Hola Frank,
Have you ever been tempted to exploit someone else's secrets for your own gain? ie, a secret so great you could profit from it, etc.

Neatorama makes me happy

Bite me! I really wanted this to be real...going to go cry now.

Have to say, this is on the top of my list of all time favs from that era. Timeless.

I was very moved by this story, and enlightened as well. My twin brother and I had a teacher similar to this in grade school, and I was greatly moved.

I just got my boxes in yesterday (3 of em, all in the same box though) AWESOME! I got Strawz, Bacon Wallet, and RACIN' GRANNIES!!!!! HAHAHAHA! They are silly...but my 14 yr. old had a blast snatching all my cool stuff from me. I settled on letting her have the bacon wallet, she said her friends were way jealous. My twin brother got a big kick out of the strawz too. THANKS NEATORAMA! This is my first Mystery Sale and I will be doing it again in the future...what a blast.

Wow, fore edged painting looks like something I would truely enjoy trying out. Perhaps with some uncared for books first, in case of mess ups.

Being a cat lover and an avid lover of the inked arts, I have to say this is a tad morbid. Shame shame...besides that, putting an animal under for any reason is dangerous.

It was my twin brother and my birthday so thats what we did!

Big Brother worked very hard for his "twelve pack"

Surprisingly, living next to the power plant had very little effect on the rest of the family.
