    Awesome News!

    So I went out with my wife last night to get pizza for dinner, see. And, since we have 3 kids, we have the 5-5-5 deal from Dominos, which usually gets us full (in addition to some breadsticks).

    They were a bit backed up, and we got a wait time of twenty minutes - so we opted to go across the street to Goodwill, hit the books and see if we could find anything worth reading.

    MOTHER FUCKER, am I glad I did!!!

    Check this out - MINT dustjacket, MINT binding, MINT pages - TRUE 1st Edition 1965 hardcover copy of Frank Herbert's "DUNE"!!!!!! Like it's never even beeen fucking OPENED to be read!!!!!!!!!

    FUCKING BANK!!!!!!!!!!

    All for $1.99!!!!!!!!

    Look at this!!!

      I should sell this on eBay, like, right fucking now. In addition to my $2,000,000.00 I'm getting from that dude in Africa, I'm going to be sitting rather pretty in the near future...

      Taking it out for appraisal at a rare book collectors this morning.

                It's in the Sheep Pen, titled under "I'M GOING TO BE RICH!!!".

                Don't worry, it's completely legit and honest

                  LMMFAO, I hope so. i wouldn't want to see you get taken to the cleaners as so many do in scams.

                  I didn't really understand what a problem scamming really was until i went to that scam baiters website, lol.

                  Now there is a host of people i wouldn't have trouble executing on the spot.

                            I guarantee you this, had I sold it, I'd have gone in a week later and seen it for sale for at least $600...at LEAST...

                            I don't know, does the helmet make me look stupid?
