My new fez!

Have you ever wondered what it's like at a genuine Kentucky flea market? Well, on a typical yesterday, it would
have been just like this. Ambiguously accented guys with hazardously unbuttoned shirts...
...doing everything in their power to peddle junk no one should rightfully want.
Then again, there's also fresh produce.
Some attendees, though, are only interested in a diet more rich in protein. You might be wondering what he's staring at so hard.
Maybe he wants a pet.
Or maybe he's just hungry.
What do you think?
Anyway, if you browse around, flea markets can be the only place to find some pretty unique items, as long as you pretend there's no such thing as ebay.
More often than not, though, you're just likely to find lots of things you would never consider buying.
And plenty of things you hope you never need.
Some things are just difficult to explain.
If you want my advice, don't play the games this guy is offering.
South of the border, Tennessee hosts their own flea markets, in a somewhat upscale venue.
No matter where you are in the world, though, some things are universal.
So you can always count on the second-hand market to be full of surprises.
Or not.
But if you keep your eyes peeled, and haggle a bit, you might come away a satisfied shopper.

The Correct Perspective (beta)
...is a futile attempt by me, garsh, to inflict words on the public. Generally, the subject matter will pertain to entertainment like TV or movies, videogames, toys and action figures (usually Mega Bloks), interrupted occassionally by personal anecdotes.
