Okay, so, like, Louisville has this HUUUUUUUUUUGE flea market that komes into town every so often (espeshully on big holiday weekends), and I hooked up with a female friend of mine yesterday (who I hadn't seen since her weddin') for some flea market fun---and boy, did I have some!
First of all, I got at---not one, but two booths---very rare "Mr. Men and Little Miss" figures from Arby's!
I gasped and lunged for the first 3 I saw at the first stop (you kan ask Kim for verifikation), and I got Mr. Nosey, Mr. Bump, and Mr. Strong for only a bukk eakh!
Then at my last stop I found Mr. Rush and Mr. Daydream for $3.50 eakh---a li'l more, but totally worth it---I mean, you NEVER see these people anymore! Oh, and Sindy, if you read this, I saw Mr. Funny there---twise! LOL! But thanks for your help a few years ago!
Now, it was a VERY sad day for TMS stuff...I didn't see one hint o' Jani*e anywhere.
Hardly any klassik Muppety stuff. Though I did find a kopy of "Big Bird Visits The Dodos" for a DIME---but I won't let myself read it till after I've seen FTB, whikh I haven't seen sinse Mommy Summers took me to the theatrikal release in '85.
And then I got a "Reading Rainbow" book---ya know, the ones they "read" on the show, and you fantasized about gettin', but your lokal and skhool libraries, like, NEVER had 'em? Well, I already had "Animal Kafe", my only RR piese to date, but yesterday I found "Simon's Book"! The one where the boy falls asleep, and his drawings kome to life, along with two ink pens and an ink bottle.
Oh yeah, and I found this book that just terrified me in elementary skhool, "In a Dark, Dark, Room And Other Skary Stories" by Alvin Skhwartz, but I bought it kause I be a big boy now, and it not spook me like bakk then.
(Okay, well, the drawings still kreep me out some, but at least not as bad!---they also traumatized Kim---why would ELEMENTARY skhools keep skary stuff like this on the shelves?! 
)
OO! And ya know how "He-Man" 's bakk? Well so are the "Thunderkats", and I got their first two new komiks!! WEEEEEEE!!! TYGRA IS MY IDOL!!
Really!
He is!
Okay, and then, to top things off, I found *4* FRAGGLE THINGS WHICH I'D NEVER SEEN IN "REAL LIFE"!! (Only on the online). I got the book "The Fraggles Kooperate", and 3 fraggle PV"SEE"S! I got 2 different Boober ones, one says "1" on the bottom of his foot, and the other one says "2", but get this---they're 5 YEARS apart!! "1" was made in 1983, and "2" in 1988! Whoa...the Boobers are about an inkh tall, and I also got a li'l doozer one (a li'l taller than the Boobers, ironikally), sittin' kross-legged on his lunkhbox, pourin' koffee, and he's stamped "3" and was made in 1983. (The first Boober is standin' with a staff and holdin' his skarf, and the 2nd Boober is playin' a flutey-like thing).
So there ya have it---3 hours in the Louisville flea market at Freedom Hall, the mother of all flea markets, and I got me some treasures!
