Someho...I've even found smut at Liquidation World. Somehow, it seemed smuttier than it perhaps normally would have, lodged as it was between thin novels based on after-school tv shows from the 80's and do-it-yourself manuals involving woodburning and pipe cleaners. What did it think it was doing there? Or, maybe a better question - how many of them were there to begin with? Was it only ever just the one, or will Liquidation World become the mecca for those old creepy guys who used to come into the video store I worked at, looking for the weekly smut shipment? *shudder*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6943519.post-1149006819929414392006-05-30T10:33:00.000-06:002006-05-30T10:33:00.000-06:00Okay, click on the link for the Liquidation World ...Okay, click on the link for the Liquidation World website. See those bottles of peppers? Yeah, well, Kenny bought one of those at some dollar store or somewhere sketchy and was really pissed off when I pointed out that they were "for decorative purposes only" and not for eating.

Lovecraft might enter and have the distinct feeling that he had wandered into one of his own stories.

I often wonder if my books are kipple. But then that would make my Philip K Dick collection eerily self-referencing, and I have to go have a few pints to make sure my junk doesn't become self-aware.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Astroboy dolls that fire lights when pressed behind the shoulder. Lengths of hose no longer than an ever useful 6ft for $3.99. I’ve seen mag-lev globes that overheat when left on for over an hour. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Procter-Silex Toaster Oven’s Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to buy… or at least to slash those saving even further and happily embrace the fullness of shopping bags and bathe in a wash of kipple.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KippleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
