Yard Sales

[aimeeandbeatles]

okay... so I was at a flea market yard sale thingie... (it was sponsered by the newspaper company I work for, so I saw a couple of the staff there).... and I bought Abbey Road (Beatles album) on LP... get this.... THREE DOLLARS!!



Anybody have any good finds at yard sales?

Once, I got three feet at a yard sale.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

huh? three feet?

 

[Catharsis]

Sorry, just a little British humour, with a u. Carry on.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

lol. I have a record player I got at a yard sale too. 10 dollars not bad

Hmm...been to a few when I was younger. Never got anything of substance. The yard sellers in my area suck

How is that British? It isn't metric

It's British because a North American didn't understand it.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I understand some British jokes

I went to one where it was obvious the parents had just taken everything in their teenage daughters room and dumped it in the driveway without even sorting through it at all. There were photos of her and her friends, half used makeup and hair products, a condom, everything was there for whatever price was offered.

I didn't buy anything, it was too creepy and wrong.

It might not be THAT weird. Maybe she died recently?

I love yard sales. No idea what it is, but I assume it's some sort of fabric stall selling lengths of material and stuff.

Yard sales....weird. My memory of that involves an insane Chinese woman screaming about someone else buying something she wanted. Insane...

So any joke that any single North American doesn't understand is thus British? Wouldn't that mean every single joke ever?

Highly unlikely given the lack of respect they had for her stuff, If she died I'd think they'd at least want to go through her stuff. Keep the personal items, throw out a half-used lipstick, and not display her underwear, the condom, etc.

Please, just because you're not British, we would all appreciate it if you don't take out all your frustration on us. Some people were born to be British, and other, more unfortunate souls, were born not British. That's just the way it is.

You're dodging the question. I appreciate British humour as much as anyone, but not all funny jokes are thus by definition British.

 

[Mise]

Is it still British humour if a Brit doesn't get it?

Well I'm stumped... I can't think of any reason why someone would do that . Squatters?

No comment.

I figure she was either kicked out or ran away. Probably kicked out since they didn't seem to want her back.
