“Vintage Grey Mad Men Don Draper Hat ”
So, in order for the hat to be vintage, was it manufactured before Mad Men was first aired?

I would be interested in the “vintage new fabric material”.
I am going to make some clothing that transcends the concepts of time and fashion.

Hey, Sparky, can we barter? I have a Kurt-Cobain-era charcoal grill, an antique box of matches, and a mid-century tray-mo-dairn chess set.

Best offer for the lot: a can of petrol and a box of matches.
Actually, just fire up that vintage propane BBQ, that’ll do the trick.

I guess Memorial Day is not only for remembering veterans and their sacrifices, but we’re remembering every piece of crap ever owned by us or the Greatest Generation …..I especially like the Zenith- Chromacolor II TV….I bet you can still watch I Love Lucy and Leave It To Beaver…..

I was going to say something about Leave It To Lucy and I Love Beaver, but I didn’t want to get sent to the corner without coffee slices.

Okay Sparky, is it an estate sale or a moving sale? I’d like to think that those are two different things, or is Sparky posting from beyond the grave. Is there a Craigslist purgatory?

It’s a moving estate sale. It’s currently travelling E. to West.

I went to 20 GROJ (Getting Rid Of Junk) sales on Saturday, and got a nice Sony laptop (Win7) with a dead battery for $5, but none of them would sell me their yard.

That 3-piece sofa is just plain ugly, and the only “classical line” that applies is “interficerent eam igni,”which translates approximately to “kill it with fire.”
