This morning, at around 7:15 in the morning, sitting on the porch with Nikki, who has to go help at a family yard sale.
My stomach grumbled.
"Hey," I mumbled to a carefully eyed tumbler full of Canada Dry, "Buy me a sausage McMuffin, and I'm in."
15 minutes later, I'm asking her parents how much they want for a mini-fridge. Her mom says I can have it. Nikki throws a fit about how sales are meant to get rid of stuff, not acquire it. Her dad asks if we're married, I point out (as an ex once trained me to do) "We're not dating, you don't get to do that!"
Fortunately, it's impossible for her to stay angry with me for more than 5 seconds, unless she hasn't had coffee yet.
Anyway, we set up at her twin's house. The next door neighbors have a blanket out with stuff on it, and I wander over.
And I strike gold.
"How much do you want for that?" I ask, pointing excitedly at a Thundercats T-shirt.
"Uhrm... 50 cents."
"Nikki, can I have 50 cents?" The girl laughed and told me I could have it for free. I thanked her.
10 minutes later, the cycle repeated itself, this time I actually got the money to fork over, in exchange for a Poseable Ryu Action Figure(placed in a foggy fountain for the picturetaking. Dramatic effect and all that).
So, to sum up, free minifridge. Free t-shirt. 50 cent Ryu Action Figure.
I am overwhelmed, today, by 1337ness.
Oh, god.
-Alex
