I almost bought 10 more character jugs this week. In fact, I did buy 10 character jugs but the deal fell apart when the asshole selling them decided to toss in a $40 shipping charge even though I was picking them up. I was suffering from a little buyer's remorse after agreeing to buy them because I'm running out of places to display them and my future daughter-in-law has made it clear that she doesn't want any of this shit when I croak. So it was pretty easy telling the guy to go fuck himself when he tacked on the extra charge. Fools like me that are willing to buy all his jugs don't grow on trees.
The 3 boxes of stuff I bought a few weeks ago still haven't been sorted and assimilated. I left them all sitting on the dining room table hoping some would be claimed. So far nothing has been claimed and I've been told to clear off the table. I accidentally found a use for one of the pieces.
It's a Limoges pitcher and I now happen to own a shitload of limoges junk. I think it makes a cool vase but the ladies of house don't share my enthusiasm. But I'm still in love with the moorcroft lamp so who gives a shit about the other crap.
Billy says he loves you sons of bitches.
Yes, it's an attractive vase. You could also fill it up with red wine the next time you're having a Roman orgy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should leave your character jugs to a young collector in your will. You could make the offer on ebay.
my infatuation with jugs will probably soon pass so the question is, what will catch my attention next?
DeleteI sure don't want to claim any of your shit.
ReplyDeletenot even the scooter? i just came back from an outstanding outing on the mighty scooter. it's going to be super hot today so a refreshing sunday morning cruise on the scooter was just what the doctor ordered.
DeleteThe scooter isn't crap, but I don't want it either, cool as it is, I want electric cart.
Deletei'm feeling the urge to get a crotch rocket. a kid in our neighborhood just bought a ninja 600 that puts out 110hp and only weighs 300 pounds. my little scooter weighs 286 pounds and has about 13hp.
DeleteNice looking place. I like your cloth on table
ReplyDeletethanks dora, the wife insisted on putting that cloth on the table before i put a few boxes of stuff on it.
DeleteI am one of those weirdos that does not like summer at all :) I am a winter person through and through
ReplyDeletei like winters but all winters are not created equal. i wouldn't be very happy in most canadian cities during the winter months.
DeleteWill your scooter make it all the way here to NC? If so, I'll take it and gladly pay you $40 for the shipping.
ReplyDeletewe're too far apart for me to make a counter offer.
ReplyDeleteI'll deliver it to Luke for you for 35 bucks. It will give me something to do other than sit at home, I'm always into great adventures over sitting on my ass at home collecting fucking mugs. That's just how kings roll. :-)
Deletewe've established the delivery charge but the selling price seems to be up in the air.
DeleteI thought we were assuming you'd croaked. You can't take it with you.
ReplyDeleteBut if I have to sweeten the pot then how about two more shares in my thriving ditch digging business?
Can we put a price on croaking? Does he get the ditch digging shares before or after croaking?
Deletei'll be in a folger's coffee tin when the time comes so toss a mercury dimes in the tin and we'll be square.
DeleteFolgers coffee tin? I thunk you wuz a high class coffee man.
Deletethe dude abides man.
DeleteI'm surprised she doesn't have you sleeping in the shed.
ReplyDeleteYou were picking them up and he tacks on a $40 charge?!?! Insane. You should put up a photo of your scooter.

Frump should follow your posts if he wants to see a picture of your scooter.
ReplyDeleteOh Mr. Rosewater, you do make me laugh. I loved this line: Fools like me that are willing to buy all his jugs don't grow on trees. Have a good one, my friend.
