With a label that says "Vintage"

Since moving to DC, coming back to Winston-Salem has meant finding as much pleasure as possible in the unique part of both this city and the South. But now, the unique has extended to TV, as my newest TV addiction is as difficult to find in DC as sweet tea or grits. It's Junkin', a show hosted by two very genuine, very hilarious hosts, that's not only cry-and-clutch-your-stomach funny, but also shows the absolutely unbelievable world of junk sales. I found myself saying, "So weird" over just about everything they find. My favorite: a bunch of mugs shaped like body organs. Hot chocolate out of a mug shaped like a liver with a personified face? Mmmm.

So if you're down south and have the type of southern status that can afford you some of that there cable TEEvee, turn it on, and I can almost promise that you won't turn it off.

I kind of want to see what the liver shaped mug looks like.

"Kind of"?! You should be dying of curiousity! It was a pretty amazing sight, what with a stomach and a liver with smiley faces on them. And even weirder was these same little characters standing in a pyramid...in a snow globe. So strange.

Sadly, I looked all over, but couldn't find any pictures of them. Sorry...
