So, today I was looking for baby furniture (I’ve heard they can just sleep in a dresser drawer, but my wife isn’t hip to this idea for whatever reason) at a consignment store around the corner from my house and, as I walked by a display case full of gewgaws I did a classic double take and had to bite my tongue lest I have shouted out, “Holy $#@*! Is that an original Reg Smythe Andy Capp strip there?!”
It was indeed–and a really early one no less: December 16th, 1962. Asking price: $45.00. Needless to say, I now own this item. Why do we need a bassinet anyway? I have no intention of letting my child even own a rifle until she’s at least 12, at which point she can buy her own night vision scope or bassinet or whatever else she wants to hook onto it…

I don’t get Andy Capp.
Baby furniture: Have you tried Craigslist? Whatever I’m looking for at the moment, I run a search and then put the RSS in my feed reader and forget about it until something pops up. Also try Freecycle, if they have it in W-S. There’s tons of baby stuff out there secondhand …
