I See...Caricatures of People

I've always been fascinated with comedians.  It seems like a very hard profession (I guess it's a profession).  The ones in particular that tend to always peak my curiosity (and the ones I critique the most) are impressionists.  Some are better than others, but the elites just blow me away.  I've always felt like I'm an amateur impressionist and because I've made at least 3 people laugh (and only 2 were immediate family members!!!), I think I'm pretty good.

The elite ones can do anyone.  I think my 6-year old could do John Wayne or Jack Nicholson but it takes a real artist to do Robin Williams or David Paterson (the blind New York Governor...try that impression at the next party you're at and watch your friends give a genuine sympathy laugh).  The key with the biggies is that they implement more than the voice.  As a famous Sea Witch once said, you can never underestimate the importance of body language (my kids can't watch that movie because the teenage heroine disobeys her father but that's fodder for another blog post).

My problem is, I do obscure people.  I'm not talking about B or C actors like Robert Pattinson (you heard me) or Zsa Zsa Gabor.  I do law professors and my grandmother.  One of my best impressions is of a foreign student, who I believe to be a pothead.  Maybe that one crosses some ethical line but it creates a good break from studying Criminal Procedure.  The real problem is context.  My audience is narrowed by my, (a) subject matter and (b) audience members who get the reference.  Bye-bye Radio City Music Hall.  

Oh, well I guess I will have to give up this dream and stick to making my wife snicker in public while telling me to stop when I mock the one-armed auctioneer scratching his head with his nub, while asking in his East-Tennessee mountain drawl, "Whatsamatter withit?" because nobody is bidding.

After that self-deprecating/self-awesomeness drivel, let's get to some Flea-Market Flippers

When last we left you, we had a baseball card, payphone lock and Sega video game cartridge vying for the top spot.  The results are thus:

Northern Electric Payphone Lock - paid less than $1.  Sold for $26.00.

Sega Genesis Contra Game - paid $5.  Sold for $32.26.

2012 BP Wil Myers Red Ref. - paid $3 (for the pack).  Sold for $44.00.

All the proceeds go to Feed the Children (mine).

Here are this weeks superstar items:

1963 John Glenn Orbit Thermos ($10 at the flea market)

Scary Game that is frustrating to control ($3 at a variety shop)

Wooden Color Wheel (Made in China, Folks! and only $1.75 at Walmart Clearance)

Ideas

I always like to have something witty, thought provoking or just entertaining (to me, anyway) to write about.  

Today is not that day.

I had a few ideas but they seemed rather blase.  Then I started thinking, 'do people even  read the editorial part or do they just skip on down to the FMF?'  With such limited time in folks' lives, should I scrap the side dish and just serve up the meat?

I always hoped the top part, what with my wit and charm, would win people over and they would say, "Boy that Piggy fellar sure does spin a good anecdote."  I could hear the guffaws in my mind from the low-brow crowd, could see the winks of those who got the high-end absurdity.  Repost after repost on social networks and micro blogs would expose my sarcasm to the masses.  I would be the next Garrison Keillor, Lewis Grizzard or Larry the Cable Guy!

But alas, I couldn't think of any ideas to put me over the top.  I guess we'll just have to give the uber-capitalist what they want.  So pause that episode of Pawn Stars or Storage Wars on Netflix and lets get on with Flea Market Flippers.  Yipp...ee.

While ya'll are enjoying it, I'll just sit over hear, basking in my awesomeness bubble made for one.

For any newbies, the rules are thus:

1.  I show a picture of something I've picked up at a yard sale or flea market, what I paid for it and any neat story associated with the item.

2.  The item goes on eBay.

3.  You speculate what it might bring, boom or bust (basic free-market economics).

4.  The winning speculator gets to gloat to their friends.

Western Electric 3-slot Payphone Lock (Box Lot of Padlocks $15 soooo around .75 cents)

When I saw this box of about 20 old padlocks, I didn't give these (there were 4) a second glance.  We'll see how this one does.

2012 Bowman Platinum Wil Myers Red Refractor #11/25 (Minty Fresh out of $3 pack)

I love finding shiny things in packs of cards.  Especially hot prospects with low-serial numbers.

 Sega Genesis Contra: Hard Corps Game ($5 at a variety store)

I could be wrong but this could be one of the first Mature Audience labeled games.

