Oh my gawd. Steve just sent along a meme picture they made. I'm sure it's of a true occurrence.

It's a picture of a white bearded hipster-ish guy holding a tenor sax, in the shop, and looking at it.

Steve went a block down Broad St to pick up some drinks for our pizza delivery order. On the way back, he reports noticing a thug with his pants low. The thug reaches down, pull out his dick, and starts pissing on the sidewalk in front of him, continuing to walk.

Yeah North Broad Street. The street is particular filthy today, not just with thug pee, but with trash and crap. Nothing can be done because if it is cleaned thoroughly it will be filthy again in two weeks.

Trolling for queers

European-American suburban teenagers do that, too. It's called the walking piss.

No, not me.

I only ever did that at night, when I was drunk, and it was on the grassy right of way.

This particular pawn shop appears to be in dire straits...

The ultimate irony, a broke pawnbroker.:eek:

I've no doubt that the statement of assets and liabilities will make interesting reading.

I went downstairs yesterday, to the storage area, and it was only half full. I hope this is due to the terrible winter, but it could also be the thieves being scared off by the camera system which takes their actual pictures and enters them into the system.

I'm pretty sure it's not due to a decline in the number of desperate people. Or increased economic activity getting everyone jobs. That is not going to be why this is happening.

Because our sex toys venture did not result in a lot of sales, I continue to eBay sex toys from time to time. I just listed on eBay a "Basic Essentials Standard Probe."

"Standard" turns out to be 6 inches long, thick, and black, with a "convenient retrieval cord".

When you sell items on eBay, eBay guesses what categories the items belong in. So if you sell an "Apple iPad" it will suggest "Tables and E-Readers" as a category.

If you sell a Basic Essentials Standard Probe, the categories eBay suggests are:

If you sell a Cock Ring Elastomer, the categories eBay suggests are:

I should add that eBay has perfectly good categories for these items. This one, for example, belongs in "Health & Beauty > Health Care > Sexual Wellness > Sex Accessories." I think eBay doesn't suggest these categories, ever, because they don't want them to come up by accident when people are selling non-sexual items.

Nothing on that...? OK it wasn't that funny.

Big news today was that Ron was fired. The surprise is that it took this long. Ron truly hates being told to do things by other people. I'm with him on that but I tend to bend when they are paying me.

Steve speculated that it might have to do with Ron's asking for a raise a few weeks ago. As a terrible employee and generally despicable person, he had done nothing to earn it, and maybe that was the last straw. This puts the shop down a counter person and could wind up with me being offered time at the window. On the other hand, maybe it's a cost-saving measure while business is not so good.

It is funny/interesting but I was too creeped by the idea of purchasing used ah... implements of destruction.

I'm still processing the revolting walking piss image.

I seriously doubt those "implements" were not new.

Oh yeah we got all that shit direct from the wholesaler. It was new in sealed package. I doubt it's legal to resell otherwise.

Well now you've ruined a perfectly good freak out.
