Will This Get Me Free Coffee?

I think this is from Starbucks.  I wonder if it's a rain-check, and I'll get free coffee if I turn it in?

Only one way to find out.

It's.... Shakey!

Thanks for the find, Strangerinthebackground!

I love commercial mascots.

"Shakey, the Fat, Effeminate Drycleaner" is a great addition to the collection.

Why is he shaking?

1) He is shaking his head to say, "No, this stain will not come out!"
2) He is shaking in fear of my anger.  Don't give me excuses, Shakey, you and I both know this stain was NOT HERE when I brought this in!
3) He's been drinking from the XXX bottle in his hand.

Is it?

Magnetic Poetry: "waste"

Found this little magnet on the kitchen floor when I moved in.

Wish I'd photographed the other magnet I found, which said, "angel".

Also found:
- 2 cat toys
- 1 Eagles Football beer glass
- 1 miraculous medal of the Virgin Mary
- 1 mini hand vac
- 1 plastic mixing spoon

It's weird what people leave behind.

At the last place I moved into, I found a teapot, coffee filters, and a can of black olives.
