For Sale on Melrose: Wolverine’s Daughter, 2 Books, Taco Bell, Thundercats, Movies, Money…My Heart

By Ryan - Friday November 21st 2008

wolverineYou just have to admire the DIY ethic. At first I thought this guy took the whole “give the computer the finger” motif so far that he hand-lettered each of these ridiculous signs (commonly posted paired with a second sign, each with a separate message and separate phone number). Closer scrutiny, however, reveals disappointing evidence of photocopier play. Let us hope that, given the central Melrose location of these posted adverts, they are not the handiwork of Mr Brainwash inexplicably finally getting something right for a change. Fear not, way too subtle. Too “thinky.” So who’s the salesperson here…Are these Korendian by origin? We crosschecked the phone numbers with what we currently have on file for David Liebe Hart. Neither number matched, but it could be he’s upgraded after hitting the big time with Tim and Eric. Sigh. Anybody call these numbers or have a story to share regarding these hand-lettered ads? We’re all ears.

    Hmm. Maybe the first phone number is his cell, and the second is his mom’s? She’s been bugging him to whittle down that collection in the basement.

    Something about these signs just reeks bogus. But the dude seems to have sold 3 more books since I took this pic:

    I received a letter in the mail like this which was addressed to me (no return address). It was 6 pages (some front and back), half written by hand, half photocopied. Just repeating “Bob Marley” over and over and occasionally “UCLA”, “The Exorcist The Movie”, “Twix”, “Blacula”, “Saw 5″, “Socrates”, or “Arcata” mixed in.

    Umm…
