Rare, Collectible, & Otherwise

Boxers, in brief.

Some of them are just typos, no doubt someone creating a Craigslist ad on their small-button smart-phone. Others… I’m not sure exactly what to think.

I like to look over the listings just in case there is someone offering something of tremendous value for very little money. It hasn’t happened yet, but I have found a couple of items that I wound up owning.

Not going for Chester Drawers though. I should have clicked on the link to read the description, but it was more fun to simply wonder if some fellow named Chester was selling off his underwear or – instead – it was a couple of drawers full of chesters. You can never keep enough chesters around the house.

There is a slim possibility that the seller meant to offer a “chest of drawers,” which Chester might have kept his underwear in.

Sunday evening’s listings featured another classic, but when I went back to review it this morning it had disappeared. Hopefully a quick sale ended the need for the ad. I’m fairly certain there are no Craigslist editors out there.

Observations.

An aspiring writer told me he never reads books and I immediately imagined my ten year old at the wheel of my car, navigating the one-way streets downtown. His destination will quickly be forgotten in avoiding pedestrians and blind alleys.

Observations, Cont’d.

In today’s army of self-publishing, each recruit is supplied with a rusty penknife and is immediately declared a general. Few recognize their lack of subordinates and fewer still seek intelligence regarding the front.
