Thrift store scores
« on: January 24, 2009, 04:03:53 PM »
Today I scored a brand new pair of Hi Top red keds (look like Chuck Taylor) and two Willie Nelson albums. My wife got a nice canvas laundry hamper.

Anyone else fan of thrift stores or garage sale shopping?

Yeah mon, I love rootin around for all the little random treasures you can find (bought some brand new hi-tek boots for six bucks and a duke ellington record for a dollar last time) plus you can get cheap clothes and pants to cut up and sew little bags and things. Which reminds me, anybody need a bag sewn for their pipe or bong or whatevs or a board bag for travelling with trucks and wheels on the bottom for easy transportation, let me know. I need $ so bad!!  
say they ain't no gravity up there....mean we could get high and never come down....

I used to have a shirt i bought from salvation army that just said "Big time John". I outgrew it though so I can't wear it anymore without looking regular, but damn I loved that shirt.

i got some good stuff, but its the stuff i didnt buy that really bugs me. im still questioning why i didnt buy a t-shirt that said "what came first, the chicken or the egg" with a picture of an egg and a chicken both in bed smoking cigarettes. not even the biggest pile of shit would wear that to a nascar event
