I paid $50 for a kickstarter for a miniature inflatable flailing tube-man (like the ones they have at car dealerships). I did indeed receive the product and now I have no idea what to do with it.

Check out my TFLC Excuse Log!
I bought a lot of stupid poo poo like garbage pail kid posters from the 80s and Commodore 64 memorabilia that just sits in a box somewhere because I’ve already shat up the house with other nerd crap.

But that doesn’t compare to what someone tried to pay me money for, and that was to watch anime with him. I think that was before his even creepier furry roommate tried to push me into borrowing some anime series. I already didn’t like anime but now I still don’t like it.

I donated to public radio to get a bobblehead of the public-radio morning guy, an extremely weird septagenarian who barely knows how to operate modern equipment and spends half his show talking about gardening and his thrift-store purchases

You'll all laugh at this:

Two years ago, I was contacted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs re: some property that was owned by my grandmother, but it had been forgotten/abandoned. Apparently, I was to be the recipient of this unknown parcel of property. Years go by, and I forgot about it until I get a notice for a probate hearing early this year. The hearing was two weeks ago. As it turns out, the land my grandmother owned was .00013 of a hundred acre parcel of land in Nebraska. It was being overseen by the Winnebago tribe. The tribe had been leasing the land for agricultural use, and it was earning a fair bit of money that way for the fractionalized owners. Crestfallen at the fact that I was not to be a land baron, the judge informed me that there was an account that had been accruing money for over 50 years(!), and I was going to receive that.

.....it was $107.03

Here's where it gets fun.

There were various fees related to the determination of who this money belonged to. This, combined with various agriculture and state taxes reduced my original payout to around 22.00 and some change.

...it gets better.

Once that money was transferred to a check and mailed out to me, it accrued some other random back fees from the bank that had been storing it for half a century. In the same envelope I received a cashier's check for the 22.00, and I also received an invoice of sorts from the bank so they could collect on the remaining fees that were left out of the original dogpile.

That amount was 30.00

So, that's the story of how I inherited -$8.00 from my dead grandmother.

Three hundred giant inflatable dota winged donkey courier balloons with 3-foot wingspans, because they were 90% off and came with item codes that I sold for four times what I paid

these things


but then I had 300 giant inflatable winged donkey balloons taking up space. trying to sell them has been an inexorably slow process, but it's happening, I'm down to like 80! one guy bought 30 of them for 12 bucks each. when asked why, he straight up told me he was going to modify them into fuckdolls for bronies then sell them for $150 each lol

I paid for mIRC like 12 years ago after using it for years because I was tired of looking at that guy’s face when it started up. I still use IRC but I don’t use mIRC or Windows anymore.
