HOW TO MARKET STRAWS

I found this box back in college while working at the campus hamburger joint. It's still too hilarious to throw away...

I remember being in the Eagle's Nest before I really knew you and Jamey and I remember you guys remarking about the "For Pure Pleasure" on the straw box, I don't know if that was the moment you discovered it, but I've always looked for that box ever since. City Bagel (RIP) used those straws.

I also remember hearing you go back and forth with your impressions of Arnold Schwarzeneggar saying various cliches like, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity."

That is really funny!

I have to say- the pictures of your place at Christmas (the ones with Mr. Toast) drive me crazy! I LOVE your place! It's exactly like you pictured in your Flip cartoon. Plus I can just see a glimpse of your amazing collection down the hall. Wow. I did have my own aluminum tree in the living room, tho. Plus one in my office!

I just found your site and love it! I can't email you like I'd prefer because my Outlook isn't set-up, so posting here will have to suffice.

I really enjoy all the Halloween stuff... and the vintage stuff... and just everything. It's neat to see so much of it in one place, and the eye-catching design of your sites really is impressive. Keep up the great work!

letseatpaste- "for pure pleasure" seems to have turned into a self fulfilling prophesy considering that a dozen years later a box of straws is still on your list of college memories, and it demands me to scan, post, and share it with the world.
It is purely pleasurable.

travis- I'm happy to hear the photos were enjoyable yet maddening. All part of my plan. hahaha!

matt- thanks for your kind note! I'm glad you found the place and I hope you find time to visit again. I WILL be posting again soon. Anyway, I appreciate the encouragement!
