"Kentucky nazi gimps are not neato." ~ That Damn Jim Guy

My weekend was fun. While we were visiting my mom&sis-in-law there were some storms in the area. The television weather lady interrupted my SNL rerun to tell me that there was tornadic activity between the cities of Skeeterville and Hicks Crossing. I'm so not kidding. Gotta love Texas.

Flashback to my trip:

While I was in Virginia I visited a grungy little indoor flea market. I wasn't expecting to find anything, but (hark!) in the first booth I entered I found a piece of Alice in Chains memorabilia. I *never* find AiC promo stuff. Ever. So there I was, in the place where John Denver 8-tracks go to die, less than 48 hours after Layne Staley's body was found, holding in my hot (not-so-little-as-previously-discussed) hands... the Alice in Chains Jar of Flies. I'd never even seen the thing before. It's a mason jar filled with plastic flies. It's got flies glued to the sides and the lid and lying upside down at the bottom. On the front it says "Alice in Chains jar of flies." I thought for certain that it would be at least $40, but then again it WAS sitting next to a Dale Earnhardt Coke can. I checked the price. $13. $13!!! I *ran* to the register with it. Woo! Out of curiosity I checked to see what this thing was going for on ebay: $102.50. Score! Not that I'm planning on selling it or anything. I like to hoard things. Damn right.
