Norman was at the Case Lot Auction yesterday and I'm telling you, he was extra giddy, having brought along a woman we'd never seen before, who he seated at the end of the second row, so he could keep an eye on her.
I should mention that we are fairly fond of Norman, and that in the past he has had some interesting things for sale, especially those fleece lined hats with the cat ears on top and if he'd had any more of those yesterday, quite a few of us would have bought them.
Usually the highlight of the auction, as far as Dave and I are concerned, is the free pizza, but I'd have to say that the climax of the show yesterday, was when Norman produced several large boxes of toys, most of which appeared to contain rejects from "The Dollar Store."
He shoved his hand inside one of the boxes, pulled something out, and I'm not kidding, he actually started jumping up and down, so we figured he was feeling fairly pleased.
Norman tossed whatever-it-was at the woman sitting in row two, who seemed at first to be startled, then flattered, and then looked nothing but embarrassed as she examined a keychain attached to a rubberized nose-shaped toy which, when squeezed, produced a snot-like substance from its nostrils.
Painfully aware that half the people at the auction were watching her, she hastily added it to her pile of swag, and slumped further down in her seat, but I watched her for another minute and when Norman looked her way again, her cheeks turned red and she smiled.
