I can tell when Crummy comes back up after an absence by the re-opening of the spam floodgates that drench my crummy.com and segfault.org addresses.

I'm tempted to make inquiries and obtain insider
information and wholesaler
catalogs, but since I'm not an insider I fear the 'buy something or get out' vibe, and if it's in a catalog it seems too respectable,
somehow, to be worth my time.
PS: Both Ioffer and Ebay have a section called "Dolls and Bears". What, are stuffed bears not a type of doll? Also, "Dolls and Bears" would be an interesting title for a musical.

One thing I enjoy is exploring the
neglected underbelly of mass production. Until the Internet came along I
saw only the endpoint of the process, the ninety-nine-cent store or (for
the more upscale items) dollar store which purchase wholesale the hopeful
monsters of capitalism and try to sell them to you. But now the scales
have been lifted from my eyes, and I can get a glimpse of the process by
which cast-off merchandise gets from its warehouse on the edge of town to
your local flea market. Some examples from Ioffer, a site I just discovered. The "Business and Commercial" section is the one I'm mainly interested in.

It's thrills and spills for the whole family when Danny O'Brien makes up Star Trek episodes corresponding to past editions of Linux in the Enterprise. Caution! It's funny.
