This week's "I'm From Rolling Stone" recap is now up on the SFGate: Culture Blog. If you ever wondered what I used to write on my Pee-Chee in school, I suggest you read it.
Now I'm completely nostalgic for Pee-Chees. Are they available anywhere? A vintage pack on eBay? Please? I just want to turn that basketball into a human head one more time. Man, I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
I remember seeing something that looked like a Pee Chee at some office supply store, except it was blue. a blue pee chee. doesn't really make sense.
I'm slightly embarassed to admit I still have some of my old school pee chees in a box somewhere in my closet. I should dig them up and scan them. I remember I always drew a mod suit on the running guy, complete with skinny tie, and would always give some of the other guys huge afros. LOVE the human head basketball thing, though; I was never that clever.
I shouldn't even be saying this lest some other stationery-obsessed person outbid me, but I'm biddin on a fresh, virgin Pee-Chee right now on a certain well-known auction site.
update: It went for seventeen dollars. We could be PeeChee tycoons right now if we'd had the foresight to snap up a few hundred of these things at .25/each back in the olden days.
Ho lee crap. 17 bucks? There's got to be some kind of stationary store out in the boonies somewhere that has a whole pile sitting on a shelf....
In related news, I found one of my old ones from junior high, and I am still contemplating posting images of it. It's pretty damned embarassing what with the song lyrics and earnest quotes plastered all over it...
