They're back...

Remember this?
enter image description here

Yep, it’s the 6’ wall plaque I received from Meh’s Birthday Fuko, and that I sold at a friend’s estate sale.

So it turned out that the lady, who bought it, returned it because the base is broken at the bottom of one of them. (Gee, all it will take to fix it is a little sanding and some stain.) Anyway, my friend has had it in her garage for quite a while. She didn’t have the heart to tell me that the sale had fallen through. Her husband had finally had enough and told her that she had to get rid of it. He said, “They’re making the cars nervous.”

Any suggestions on what I can do with it?

I think I’m cursed.

I guess I could ship them to @looseneck. She was so upset (not really) that I sold them and didn’t send them to her.

OR, maybe I should send them to @lichme? He seems to be the expert on fertility artifacts from the western region of Bubdal https://meh.com/forum/topics/meh-made-me-100-richer#58af3cbd787b36030800bb56.

Maybe he is wanting more children? Heaven knows, I certainly don’t need a fertility artifact here. Nope, nope, nope.

I think this a sign that they’re meant to live with you. Wasn’t there a horror movie like that?

Maybe this one.

If they have necklaces whatever you do don’t take them off.

- @sammydog01 No necklaces, but this kind of reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode with the Talking Tina doll. “My name is Talky Tina and I love you.” And then the doll ends up being a murderer.
  
  Last time it tried to trip me and I almost broke my toe. I’m not going to trust it this time. I’m sending it off to my mother’s house.

- @sammydog01 Yeah, I know what you are saying, but the Talky Tina looked so innocent and was so deadly. That’s what made it so scary. Your chain wielding, uh, thing is what nightmares are made of.

- @sammydog01 That episode made me sleep with the lights on and leap onto my bed from the doorway when I was a kid.
  (The episode with the dwarf-like creatures and the lady with the flashbulb camera was pretty unsettling too.)

You could send them to @mikibel to keep her garden fertile before her hunney plows and plants it.

If no one wants them, I think @lichme should be forced to take them.

Also I think your super-purple kindle is a much stronger voodoo influence than they are, and if you show them the kindle with cover on, that should keep them in line and behaving themselves when they are in your vicinity.

- @f00l So, I should hang the Kindle around my neck for good luck? I’d probably end up doing an Isadora Duncan and some way, some how, kill myself. Nope, not gonna tempt fate.

  No, not wear the Kindle. Just wave all that purple around. in their general presence.
  
  Then they will know. The purple is monitoring them.
  
  I think they will behave after that.

You can return things to a yard sale? I always bought and sold with the belief everything was sold “as is where is”. Caveat emptor.

I will take them - might give me good luck in finding a house to buy. No one wants to sell theirs to me. Maybe if I rub the fertility gods the right way, a house will fall into my lap. How much do you want?

- @looseneck Nah, I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy. Besides, shipping would be a real “killer”.

Is there an auction house that you can take them to? I mean, if they were such a hot ticket item at the garage sale, maybe you’ll have even more luck at an auction.

Craigslist sounds like a great idea. Just meet the buyer at a neutral location.

To comply with my wife’s wishes, I ended up donating my wonderful 5’ tall phallic drum to Goodwill. The worker that took it was still staring at it as I sped away. I didn’t look back.

I hope the money they got from selling the treasure was able to feed dozens of children.
