The DUde smokes like a chimney.

That's bad news.

He's been under doctor's orders the past few years to drop about 40 pounds.

An old tub of guts stuffed into a too small pink robe, flicking ashes into a dingy old theatre lobby ash tray. Class act, the Dude.

Well, the fecund grasswire primitive showed up to support the old dude:

12. for the record here....

...because Stinky is a knowledgeable collector and has a good eye...

I have two chairs that are worth about $1000 each. Danish modern, with original finish and original upholstered cushions. I paid $5 for each of them about ten years ago. Found them in a thrift shop. I also have a Danish modern teak end table probably worth four or five hundred. I got that one in the free pile at a sidewalk sale.

That's how it goes for those who spend the footwork and research to know a good deal when we see it. It's the American way and has been for decades until Republicans decided that money trumped all else and shoved corporate greed in our faces.

If you want to hang out over in the Antiques Collectibles topic, you'll find lots of tips on how to find potential treasures on a budget.

My best wishes to you.

Well, after noticing the fecund grasswire primitive's inventory of her valuables, I thought I'd check my own.

I couldn't find a damned thing around here, excepting an old book missing a few pages--I'd originally found it in a Ukrainian outhouse--Ð˜ÑÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ð¸Ñ Ñ€ÑƒÑÑÐºÐ¾Ð¹ Ñ€ÐµÐ²Ð¾Ð»ÑŽÑ†Ð¸Ð¸ which in my deciphering translates as "History of the Russian Revolution."

The author's "Lev Davidovich Bronshtein," whoever that was, and he autographed it as a gift to "Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili," in 1927. He must've used a socialist-made pen, though, given that there's a couple of ink blotches from when he shook the pen.

I doubt it's worth anything, though.

Poor, addled grasswire, who squatted for two years in a former friend's bonus room, has a pair of thousand-dollar chairs, reliably appraised by poor, addled grasswire herself.

They'e among the junk she hauls around in her little red wagon, from the "free pile" of stuff people put out by the sidewalk on trash pickup day.

That reminds me of the comics-book business, back during the late 1980s, early 1990s.

I had a nephew who collected comics-books, and he used to point out with pride that this one had a "book value" of $100, that one had a "book value" of $250, the one over there had a "book value" of $500, and so on.

There were, I dunno, maybe a couple hundred comics-books there.

He sold the whole box of them at a garage sale for fifty cents.

Pretty clever, coach.

I'm not a trained historian, but I didn't even need the google.

And he was suppose to stay away from stressful activity. He still bitches on the DUmp. That's why I cast doubt that he had a heart attack several years ago.

Looks like me and "the dude" have something in common if that's a Lhasa. We own 4, the mother, father, and two from the last litter. I've delivered 9 total. Many of you were here during the process.

I'm starting to wonder, given some clues the old dude's dropped off in his comments on Skins's island, if there might not be some, uh, disquiet in the old dude's household, which of course includes only himself and his wife.

(He's got a maid [self-admitted] and probably some gardeners and lawn people on his payroll given the size of his spread, but those are day-time only.)

I'm beginning to suspect that the old dude's wife is liking it less and less, that he's hanging around with the primitives. They used to do it together, and had a rollicking good time, but she doesn't seem so enthusiastic about it any more, and the old dude's appearances have been somewhat more sporadic than they once were.

I'll bet she's turning the screws on him to recede away from Skins's island; it's obvious she doesn't like him being there. Time will tell.

Having worked for people with real money, I suspect that the smelly dude is lying like one of his rugs. People with the kind of money to live in such nice places would have covenants that say what you havevin and around your home. Anyone living with cheap crape like stinkbait is claiming to have would find themselves excluded from any contact from the neighbors and likely sued for breaking the convenant.

10. Just for the record for you and your posse . . . . .

No need to get your bathrobe knotted up in your mangina, Captain Kitty Litter. If you have nice shit and want to flaunt it in front of the prols at the DUmp, do it. Hey, it's not easy having to justify living in a house that could shelter so many poor but, by God, you've earned the right to lay on your ass in splendor while so many lazy democrats (who refuse to do better for themselves) go without and you should tell them so.

Be a man, stanky, and be proud to be the 1%!

9. Just beautiful home furnishings.

Walked through a very expensive furniture store yesterday. Some of the stuff I saw, priced way beyond a normal person's ability is located in your picture. Like that lamp, and piano, and wall painting. In that first picture, the chair you have ( very nice ), is priced (if the same chair), at or near 1500. The throw rugs in the store, similar to yours go for 500-1500. For the one chair that is out of most people's budget, if merely a chair. The ashtray on the other hand probably goes for under a hundred. Not begrudging you the digs, and probably was not a good comment to make.

This is why Democrats suck ass. No conservative is ashamed of what he/she has or who he/she is. We don't have to constantly prove ourselves to retain our "conservative credentials" like these fools. Is there any wonder why every damn psychological study and poll out there shows conservatives to be happier than those moonbats? If someone would have responded to me like that I'd had gone the **** off. Seeing as how it's The Dude, oh f'n well. You made your bed, "Dude", lay in it. You bitch at the "1%" and then turn around and post pics of your home on a site full of mental reject Socialists jealous of everything.

..and I couldn't imagine what the house smells like if that ash tray is in use. I'm a smoker, but I don't understand how anyone can smoke in the house, and I realize some CC'ers probably do it.

I agree, they are always excusing why they have something or why they shop at wal-mart, etc. I couldn't live the way they do, constantly apologizing for the way they have or where they shop. It would suck to be a DUmmie.

That should read "what". I can't even blame that on my auto correct.

Up until the past 15 years or so, very few people would have ever thought of not smoking inside their homes.

Until about the same period of time, I don't recall ever hearing of anyone objecting.

It was just a normal activity for a very large percentage of adults.

When I was in college in the 60s, nearly half the students would be smoking in class during lectures, and large lecture halls had ashtrays on the backs of seats. I don't recall the practice ever being questioned.

Stinky may have gotten mad at Broderick for his rudeness, but it's nothing more than what his president is incubating. Kill and eat the rich, even if he's only $5 richer than you! What they have they stole from you!! It's not fair we all can't have cushy $85K w/benefits jobs!!!

I don't know how they can stand to hang around each other on the internet every day. You can't post a pic without getting the third degree? What happened to basic manners? In the old school, you're not even supposed to notice one's things.

I can't help but notice gross things though, like his nasty ashtray.
