

  • It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade

    News, the First: fell off of bike today while doing twenty-mile ride and smashed up elbow. Pain intense, but isolated. News, the Second: wrote partial blog entry Tuesday afternoon, left said blog entry in browser without saving, returned home from bicycle ride to find browser closed by unwitting roommate and ... 239 comments

  • The Periodic Chumming of the Waters of Commerce

    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. Unprecedented? Absolutely. Out of the question? Hardly. Pure awesome? Definitely! And so, without further ... 7 comments
