Vinnies vidi vici

In the US, we all wish Goodwill towards men, but here in Australia it's Vinnies. Which is short for St. Vincent de Paul. And if it's not Vinnies it's Salvos, which is typical Ozzification of any name - chop of first syllable and add "o", so from Salvation Army we get...

I had an amazing scouring/meditation session and resisted the temptation to buy a heap of unnecessary crapola, but could not resist sharing just a few items - POP QUIZ!
