what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

it’s all fun & games, until someone puts a price tag on it. Molly Foster sent me this t-shirt. Not the actual shirt. But the link 

I’m dumbfounded

$177

One hundred and seventy seven dollars

I wonder how much this shirt sold for 40 years ago. But I'm the crusty old man whining about the price of coffee when I was your age. 

I never worked at ABC but I was a legal messenger for 10 years and that's why I like how she spells messanger. 

As I paw through everything I own, I do not believe there is any one clothing item in my closet that cost as much as $177. Much of it is thriftstore scores. But even at MSRP…  …Outdoor Research hoodie? nope. Showers Pass rain jacket? Not quite. Rab puffer jacket? Maybe. But everything else. Dirt cheap. Nada. Nunca. Nicht. Nothing.

can anyone confirm the rumor that Ted Bundy worked at ABC?

Bundy worked as a bellboy, busboy, cooks helper, dishwasher, hotel worker, janitor, law school student, LEGAL MESSENGER, office worker, parking attendant, political campaign worker, psychiatric social worker, salesman, saw mill worker, security guard, yacht club worker…

Ted Bundy worked at ABC's Olympia office for I don't how long and I don't I know when. But I guess how long he worked there or exactly when isn't the point. The point is that the same idiots who hired me and a whole bunch of my friends also hired Ted Bundy.

Also, I paid $5 for my shirt. We all did. Design by Michael Robson, former ABC mechanic.

what up EB? $5 is a great price. you think that messanger shirt listed at $177 is 90's not 80's vintage?

Definitely 1990 proper, so it was close. Someone I know through someone else recently offered to give me one of these and I turned it down. Now I guess it should go the their kids’ college fund.

A guy I knew in bend who was the first chair violin in his high school orchestra and one the first true hip snowboarders, ahead of the curve-this was 92-95 was also the son of Ted Bundy’s high school best friend. His dad was never open about it, read a lot about it, lots of books on Ted, lots of guilt but never a Ted talk.
