Remember the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich I linked to the other day? Well, it sold for $28,000. Damn. I need to make me some BVMs.

Creating a Buzz: If Winona Ryder had tried this stunt, she might have gotten away with the shoplifting.

Sheep and Goats: If you dress as a goat and stalk Neil Gaiman, you might not be the first one to do so.

My Toy Sculpture: Oh wow! I wish I'd thought of this (thanks, fiachra)!

Arctic Folk at Loss for Words Again: Oh, those poor Inuit, inundated with critters they can't come up with words for. Puh-leez!

Books By the Foot: "We sell books by the foot and offer 2 catagories (sic) of books: Jeweltone at $9 a spine in quantities up to 250 and $8 a spine in quantities of 250+. Designer Mix are $13 a spine in quantities up to 250 and $12 a spine in quantities of 250+." This is so very, very wrong. I can see a restaurant or bar doing it, maybe, but if I go to someone's home and ask them about their books and they say, "Oh, I only bought it because it matches my curtains," I'll be tempted to slap them.

Croatia May Offer Holidays Behind Bars: Pay money to go to prison and eat stale bread. I wonder if it's too late to rent out my old barn and doghouse as an adventure hotel....

Collect Medical Antiques: Gorgeous, creepy, fascinating stuff. There's no way I'd let any dentist near my mouth with that stuff. Eek.
