From the wide world of weird this just in: you can now purchase the late Jerry Garcia's mailbox here.
This mailbox sat in front of the late guitarist's last home, a custom made mansion in Nicasio, California. When Jerry died the house was sold and the new owner upgraded the box and put Jerry's in storage. Apparenly, now is the time to bring the thing out and make a profit from the deceased.
In a culture where celebrities are the new deities, even old mailboxes are sacred. The starting bid is $2000 so tighten up your budget if you want to have this one of a kind memorabilia.
The only question I have left is that with all the millions Jerry Garcia was making, why didn't he buy a better looking mailbox? That thing looks like it would fit better in front of a beat up trailer, than a million dollar mansion.

You know what the cool thing is? I don't think that people would believe that it was Garcia's mailbox if it didn't look like that. I mean, if he had one of those that was specially designed or looked like a replica of his house or molded plasct, no one would believe it was his mailbox...the whole tarnished aluminum, oversized box with red flag and "El Mirador" across the front in stick-on letters just makes you wonder if he moved it with him from his starting days living on the road and going home to a shack....maybe it was his way of trying to keep his feet on the ground. It looks like it has an interesting story, somehow.
im suspect already... it doesnt have any bird poop on it. No matter what we do with our mailbox to fend off birds, they always land on it and poop all over it...
maybe i can wrap a fake snake or something around it?
Doesn't the fake snake sort of defeat the purpose, though? Unless you like snakes as decoration, that is. I'd be afraid that I'd never get any mail either. We have one of those little mailboxes on the side of our house. Don't even have to walk to the curb! Never gets pooped on either.
old school mail deleivery eh?
Yeah...mostly junk.
