About 10 years ago I visited a country gift shop in Vermont and one of the items this store carried were spanking paddles designed to be used on children. These were mostly light paddles which were displayed with household convenience items. Some had funny expresions written on them, such as, “For boys that tease and girls that taddle theres nothing as handy as mom-mom’s paddle”. Others had the slogan, “attudite adjuster” printed across it.
Another had a funny slogan, this other store was located in a wooded area,” Perfect for the cruel little bare behind”, and had a picture of a bear.(This was many years ago), and yet another had one that had spanking instructions on it. It said amoung other things, “only to be used over cloths”.

Also today, August 8 has been declared consensual spanking day. I hope you have enjoed it.

Pixie I am also glad that your health has improved greatly since your hospital stay and it is a pleasure to see you still very active in the scene.

Its good to know that a brat can fly.

Take-Care Pixie and I hope to see you at an event soon.

pixieliscios, dont worry about the tag. actually the tag is the clue. i believe it was a price tag only, however the clue is, they had to bind it on, since the sticker wont stick. the wood is too greasy from timelss application to fear-sweaty skin.

antique dealers are in business to sell, not question or pass judgement!!!

here’s the protocall;

you: what is that wooden thing there???? may i see it??

she: of course. [now if she knows what it is she'll tell you]

you: [after looking at it and glancing at the price tag] ohhh….$15.00 ….well i’ve got three other pieces i’m buying that’s a little over my budget.

she: oh… i can do a little better…how about $10.00.

now it’s up to you.

dealers tend to want badly to sell things that have hung around collecting dust and taking up shelf space. they buy estates, bunches of stuff from people cleaning out attics and they sell the prime pieces quickly. the rest, they do what they can.

if you’re nice you’d be amazed at the bargians.

ex:

when i moved down here i had no flatware. i bought some at walmart[garbage].

i went to an antique store and asked the owner if she had any old g.i. flatware. she said you mean with usn or usa stamped on them? i said i don’t collect, i want them for my use so that’s not important. ohh …i have some silver plated ware that just came in, look at this box. i picked out 20 pieces of prime functional stuff. . lets see ….oh you’ve got 20 pieces??? give me $1.50.

i paid 5 times that at walmart for crap.

bestcase:

i asked my boon budy to save any pulp magazines he got to give me 1st refusal.

i walked in one day to find a pile of pulps on the counter. ohhh….pulps for me???? he said they just came in..i was going to call you, take a look….there’s a good one in there.

all garbage except one at the bottom of the pile with the intackt spine reading wierd tales vol. 1 no. 1. i took a very quick look at it and said what do you want for the pile???? $20.00…..sold!!!

i got it home and lo and behold it was real. i called the bookie and said i just bought wt vol. 1 # 1 in great shape. he offered me $400.00 sight unseen. i turned him down and brought it to don grant who looked at it for 15 min. and offered me $1000.00 plus $1500 in grant books at at %60 discount. i would have done that but he said it was going to italy and i thot this should remain in america. steve king turned me down because he had one and wasn’t interested in trading up for condition.

i took it to lunacon where sam moscowitcz and art saha were present and gave it to art’s daughter hiedy saying give this to you’re father and ask him if he’s impressed. she dropped it onto his lap and said daddy are you impressed with this? art was nonplussed. he said yess!!! where did you get it. oh ..don gave it to me.

after the party, i left and jack chalker came behind me and putting his arm over my shoulder said “you don’t want to sell this, do you lad”. i allowed i didn’t. he then said ” if in the fullness of time you have to sell it ASK $3,000 FOR IT, AND IF THE S.O.B. WHO’S LOOKING AT IT WANTS A BETTER COPY FOR HIS $3,000,….TELL HIM NOT TO HOLD HIS EFFING BREATH!!!!!”

anyone who knew jack knows that’s a true story.

the point is, you’ll be supprised at what you can get if you’re nice. and you are the picture in the pedia next to nice.

why do you think i’d like to talk to you?????

best ddon

When I Was A Kid In Georgia, Infuriated Parents Would Send A Child Outdoors To Choose & Cut His/Her Own Hickory Switch For The Forthcoming Thrashing. It’s Probably Safe To Say That This Odd Crudely-Crafted Weapon Was Cut & Finished In The Student Wood Shop By Some Unfortunate “Habitual Offender” In A “Boarding” School, Or Maybe Even A Summer Camp(?) Under Orders From Some Tyrannical Headmaster* * *
