Two days of blogging in a row! I haven't achieved that astounding blogging feat, well...ever.
And to think, it's all inspired by the back-to-back home runs Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau just scored against the Seattle Mariners.
Too bad my back-to-back blogs don't rake in millions of dollars.
Last weekend I attended a three-day outing we refer to as the Garage Sale Trip. Since it is 2009, we creatively titled it GST '09. Essentially, we pile in an oversized vehicle (this year a purple conversion van) and tool along Highway 61, stopping at garage sales and bars all the while.
We all picked up some excellent, basement-bargain crap. However, some purchases were better than others and really deserve some recognition.
So, let's let the good times roll by rolling out a new bit on Pistola Whipped gets a life. A bit that shall only grace (or disgrace) us once a year.
We shall title it: Who bought the best crap on GST '09?
Let's get the party started!
In third place: Sal and Karen!
These cheaply made, blister-producing flip-flops were purchased not at a garage sale, but at the first of many bars we stopped at. How else to commemorate a lovely trip but with sandals bearing the bar's name?
And, moving on to second place: Karen!
For some reason, only to known to Karen, she purchased an ice cream maker.
Here's a conversation with Karen regarding the ice cream maker:
Me: An ice cream maker? Were you looking for one of those?
Karen: Not really (puzzled look on face).
Jenna: How are you going to get that back to LA? (Karen lives in LA and flew home)
Karen: I'm not sure. Do you want this?
Jenna: Does it work?
Karen: I don't know.
Jenna: No.
Me: No.
Karen: I'm not sure why I bought this.
I know that conversation was exciting, but after much postulating as to why Karen bought the ice cream maker it can only be surmised that this garage sale also sold a lot of this at the right price and possibly influenced Karen's state-of-mind:
And in first place for the best purchase on GST '09...Jenna! (as modeled by Karen)
No one is really sure what it is. Possible names that were thrown out: Snuggles, The Great Navy Blue Wonder and Jenna's Future. In any name, Jenna purchased this lovely (itchy) item in Read's Landing for a cool $1. A man with a conspicuous toupee sold it to her. His demeanor and general approach to the sale led us to believe that he probably had a lot of sex whilst wearing the item, most likely with himself.
Way to go, Jenna! This picture demonstrates Jenna's elation at winning first place:
You won this year's: Who bought the best crap of GST '09!
I'm off to count down the days 'til GST '10,
