thrift store finds

I took a half day at work with hopes of getting drunk over lunch.

We didn't end up getting drunk but instead, after lunch, went thrift store shopping.

It is well known, in my neck of the woods, that Value Thrift store has a 50% off sale on most holiday Mondays (MLK, Presidents Day, Labor Day etc). I always thought to myself "who the fuck has to wait until used socks and underpants go on sale? why not spend the $1.99?" But here I stood, pawing through the vintage skirts like it was the zombie fashion apocalypse.

I walked through my typical thrift store areas; bags, scarves, material, slips (oooh I love me some vintage slips), potholders (you never know...), vintage section and then I saw David and in his hand shown gold.

"You got it?" I asked.

"Yep. And these lego guys..." David shows me the bag. Zelda for NES. 50% off. He'd been watching this game for a while...

You see, we have been on a sort of quest...We want to get as many of the top 100 NES games as we can. Some people have kids ... we collect NES games. Currently we have 35 (not all top 100 however).

After our magnificent finds which included 2 nintendo games, the gun for nintendo, hundreds of Topps baseball cards from 1987, a banana keeper FROM JAPAN , a neat wooden box labeled "criminal index", and 7 great books. I think we walked away with a pretty good sampling of shit.

I think every MLK day is going to be dedicated to bringing more useless shit into my life.
