Oh, Snap
This post first appeared on Regretsy on May 20, 2011.
It never occurred to me to sell my vacation snapshots on Etsy, but I think it’s a fantatic idea. I mean, how many people ever get to see the outside of a Louis Vuitton store? Well, I mean unless they go to the mall or something.
Well, I want in on it. So I’m selling pictures of my vacation!
Unfortunately, I haven’t had time for a real vacation, so these are more “staycation” photos. Still totally worth $19.99, though.
We had to fix this outlet. It works now.
Oh, this was funny. I was in the kitchen and I heard this loud bang, and when I looked in the pantry, the Thai peanut salad dressing had just exploded! LOL
Bronc took this picture off the TV a few weeks ago. It’s about some lady who makes her assistants have sex with each other. Also there’s a parrot in it.
Bronc took this. Sometimes I’ll find pictures of his action figures on my camera.
I saw this at the drug store. It seems like it would make a nice gift.
This doesn’t fit him anymore.
We saw this guy on the freeway. I don’t remember why I wanted to take a picture of him.
CONVO FOR DIFFERENT SIZES

39 minutes into the movie and the devil is still clothed? Next time, take the photo about an hour into the movie and I’ll buy it in wall mural size.

Maybe this is the same market those people who take and post pictures of their latest dump are catering to?

HOLY SHIT April!!!! Why are you “sitting on” a $3,000.00 doggie sweater! List that bitch, quick!
May 20, 2012 at 10:15 pm
No! Don’t list that bitch, list the sweater!
May 20, 2012 at 9:59 am
Your kitchen must smell pretty awesome thanks to the TNT dressing!
May 20, 2012 at 10:10 am
Actually, I reconsidered. Maybe it exploded due to carbon dioxide buildup from anaerobic bacterial respiration. The metabolic byproducts of anaerobes have a tendency to smell like absolute ass and a half… so I guess the kitchen wound up smelling like peanut heaven OR a goatse factory.
May 20, 2012 at 10:22 am
Why is it always just the bad smells you can’t change the size of?
May 20, 2012 at 10:22 am
I smell a great business idea here.
May 20, 2012 at 11:54 am
I thot the smell of ass was one of those items that only come in whole numbers and varieties; including but not limited to:
skanky, freshly warshed, massage oiled, banana, cucumber, birthday cake, ….

And it’s because my dear ol’ mom (and that’s about as nice as I get about her) taught me never to do anything half-assed.
May 20, 2012 at 9:59 am
You don’t remember why you took a pic of the guy on the freeway? Maybe it’s because he’s driving the Jeepers Creepers truck…did the license plate read B EATIN U?
May 20, 2012 at 10:02 am
no barnwood, no sale.

I’m down with Bronc’s picture of Thor. You can so tell he’s just about to pound his hammer on the ground. I’ll have it in 16×20 please!
May 20, 2012 at 4:04 pm
Thor can pound his hammer into my ground anytime, amirite?
May 21, 2012 at 10:46 am
I prefer Loki, then Thor, then both, Mamma Mia!
May 20, 2012 at 10:09 am
I’ll take the exploded Thai peanut sauce photo, but I’d like to actually hire a painter to recreate it with oil on canvas, I’m thinking 10×8 – feet. Go big or go home.
May 20, 2012 at 1:23 pm
DONE.
That’ll be $10,000, please.
May 20, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Wow! I didn’t think Paint-by-Number was still in business. Always loved how they could never get curves correct, always a bit jerky.
Do you take installments? I figure $10 a month should fit my budget nicely. The women in my family tend to live a long time. Just ignore the fact that I’m more than halfway there, ‘k?
May 20, 2012 at 10:15 am
The last one really captures the spirit of the Etsy photo. Reflections are so damned deep, bro.
May 20, 2012 at 10:22 am
I would not advise using the word “can” in a slogan for a toilet accessory product.
May 20, 2012 at 3:26 pm
They’re “America’s #1 name in home care”….what about #2?
May 20, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Did anyone else notice that the seat is on backwards?
May 20, 2012 at 10:23 am
“…any additional questions”?
I got one – Are you shitting me, Pyle?!?
May 20, 2012 at 10:29 am
I don’t see any place for toilet paper in the toilet picture but I do see a big vase full of pointed sticks. This might be the real reason they “couldn’t” before.
May 20, 2012 at 10:32 am
Aside: Etsy did not have a booth at Maker Faire this year. Pity, too– I was hoping to get the ultimate CF4L password reminder…

