I’d like to get my wife a dozen of those… On a less silly note, I was digging around my storage unit, where about 2/3 of my household possessions currently reside. It happens to be next door to the unit the management uses to run a perpetual garage sale of items forfieted for back rent. You would not believe the number of bozos who wanted to go through my stuff for bargains, too. ---

If you had said mole asses, I might buy some. I plan on baking some cookies this weekend. What kills me is the guy got 13 bids. 13! ---

Considering that Nothing is sacred, that’s not a bad price. ---

Makes you realize just how ahead of his time Mark Knopfler was. Seems like they’re making much ado about this, though. :smack: ---

Thats pretty funny considering he is up front about it all. Check out the other items he has for auction, plus in the feedback comments there are buyers praising his selling of “nothing”. This is not the first time. ---
