Hilarious caption! And a good point, too. I like the way you photographed these. Great angle and lighting.

Mr Fab: Ok. You found me out. Bidding Starts at 1.99 or Buy It Now® for 9.99. Shipping and handling to be determined. I accept Pay Pal, Credit Cards, Faint Praise, Loose Change... Oh wait, that's in my profile already.
Gee, has NYC found a way to tax folks in Maine? :)

ReplyDeleteThose are great. I think I would bid on them. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love these. How much are you selling them for? Kidding. :-)
