Lacquered
Like speed bumps, the holidays. And now that we're over them, I have a set of festive holiday dishes, a culture of bath products, and some giant under armor to wrangle. I wonder what the right thing to do with these things is. Returning would mean requesting a receipt. A terrible prospect. Stowing it all away would make me feel fat. Where does one donate such a thing as a lacquered sports towel? A pair of loafers made of memory foam? A calendar about Elvis's dietary compulsions?

One word. Ebay.
Really? That one word seems like it would take so much work. I'd have to pack and ship a calendar! I was thinking more along the lines of a drive-by flinging of the calendar.
It is a pain, but you might get absurd satisfaction knowing that someone out there is willing to pay $5.12 for said calendar. I once bet my sister that if we tried to sell a jar of Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting on Ebay, no one would bid on it. I was wrong. We sold the frosting for $.98, plus the cost of shipping.
You could fling the Elvis calendar at my house if you wanted to.