Leaving Money on the Table

This junk hunting is not an exact science. It pays to know your stuff, but you can't know it all. You hear different kinds of advice such as, "find a niche" or "stick to what you know".

That's hard for me. Sure, I have an in depth knowledge of sports cards, video games and certain toys and their respective values. But I hate knowing when I walk into a junk shop or look at a table full of whatnots at the flea market, there is something of value right in front of me...and I have no idea.

I came across such a mystery item yesterday. Carrie and I were on our way to a thrift store to buy a lot of action figures. We saw an antique shop we had never ventured into before and decided to stop. Low and behold, something caught my eye. $25 was all it would take to purchase something I had never seen before.

NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!

Why didn't I listen to the alarm bells going off in my head?! Was I too tired to notice the wow factor?! Why am I such a cheapskate?! Is the moon really made of cheese?! Will I ever win a Nobel Peace Prize if I get the producers of The View to add Judge Judy as a referee?! (I do believe that would bring harmony to the Galaxy).

Anyway, I hope that my mystery item sits collecting dust until the store reopens. If not, I will be wiser...as well as more jaded by my accursed addiction.

On to the FMF madness! (hopefully more appealing to the eye than last week)

Leather Gun Belt w/Holster - Paid $5, sold for $10.50

Hasbro G.I. Joe MOBAT Tank - Paid $2, sold for $11.61

5 Lot 70s Pepsi DC Superhero glasses - Paid $6.67, sold for $83.58

Here are this weeks humble offering to the eBay gods:

Jurassic Park Re-Ak Attack Dilophosaurus Dino - paid $1.

Vintage Knickerbocker Bean Bag Animals Frog??? (I really have no clue what this is) - paid .50 cents.

Vintage Bakelite Sawyers View-Master - paid $5.

The Call of the Wild

It's time to get something off my chest.

I want to be good. I really do. The natural man gets to me though. I'm like a comedian looking for someone, anyone, to laugh at my joke. I try to get away from my past, from the things that beset me...try to move forward...be a better person.

I often find myself driving down certain roads, looking for my next fix. I know I should turn back but the pull is too great. I've already been to the bank and withdrawn $100 cash in small bills. I keep rolling, when I should probably be getting home. All the signs are there that I'm heading down the right road for the reason that will take my money. About the time I start to come to my senses, I notice what I've been looking for.

I pull up and and nod to the nameless gatekeeper of my satisfaction. I look around nervously. Part of me hoping I haven't missed out but the other part hoping I have. That's when I realize they have what I need and I'll be going down the rabbit hole after all.

Toys cleaned out of Junior's closet. Baseball cards from Billy's shoebox. An old Nintendo in a box with ten games.

"Oh please let there be a Darth Vader Lego figure at the bottom of this quarter box."

"Maybe a 1977 Dale Murphy rookie is in here with these mid-80s Topps cards."

"Oh my gosh! Zombies Ate My Neighbors for Super Nintendo!"

I tried to be good. I tried to focus on my studies in law school. But the pull to hunt yard sales, flea markets and junk shops is in my blood.

I've fallen off the wagon.

That means it's time for more Flea Market Flippers. For those of you who forgot the rules, well, there are none. I just show you my hand, how much I paid and, if you want, guess which item[s] will sell for the most on ebay (generally within a week). Here are some of my finds this week.

Leather gun belt with holster. Paid $5 from a weird guy selling out of a storage unit:

Hasbro G.I. Joe MOBAT Tank 1982 (missing battery cover). Paid $2 from flea market vendor:

5 lot Pepsi DC Super Heroes 1976 glasses. Paid $40 for a lot of 30 character glasses, so that would make this lot about $6.67 ($1.33333333 a piece). This was from the same guy at the storage unit. I answered an ad from craigslist for some Warner Bros. and Underdog/Rocky the Flying Squirrel glasses from the 70s and the guy wanted me to meet him at the storage unit to look at them. The super hero glasses were with them (unadvertised) and we took them all. I admit, I was a little worried to meet up with a strange guy on a Saturday afternoon at a storage locker in the middle of nowhere. I told my wife that's where the police should look for my body after the 3 days I was considered R.U.N.N.O.F.T was up:

Final FMF (for now)

For all of you waiting for the season ending grand finale of FMF, here it is, in all it's edge of your seat, cliff-hangerism. I'll probably be hanging it up for a while as I'm starting law school next week. so both of you who stumbled upon this weird blog I say thanks and come back soon (even though we will be closed for the winter).

