Tue, June 22, 2004 - 11:38 PM1. Fake ID's- Actually, they called them "novelty" ids, but they looked real. the only costumers are illegal immigrants and high school students trying to find a way to buy beer.
2. dresses that look like tents
3. entire outfits made from fake leather
4. rabid dogs, roaming the market looking for their next child to kill. I once was offered one for the bargin price of 2 dollars.
5. faux everything. Even the plastic toys weren't made from real plastic -

Thu, June 24, 2004 - 1:33 AM1. Power tools. That suspiciously resemble the ones robbed from your car last week.
2. Body piercing jewellery. Usually made of some cheap nickle alloy that'll give you belly button (or eyebrow, or nipple...) rot.
3. Old National Geographics, with the photo pages of topless African women stuck together and the spotty guy behind the 'counter' not able to catch your eye.
4. Fireplace surrounds. That look suspiciously like the ones that got robbed out of your house the last time you were on holiday. :<
5. Itinerant kids. Sorry, 'juvenile members of the respectable yet travelling community within our politically correct and all-inclusive society'. See responses under 'mexican kids', above. -
