Take on the Righetti Bag of Crap

As I was putting together the latest edition of the Righetti Bag of Crap after successfully auctioning the mystery item off online for $29, I found that although if contained enough of the usual crap (shirts, old cell phones, books, figurines, household appliances etc.) it lacked something.  We run one of these auctions about once per year and make no promises except a completely full 12x12x13 box, but the Righetti BOC comes with some expectations.  The problem is that those expectations (porn) have kind of gone the way of most print media, nobody has any physical material anymore and the Righetti Stash was sent our with the last BOC.  
I thought that the RBOC could not possibly be complete without at least some pornography so although the BOC is suppose to be items I find laying around my house and desk, I thought about actually purchasing some which turned out to be easier said than done

No where in the great city of Manhattan can you buy any, it's like  the entire city has gone dry.  There are no sex shops, no peepshow places and certainly no respectable newsstand had any, so the BOC recipient got the following instead

The first thing I noticed when I opened the BOX was how much C was in the B.

The next thing I noticed was that it smelled musty.  Then I noticed the smell of balls.  Balls as in Nuts.  WTF!??!!  Why does the box smell like balls?

 

Oh well, only one way to find out.

This is what I took out of the box in order.  It’s a lot:

Lots of print pornography still in the West Village newstands/bodegas. Probably not your cup of tea though.

And a sweaty t-shirt? Seriously?

Do you really market it as "Bag O' Crap?" And you got $29 for it?

I tried to sell Cal vs. Oregon State football tickets online last year on Stubhub for $1, and I got ZERO bidders. One. Fucking. Dollar. And these were good seats with a great 40-yard line view halfway up the stands.

Probably had something to do with Cal being 1-11 last year.

Also, there is a sex shop just 2 blocks away from where I live in Pasadena. It is called "Le Sex Shoppe."

I bought my first porn DVD there in 2007 or so (previously, I had gotten VHS tapes in the '90s or illegally downloaded porn clips like everyone else, and in 2007, I think that was like a year before I bought a blu-ray). Island Fever 4. I still have a lot of nostalgia for Teagan Presley and Kinzie Kenner, as a result.

I also saw another star from Island Fever 4 at LAX once. Sophia Santi. She was with her big black boyfriend with dreadlocks and Nikki Delano waiting to board a flight to Latin America. She had bad skin on her face and pimples or pock marks. I would not have paid for her, but she caught me staring at her, and she gave me that sly, knowing, championship stare back that says, "I know you've jerked off to me fucking other people."

I think I have recounted this story before.
