Dear readers: After 13 years, I'm closing The Obscure Store
Wonder what the going rate on the black market is for beanie babies? I'm going to go velcro some inside a trench coat and sell them in an alley.
All joking aside, beanie babies were f*cking stupid when they were all the rage back in the 90's. Please tell me they are not a bid deal, again.

Wow, here's a case of watching The Sopranos too many times. Look, mob nerds.

Bubba's new little buddies. That peach fuzz on the one punk's chin will get him a new boyfriend for sure.

They had a perfectly lucrative burglary business going on and blew it because they decided to upgrade to robbery. Wannabes.

Beanie Babies themselves aren't stupid--it's the people who bought them (and paid high dollar for them)as an investment opportunity who are stupid.
I think they're pretty cute myself. I had a lot of fun in high school because there was this girl who collected them and was anal about it. My friends and I had a "beanie baby toss" game going on and she flipped out because we had ripped the tags off of them and were getting dirt on them. I loved bugging her.

Inmate #1: Cool! Whuh-juh git?
Scott N: Some Beanie Babies and some AA batt'ries.
(Sound of hysterical laughter followed sounds of Scott N. being beaten up)

The Beanie Baby speculative bubble popped back in 1999.
File this one under "unclear on the concept."

Green criminals! How thoughtful of them to ride their bicycles!
DUH.

Sterilization is necessary for all involved.

A 18-year old is not a man. A legal adult, but not a man.

The "reporter" who wrote this is obviously illiterate and shouldn't be writing news stories... Maybe some artistic and/or creative literature for the Atlantic Monthly would be more appropriate for this kind of gobbledygook which might pass off as something else then coherent prose...

jac is obviously a white-knuckled AP Stylebook guru.
Dude, lighten up.