Vintage Green Tiger Bank made in Japan - paid $1.00. Sold for nada (That's 0 dollars American).

1983 Universal Pictures Rocky III Thunderlips figure (eat your vitamins and say your prayers, it's actually Hulk Hogan) - paid $1.00. Sold for $0. A guy did contact me and wants to buy it for $8.

1999 Hasbro Pokemon Jumbo Pikachu Plush - paid $1.00. Sold for (see: next sentence). I worried about this one because it had 6 watchers and no bids with 12 hours left, so I pulled the auction. After I ended it early, a guy messaged me wondering if I was going to relist it. I told him maybe and he said he lived just down the road from me and wondered if we could meet and him buy it for $20. I agreed.

Now just imagine you're driving down the road and you see a beat up Nissan Altima and a trashed Saturn parked all alone in an empty lot (ok, "parked all alone in an empty lot" is redundant but I'm trying to paint a vivid picture here). Two grown men are there exchanging Jacksons (ok, 1 Jackson) for a jumbo stuffed toy. I would think something from a Far Side cartoon was going down. I digress. Back to our regularly scheduled FMF.

1992 Applause Stego Plush - paid $1.00. Sold for .99 cents. Very disappointed but some grandma from MN was very happy.

Talisman: The Magical Quest Board Game - paid $5.00 divided by a suitcase full of junk. Sold for $26.00

1968-71 Frito Lay Premiums 'W.C. Fields' and 'Frito Bandito' pencil toppers - paid about a nickel apiece. Sold for a total of $76.64 (cue Hallelujah Chorus). Remember these are PENCIL ERASERS!!!! No bigger than a quarter. The Blue Frito Bandito sold by itself for $46.00! This is the stuff that makes flippin' so much fun.

Thanks for looking!

PMF on FMF

Flea Market Flippers Results & FMF-O-Rama!!!

With law school right around the corner, I've been really busy so I'm taking a lazy route with my writings this week. But my laziness is your gain! After this weeks results, we'll have a FMF-O-RAMA!

Here are last weeks results:

Jurassic Park Baby T-Rex (it's actually a Velociraptor) - Paid $.50 cents. Sold for $5.75

1964 Ashland Products Elephant Squeaker Toy - Paid $3.00. Did not Sell (Carrie wanted it)

1971 Mattel Talk up Doll - Paid $1.00. Sold for $36.00

And this weeks junk. If there was ever a week to post what you think the results will be, this would be it. Some neat stuff:

Vintage Green Tiger Bank made in Japan (paid .50)

(I love this next one)

1983 Universal Pictures Rocky III 'Thunderlips' action figure (aka Hulk Hogan) (paid $1.00)

1999 Hasbro Pokemon Jumbo Pikachu plush (paid $1.00)

1992 Applause Stegosaurus plush (paid $1.00)

Talisman: The Magical Quest Game board Game (In a suitcase full of stuff I paid $5.00 for)

(And one of my favorite things I've ever found)

1968-71 Frito-Lay Premiums 'W.C. Fields' and 'Frito Bandito' pencil toppers (in a box of stuff I paid $1.00 for)

Bad Parenting Skills + This week's FMF

Emma, our 14 year-old, asked if she could have a cupcake. My response:

"Go ask mom; I don't want to be the bad parent."

Bella (13 year-old) chimes in, "Dad, that is being a bad parent."

Yep, I have terrible parenting skills. My biggest terrible parenting skill is lying to my children.

"Dad, where were you?"

"I saw a bear riding a motorcycle and decided to wrestle him."

"Dad, where are you going?"

"The whoopin' store. Do you want one?"

"Dad, where is Ghana?"

"It's a place where bats go to the bathroom."

I won't post some of the more awful things I've said. While most dad's are teaching their kids to be smart, I'm afraid I'm teaching my kids to be smart-alecs. This isn't something I started out doing. In the beginning of my parenting years, I only wanted to confuse my children. You know, teach them that chairs are tables and vice-versa. I wanted them to be scared to eat at McDonald's because of the groundclown they serve (OK, that one should go in the 'lie' category). I figured if I hugged trees and talked about wealth redistribution, they would rebel in their teen years and become Republicans.

