How about $.50 for those MadLibs?
Last week was my neighborhood's annual garage sale. Around 25 houses participated this year, and we drew quite a large crowd. This is why I've been away from the blogs a bit over the past week. I was helping to prepare and price our stuff the first few days, then I was haggling with senior citizens for the last few. It's been a busy week indeed.
As a treat for those readers who have stuck around, here's the next edition of omarphillips.net Mad Libs, based on a true story. Enjoy!

I'm just glad it wasn't a *real* Geddy Lee CD going for that price. I'd have cried.
Toni said:
That was hilarious! I hadn't done that before!
Lia said:
Garage sales can be so much fun. I wish I had a garage.

I had forgotten just how mad Omar's libs really were... However, the day I start bringing over 12 grand to a garage sale is precisely the day I want my loved ones to have me committed.

RaJ - I think we sold all of our Geddy Lee CDs last year.
Toni - Thanks!
Lia - Day one was fun. Day two was ok. Day three was barely tolerable.
Jon - My libs are MAD mad. And 12 grand may have been helpful at the guy's house two doors down, as he was selling his almost new John Deere riding mower and a $700 pressure washer. Who sells an item for $700 at a garage sale?!
Jaz - She wasn't in NY last weekend, was she?
cadiz - I did sneak some items out of my parents' house for the sale, I'm waiting to see how long before they notice.
NCS - You can't leave us hanging like that! How much was the signed copy of RoboCop's autobiography?

Darn that old man and his darned rhinoceros figurines. And what a potty mouth, shouting "holy leprechaun's undershorts" in your yard.
Like I said, there goes the neighbourhood.
Rhonda said:
"Do you have any wombat figurines?" he asked.
"How about anything having to do with toes?"
I am a total weirdo.

"How about anything having to do with can openers?"
I had to stifle laughter as I shook my head no. He looked at me gingerly, then went back to looking around. His eyes lit up as he picked up our signed copy of the autobiography of Enrique Iglesias. "Holy Bajoley!! How much for this?!" he asked.
what i would give for a signed copy of Enrique Iglesias' autobiography...
te quiero, Enrique!
