Butchering Kit

Now, I'm not asking what kind of "meat" you have that needs butchering. That's between you and the police, depending on evidence collected. This set even came with a book! The picture is missing the small hacksaw that came with the set. It even has extra blades!


This cleaver is heavy! Can your cleaver do this? (Neither can this one but we thought it would make funny pictures with the geode. When I say "we" I mean "I". The rest of the "we" was looking at me like "I" was crazy for giggiling, but not maniacally. Really I wasn't giggling that way.)

Discount Vacation!

Times are tough, we sold this for $.50 cents. Someone got a great deal! I love the part that says to call up your buddies to come have a party.

What??

I just don't know what to say about this. I'll just start typing my thoughts. Why did someone donate alcohol? WHY is it in the shape of a sperm? GROSS! I have to post this though because it's definitely unique and funny in a yucky way.


and another view

Roadkill plush

This donation keeps making me giggle when I think about it. We had fun photographing our new store mascot, lovingly named Flat Cat. We also have a tire for sale.

How to have fun in the worst of times

The title and chapter page really made me laugh. This book is older but the information is still very pertinent. I read the note from the author because I was curious about the reason he wrote it the way he did. Basically we will always be a victim unless we change our attitude about being attacted. If we have the knowledge to keep ourselves safe, then we need to focus on meeting attackers with an attitude of control instead of an attitude of cowering. Kudos to this police officer for writing this book!

Ugly Sweater

A lot of hard work went into making this monstrosity. The bead work is intricate and gaudy, making the sweater weigh about 40 lbs. (exaggeration) The fuzzy yarn on the shoulders is an especially unique touch. At least it's soft. Pushpins sold separately.
Quote of the day concerning this sweater - "Nothing says over-the-hill smoker hooker like this sweater."

Creepy pin design

Conversation about this pin
Me - This looks like a segmented carapace.
Volunteer - Whatever that is.
Me - It's the hard exoskeleton of an insect. That could be designed off of part of it's leg.
Volunteer - Okaaayyy Natalie.

Bra Sisters

They don't just make internet slogans/memes with these types of sayings. They also make real life plaques!

Half of a friendship necklace

Obviously that friendship is over. They donated their bond to another person. I suppose if you haven't got any friends, you can pick up half a friendship necklace and pretend you do have one. You too can pretend you aren't a pathetic loner!

Hair

Usually when we find hair in the donations, it's disturbing. Okay, every time. I understand wanting your wig to look natural but putting gray in it on purpose? Brown is natural!

Book 2!

I'm going to assume this is book 2 in the series. We own the first book. Poor Walter is adopted by a family and they realize he has a flatulence problem. They are ready to get rid of him when his farts become and asset. I won't spoil the rest of the book, but I actually think it is a funny and cute story. I'm still snickering at the blowout sale on the cover of THIS book, pictured below. I will be buying it to add to our collection of beloved children stories. I know you are jealous!

I love books!

I just can't understand why this one didn't get made into a movie. With a main character named Frito, what's not to love?

Top-knot baby doll

This baby is kind of freaky. I just can't seem to figure out what the doll designer was going for with this one.

Mug!

How not to converse.
In case you can't read the picture
Man- How's your diet going?
Woman- Good... How's your hair growing?