So to my children, I say I'm sorry. Hugging Bella while passing gas is not cool. I should have never told Abey he sold on eBay and that he would be shipped with delivery confirmation. I'm sorry Forrest for telling you that the Colorado Rockies hide their steroids under 1st base. Nathan, you didn't really come from the circus (that one may actually be true). Guys, I didn't really escape from a Japanese enemy combatant detention center.

I feel better now. And to reward you kids; tomorrow DISNEY WORLD!!!! You know, that place that sells toys, clothes, groceries and you can get the oil changed in your car.

On to FMF (Flea Market Flippers)

This was a strange week as far as the hunt was concerned. Here are last week's results:

Vintage G.I. Joe H.I.S.S. driver. Paid .10 cents. Sold for .99 cents.

1959 Whitman "Little Black Sambo" children's book. Paid $2.00. Sold for $16.50

14 Wrestling vhs videos. Paid $2.00. Sold for $32.73

This week's offerings:

Jurassic Park Baby T-Rex:

1964 Ashland Products Elephant Squeaker toy:

1971 Mattel Talk Up doll:

Movie Snob (Not walking like an Egyptian) + FMF!

My family thinks I am too picky with my movies. That may need a little explaining. I don't watch R rated or higher. That's an automatic. The nose turning I'm talking about relates to the retread garbage that Hollywood continuously pumps out.

My snobbery probably started with the movie Stargate. I remember walking away thinking that someone mailed that one in. This disappointment was followed several years later with The Mummy, then pretty much every summer blockbuster after that. I've seen a few of the blockbuster movies this year and so far I'm not impressed.

Super 8 - eh. All I could think about was the 'Bad Robot' logo at the beginning and wanting to come home and watch Abram's 'Star Trek' on Netflix (I did. See below for scale worthiness).

Cars 2 - Saturday morning cartoon.

X-Men: First Class - I fell asleep during the climax.

Thor - I have a rule. If I think about the movie the next day, I like it. I didn't remember I'd seen that movie until now.

I've become so picky, my 0-10 scale will only allow movies I like. In other words, I have to actually like the movie for it to have a chance for at least a 1. In the past 5 years only 2 movies have cracked a 7 or higher. Bourne Ultimatum (a guilty pleasure 8) and Dark Knight (a gut wrenching 9). Inception, Taken and Star Trek all made the scale but no higher than 6. Pixar is so good, I gave it it's own scale where they are ranked in order (Cars 2 at the bottom; Incredibles and Ratatouille at the top). Do I have any 10s??? There are 2 - Raiders of the Lost Ark and Master and Commander.

I'm starting to see why my family thinks I'm crazy. Looking back, maybe I had a mummy's curse put on me for dissing movies with pyramids...

Save me Harry Potter 7 part 2, save me!

FMF for the week-

Last weeks offerings were just sad:

Vintage My Little Pony Sleeping Bag - Paid .50 cents. Sold for $10.50 (not bad).

Disney Store Finding Nemo Squirt Plush - Paid .25 cents. DID NOT SELL (crud)

Holliser Cutoff Jeans Shorts - Paid $1.00. Sold for .99 cents (loser)

Hopefully this weeks offerings are better:

Vintage G.I. Joe H.I.S.S. Driver (paid .10 cents)

1959 Whitman "Little Black Sambo" children's book (paid $2.00)

Lot of 14 VHS wrasslin' videos (paid $2.00)

Independence Day Decapitation (& FMF results)

When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes buy fireworks for the 4th of July, though never the big grand ones. One year my parents invited an elderly couple from church over to eat and watch the meager selection of explosives light up the sky (lighted matches thrown in the air were most times more exciting). The one we were most excited for this particular year was the Saturn Missiles, a box of about one dozen tiny firecrackers shooting out of their respective tubes to blow up in rapid succession. With all of us seated behind him, dad lit the fuse. As soon as it was lit the box fell off. Whether it was knocked off or not is unclear but what I do know is that it was pointed right at the elderly couple (and us kids, but that's not as dramatic). In his panic, dad turned to run as the rockets took off. Losing his bearings, he ran right into the neck high clothesline and was, well, clotheslined, completely flipping him on his back. All the while, the Saturn Missiles were flying wildly while everyone hit the deck themselves for cover. If you've seen the Pixar movie, A Bug's Life, this was reminiscent of the circus scene where P.T. Flea (voiced by John Ratzenberger) does "Flaming Death". Pure chaos.

