that's love

Anyone know Spanish? I wish I'd really learned. Is it too late? Oh well, I'll just go look at your striped transparent for awhile.

Oh yeah! The Bulgarian curiosities! How could I forget.

I <3 Bob. Any other good hoaxes for Mike? Hmmm ... we had those Akro boxes recently. And there are the Tennessee/Atlanta ceramic marbles. Oh, and that eagle bennington which was a pretty cool item ... except that it was presented as old. Can you think of any others?

What are the sizes. Is the bigger one particularly large or the smaller particularly small. I've only remember seeing them in the 3/4" or so size range indicated on Pete's page.

Oh hush! *sticks out tongue at Mike*

The size sure makes a difference on those, Dave. Definitely see the case for Euro.

Wow @ the underwater! An eye-opener.

Halloween is a new name for me. I like it!

What does ICSA stand for?

Bump. Two hours left. I don't know what good prices for micas are but right now it looks like this might be one.

Cómo se dice "neato" en Español?

Oh yeah, candy cigarettes were also an option at the time. Wintergreen flavor?

I finally made it. Took forever. Well past dark. I cried a lot. When I was 9, I had already lived in 14 places. And I kept moving often after that. I never really figured out where I was. If I did actually get the candy, possibly tart n' tinies. Good chance some of those little plastic fruits with powder inside. Maybe wax soda bottles. Maybe sugar babies. Those were some of my favorites at the time. But now that I think about it a little more I probably didn't get to have any of the candy. Might not have made it as far as actually paying for it before I was busted.

Spectacular! That's a Realer, right? Astounding! Amazing!

When I was nine, I rode my bike and kept riding and found a 7-11. Bought some candy. And in walked my mother. She was soooooo mad. My punishment was that I had to ride back home. And I got lost. I was terrified. I have no sense of direction.

Gotta love Google. I wanted to see this exact bird, so I Googled for cute yelling bird and there it was.
