old dirt in any cond


anything from the 60,s 70,s 80,s thank you, ###-###-####

Um. Being dirt – if you really want it from a specific period, it might be good if you specified which millennium you were interested in, not just the decade. Just sayin’.

Thanks, Mike!

    I’m wondering what section of CL this was posted within–makes a difference if it was in Trade/Barter or, [shudder] Missed Connections . . .

    I have vintage dirt and antique dirt, both of which will cost you more.

      Vintage dirt is so last millenium. I won’t settle for anything less than cruelty-free, organic, free-range artisanal dirt hand crafted by the indigenous peoples of Ish and fortified with Omega-3.

        I guess I need to have my glasses checked…I read that as “old dude in any cond—-anything from the 60,s 70,s 80,s thank you, ###-###-####.” Thought I had me a live one….darn!

    Should be pretty easy to tell them apart. Dirt from the 60s contains traces of LSD and free love. Dirt from the 70s commonly has threads from corduroy and/or bell-bottoms. Dirt from the 80s contains buried unsold Atari E.T. cartridges.

    If Sparky were a real connoisseur, he would be pickier about condition. I mean, there’s just no comparison between collector-grade minty dirt and badly-cared-for dirt that’s just been allowed to sit around getting dirty.

    I have dirt on Happy Days. The Fonz was really afraid to ride a motorcycle.
    Then there is that entire show, Space: 1999.
    And oh, don’t even get me started on the Terminator.
    I’ve kept this stuff buried for a long time.
    If you want this dirt, you haul, and make sure you bring someone to help load it. I have a bad back.

    The dirt I used in the ’70’s and ’80’s, my pa used back in the 1950’s.
    And his pa used the same dirt back in the ’30’s. Great gramps used it back near the turn of the century. Now, they all conditioned it with horse manure, cow manure, and pig manure. I never used those conditioners on the dirt when I started using it. I used the dirt to ride my motorcycle on and burying umm, never mind. You can’t have my dirt unless you want it from before 1971.

      Well, you can smell by the way I don’t use my soap,
      I’m a dirty man: no time to wash.
      Stink is bad when it is warm, I’ve worn these socks
      Since I was born.
      And now it’s all right. it’s ok.
      And you may look the other way.
      You can try to understand
      The dirts effect on man.

      Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
      You’re smellin’ my funk, smellin’ my funk.
      Feel your eyes leakin’ and everybody pukin’,
      And were smellin’ my funk, smellin’ my funk.
      Uh, uh, uh, ugh, smellin’ my funk, smellin’ my funk.
      Uh, uh, uh, ugh, smellin’ my funk.

          Just pop ’em out and squeegee them with a little WD-40. If you feel self conscious, you can pop in a couple of grapes in the meantime (but be warned, that gives you California Raisinvision)

    I think I’ve mentioned playing with a casket in the past. If I had buried it in the dirt instead of the snow, perhaps my past would still be buried.
    (That was in 1972, so I still stand by my pre-1971 dirt.)
