holy shit - for clay - Bill - 06-20-2005

Another little story -

Bill was on his way home last friday when I saw a garage sale sign and decided to go check it out. There wasn't shit there that I'd bee interested in except for an old Optimus Prime Transformer. I'm not into collecting toys but I figured I'd buy the fucker and take home to my kids to check out cause I had a shitload of them when I was a kid....So Mrs Bill makes fun of me for buying a 20 year old toy that's still in it's original box. Till she gets the bright idea to look the thing up on ebay.....

nice find...don't sell it yet, and don't take it out of the packaging. you can make some dough off of it eventually.
