i'll underbid my factoree here, I'll take them for 25 cents each... you
pay shipping. (at one point I was actually paying for them but I have
enough now). Not using them is kind of a given, sadly. If you live in
the US, shipping will be less than to Simon, since I live in the US too.

Freudian slip part deux: What Bruce meant there by rolls was: Spring
roll, Dinner roll, jelly roll, etc.
Isn't it worth 25 cents a piece to you not to have sharks eating Timmy?
Send them to me, yes it's more, but I promise no mutilation (unless
that's what you WANT, then take your custom elsewhere, bucko...).
