So. Dave and I went to Danny's Pawn shop. (Not their page, but an article about them.)

You know how you expect to go to a pawnshop, and things should be cheaper than retail, because they're used?

Yeah... How about not. They were selling slim PS2s for 135 dollars! You can buy them new for 129! They had the old, thick PS2s for 109! Sheesh. That's not a good idea. Dave said they had GameCubes for 80 dollars.... Why you'd pay more for something used, I don't know.

They had some shinies, and there was a violin for 139 dollars. Granted, it wasn't a student violin, but it looked like it would at least need a new set of strings.

There was a Radio Shack (god forbid) keyboard for 130 dollars! WTF? I wouldn't pay more than 70 for it, NEW. But then again, I'm snooty about keyboards, and for 130 dollars, I expect to have all 88 keys. Not half of them with novelty lights and sounds.

There was a 20% off sale on chainsaws... o.O

The people there were oddly friendly. It was a bit odd.

So we came back.

We're all working on cleaning the kitchen, and there have been some gross smells.

Like the chicken that was in the fridge for a very long while... IT WAS MOLDY!!!

:/

HOLY CRAP!

They're going to play the Prince of Tennis on Cartoon Network.

I bet it'll suck.

You play violin, I'll learn the electric guitar, and we'll introduce a whole new era of metal into the world.

Didn't you see my last 'paragraph'? Go to my gallery, the album 'Just stuff' and you'll see it there. =]

'simple gifts'
lol, sorry 'bout that. It made me cry too. Because of the simple beauty of it - and because of the meaning that I attach with it.

Maybe they expect the people who pawned the things to finally get a paycheck, and then come and want to buy their precious items back, but they have to pay wildly expensive prices, but they want their thing back really badly, so they pay up.
So then maybe if it's been there for years and it's obvious that the owner isn't coming back... um... the shop has a sale?
I think of pawnshops everytime I see the word "pwned"
