"...they began to operate what they called 'The Operation'... They would select a victim and then threaten to beat him up if he paid the so-called protection money.
Four months later they started another operation which the called 'The Other Operation'. In this racket they selected another victim and threatened not to beat him up if he didn't pay them.
One month later they hit upon 'The Other Other Operation'. In this the victim was threatened that if he didn't pay them, they would beat him up. This, for the Piranha brothers, was the turning point."
And you know, Glad, a perverse part of me would be interested in how many would seriously respond to such an offer. I would like to believe none would, but you know what P.T. Barnum said...
I hear ya Glad. We have a ton of stuff we'd like to sell, too. Even have one of Ralph D.'s books and a 40th Anniv. wine glass among other things we'd like to get rid of.

Waterbuffalo,
We sold our 40th anniversary glasses for $50 years ago. We have sold so much stuff over the past few years.
Some people really find these items near and dear. We already got rid of the music tapes and all of our sns tapes. We mostly have books and a few tape sets like Living Victoriously. My kids think we should sell the name tags. They think that they are awesome and they thought about wearing them around and about as a cool cult item.

Sounds like a Piranha Brothers scheme.

RainbowsGirl might be interested in some of your old way stuff. Her son loves the music if you are letting go of any of that.
