Here’s another thing that I didn’t know was a thing

but that I almost bought tonight:

A man almost sold me one earlier this evening, when I made the mistake of walking past the souq on the way home.

It has all the bandwagon jumping emasculating hipsterness of a ukelele, with none of the redeeming emasculating hipsterness of a ukelele. I could be like the guy who shows up to a rollerblading slamdown (I believe that’s the official term) wearing 20 year old rollerskates. Except in the times before the retro craze made that cool (but not so far back as to predate the invention of the rollerblade).

Anyway I’m totally going to go back and buy it when I have less happy hour in me.
