    pink pean page – $10

    pink pean page for teens and kids good condition

    I’m not sure what to make of this. I’m not even sure if it’s legal.

    Is it the pean page that’s in good condition, or do the teens and kids need to be in good condition to use the pean page?

    The only thing I can guess is that maybe it’s time we have a class on the difference between p’s and b’s.

    Ah, the historically significant French Prudential period. That was a lovely era in television design, wasn’t it? Look at those classic lines and the elegant arches. They just don’t make ’em like that anymore. (more…)

    orange neon sign – $5

    orange when lit…reads 4995…

    Right. Okay then. I hope you won’t mind me asking, but are you sure you want $5 for it … or do you want $9? What? Why am I asking that? Oh, no reason.

    Perhaps more puzzling — what does one do with a neon sign that says 4559 (or 4995, for that matter)?
