Garage sale: Rejected
Not only did they buy nothing, but the little girl refused to say goodbye. I sense that the ducks across the street are laughing at us.
Garage sale: Dry spell ending?
Yes! Someone stopped! Praise Allah!!
Garage sale: Economics lesson
Making $5 an hour: Not good.
Making $5 an hour in 100-degree heat: Even worse.
Someday, the humans will figure this out.

Garage sale: Mugsy condemns drive-bys
They slow down, 7 mph, or perhaps 5. They gaze down their noses as they round the corner. Then they speed away, insulting us with their exhaust fumes. Infidels ...
Garage sale: Bargains go unnoticed
We are nearly four hours in, and still nobody has claimed any of our free items. That is right, my flock, the price tags on our treadmill and rickety weight bench both simply say "free." Could the ministry possibly be any more generous? Will I have to start taping dollar bills to these items to make it worthwhile for someone to claim them? Because I am not above such tactics.
Allah, we pray that we do not have to lug this junk, er, these treasures back inside.

Garage sale: The chicken dance
We have just sold a set of glassware. After some tense negotiations, we agreed to go from $3 to $2. This latest pair of ladies was accompanied by two children, who found our stuffed chicken that dances and plays the chicken dance to be immensely entertaining. Unfortunately, the elders did not take notice. For only $2, they could have given their children a lifetime of laughs. But they instead chose to ignore the cheers of pure joy and herded their now heartbroken girls back into their pickup truck.

Mugsy experiments with live blogging
You may have seen, from time to time, live blogging from major events. The Oscars, the Super Bowl, a presidential inauguration -- all have had their share of play-by-play analysis posted live on the Web. Now, Pug Life Ministries brings you a first: live blogging from a garage sale.
Stay tuned; excitement surely awaits.
