There is nothing more pathetic than a than a garage sale in suburbia. There are so many other alternatives: EBay, Pawn Shop, Swap Meet, Thrift Store, Goodwill, Tax Write-offs... the list goes on and on. None of those alternatives involve getting up at the ass-crack of dawn (maybe the swapmeet) and sitting outside of your house, like a shmuck, selling shit for pennies on the dollar.
Of course, none of this was obvious to my parental units, of course. What was even more pleasing to me is that I had to help them clean out the attic, the garage, their closet, my old closet, blah blah blah... You know what... I'm not going to keep writing this crap, because I doubt any of you want to read it. It's boring. I wouldn't care either.
I do, of course, love my parents and realize that it is my obligation (no matter how lame garage sales are) to help them out. I figure if they wiped my ass for the first few years of my life, they deserve my loyalty.
Garage sales are still lame...

I can think of something more pathetic then a garage sale in suburbia. I garage sale in the middle of Nebraska. Imagine going through the same routines when YOU HAVE NO NEIGHBORS!!!!!! I saw that once when I was driving across the country. I didn't stop because it creeped me out to no end.
