These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

When you do a new open mic, you just never know what you're going to get. Like for instance last night my pal, Nate, and I tried out an open mic we hadn't been to yet at a place called Bootleggers on Division street. Typically, you have to get there early to sign up because there's usually a list of about 20-30 comedians hoping to get on stage. Well last night there were three. Nate, myself, and a British guy fresh off the plane. As for the audience, well that consisted of four drunk Cubs fans in from Indiana, three regulars posted up at the bar who most likely had been drinking since noon 1979, and then the two bar owners. You know what's more terrifying that telling jokes in front of a huge audience? Telling jokes in front of no audience. It's just a little awkward if you can imagine. But Nate and I both had new stuff we wanted to try out so we thought what the hell, we're gonna get up there and treat it like it was a crowd of 20,000.

It was going fine enough until half way through my set the drunk Cubs fans started rambling on about something I had said, pretty sure they were making fun of Nebraska or something, but they eventually got so loud I had no other choice but to call them out. I politely had to say,

"Excuse me gentlemen, yes you guys in the front, I know this might come as a shock to you, but I can hear everything you're saying."

At which point they all just kinda stared at me not sure what to do, because I had clearly broken through the fifth element and they didn't know how to respond. So I continued,

"I realize this might be hard to understand, what with you four being from Indiana and all, but this isn't actually a television set up here, this is live my friends, so that means I can hear you. It's mind boggling I know, but right now you're interrupting me."

And then they were incredibly good listeners for the rest of the time and even came up to us afterward to tell us good job and shake our hands. They were just a bunch of sweeties at heart, like I assumed.

Anyway guys, I recently stumbled across a really great site I have to share with you. I know what you're thinking, just another blogger review blah! But I swear to you, no one has asked me to do this. But when I find a site full of great deals I've got to share it with someone! For example just check out all of this used baby lotion! "Most bottles are 1/2-3/4 full." And that's a direct quote.


New couch, anyone? This gem is only $30. In fact, "it's sitting outside right now before it goes to the dump."


Where is this wonderful site you're asking yourself? It's simply a Facebook group from my hometown in Nebraska where people post anything and everything they want to sell or trade. Literally anything. It might be my favorite thing to browse ever. It's just a goldmine of goodies. But I've kept it to myself for long enough. Everything I am about to show you has been posted to the site in the last 48 hours. And thus I bring you today:

The Ten Best Items Up For Grabs From My Favorite Hometown.

This one doesn't even have a caption, but if I had to guess, I think the camo bag is for sale? Or perhaps the deer antlers on the wall? Or the Sunkist box?


Used cloth diapers. "In good condition, but elastic is getting weak." But mostly good condition considering.... you know, the weak elastic.


Not one, but TWO bags of marbles. I'm sold.


Wolf bedding. Wait a second, this looks like my old bedding! Damnit, mom.


Satin pink tube top. Perfect for any occasion. Literally any occasion.


Guys, this beauty is "smoke free." Which we all know is hard to come by in this day and age of so many couches taking up smoking once again.


These are $7, or best offer. But you have to live in 1972. No exceptions.


Phone charger! Man if I had a dime for every time I said, "If only I had another charger for my Motorola Flip Phone..."


This photo just said "$20." The first comment read, "is it real?" The verdict is still out on this one.


Slightly used with just a few marks, but for the most part okay. 
But what condition is the bra in?


Like I said, this site is a goldmine. I can't wait to go home in a few short weeks. There's not a thing I don't appreciate/love about being from a small town. Good honest folk, doing good honest things. God love it.

*And if you'd like more information regarding how you can actually purchase any of the above items just let me know, I'm simply trying to help my peeps sell their stuff is all.
