Swap: 1 Decrepit Antique Harp

A few things:

Firstly, ignore the price.

Secondly, I'm in no way responsible for the damage done to it by whatever moron-once-upon-a-time did to make it "playable". It came to me pretty much in the condition you see it. To describe it briefly, it's an antique - guess mid-Victorian Harp. It's got some lovely painting on it, it's old, it's also kinda junky and probably not in any way repairable, more - with a bit (or a lot) of work - a junktique.

Thirdly, I appreciate it's decrepit, I've had it for 20 odd years and would like it to go to someone who'd appreciate it - (Not a dealer, be warned, and I know you all so just try and pick it up and see what happens...), so disregard the price. Instead, bring me something curious of equal value - not to exceed 2 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch deep. In other words, something small, I'm downsizing. Don't tell me, or hint at it's provenance, I trust you implicitly, simply drop me a line and wrap it up and we'll do the swap. I like surprises.

Halloween body in leaves

It's Halloween and I've hacked someone up, hung them upside-down over a pile of leaves to drain the blood first, then dismembered them into a heap of organs and limbs.

The children don't know, they think it's an exceptionally gruesome display on the front lawn, but other people have caught on. 

The papers, they've got photos of my display on the front page and detailed ones inside, people are buying them like hotcakes, it's an award winning Halloween display for sure, I try to stop someone, a short fat man, from buying the paper - "Don't ..." I tell him, and put my hand on his arm to sell him; he knows, some of the others know, it's not just a display, they want to look.

I'm not going to get away with this forever, the police are coming to pick me up, they're at the front door. I tell the kids to eat their dinner, then go to the door, the police are there, I apologize and tell them I'm eating dinner, I'll just be half an hour.

I'll be going away for this one for quite some time.

No, Seriously, about that Cat ...

Really, what is up with that cat?

At first I blamed it on me. I mean, I was working 14 hours a day and so didn't really get to spend a lot of quality time with him. And he was used to having you and E. around, and so probably he was lonely, a bit upsetting I imagine, the change of household, furniture, the arrival of the "other" fat cat.

But I've been spending a bit more time with him as of late, a bit more quality time as my schedule has relaxed somewhat, and I have to say, really, what the hell is up with that cat?
