Snake America: Issue 14 and one half
Little slammed at work this week. Can't really write much. I do have a few questions:
1. What glasses are these:
2. What is this middle carpet called?
3. Who, where or what is Maloney?
4. Why hasn't anyone bought this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221557871853 - I spent $13 on spaghetti yesterday! And I didn't even eat it!
5. What presumably unprofitable website is the more judicious: Candy Blog, a candy blog, (e.g. this Pumpkin Brittle review: "I would still like more pepitas in there."), or Calder Cup 2000, a jersey collector's website (this Brent Gretzky jersey tick-tock: "This jersey doesn’t really fit into my collection, as Brent Gretzky never played for a team based out of Hartford...")? The jersey guy's website has what can conservatively be described as an absolute mastery of the English language. But Candy Blog is up there with Magellan or the guys who did the American Anthology of Folk Music 4xLP set in the olden days. It's tough.
6. This guy's trying to sell a Chinchilla on Craiglist, but they're illegal in New York. I tried once to buy one a while ago from this lady in Chicago who had one for trade (lmao!) for an Xbox 360, for her kid, but I didn't have one of those and didn't want to test my resolve re: shipping a chinchilla. I regret my mistake and should have bought one so I could trade it. I think that if you ask about buying a chinchilla cage at Petsmart they take your name down and put it in The System, like when you used to ask to see the Krylon in the 1980s. I guess chinchillas (chinchillae? chinchilla?) aren't illegal on Long Island, where this guy is living at. Good for them.
Real stuff next week. Thanks, especially today, for reading.
