Claiming….. Lil Dirty
Regardless of how often I dream about it, chances are, I’m never going to pull the Big Dirty (see Trailer Park Boys). For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, the Big Dirty is your one big heist or scam that’s going to leave you set for life.
So, I live for the lil dirty. Rome SDS is right next to a couple train tracks, one that’s old and shut down. So…. Take a quick walk, grab some spikes and put those spikes on Ebay. As you can see, 25 spikes for $6 are currently selling. People say “oh what about the shipping?!”, like they got me or something, on an aspect of the mini hustle I haven’t thought of, then I’m like “USPS flat rate shipping box, 10.50, in your damn face.”
When running a mini hustle, it’s good to think of your profits in terms of tangible goods, not just money. I like to think of it in terms of China Star lunches, right here in Waterbury VT. Like, right now I’m looking at, a Lo Mein lunch, with fried rice. But…. In you get on Ebay, and help boost this auction; I could be looking at some Shrimp Lo Mein, with delicious egg roll and chicken wing as seen in this photo.

Best wishes on the Lil Dirty, cuz I don’t think they serve shrimp lo mein in the clink; no conjugal visits, either . . .

Better china star than Avrad’s clam chowder. That shite was bland: warm half & half and butter soup. And all the waitresses look like they stumbled out of an 80s movie.
Anyway, I was up yawls way last week for turns at Stowe and decided to swing through Waterbury for lunch on my way back to NY and took some photos of the building. But it looked a little to serious in there, like Howard Roarke himself was fuming over bad coffee and T-squares, so I didn’t dare say hello. Didn’t want to disturb the geniuses at work.
