Me: Hey, Pip. Do you need to look for anything while we’re here at Target?
Pip: OOoooooh, yes! I need a monocle, some cogs, some copper tubing, a right-handed glove and some hinges.
Alas we only managed to find one item on his list…
PS Why does he need them? For a steam punk sculpture that he’s making for art.

Target didn’t have a monocle?
They have really let their standards drop. tsk!
Ridiculous, I know! Where is the bargain hunting monocle wearer to go?
You have “Tar-jay” in Australia?? Who knew….
It’s probably all over the world.
Is it a Michael Jackson steampunk sculpture? Where do you even get a monocle? For the rest of that list I’d reckon a hardware store.
He bought a cheap pair of reading glasses and plans to cut them in half. It was my Pete’s idea. He’s a thinker.
Hmmm, you mean it isn’t for a Sherlock Holmes/Michael Jackson Danish Robot?
That’s all I got.
It sounds a lot like what he’s got too.
