Hello Everyone,

Cool one!

The only one that is more outlandish is the boomerang, which is somehow always priced really crazy.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I have one if these in Turquoise, with a big crack in the top. I bought it that way 40 years ago for $2. It looks great on a high shelf!
