Sign my life away

Just a rubber mouse to scare the shit out of the waitresses with and an awesomely weird Japanese novel (aren't they all?); Sayonara Gangsters:

Nothin in there today kid

Just a book, at least its a good one; H.S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas:

Getting this book today had me thinking, wouldn't it be cool to do a little Gonzo Journalism on thrift stores. I could do a bunch of narcotics, wash it down with some Bacardi 151 and hit thte road and see where it takes me. Probably not a good idea because I would either A. be dead or B. be dead.
The Quincy goodwill usually gets exhausted of good finds mid-week, so I'm gonna bet that nothing will turn up tomorrow.
Friday is my last day of real work for a month! I may have some odd jobs here and there but other than that let my thrift binge begin.
I'm really looking forward to having Saturday mornings off so I can scour Craigslist for good yard sales.

***EDIT***

For a few days this board game caught my eye, its called Samurai Swords and its basically an Axis & Allies game but in Feudal Japan. Once I looked up its value I rushed back over to the goodwill and snatched it up. This will be another ebay auction, because it is going for BIG money, and only cost me 5 dollars:

Is anyone working here?

Nothing too much going on at Harrison today. As always, still walked out of there with some things of value.

As far as ashtrays go, im not a collector of them, but when I see a huge 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team one, I'll pick it up in a heartbeat:


A Namco PS1/Ps2 light-gun:


Soldiers of Fortune for Genesis:


Made a quick stop into Quincy and got probably the most random thing I've yet to pick up; Wind-Up sushi:

You people are so good to me

Today I had to go into Norwood to have my car serviced, so I decided after to go to some places I usually don't get out to.

Salvation Army Norwood:
This is actually a fairly new location, it certainly didn't have the SA odor and dirtiness. I felt like I was in Jordan's furniture the way they set the place up. This location has awesome deals on books (soft covers 4/$1) and records ( 50 cents ea.) other than that everything is way overpriced. There were a lot of antiques there, but the prices scare you away ( glassware was insane $2.99 and up). I actually found an awesome LP storage case, but since it didn't have a price tag they wouldn't sell it to me (boo!). Still got a few things.
Records; Gregorian Chant, 2 Polka and an accordion:


An interesting book on Hitler:

A local baseball jersey:

Salvation Army Attleboro:

Now this was the SA I'm used to: dirty place, shady client el, unmistakable odor. This store actually had a "collectibles" section. Their idea of collectible is madly skewed. I'm assuming this section is a ploy for suckers.
Got two cds; The Cranberries To the Faithful Departed and a late 90s Hardcore Compilation thats actually pretty damn good called Gain Ground- A Fistful of Hardcore:

Quincy Goodwill:

I never thought I'd say it, but after a day with the SA, I'll go back to goodwill rules any day. The goodwill is better in my opinion because I can buy items that don't have prices ( which puts a cashier on the spot and you usually get a great deal), and the wares aren't ridiculously overpriced.

What a weird haul today. A 10-pack of Cd-r's, bad ass sunglasses, and an awesome book; The Only Bush I trust Is My Own:


Not pictured is this little Hello Kitty bag for Justine, I couldn't leave the store without getting it, I'd feel bad about it later on.

How can you be so tired, you just started

Nothing like a Sunday noon visit to the goodwill, my brain is usually recovering from the night before and I have no clue what to expect in there because I never go on Fridays and Saturdays.
With that said, on to the goods.

N64 and PS2 controllers:


A 1982 GI Joe Mobat Tank:


A nice Warsteiner 4-glass set:


Headed over later on to Brockton, but didn't see anything that caught my eye.

Totally not fair!

Two more old-school ninja turtles books. The one on the left is an awesome pop-up:

Hey! You aren't supposed to be buying those...

...crowed the woman who works at the goodwill but actually doesn't work for the goodwill. She tells me she sorts them in the front because this old man she knows collects glassware. So I tell her my family has been collecting glass for 25 years ( a lie) but that shut her right up.

2 Nice Sam Adams flute glasses:

I couldn't resist getting this, an original Teeneage Mutant Ninja Turtle Activity book, unused! Connect-the-dots motherfucker:

Remember that bad-ass child's dinosaur plate from a few posts ago? Well I found the cup to go with it. Could I be any more of a mess, I certainly hope not:
