fisher price still camera

[kyle cassidy <cassidy@netaxs.com>]

while perusing the local thrift shops yesterday, i noticed that one of them

had a fisher price 110 still camera for two dollars. it's blue, black and

yellow, says "fisher price" on the top and front and has big yellow buttons

for little fingers and big rubber end bumpers to guard against the

inevitable dropping. i took a look at it, but wasn't sure that i wanted to

spend two dollars on it. while walking past the store today, i happened to

have two bucks in my pocket and thought "aw, what the heck", so i went in,

said "i'll have that blue camera there," they put it in a bag, i walked down

to the coffee shop and while sitting there, i pulled the camera out. and to

my suprise, it didn't say "fisher price" on it anymore, the front of the

camera was tacky where someone had pulled off the aluminum name plate, the

top name plate was still there, apparantly fastned by some more potent

bonding agent, but it was covered by a piece of electrical tape, upon

peeling this off, i saw that someone had tried to scrape the words "fisher

price" off of the metal with some sharp object, (knife? fork?).



some people!
