A Match Made in Heaven.
There are certain kinds of events that I am gleeful about seeing certain people participate in, because I just know that the experience will give rise to something interesting or comical. Along those lines, think “Garage Sale†and “Topdawg†from Two Nervous Dogs.
Yes, Topdawg was a seller at the Topdawg Garage Sale where he (or is it “she?†Sorry. I honestly am not sure whether Topdawg is a boy dog or a girl dog) reports experiencing “high entertainment in the spectacle of watching people pay money for things I am about to unceremoniously shitcan anyway.â€
I would have been willing to pay money (considerably more than was brought in by the sale of the “White Plastic Hamper Chock Full O’ Ragsâ€) just to have been able to watch it all happen.
I wonder if I can get it on VCR.
Girl dawg, of course. Thought you knew. My sidebar must be too subtle. Will remedy. Thank you for the link! No footage of the event, sorry.

People will buy anything at a garage sale. We have a yearly tradition at ours….a grab bag of used underwear. Last year was the first time it didn’t sell.
Can you imagine the type of person who buys underwear at a garage sale? I’m not sure you can.

You have GOT to be kidding- not only is it an opportunity to have the biggest variety of people come to YOUR house while you sit outside in lawnchairs sipping margaritas, but THEY PAY YOU to do it basically!!! I’ve made some serious coin selling clutter, with a side of crap sometimes…and if you KNOW how to read the ads in the papers, you, too, could pay cash money to make somebody else’s day- the catch there is that you only go to the VERY well to do yard sales- they have an entirely different take on what constitutes crap. For instance, “oh, this Armani/Versace/whatever fit just the other day…guess the spa is working” and next thing you know, you’ve got a designer something in the back seat of your car that the dog is sitting on, or your kid just threw up on, that only cost you $3.00. (leave dogs and kids at home if you can!)
Try it- think of it like a Jack Kerouak/across America kinda thing! May inspire poetry! Ok, that’s over the top, maybe, but you really should try it!

It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.
