Earth’s about to pick up a hitchhiker—by the end of the month, we’re getting another moon! Well, sort of.

Do we buy the pink flamingo? What about the cork bottles? Is the price on the military canteen too much? Paul, we don't want 7,500 lbs. of scrap leather...but Pat, it's 7,500 lbs. of scrap leather! Conversations like that happen all the time. So please keep pondering our pages as we keep discovering the best of the best surp …
