When I was leaving the comedy club tonight I saw a boy carrying a very large, fake banana with a paper hat that said 'This is not a sex toy'. Okay, is the response that many would have to this. One of my friends was onstage tonight, sat near me in the back, the Ohio State grad and former stockbroker. He did a joke I liked about internet porn and trying to use department store catalogs as porn.
I am still going through the buttons. it meant throwing out the ones that were broken, duplicates, or both. This total was just over a hundred. I now have a Ziploc bag full of those that really interest me, I counted them and the total is 85. Those are ones I will keep myself or sell or give to friends. There are three that I have already put in my bag for work already earmarked for this purpose. One of them said 'TCF Viking Club', I think I will give it to a Vikings fan in my office. Another is about tours in Japan, I asked a colleague about another colleague now in another office in the Twin Cities. I was told IM's was best but I like email. Wanted to wait on contacting until I had it with me so I could describe it well. Would still need to know how to mail it, as I don't know if an inter-departmental envelope is a good idea. The third spoke of Black History Month, I think I will donate this one to a school. But it still means getting in contact with the correct official about it.
Notables of those I am keeping in the Ziploc bag include a green 'ERA YES' (Equal Rights Amendment) button, along with a 'John Anderson for President' campaign button. He was the third party candidate in 1980. It reminds me of a novelty song about 'Who shot J.R.?'- the cliffhanger on the TV show 'Dallas'. It had a Jimmy Carter impersonator saying 'John Anderson or Ronald Reagan did it'. I have checked E-bay about the current listings for some of these.
Many of those that were duplicates are from Robbinsdale, a town I have not been to yet. Hard to say what I will do about some of them. And I'm still not sure yet how many I have left. But based on what I have seen so far, I would expect it to be over 200. Some are still in a box and not in a bag. A second bag has all of those that appear to be from Robbinsdale, including mention of school board elections in district 281- and the 'Whiz Bang Festival'.
