::SHORTER THAN ANY SIGUR RÓS SONG::

Yesterday, I decided to put a desk, a lamp, and a bookshelf out on the curb with "free" signs on them (y'know, as part of my ongoing AMCOP affiliation). Austin and I toted them out, and as I headed back indoors, I said, "Okay, it's 5:39. When'll they be gone by?" We then decided to take his bookshelves out, too, and I went to work making the sign. Four minutes later, we headed to the curb with the shelves, and my stuff was already gone.

In four minutes!

They'd gone, strangely enough, to one of our upstairs neighbors, who was moving and needed furniture. He took Austin's shelves and offered us some cash; we refused.

It's not what the Austin Marshall Community Outreach Program is about, yo.

That's nothing, girl.

Back in 2000, my parents put two not-so-great wingback chairs out in front of their home in North Dallas and, before they got back to their front door, two different ladies stopped to pick them up.
One was a soccer mom in a Mercedes and the other was an older lady in a Caddy. THEY GOT INTO A FIGHT OVER THE CHAIRS! My parents walked into the house and watched them duke it out from the dining room window. Hair was pulled and everything. I don't remember who won, though. ;)
