I speak of the GoodWill, a non-profit business that takes your donations and sells them for a pittance of their normal retail value. In the states it is a truly underutilized store, which is great because hey I get good bargains.

Although I will admit the Goodwill is a quirky place. It is quite magical in its prices. Some things are 2.99, others are 6.99, only the cashier truly knows. You don't really mind though because either way you are getting a good deal. It is the only store that I buy shit without looking for a price tag, because I know it is going to be a good price every time.

Recently I bought a laptop bag. I noticed while in my suit I look quite shabby carrying around a backpack. So, five dollars later I have one that would be fine in any college kids hands.

Next I needed a brown belt to go with my wonderful brown shoes. Sure enough they have one that that looks decent and fits, cha ching.

After trying on a dozen dress shirts I find two that I like, the fit is a bit off but after 3.99 I can afford to go to a tailor and get it altered a bit.

In the kitchen aisle I find a couple of things I am missing, namely a fryer, coffee maker and a blender. Four dollars each and they work quite well, doing the whole brewing, blending and frying things that they do.

As I made my way out of the Kitchen aisle I came across the kids section, really it is not much of a section. More of a 8X8 square where kids can play with kids toys that are already broken. They leave the boardgames alone though, where you can find some nice treasures on the cheap. Yahtzee & Stratego, in the book style, $2 each.

Truly the Goodwill is a great place, tell us of the secondhand treasures you have found at a Goodwill or thrift store.

    I bought a shirt there for 10 dollars, that is like crazy high for a shirt.

    You are going into suit territory there. It was a weird shirt too, labeled as a small but it fits me fine, I am not a small guy.

    yeah, but i am pretty sure it'd be unwilling

    look, they leave it open for anybody to just come on in so they shouldn't act surprised or anything

    I like GoodWill very much but most of their shirts are old high school and organization shirts and I can't pull off that ironic look. The one near me usually has good auctions, though.

    We got a pretty awesome new couch + loveseat from Salvation Army for 200 bucks. You can't even really tell someone has owned them before, perfect condition.

    Got an almost-new fridge complete with ice maker and ice/water dispenser for the same price.

    So very, very awesome.

    So I was playing Heroes of Might And Magic (The first one!) today

    I fought some ghosts, and had forgotten that when ghosts kill dudes, those dudes are turned into ghosts

    and they killed off all 150+ of my peasants, so I got my ass whipped

    Dang, I didn't think of that. I knew it had to be something.

    Some person's body meats were probably stored in the fridge, too, seeing as how it would normally sell for nearly a thousand.

    Long story short no one would ever classify my sexual encounter as rape. Laying down the facts without any form of context though it could appear that way because alcohol was involved.
