Whoever designed skin really did a piss-poor job of it. People also don't really have skin in the game about actually holding their advertised yardsales. When ads cost real money, you just didn't decide To hell with it, I'm going to sleep late this morning, you got your ass out of bed and set up those tables! You also made damn sure that your address was printed correctly. Now that Craigslist is the medium, anything goes :-( A woman (I assume) has been selling a size 18 Obermeyer one-piece ski suit every weekend for MONTHS with no takers. " Lady's outdoors insulated, repellent outfit "Obermeyer"size 18 (ARCADIA)" No address, just a dot on the map. She clearly means (and says so in the actual ad) "water-repellent", but I think the title says it all. I don't think I want to understand her thought processes... -- Cheers, Bev When cryptography is outlawed, only outlaws will qwertzuio asdfghjk pyxcvbnml -- M. O'Dorney |

They don't sell them, they're included free with many purchases. -- Cheers, Bev "Life is actually fair. It just doesn't seem to be common knowledge that 'fair' sometimes sucks." -- Jim Cook |

I walked thru the flea market in between the Metro station and the 99 cents store on my way to MacArthur Park last night and someone actually had bottles of liquor laid out in between the shampoo, bootleg DVDs and phone chargers. The cops are under orders not to disturb the tax avoiding illegal aliens selling items acquired from professional shoplifting rings. Because it's racist. |

My mother's comment at the time was "we should have gone to that instead" and we had left the theatre and passed another where she pointed to "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was playing, of it being 1968, it was a re-release. I guess she'd seen it before. I never sawit until it was on tv in the seventies. It does make more sense, but I read the book decades ago. I didn't even know it was playing. "2001" got lots of press ahead of time, and I was locked on seeing it as soon as it arrived. Must have been the first film I actually decided to see. Michael |
