Basic Fun: Computer Games, Puzzles, and Problems Children Can Write by Susan Drake Lipscomb and Margaret Ann Zuanich 176 pages, softcover, 1982, so-so condition. "This easy-to-follow guide can serve as an introduction to any computer which uses the BASIC programming language" The Camera Never Blinks by Dan Rather with Mickey Herskowitz 362 pages, softcover, 1977, OK condition. Dan Rather needed a ghost writer to write his autobiography. Christian Boy's Problems by Bertrand Williams 78 pages, hardcover, 1943, OK condition. "I pledge upon my honor that I shall treat my body as God's temple ... " It's Happening: A Portrait of the Youth Scene Today by J.L. Simmons and Barry Winograd 174 pages, softcover, 1966, so-so condition. "LSD and marijuana, Bob Dylan and the Stones, a freer kind of sex, anti-Vietnam sentiments, and the proliferation of protest, are shown as only symptoms of deeper-running shifts in the American ethos." Prayers to Pray Wherever You Are by Jeanette Struchen 64 pages, hardcover, 1969, OK condition. "The author has made a hobby of writing prayers about daily life." Rambo 3 by David Morrell, based on a screenplay by Sylvester Stallone and Sheldon Lettich 244 pages, softcover, 1988, OK condition. "John Rambo. The most dangerous man alive. His country has called him once again ... " The Unfolding Drama of The Bible by Bernhard W. Anderson 124 pages, softcover, 1957, OK condition. "Where we fit in God's plans ... eight studies introducing the Bible as a whole." Women in Baptist Life by Leon McBeth 190 pages, hardcover, 1979, OK condition. "Should women take leadership roles in the church? Are they to do God's work alongside men or subordinate to them?" We're not particularly neat people, but with your encouragement we'll tidy up the apartment and send a piece of our clutter to you. The price includes postage (within USA). The only catch is, we won't tell you what junk you're getting It might be a broom that no longer sweeps clean, a Christian-themed gift we received from a Christian-themed relative, or a T-shirt too stained to wear in public. We can't guarantee it'll be what you expect or what you want, and we can't guarantee you'll like it, but we guarantee it'll work (if it's electronic or mechanical) and we guarantee it's junk to us. As David Letterman says, there isn't a man, women or child who doesn't enjoy a refreshing beverage. Well, we'll mail you a refreshing beverage mix (just add water, and/or other fluids) for a mere five dollars. We'll choose the mix you receive My husband Harry says I make a 'mean' tunafish sandwich. The secret is using just a few crumbs of cheap generic tunafish and a thin layer of imitation Miracle Whip, plus your choice of either yellow mustard or store-brand thousand island, on the cheapest not-so-fresh white bread we could find last weekend. If you'd like a delicious tunafish sandwich, we suggest you make one yourself or visit a deli. If you'd like a lousy and probably squished-in-transit tunafish sandwich, made by me and delivered by the US Postal Disservice, I'll make one for ya, stick it in a plastic baggie, and mail it for just $5. Price includes postage (within USA) and lots of handling! Disclaimer: Allow 7-10 days for delivery. Sandwich is borderline edible when I make it, but probably not be edible upon arrival. [For entertainment purposes only.] International shipping: Tragically, heavy items cost more to mail, especially internationally. So on international orders we figure out what the postage will cost, and ask the customer to pay that extra expense. Sorry. Your comments are invited, at unknownnews at myway.com: Ideas for affordable fundraisers? Contributions of your own unusualia? Unusual items we can get cheap? We do rather desperately need to raise some funds, being thousands of dollars in debt, dirt poor, underemployed, uninsured, pestered by creditors, hounded by hospital bills, pondering bankruptcy, and all that jazz. If you're paying or making a donation by mail, please make checks payable to Stephanie Webb (not Unknown News) and send payment to this address. Your support keeps this website alive. |
