Useless crap wonderland

...AKA The Dollar Store.

Ahhh what a mecca of silly junk! That's not to say there aren't some neat and even useful things there (picked up a nice candle-holder for $3.99) but the vast majority of those stores deal in junk. Junk I felt compelled to photograph some of...

First, some weird baby-playing-with-his-wang statues:

And here's a notepad and pen set, obviously made for the "working girl"... Look! It even says "Hussy" on it!



And here we have two examples of why the Japanese shouldn't write in English without spell/grammar checkers:
(you have to click 'em yourserf for large size to thrill you like do.)



And finally, a weird bobbing-head-dog-air-freshener for your car. And quite possibly the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Not even a Mr-T gold chain could make this thing cool.



And there you go folks, just a taste of some of the crap you'll find at the dollar store! I swear, that place is magic. Okay, maybe it's not magic. But it would take magic to convince your kids that any toy bought there was not crap or worth a better fate than a test-pilot for the uber-neat rocket kit any decent parent would buy their kid. So quit reading this and go to a real store ya cheap bastard!!! .....Unless useless crap is your bag baby, and in that case, this is your wonderland.
