Book Man
Category: stuff

(e:terry) and I went to an estate sale on Irving today. They had a lot
of amazing stuff but everything was in the $300-$3000 range and I'm
not in a place for that right now.

An interesting aspect of the sale was this bookshelf full of books
that all had "man" in the title. It would be so weird to have people
going through all your stuff.

He was a man of mystery.

janelle - 10/23/09 21:14
wow, I'm an idiot. I just noticed you had already made the same observation about the book titles.

janelle - 10/23/09 17:47
I think it's weird that all the titles have "man" or "men" in them.

I thought maybe he had them organized by topic, but "man" is a pretty broad topic, lol.

New Fuji buffet
Category: food

I'd give it a 2 out of 10. It was far away and not very tasty. I
prefer zhangs and I don't like that either. The torn paper in the
window looks like "food animals" tried to claw their way out before
getting terryakied.

tinypliny - 10/24/09 00:31
HAHAHAH @ the food animals comment. But you did kind of let me down because I was expecting some decaying road kill under the tables too (since you gave it a 2/10).

Niagara Falls America at Night
Category: niagara

Wow not having a passport sucks. The view from America is basically
getting blinded by the lights from Canada where all the magic is.

The first shot looks as if Hailey's comet landed and exploded in the falls.

metalpeter - 10/21/09 19:32
Nice Shots. Well plus not only the view but there are other things to view if you know where to go on the Candain side, HA. I wish I had a passport but I also wish I was brave enough to go on the giant Faris whele type thing I bet you could get some really interesting views and pictures from up there.

The shopping cart
Category: linwood

There is this pricerite shopping cart on my corner. The things that's
so crazy about it is that there a distance lock on it. So someone got
it pretty damn far with the wheels not turning before giving up on
it. I wonder why they don't include a phone number for reporting it
on the cart itself.

jbeatty - 10/24/09 10:12
you can report it here :::link:::

deeglam - 10/21/09 13:59
haha! Thanks kind of funny... I wonder how it got that far without locking, and then randomly locked. Strange!

libertad - 10/21/09 13:31
When they first opened Mike and I saw some guy try to take on from the lot and it was hysterical watching him. He had no idea what was going on.

tinypliny - 10/20/09 20:07
Wow. THAT is far. Did you end up reporting it?

The cuttlefish I always wanted
Category: web

If anyone can ever make this for me, I will love them forever. It an extra special challenge because the pattern is sold out

The etsy site seems pretty awesome. I never saw it before but it seems like a great way to sell handmade items if you make any of those.

The pattern author has a blog

and they also have a tutorial on making 3d crochet shapes

tinypliny - 10/19/09 21:03
I just laughed till I started to cough. That regretsy bloke is a sarcastic nasty evil GENIUS!

jenks - 10/19/09 16:54
omg regretsy is awesome.

hodown - 10/19/09 15:28
Whats even better is regretsy:

Now you have 50,000 comments.

tinypliny - 10/18/09 22:24
I think you sometimes want the weirdest things. Didn't you want some boobs made of plastic made by some Japanese toy/novelty company a couple years back?

And darn it. One of my aunts tried to instill a love for crocheting in me when I was in middle school - but I ended up hating not only that but knitting as a bonus kind of hate.
