petty commodity fetishism!
By shag carpet bomb • Oct 17th, 2009 • Category: Belly Button Lintthe sink has a built in soap dispenser. the sprayer is part of the faucet. I’m in heaven! petty commodity fetishism at its finest, eh? pictures to come as soon as we get computers set up! Whee! Boy, did I hate the house we were renting. This place, so much better.
I ended up giving the movers $90 to make it $900 even. I hope that was good. I imagine the moving company only pays those guys $15/hr if that. I know my son did mold remediation and disaster remediation work for awhile, hauling stuff out of the oceanside homes of the wealthy in Florida. They were people who had to have their stuff hauled out. Once, he was moving a marble statue of the guy who owned the house. Since the house was hit by hurricane flooding, it was moldy and there was no a.c. He was sweating buckets, trying to move this thing down spiral stairs. The owner was freaking out that he was sweating and getting sweat on his MARBLE statue.
Another time, he sat down on a bed to take a break. One of the other movers said, “Hey man, don’t do that. Someone was shot to death in that bed.” Sonshine jumped up from the bed and gave his notice at the end of the day. He’d had enough of that mess!

Are you saying this guy had a statue of *himself*!
yepper. it was a marble statue of him, the guy who owned the house.
but i thought this was fairly common among the nouveau riche, no? like charlie sheen in wall st. not that he has a marble statue but certainly an ostentatious display of wealth.
>not that he has a marble statue but certainly an ostentatious display of wealth.
Ostentatious display is normal for sure. But a statue of yourself seems around the bend. I guess it depends on who did it though. An Andy Warhol portrait doesn’t sound so crazy. But Warhol didn’t do portraits of anyone not famous.
