You know that show is fake, right? Like they plant all of the items beforehand and none of it is real. The guys weren't even antique shop owners before the show started.

No poo poo, pawn stars and hardcore pawn is even faker and I still watch the hell out of them. I just like learning about the item histories

Well ok, for hardcore pawn it's more for the utter ridiculousness

Also apparently aside from contacting the people way before hand, signing contracts to allow them to film etc American pickers is not nearly as fake as say Pawn Stars. The negotiating and buying that appears on camera is real and they were both pickers before hand although one of them just did it as a hobby

I think there's one of these still in box at my dad's old house, I'm going there this weekend anyways so I might see if it's still there. Looking online, looks like it's not actually worth quite that much. The one's I found on ebay are around $40-50, though I also found an article saying one sold for $96. Granted, that's a lot for a roll of toilet paper, but not $800.

I helped my mom with her craft business in the 90s. I am no stranger to taking nasty old garbage and making a dried flower arrangement in/on it. Dumb broads will decorate their houses with the weirdest poo poo. Those look like good items for that. Even the bedpan. I'd put a whole bunch of baby's breath in there so it looks like it's spilling out and some other flowers. Yeah, and epoxy a hanger to the back. Some lady will think that would be so cute to hang in the bathroom.

Some people restore old tractors just like some people restore old cars. 50 bucks isn't crazy money for a part that seems to be intact (rust comes off) :shrug:

(A lot of weird posters in this thread thinking normal stuff is weird.)

e: Not to mention a lot of people still use old-rear end (from the sixties at least) tractors and a seat is a pretty essential thing.

He does destroy things. I've been told cockatoos are like 2 years olds. I don't have kids so I don't know if they are and I doubt it. On the other hand, he does scream if I try to go to the bathroom and he can't see me. Or at bed time and there isn't a night light. I was holding the thing so he wouldn't destroy it. But yeah, instead of buying toys on Amazon for $30 that'll he'll destroy in 2 hours, I've learned how to buy wood that is safe for him to rip apart and build them myself. He's an rear end in a top hat but I love him.

Now I'm curious what parasites can pass from mice to snakes via digestion. I mean there have to be a ton cause its such a logical evolutionary pathway

When I owned snakes I only fed frozen/thawed mice but was warned against using live (especially wild) ones because of intestinal parasites (a stomach's a stomach I guess?) and mites, which you can also get from untreated bedding.
