09.22.09 Thrifted

The other day the wife and I stopped by a thrift store in our new neighborhood. She got a beautiful old cabinet that we devoted our weekend to, stripping the layers and layers of paint off of (we're still not done). And while she found beautiful furniture to enhance our home I walked around looking at the crap.

It's nice when you can get all the clothes that your group needs to be the Village People in one place, isn't it?

You might have noticed this on the first photo, but for some reason they keep writing 'Obama' on all the price sheets. If you have any clue what this is about please share the knowledge.

And then there was this beauty. Boy, oh boy, do I hope they were just abbreviating jewelry box. [Places index finger into collar of shirt, pulls exaggeratedly, flexes neck, makes unsettled noise.]

I want a "Jew Box"... I can't tell you how many times I've had a question about judaism and no jews to be found.

I guess the fact that you get the crap AND OBAMA (!!) justifies their prices. Village People outfit, value = $.50; Obama, value = $44.50. That is so worth it!!


+Shannon says...

And what's with the missing knobs? Probably removed by whoever put the Jews in the box...oh, and what the hell is that thing to the left of the black jacket?! A Diaper Genie, perhaps? I shudder to think.

They're probably tea partiers who think that the dollar is going to be renamed the "Obama" - or that in the New World Order, the American currency is going to have to be qualified, like "This fancy fringe suit would have been $100 Canadian, but I got it for only $44 Obama!"

Or maybe they are just reeeeeally psyched about hope and change.

Or MAAAYbe "Obama" is now SYNONYMOUS with "change" in all parts of speech- like, "I need to Obama my attitude!" or "You'd better pack an Obama of underwear," or "That'll run you about fifteen dollars and some Obama."

Is it just me or does that last one say "manican"?


+The Maiden Metallurgist says...

Not to be confused with the mani-can't


+Ris says...

It's the south side. Everyone LOVES Obama. Have you been to the Obama Walgreens on 55th and Lake Park? It's...an experience.


+Chuck says...

At least it's a box and not a lampshade. Or an ashtray.
