Yeah, it's nice to see some lighthearted banter, but I have to admit my sardonic, sarcastic side chuckled at some of the earlier stuff even if it was a bit over the top / uncalled for. OTOH that Addams listing was probably one of the funniest sale ads I've read, if that were a CL ad someone somewhere would have blogged it as a "best of".
As for weeding out the collection, if you can't decide, you should have a Safecracker party: Assault the vault and win a pin! Or a 5-finger discount. Or something like that.
Ooooh you should keep the Safecracker to settle arguments and endorse questionable financial decisions. Ah so there's one of your keepers! You can thank me later.
