  1. Whenever I pay someone to prepare my meals, my main concerns are, where I can park my hooptie and whether or not I can wear a tank top to the establishment. The food and service is whatevs.

    -Also, where can I buy a plastic seagull? Like seriously. I am looking for a life sized plastic seagull. I found one on Etsy, but it was an artisanal, handmade, vintage, paper mache jumpoff.

    • Etsy is weird like that, Pecos. Often you think you’ve found something and then there it is being some craftperson’s handiwork. When I go to the Brooklyn Flea, part of it is more of an Etsy row, as opposed to the hardcore junk-dealers, and I always find it sort of embarrassing, because I don’t want to stop, but sometimes the stuff seems nice, or at least well-made… but then you know that the people made these things themselves, mostly by hand, and it’s sweet and nice — but sad nevertheless.

      I like paper mache as much as the next guy, but you can’t beat factory molded plastic. Maybe with a some spraypaint on it, done like shit from someone on an assembly line? You can’t fake that.