Thor looks angry that Gevalia doesn’t come in K cups.
May 20, 2012 at 10:37 am
I am really having a hard time accepting that someone else is as OCD about their Keurig. The K-Cups labels are all lined up. Now I know that there is someone else I can trust to clean my kitchen. When are you available?
May 20, 2012 at 10:39 am
That one’s all me.
May 20, 2012 at 11:11 am
Yay! I’m not the only one! =)
May 20, 2012 at 11:16 am
I am interested in the “guy in truck on freeway” image you have posted. You say that you have different sizes available. Can you adjust the size of smell for that image?
thanks.

I’m pretty sure there’s a security camera just inside the window of the Vuitton shop. The photographer noticed that and took the shot, thereby making a statement about how we’ve all become both watchers AND watchees. The Orwellian implications are magnified in this very simple exposition of both sides staring us in the face and stealthily recording our every move.
May 20, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Would the raised toilet seat itself make a good gift or would the the photo of the raised toilet seat be better? Could you ask for more if you sold them as a set?
There is always that one person that is hard to buy for.
May 20, 2012 at 12:23 pm
This is what the outlet looked like, after Helen fixed it.
May 20, 2012 at 1:14 pm
I just found some new fuckery for work. Thank you for that laugh.
May 20, 2012 at 7:02 pm
When I was two years old, I found that electrical outlets could be cleaned with hair pins. Blew my diapered ass across the room. At least I found out first hand what made the light turn on.
May 20, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Are those sharpened stakes next to the raised toilet seat an incentive not to fall off?…..
Cheap and effective!
May 20, 2012 at 1:04 pm
I want in on it, too! So I’m selling pictures of my vacation!
Unfortunately I can’t even afford a staycation, so instead I’ve decided to sell a screen shot of a photograph taken on Rodeo Drive. (Worth even more than $19.99 because of the extra artsy-factor.)
ps. I heard The Devil Wears Nada is pretty hardcore. Apparently even the parrot gets it on with a cockatoo.
May 20, 2012 at 2:41 pm
I see what you did there.
May 20, 2012 at 3:47 pm
How do I know that’s not a picture of the Fake Louis Vuitton store?
May 20, 2012 at 4:06 pm
I didn’t know eBay had brick and mortar storefronts. Huh.
May 20, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Maybe you took a picture of the guy in the because he doesn’t have his hands on the steering wheel? Reminds me of my boyfriend steering with his knees as we drove the windy roads of Oxfordshire.
Him: “Watch me drive with my knees!” <*thick English accent*
Me: "If you don't put your hands on the wheel right now they will never find your body!" *white-knuckling his thigh* <*scared American girl*
May 20, 2012 at 5:02 pm
That last photo made me scared a year ago and it still makes me scared. I just know if I peeked in, he’d come to zombie-life and wrap his rotting hand around my throat.
May 20, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Bronc takes pics of action figures? Bronc IS an action figure. Check out those guns!
(Damn, can embed the image on this damn iPad.)
May 20, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Can’t…CAN’T embed…fucking iPad and dyslexia…

I knew instinctively I was fat & jealous, and now I know I’m a loser. Literally got excited that April & I use the same brand of red wine vinegar. That’s a depth of pathos I didn’t think I’d plumb, but here I am. CF4L!
May 21, 2012 at 11:01 am
Having actually sat on one of those toilet seats while visiting someone in a nursing home, my advise is GOD no….
If like me, you are short, you WILL need a toddler training stool to reach the top and after perilously perching on the toilet seat, that makes it feel like you are hovering on warm rock…. pleading dont let me fall into the pointed sticks…. and when you finish, you give a sigh of relief only to remember getting down safetly is so much harder than getting up.
Oh the memory…. the horrors…
May 21, 2012 at 3:18 pm
I need a sweater like that for my dog! He’s puny…and dapper.
May 22, 2012 at 11:49 am
The “defender of the K-cups” photo makes me feel protected, like no one will ever poach my K-cups.
