Save those Vol ticket stubs

Bidding on this 1939 UT vs Alabama ticket stub is at $202.50 and still going strong with 5 days left.

Update: Guess it wasn’t “still going strong”. It just sold for $202.50. Still quite a price for an old ticket stub.

Do the dew..

And I thought Fire King coffee mugs were expensive. This Mountain Dew bottle just sold on ebay for $2045.00. If I were the seller, I’d surely be shouting yaaa hoooooo Mountain Dew!

72 year old woman uncovers rare baseball card in box of junk.

Rare Baseball Card

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

Why is it … you and 10 of your closest friends can walk into any nice restaurant in town (as far as I know) …have a nice meal … hand them your credit card … and have them accept it with no questions asked. Then you pull through the drive through at the local KFC… order a $10 bucket of chicken wings.. hand them your credit card (same one that just bought that $400 meal for you and your 10 friends)… and have them ask for your ID?

Is it the clientele? The lower profit margins on fast food? A sign of things to come?

$57 Plastic Ice Scraper

More eBay evidence that we are not in a total recession. I realize it is old and has Chevrolet advertising on it. BUT, a $57 plastic ice scraper??? Someone wanted that ice scraper awfully bad.
