Screw baseball cards. I'm gonna start collecting over-sized Eskimo spoons and carved raven thingamabobs. Same episode. $300,000. Wow.

I used to collect Eskimo memorabilia, then I had a bad experience on the Inuit54 chat board. A couple of their board members ridiculed me when I suggested their ancestors came from Madagascar. It no longer was fun for me, so I sold all my hand-carved bone faces, soapstone kayaks and scenic engravings on their B/S/T.

Luckily, I'd been collecting that stuff only four days. I guess if you haven't been an Eskimo your whole life, they don't want you sharing ideas that have little to no basis of fact.

Those Inuits can really get under your skin...likewise Hottentots.

This sounds vaguely familiar. Were the guy who insisted on calling Malamutes "Sled Lemurs?"

Bill,

You're eating too much dairy.

Yours for five hundred bucks, Rob.
