End of the Line

Well I gave my notice today. Two more weeks!

To celebrate here's a kitten!

Furry Baby

I've heard of water babies but fur babies? I.. wait... what? Speechless.

Some nice Canadian exercise pants for men.

The ever popular bird-cat salt and pepper shakers... purchased five minutes later.

Pray 4 Me

Giant light up Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

Actually kind of cool.. super heavy, fairly old. I kind of like 'em.

Well. Chinese silk. Priced at 24.99 though I suggested waiting for the boss.. turns out these things sell for 149.99 on ebay. The center panel rotates!

No Words Part Deux

 W.T.F.

My Age = 12

So the chunk of wood sold. And the stuffed rocking horse. In fact, most of the stuff sells. Disturbing.

Ok, so in other news.. Dick. Hahahahahahahahah. 

Yes I am a 12 year old laughing at a boy named Dick.

Yes, yes, clown, lets have JOKES! CRAZY SCARY JOKES?

Why do people insist clowns are fun?

Fog Swamp. Living with Swans in the Wilderness.

Seriously, first the name of the book - it does not make me think of swans. Second of all, how fascinating! Simply fascinating! A book about living with swans.

I'll take a pass on this one..

No Words.

Faces

My sister pointed out there was a face in this picture. I thought she meant the tennis ball (which I have never noticed before) but then she sent me the picture below.

Which made me giggle a little.

It kind of reminds me of a cat with a pope hat.

Awkward

Pretty sure this is for batting fish to death, but I still didn't want to touch it. 

I mean, who sat down and decided this was a good design? I can just picture catching a fish and pulling this bad boy out and having my friends avoid looking at me. Awkward. 

Pointless Crap

Pointless crap. Not cute, not funny. Ugly as sin.

Some Store Stories...

A few weeks ago a gentleman came into the store and bought around five giant stuffed animals. He dumped them on the counter and gave me a knowing look.
"I bet you think these are for my girlfriend" he says to me.
I look back knowingly at him and reply "You're taking these out to shoot, aren't you?"

Like I was born yesterday...

****

An elderly woman came into the store wearing super tight leggings - with giant faces of cats on them. I wish I could have taken a photo. On a side note, don't go onto Google and look up "cat leggings" - shudder!

Look moms...  I know you want to shop, but when you bring your kids in the store, we aren't babysitter's, nor is the toy area the "Play Area" as I overhead the other day.
It's not OK to leave your kids there for an hour destroying everything and dumping things and games all over the floor. And I KNOW you can hear me asking your kids to not touch these things, or open the puzzle box and yet you pretend it's not happening.
So I stand in the middle of the aisle until your kids scatter.

Then I find them one aisle over from you, under the clothing rack kicking the clothing from behind while you ignore them. And when I again ask them to stop and I pick up all the clothing, THEN you choose to come over and tell them "if you don't behave I won't take you to McDonald's"

Right.

On the other hand, there is the daycare workers that make sure the kids clean up the mess.
Or the mom, who I suspect is a foster mom who is kind and patient with her kids, but when they act up she takes them out to the truck until they behave.
Or the tall lady that comes in almost every day and her small daughter who may be 3 or 4 asks for permission to touch things.

Good parenting vs bad parenting.

I Dunno

I dunno.

I do know. And it's wrong. So wrong.

 Let's end with a little mood music to take us off the horror of the previous pictures, shall we?

Birthin' Books

Where else do you birth from?

Flashback! Alf Goes Wild. 

Why am I picturing an inappropriate party book, with Alf partying with Girls Gone Wild?

Cherry Bliss and Bondage

Guest shot from a friend Jo who works for a chain second hand store.... bondage gear! Wonder if they will put it out on the floor? Speaking of floors, I had a lady ask if we had furniture for sale. I replied "All the furniture is out on the floor" while gesturing to the area right in front of us... she then asked what the floor was. <blink, blink>
And speaking of inappropriate donations, we had this little case that was put out.. one of our customers informed us it was actually something to do with pot and when he opened it up to show us, it REEKED of pot.

For the "bigger" man, blessed in the crotchel region. 

Cherry Bliss is what I call this outfit. Lace up cherry covered pants with matching bikini top. Bought for 19.99 ten minutes after we put it out. No accounting for taste.