Now, on to Flea Market Flippers!

Last week we had a Rainbow Brite card game, Super Mario DS and Sega Star Control. The Results:

Rainbow Brite Giant Card Game. Paid .10 cents. Sold for $1.84.

Nintendo DS New Super Mario Bros. w/case. Paid $8.00. Sold for $16.50.

Sega Star Control Game complete. Paid $3.00. Sold for $2.47.

As you can see, Mario wins, hands down. Disappointed in in the Sega Game, but it wasn't much of a gamble. This week's FMFs are:

Vintage My Little Pony Sleeping Bag (paid .50 cents):

Disney Store Finding Nemo Squirt Plush (paid .25 cents):

Hollister Cutoff jeans shorts size 0 (paid $1.00):

(Don't know what's going on with the diff. size pics. Oh, well)

Didn't find any video games this week so kind of a bummer. You can check the eBay auctions under my handle, bbohnsfactory.

Results! and New FMF

The results are in from last weeks Flea Market Finds:

Fisher Price Amazing Animals Choo-Choo? Paid $1. Sold for .99 (Booo)

Sega Genesis Splatterhouse II? Paid .18. Sold for $25.89 (Yay)

GBA Pokemon Chaos Black? Paid $8.00. Sold for $30.00. (Yay) Issued refund (Booo)

The Pokemon game sold but eBay cancelled the auction (don't know how they can cancel it after it's over and paid for but they did). The buyer freaked out and demanded a refund, which I obliged. The problem was, eBay has no product specs for this game and I guess that means they feel the game is bootlegged. Either that or a grumpy seller is telling eBay they are bootlegged so they can maximize there own auctions. Whichever it is, I still have the game and need to figure out how to sell it now.

On a happier note, another game from the Sega lot I bought for $10 did well. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist sold for $13.50. I sold 9 games out of the 35+ in the lot for a total of $58.63.

With that said, here are this weeks Flea Market Finds:

Rainbow Brite Giant Card Game, circa 1983 (paid .10)

New Super Mario Bros. for DS (paid $8.00)

Sega Star Control Game Complete (paid $3.00)

Let me know which one will bring the most $$$ ('cuz that's what we are about here at the Piggy Capitalist).

Flea Market Flippers

I forgot I had this here blog. Man, I was kinda intense originally. Oh, well, let's see if we can bury those first two with something different.

(Cue Monty Python)

"And now, for something completely different"

As the name of this blog is 'Piggy Capitalist', it seems fitting to share my flea market and yard sale finds and maybe post any scores or duds. Many of the items I find will make their way to eBay under the handle, bbohnsfactory.

Here is some of what I hauled home this week:

Fisher Price Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo Choo Train $1

Game Boy Advance Pokemon Chaos Black Cartridge $8

Sega Genesis Splatterhouse II with manual and case $0. 26

The Splatterhouse II game was in a box of 38 games and 2 Sega Genesis consoles I got for $10. I figured I would get $15-20 apiece for the consoles and there are about 8 other games that have value in the box.

These 3 are all on eBay now. Which one do you think will net me the most profit?

Nannie

I was thinking about my grandmother today. We called her Nannie. This isn't some sentimental journey down memory lane with tears welling up or a quivering jaw. It's more like a furrowed brow and a set jaw. I missed her today because we need her.
Nannie was the ultimate politician, using her wit and personality to charm those around her. "I love your grandmother," folks would say, "she is so caring and nice." I would nervously nod with forced smile. You see the real Nannie, the family Nannie, was cunning, tough and cutthroat.
One time, my younger brothers, Nick and Jared, were spending the day with Nannie. Jared, younger than Nick, came in from outside, crying.
"What's wrong?" Nannie asked.
"Nick hit me with a stick." Jared replied through his 'I'm gonna get someone in trouble' tears.
Nannie got up from in front of the TV (I think one of her 'stories' was on) and walked out on the porch, Jared right behind her. Nick was standing still in the yard, knowing his world was over. Nannie starts looking around the back porch for something, still not saying anything. Finally she picks up a 2x4 about 3 feet long and hands it to Jared. Jared just looks at it then back at Nannie questioningly. Exasperated, Nannie says, "Well...go hit him with it!"
Another time she randomly calls up my cousin Rick, who lives on the opposite end of the state.
"Hey, Nannie, how are you."
"Oh fine, but I have a question for you Rick. Would you do something for me?"
"Sure Nannie, what is it."
"Would you be a pall bearer at my funeral."
"Oh, Nannie, I would be honored to do that."
"Well it's good to know that you'll come see me when I'm dead, 'cause you sure as he(double hockey sticks) don't come while I'm alive."
Click (no really, she hung up on him).

