Gay Antique Road Show



I love my neighbors Rick and Mike. They are two of the most generous positive people you'll ever meet. Just don't go antique shopping with them because it gets ugly quick.

During the trip, Rick and Mike nearly came to blows over whether to buy a huge antique buffet at a Hot Springs antique shop. Mike insisted it was a steal at $1,100, was likely made in the late 1700's and was actually worth about $15,000. Rick's response was "where are we going to put that thing? We already have two buffets." Rick's reasoning eventually won out, but he paid for it for the rest of the day as Mike consistently reminded him that they'd just passed on the antique equivalent of the holy grail.

Hm! Depends on how big their place is.

A bigger issue: How to get it home???

(Crating + shipping would've diminished its bargain-ness.)
