Grip Grand

someone donated it to my work, with a box of like 30 other sealed games, but I’m not allowed to buy this one; my job is auctioning it off for charity

An original edition copy of the classic LucasArts PC game Grim Fandango (1998) in MINT condition, factory sealed in shrinkwrap, with stickers that say “Limited Time Offer!” and “FREE INSIDE! Day of the Tentacle”. It still has its original price tag of $44.99 from CompUSA

Found this copy of the classic LucasArts PC game Grim Fandango (1998) at work, MINT condition, factory sealed, in shrink, with all the fun stickers (“FREE INSIDE! Day of the Tentacle”) and its original CompUSA price tag. Extremely rare grail. Had to share in case anyone out there is into video games

I just heard about this too! They mentioned it on Blank Check’s series about Amy Heckerling. Fascinating filmography.

A rectangular cardboard box housing a string of candle-shaped electric lights. The cover depicts an angel driving a sleigh pulled by a single white reindeer, leaping toward a Christmas tree covered in light bulbs, set against a golden six-pointed star, all on a starry black background. This scene is framed in green with gold craquelure.

a large man’s hand beside a much larger, serving-tray-sized trilobite fossil, millions of years old.

Trilobite fossil in matrix (a term I learned, as it relates to paleontology, while researching this thing). My [6’2”] hand for comparison. 250-500 MILLION years old! And the fossil is pretty old too 🥁

now I only need to find a few hundred of my closest friends and I’ll be back up to speed

I do not know how to cook for one 😔

people who said I wouldn’t eat a 4000 calorie salad and half a baguette for dinner are real quiet right now

deleted the hell app from my phone so now my stupid and bad thoughts go here sorry suckers

The cover of a 1940’s pulp paperback mystery book. The cover reads “Hannah Lees — THE DARK DEVICE. A Dell Mystery. With crime map on back cover.” The Dell logo is a an eyeball peering through a keyhole. The cover art itself depicts a woman with a pale white face or perhaps wearing a porcelain mask. She has long wavy red hair. She appears to have a green ribbon or cap on her head. She is behind a profile view of the Grim Reaper, which hides the left half of her face. Old Death himself has a purple skull beneath his dark black robes, with a red pupil inside his empty black eye socket. His toothy grin is aligned with our redhead’s bright red lips. She looks shocked. Death smiles. The artwork is in flat, layered planes that appear to be airbrushed. The lettering is either yellow or white. The background of the image is late-evening blue.

A vintage oil painting of a forest landscape in an abstracted Fauvist manner using bold segments of bright color. The painting depicts a path or river winding through the woods, leading toward mountains in the distant skyline.

One half of an antique stereograph card (the other half being identical, giving the image a three-dimensional appearance). Card is from the late 19th or early 20th century and features a man with long hair, a brightly shining almost-radiant monocle, a curly mustached van dyke beard situation, and a black string tie. He is wearing a shiny black suit and standing knock-kneed and pigeon toed on a stage covered in worn carpet and backed by a richly patterned fabric curtain. He is holding on to a small lectern or music stand that sits atop a now-tilting gold pole. The lectern matches a side curtain in color and pattern. A humorous caption at the bottom of the card reads, in serif-heavy Victorian type, “Sacre-bleu! I have ze sad accident.”

Idk what to do on this platform so I’m pivoting to posting pics of the cool stuff I find at my job as a professional treasure hunter, for now.

Here are some fun vintage 1960s Barbie & Ken doll accessories!
