For once they were to my favor(why the hell do we receive 4 Lane Bryant catalogs, all in my name!?!?)New Archie Mcphee, Mo Hotta Mo Betta, Vintage Vending, Big & Tall, and the new After 5. Whoo-Hoo! I left the After 5 for last, and drooled over several new shakers I MUST have, and a Suh-weeet Tiki Lounge shirt I wished came in Big & Tall, when I came to the end and looked at the back cover. A Suffering Bastard Shot Glass Checkers Set!!! Thats right, 12 grotto green, 12 coconut brown 2 oz. glasses, paper umbrella for kinging, all on top of a hand painted mahogany board with rattan trim and bamboo feet! All yours for only $129.95. What a time to be unemployed. D'oh!
