Andy Rooney: Everything’s CRAP.
I am, for the most part, in a perpetual good mood. But there are days in which I get completely fed up with things, when I want yell, and when I need to purge the system. Today is that day. Let’s begin by blowing off steam. As I sometimes hate the sound of even my own complaining, the rest is behind a the cut.
1. I don’t get flea markets. I went to one yesterday as it was my mother’s birthday and I had said I’d spend the day with my parents. This makes two Saturdays in a row and that alone is enough to make me a bit crazed. But we went to a flea market. We all hated it but curiosity had gotten the better of us when we decided to go.
Well, let me tell you…Flea Market = CRAP Market. What the HELL have people been doing collecting all of this crap for years? Now, every so often, there was an interesting collection of old toys:
But then there’s be something that looks like a nightmare toy. A clown with missing teeth? WTF?
And the absolute worst for me…is the miles and miles of bucolic wood carved, holiday themed crap like the below:
So, to sum up: Flea market = CRAP.
2. The line to that particular tune is “Put the blame on Mame, boys.” It is not “Put the blame on me, boys.” And by the way, while were on the topic: Rita Hayworth > Akon. Akon = CRAP.
3. Yeah, I deleted 3-10. I was sick of looking at my own complaining.

I’m totally on board about the wood-”carved” holiday Made-in-China-not-really-handmade crap.
Sometimes, you just gotta have a crappy day.
Hope your rant helped, though.
In the meantime, I prescribe some delivery from your favorite “crap” food joint and a day on the couch watching movies. (At least, that’s what I’ll probably do.)

C’mere you big lug. You need a hug and an escape of breaking and entering into buildings that have been abandoned to do some photo shooting.

Two Saturdays in a row with your folks? No wonder you need to blow off some steam. I knew you were a nice guy, but this goes above and beyond. ESPECIALLY with a flea market in the mix!

Heh, I liked 3 through 10! You’re such a badass for getting all aggro on that vendor guy.

Hope you feel better now it’s all out there. Well, except for 3-10.

That’s why I don’t go to flea markets anymore. Most of the stuff they sell is crap, and it’s overpriced. Even if the stuff looks like it’s good quality, it’s overpriced at best.
I remember buying a luggage set for my trip to Korea thinking I scored a deal. My luggage started to tear after a week of travel.

Hmm. Sounds like someone’s having a bad day…in addition to exposure to too much crap.
*big hug for RE*
