I'm a slut for duffel. Bags, backpacks, pouches, straps, belts, web gear, whatever you call it... I love things that hold other things -- especially if they're made of OD canvas. It's like Tess' obsession with tiny little drawers/cubby holes: unexplainable. I just like duffel. Old duffel even more.
The worst online place for my wallet to be is Northridge International's magazina and pouch page. I'm drawn to that page. It's teasing me, with those tiny little pictures.
I recently got an order from them (five Thompson magazines packed in foil and cosmoline before I was even born, along with a five mag pouch I've never even heard of) and I'm back for more. It doesn't help that they have the best prices on Thompson magazines. Hell, the ones they sell are even real Seymour mags. Wrapped 60 years ago. Other guys online are selling those mags for $30 each, and you have zero idea what you are actually getting. I got 5 along with a $35 pouch for $110. So I'm ordering some more of that.
And yes, when I opened my find I huffed the packaging for a good five minutes. One gets many China huffs in his day, but very precious few U.S. WWII-era huffs. The China ones are stinkier.
I almost said, "He made me smell the pouch" - but that just sounded wrong. Anyway. He has a point about the tiny drawers. Who am I to judge? Everyone's a magpie for something.
Posted by Tess at April 13, 2004 9:15 PMThe most expensive place to buy contact lenses on the planet is 1-800-CONTACTS. They sell contact lenses for more than any place I've found for the exact same product PLUS you must pay shipping and wait for the lenses to arrive AFTER you get verification of your prescription. Who in their right mind shops here and willfully ?
