i think it straddles the line between trashy and...
silly me, i forgot to even give mention or supreme thanks to those killer pistols made of ebony i found at… lloyd center with mother last month. i guess they are from Bali, and the worker/artist? is paid such a fair wage i felt like a chump handing over that much cash. that’s the story anyway. and while its not mechanical, there is a tiny ping of copper in the barrel.

Trophies
As I was walking home on Geary, I saw something shiny peering out of the bus-stop trash.
After a bit of wood-to-screw bolt maneuvering, I pried the beautiful baseball figurines off their bases, ditched the labels, and brought home some sweet trophies that will make even more delectable wearables. After a bit of soapy sanitation, of course.
