best... junk mail... EVER!

I don't mind sorting through junk mail and catalogs and stuff for 5 or 10 people who no longer live here. Not when I find stuff like the latest Archie McPhee catalog! I am in awe.

Yes, I'd heard of them. Various friends have sung their praises over the years. This did not prepare me for the purple Devil Duckie, or the squeaky Buddha with the laptop, or the wind-up hopping lederhosen. (No Yummy Sushi pajamas though. I wonder where Buffy got hers.....)

I can score you the sushi cloth

There are a couple of vendors, Repro Depot comes to mind. And if you offer me a pic of yourself wearing them, I might be convinced to sew up a set for you.

Jammies sure have gotten more expensive since I was a kid. I'm not sure I want them THAT much.

Wind-up lederhosen? I must have one! :)

Yep, wind-up hopping lederhosen (http://www.mcphee.com/bigindex/current/11138.html).

I couldn't make this stuff up.

(Although "lederhosen", like "pants", is technically plural... so can you actually have just one?)
