I like how you casually mention the Banksy at the end....

Annnnd I'm jealous @dadjeans

I've never had Grade B Maple Syrup which is supposed to be the ****

You mean "The syrup formerly known as grade B". Better for you than grade A (more antioxidants) Leave it to Canada to get it backwards. Within the last year or so they changed them all to grade A. Dark Robust is the one you want. I figure they changed it because the average grocery wouldn’t want to carry anything other than grade A, making the good stuff hard to sell. We've always had to order it online, until recently.

Maple syrup is serious business here but more so in Quebec. Google Quebec's Maple Syrup Federation. They really run things *their way* to the point of trying to ruin other small producers that don't bend the knee to them.

Ok, where's more thrift shots?

Finally.

I paid up for the pair, but they're for me so I justified the purchase. It was actually on auction, and there were two of us for the receiver, and way too many for the amp. After the auction, someone who dropped out blurted out that I paid too much, said it was onlly like a couple hundred more on the bay for a tested one.
So I had thought I done my research and said one sold for about 600 more and i said so. Then a few minutes later he shoves his phone in my face and says see you paid too much. Something about his tone really set me off and I did the baboon thing and stood up, pushed him back and called him out, and told him to settle this outside. Paraphrasing, but I do remember calling him a little ***** ala Jessee Pinkman. I dont know what took hold of me, maybe it was him wearing golf branded clothes including a tucked in polo shirt that was two sizes too small for his chubby ass. Anyways, so he wouldn't go outside, and a fairly big guy got in between us and told me to sit down. I subsequently bid him up on everything I saw him bid on, which wasn't as much as I would have wanted. At the end of the auction, I was still on tilt, and I started up again, told him I'd meet him outside, and go out to wait. A couple people leaving told me congrats on winning the auction, and the guy was being a jerk, the guy doesn't come out, but the guy running the auction comes out said he's asking him to call the cops. Turns out I was right about him being a little *****. Last thing my thrift shopping addicted self wants to happen is to be banned from one of the best spots in town so I left. Now I'm calming myself down posting this before I go back to pick up my new receiver and amp. So, how has your Saturday been going?

Vigano does make really nice stuff. Wish they were better known.

Was there any carts kicked though ?

 

[H.E. Pennypacke]

Apparently brand new (no box, no bag, but definitely unworn outside) Di Bianco Gallo loafers. Ebay, about $110 shipped. "Buy It Now," not an auction. I'm quite happy with them, even if I'm admittedly a bigger fan of the Scarpe and Premium lines.