So I'm thinking today, instead of crying, let's hit these Democrats back (of course I mean at the ballot box. "Oh, no another extreme right wing Christian militia racist blog is talking about 'hitting'. They're sooooo mean spirited and threatening!" I think I said 'cutthroat' earlier too). Let's give them an earful of our dissatisfaction with their current disrespect for us and what we need as citizens. Not what they tell us we need but our actual needs.
I think those needs are pretty basic, completely spelled out in the Constitution. Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Property. Then defend our borders, get out of the way and watch us soar.
Of coarse according to people like Paul Krugman, at the NY Times, if Nannie were here she wouldn't be for long. Gotta get rid them old people because that's were we cut (watch out, I said cut) down that deficit, thanks to the Deathcare bill.

Lib quote of the day:
"Can you imagine if some of these reporters were working on a farm and you planted some seeds, and they came out the next day and they looked and — 'Nothing's happened. There's no crop. We're going to starve. Oh, no! It's a disaster!' It's been a week, folks. So, before we find out if people like health care reform, we should wait to see what happens when we actually put it into place. Just a thought."
-Barack Obama, back on the "hey, you guys need to get used to this dog food" tour.
YOU MEAN THIS 2700 PAGE LAW IS LIKE A SEED AND WILL GET BIGGER!!!!
By the way, the Homestead Act of 1862 (you know, the one that opened up a majority of this country to settlement and eventually statehood...pretty big deal) was a whopping 2 pages.

Poor Boy

Yep, that's right. I'm a poor boy. I make $10.00 an hour, I have 9 mouths to feed, and yet I am still a capitalist pig. Now many capitalist out there might be groaning, "Oh, please don't accentuate the 'pig' part." I kind of find it endearing. I mean, it worked for Piggly Wiggly, right?
Look, anytime a liberal windbag tries to tag any desenter of their statist policies, agendas, or their just pure hatred, they need to be laughed at. The best policy, I have found is to take the tag and pin it to your chest, sarcastically. Call me a capatilist pig, I'll smile and say 'thank you, Ronald Reagan is my role model'. It really just throws their last shred of decent human behavior out the window, and they are reduced to a screaming, bratty 7 year old with the vocabulary of a drunken sailor.
Seriously, several years ago while still in school, this lib girl (I figured she was liberal just from the shaved head and the biohazard tattoo on the back of her neck) starts ripping into 'trickle down economics' (oh, and she was bashing 'trickle down economics', so kind of a dead giveaway to lib status). She said, "Why would anyone believe in that?" I said, "Probably because it works." She turned around and said, "Shut up you *bleeping* republican." I just laughed and everybody laughed with me. She just fumed while the professor looked anxious.
Now you might be saying where is this going. This is about letting them know we are not going to cow tow anymore. Their usurption (ok, I kinda made that one up, but it sounds cool there) of our power as individuals, their pompous elitism, their hatred of liberty; it all has to stop. This country is the last bastion of freedom. The light is still there but they're trying to snuff it out. Who the heck wants to be like Europe? When was the last time any American immigrated anywhere? I've never read where 30 Americans washed up on Cuba's shore in a bathtub because it's so awesome there.
As you can see I'm a little ADD. Too many thoughts and too many slow fingers. Anywho, I'll try to post a great lib quote everyday for your enjoyment. Today's is more headshaking than funny (sorry, Joe "bleeping" Biden seems to be hiding today). I also hope this doesn't get so serious as it did today. I believe laughing them into knee jerk, screaming hatemongers will prove their irrelevance. I mean, their illogical nature is kinda funny.

Lib quote of the day:
"From the moment I was sworn into office, I've spoken about the urgent need for us to lay a new foundation for our economy and for our future,"
- Barack Obama 3/30/2010 after signing deathcare addons
Oh, you've done it buddy. The foundations laid. I just hate that everytime I take a step on the new foundation, my shoe smells like crap.
