I feel I should brag about some stuff I recently got at a couple of thrift stores and a flea market as second hand stores are now my favoritest place in the whole wide world.

Batman- An excellent movie as long as you have your 80's filter on

Batman Forever- An excellent movie if you were born with some kind of mental condition that makes you unable to discern between good and bad

Street Fighter II- The Animated Movie- What the hell is this?

Star Trek 7- A book containing six Star Trek short stories. I presume it's the seventh in some series. The first story involves the crew discovering that the Greek Gods were actually super-advanced aliens. Use your own judgement about the quality

Godzilla- A Junior Novelization- Without using hyperbole, I can say this is a million billion kajillion times worse than any other book ever printed. Sentence structure lifted out of Dick and Jane.

Chose Your Own Adventure #7 - Help! You're Shrinking!- Not as good as that one where you're a secret agent.

Dr. Mario- Haven't been able to play it because my NES is not hooked up.

Best of all, none of these items were over $3.50.

I also got an unopened package of Super Fucking Mario napkins circa 1989. Not sure what use they have, but they were $.80.

My best ever thrift store finds:

A black t-shirt with a huge pentagram on it that says "The Lord Is My German Shepperd"
A Super Mario Bros. TIE (kicks the arse of all napkins, I'd say)
A brown-on-brown cowboy shirt
A copy of "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol (this is the vinyl we're talking here)
A beer stein that says "I Lost My Ass In Las Vegas", and there's a picture of a donkey.
A camouflage trucker hat that has a deer in a crosshair on it, above the deer it says "The Buck Stops Here", the looks I get from snotty vegan kids are hilarious.
"The Time Machine" by HG Wells (it has some short story in it as well that is quite entertaining)
A pin with a rather frightening cartoon rabbit on it that says "I've Met Dempster Rabbit!" I assume that the rabbit's name is Dempster.

There are probably others, but those are tops right now.

That was brilliant, man. laugh.gif

My dad has a big orange road sign in our garage that basically translates to "No Bullshit" (a picture of a bull...you know what it's doing...with the "no" slash mark through it) that he used to keep it in his office at work, and I think my brother has stolen some actual signs, but I can't remember what they are.

I don't have any cool thrift store finds (mainly because I don't think we have a thrift store around here), but looking through some stuff that's been lost in my room, which I'm just now properly cleaning for the first time in years, I've found an unbelievably long role of yellow "CAUTION" tape, and two bottles of five-year-old black nail polish.

...I wonder if it still works.
Check out my crappy drawings!

thrift stores are great. If you find yourself carrying so much around the store that it's burdensome, I'd suggest picking up a vintage suitcase.

I almost got a kiddie push button xylophone (wow, I can play chords) but passed. on my way out I found, face to the wall (what is that?) a 2-1/2 octave shoenhut children's spinet piano (just like Cartman's in the Faith plus one ep) only $15! in tune, great for practicing chords!

First Three issues of WOLVERINE, 1981 seires MINT!

UNOPENED box of SW, ESB, trading cards, complete with stale gum sticks

Over 200 GI JOES (snakes eyes, storm shadow, beachhead etc..

First 4 issues of GROO THE WANDERER

Liam Gallagers yellow soccer shorts, and brown jacket

I think that's it.


Ok, I got the SW cards at a ST convention, and Liam's clothes from my sister, but everything else came from garage sales, and thrift stores.

I scored the wolverines for 10 bucks per comic at a garage sale!!

I know absolutely nothing about comics, but I've going to wager a guess that that is an incredible find, correct? It usually is when I hear people talking about them.

those books were great!! and it was so easy to cheat by using your finger to keeping the last page you were on. so if you died you could just turn back and 'go to page 43' instead.

my favorite was the one titled 'You are a shark'

Mr. jariten, have you perchance seen the chose your own adventures on I-Mockery? Those are excellent, there are two that have something like 40 endings, and there's plenty of humor in there.

In other news, recently I bought the following:

X-Men VHS: $3
Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band soundtrack, vinal: $.50
The Smashing Pumpkins : Melon Collie cassete: $.50 each
Less Than Jake, some three song cassete thingy: $.50

All money American.

Not even worth that, really. What a horrible excuse for a movie...

Peter Frampton plays about four or five songs on it, I think it's worth it.
