03/24/2003 Entry: "Thrift Store Finds - Volume 65,200,122,033"

This edition of Thrift Store Finds will be quick like ninja. I don't have enough time to give you the complete rundown today, so instead, here's a picture gallery detailing what we saw and what we bought. My two top finds? An E.T. thermos, and the exact same Trapper Keeper I used in the second grade. Wazzahwutyeah. I also like the half-eaten Junkyard Dog figure. Here's the pics...

why are you spamming that ninja site? obviously you didnt make it. This is x-entertainment. No one cares about that site. Get a life.

whoops, maybe i should read what Matt wrote before i comment on your comment. i see now why you put that link up. it is because Matt said "quick like ninja". Sorry for making you cry. Another note: Matt, is that vomit you stepped in?

Bloody hell, I've seen that Big Red Cookbook in every house I've ever visited. I bet I'd find one hiding in my closet next to my old comics if I searched the apartment long enough. What the hell made those suckers so popular??

Chestnuts roasted by Eric Relevant @ 03/24/2003 06:14 PM EST


My mom has that cookbook. I've searched it many a time for a hidden camera from Betty Crocker herself, but still no luck. That wily minx is always one step ahead of me.

My best thrift store find was made years ago at the Oxfam shop in Peterborough, UK... just a t-shirt that says "'T' is for Trousers!" with a picture of a T and trousers on it. How great is that?

I'd pay $5 for a drawing too, if it was a mystery drawing and I could mail you the $5. I won't use PayPal because that's how they get you.

How much was that Junkyard Dog action figure? I'd pay up to $5 for that...

Anyone else find it amusing that there are McDonald's pop-up ads on X-E, a site that ridicules the fast food chain on a regular basis?

Speaking of McDonald's, here are some requests for future 80s commercials on the download page...

1. McDonald's Mac Tonight
2. That christmas commercial when Ronald McDonald teaches that kid how to ice skate
3. PSA: Penguin: "If you wanna be cool, stay in school!"
4. any 80s anti-drug PSAs you have
5. Polly-O String Cheese
6. The fun is back oh YES-SIR-E, its the 2600 from A-TAR-I!
7. That Bonkers lady who gets bonked on the head with large pieces of fruit.
8. The cast of The Cosby Show singing about Disney World.

Chestnuts roasted by Death By Stereo @ 03/25/2003 01:26 AM EST


I have some of the ones you mentioned:

2. That christmas commercial when Ronald McDonald teaches that kid how to ice skate

I've got this one.

4. any 80s anti-drug PSAs you have

I've got a few more.

5. Polly-O String Cheese

Desperately searching for it. Next to the Gremlins Against Drunk Driving commercial, it's my fave ad ever. HEY SHIMI - GIMME A CHEESE WITH NOTHIN.

6. The fun is back oh YES-SIR-E, its the 2600 from A-TAR-I!

Got it.

7. That Bonkers lady who gets bonked on the head with large pieces of fruit.

Already on the site somewhere.

Hey Matt, is that girl your 'woman' ?
I don't think we've ever seen her.
Tell us about her, other than the fact that she is a gypsie.
hehehe
j/k

What is that orange car thing next to the E.T. thermos? Now that I've seen it I just know I'm gonna go nuts trying to find it, and just using "Orange car on white legs" would probably make people try to make buzzards eat my stomach with Oxyclean. Or something.

Chestnuts roasted by Lim @ 03/25/2003 07:37 AM EST


with the missing foot, the YunkJard Dog could double as the Texas Tornado (a.k.a. the late, great Kerry Von Erich). eh eh eh....ahhh...dahellwithya

Chestnuts roasted by Kano @ 03/25/2003 10:27 AM EST


I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the greatness that is the "ALZHEIMER's Thrift Shop"...come on folks...that's comedy!

Chestnuts roasted by Kano @ 03/25/2003 10:30 AM EST

I suppose that would have to be Matt's lady... she looks like the sort of woman Matt would like - doesn't mind wandering around thrift stores and despises Nat the Rat. My girlfriend likes asking me to go "clothes hunting". EVERY DAY. Sometimes I spit on her Dad out of protest. But he understands... I think.

DuckTales! Whee!

I wish the US McDonalds had the toasted tomato and cheese sandwich like they do in other countries.

Chestnuts roasted by elbertdw @ 03/25/2003 05:50 PM EST


Matt's lady or not, Hubba hubba ! Sorry dude, couldn't help it. Anyway, did anyone else see a set of lawn dice in one of those pics? Lawn dice?

Chestnuts roasted by gozer @ 03/25/2003 06:30 PM EST


The Giant-Size Game of 21!

Lawn Dice? I guess regular dice would get lost in the grass, or something.

Look for the matching set of LAWN PLAYING CARDS

I worked at the Alzheimer's Thrift Shop (for a summer job) and I don't know if you noticed but the video section has a huge amount of tentacle anime porn. And did you go into the basement? It's dirty, and filled with the best crap.

Chestnuts roasted by Zach @ 03/26/2003 08:37 PM EST


My friend had that JYD toy.....we used to play with it in his pool...when we were like 12.

And my mom has that cook book. Is it still considered "New"?

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 04/08/2003 03:52 AM EST


Poor JYD... He lost his foot...

Chestnuts roasted by The Dork Knight @ 07/20/2003 04:27 AM EST


Would I look even dorkier than I alredy do if I say that the most interesting things I saw in the pics were the Ducktails book (that's still one of my favorite Disney shows) and the cookbook?
