Default A not so lucky ending

Whilst the three low life musketeers, spent hours thinking of child like bathroom humor and viscous attacks, we were quite busy obtaining two items from America's toughest want list.

So all you ex-cons, liberal drug users and micro-minds take note... we managed a 1000 hits from our post- and obtained just what we wanted-two ultra rare baseball cards.

Keep up the good work.

Bruce- just out of curiosity, what were the two cards you purchased?

The funniest thing to me is that I actually have something on Bruce's list. Would I ever sell to him? Absolutely not. We have a past. After having my choice of profession called into question, being called disgusting/hideous names, and being threatened by Bruce, I will never sell to him. He is just going to say that I will sell it to someone else eventually and then he will buy it at a later time. Maybe, but it will probably cost him more just because it will pass through more hands (maybe not, I have a good couple of decades on Bruce and I am into collecting for the long haul). It is really sad because, honestly, I enjoy helping other collectors out and I know that deep down, Bruce is a collector and has an amazing collection. But it will be at least one card lighter. Sorry.

The things that Bruce needs most are not on his want list.

I also have an item that Bruce has tried to buy, repeatedly. It's not for sale. In this case, nothing personal against Bruce. It's not for sale to anyone. Once I explained that to him, all bets were, seemingly, off.

As I said before, I don't really dislike Bruce. I just don't like people who try to act smarter than they really are.

Bruce is not smart enough to act smarter than he is. A walk down memory lane...http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/ite...-card-col.html

I just re-read the story...I laughed through the whole thing (again). In true fashion, and living up to their penultimate selves, Bruces, double posted a comment after the article. Someone really should take excerpts from this place and put it into a book...Ya' can't make this stuff up!!

Barry,

I wouldn't venture a guess as to the two cards that were "purchased." As for the sellers:

That is an awful way to talk about Barry! I know he's a little more liberal than most, but I don't think he's ever been convicted of anything. Any drug use was probably confined to youthful indiscretion. I refuse to hold it against him. (Rob D on the other hand, is probably on his own here.)

I guess I'm the micro-mind (sic), Jim. As soon as I figure out what that means, I'll take offense if it will make Bruce happy.
