• Bucky: "Hello, Caller, Do you have an interior decorating problem I can help you with?"

Caller: "uh... yeah, I have a spare cabinet door that I can't use, but I don't want to throw it away..."
Bucky: "mm-hm, mm-hm. i would paint it gold, hammer some legs on it, and call it a coffee table."
Caller: "I guess I could do that... it's got a busted hinge on it, though..."
Bucky:"oh, broken hinges are VERY 'collectible' right now. paint it gold, hang it on the wall, and tell people how great it is before they can form their own opinion on it."
