Antique house keys, English, most date from the early 1800's, some are earlier. $11.00 per key, no bulk discounts. So if like you want to buy 6 keys (why? 1 is unique, cool & decorative. 6? That's greedy) than the price would be $66.00 If you wanted to buy 20 keys at $11.00 per key with no bulk discount that would come to $210.00. Don't worry, I don't have 20 keys for sale. Now for the Fun Facts: It is rumored that I have hidden somewhere in the city of Calgary an old chest filled with Spanish doubloons and pieces of eight and that I'm actually selling the key that will unlock it. The other fun fact is that I've liberally sprinkled clues throughout my ads and even gone so far as to hiding them in items I have sold. The third and final fun fact refers to my credibility, but I'll let you work that one out on your own...

This came off of a Volvo 240 DL - Circa 1990. This is all that is left.
In the US they have a joke - it begins with a family, Mother, Father, Son Daughter, Dog, Donkey, What-Have-You walking into a Talent agency....all sorts of mischief ensues, limited only by the discretion of the comedian telling the joke. They call it "The Aristocrats". In Canada we have the same joke, only it begins with "Man took his car to Canadian Tire to get fixed...". And yeah, it goes pretty much the same way. Now - You can have the tire for $5.00. Cheap. OR - If you want to listen to the entire joke, which involves a car leaking radiator fluid, a man saying "Tail lights need a new circuit board", a $400 Charge from Canadian Tire to say "You were right the Tail Lights need a new circuit boards, don't know where you are going to get that fixed...", a suggested wheel alignment, tire rotation, new starter, transmission, $100 "Shop Fees" - read "Lube Charge But it's not feeling like I got any", etc, etc, multiple hands reaching up my *ss, an entire herd of donkeys, a car still leaking radiator fluid, a $2000 bill, a "Test Drive" that didn't roll the odometer a single KM, etc. etc. you can have it for free. It's a long joke and in the end it's on me, but if you listen to it all you can have the tire for free.

Great, but we're going back in time now, he's a little - rawer, not as subtle, by which I mean he's still a thousand times subtler than any American equivalent, but his style is still evolving and in later films gets increasingly nuanced.
He can be brutal, too, and goes where Hollywood would never go, this, while great, would never pass a test screening, plump audiences clutching their popcorns and diet cokes, they'd hate it. It would go before a committee, get slashed to ribbons, redone, a new writer, director...yet he managed to make it in communist Poland...
There's still one more left...

It was a revolver, heavy, Crosman, listed it on Kijiji with a map to the neighboring Circle-K's and 7/11, the dodgiest guys pick it up, throw it in the car, pay me, then barrel out of here, I'm pretty sure they had my map on the dashboard. Makes me laugh...
**Then this morning, more texts from the same buyer, now he's looking for silver jewelry, it's like I'm setting up new immigrants as entry level gangsters...
