what the **** is a “booth”?
Retard.
No, not quite. I think a booth is something different.
And for everyone that doesn’t get this (just read below at the plethora of failures).
STD is the fail. Google “STD and figure it out.
A flea market is just a huge yard sale with what I call “professional yard sellers”.. It’s the place you go to buy velvet elvis paintings, bootlegged CD’s, half-rotten produce, the occasional diseased doberman puppy, and a fried bologna sandwich.
Everywhere else in the world just calls them a “market”.
Actually, it’s preferred that they are called STIs because infection is more accurate than disease.
STD is more descriptive than STI, because the acronym STD refers to
the disease not anything else.
> Everywhere else in the world just calls them a “market”.
Nope. “Flohmarkt” is a very prevalent term in German.
(That may even be the origin of the English term, as in “eigenvalue” and “kindergarten” and so on.)
Bratwurst.
Strudel.
> Nope. “Flohmarkt” is a very prevalent term in German.
…As is “Loppmarknad” in Swedish.
…and “pchli targ” in Polish.
and “bolhapiac” in hungarian language
pronounciation: bolha pee-ats
try “microsoft sam”
“Vlooienmarkt” in Dutch.
“Marché aux pusses” in French.
The French term is the original, according to Oxford.
Also “kirpputori” in Finnish. Not that anyone cares…
me like ur decription
Actually, in many European languages they are also called flea markets. Using, of course, their words for ‘flea’ and ‘market’
it stands for Springfield Tool & Dye
I have seen and been around flea markets my whole life. I have never seen any of the items you mentioned in my entire life at any flea market, no matter how podunk the town has been.
flea markets are large buildings with anywhere from 25-1000 “booths” basically a cubicle. Each booth is rented out to an individual who has items to sell. These items range anywhere from household, collectibles, BNC products, avon, antiques, etc.
I bought something once at a flea market for 2.00 and resold it for 3800.00 trust me you can find a lot more than “rotten produce”
A bathroom booth is where you can get STDs.
Just don’t tap your foot inside the booth next to you. You might find a vicar and a potato you weren’t looking for.
I told you I wasn’t tapping my foot. I have a palsy.
That’s what Larry Craig said too.
booth = 2 a: a stall or stand (as at a fair) for the sale or exhibition of goods
ALSO: b (1): a small enclosure affording privacy for one person at a time (2): a small enclosure that isolates its occupant especially from patrons or customers (3): an isolated enclosure used in sound recording or in broadcasting c: a restaurant seating arrangement consisting of a table between two high-back benches

For such a small feller, you know impressingly big words, Bob!
You tell’em!
Thats cuz he gose skook!
He does what with a skunk now?
I believe ErickBMoomin meant to say,
“Thats cuz he gose SKOOL!” (school)
Coffee is Ready!
No no…he meant to say, “That’s cuz he goes to skulk”!
Pfft. Skool. As if.
how you think i gotted my Ph.D.?
At the flea market?
Shhhhhhhhhh! (Or i’ll tell them how you got your degrees)
Hint: Madagascar, blue candles, rubber ducks, and a Speak & Spell. REMEMBER?
That’s it. Just for that, I’m telling your skwerlfriend about that time in Kuala Lumpur with the marmoset and that aphrodisiac salesman with the eyepatch.
Ooh! Thanks for sharing, Dragon! I gots to go to Kuala Lumpur some time soon! (Bob, you’re coming with me!)
ErickB, was your mom a drinker?
Ummm, now that you mention it, I think I may have seen her drink before. And eat as well. How odd. Perhaps that is where I learned it as well.
MMMMMmmmmm drink…. I could kill a bear…
first
Epic failure.
Indeed
LAST!
not anymore – welcome to FAIL.
NEXT TO LAST!
I dare you to comment.
For anyone wondering:

“STD stands for Springfield Tool and Die, the story behind that is once the owner retired he was left with these huge buildings that he turned into flea markets.”
Umm, and before anyone asks, “A die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing industries to cut, shape and form a wide variety of products and components.” Like a mold for metal.
die?!?
*masturbates*
masturbates?!?
*dies*
And we all know
whowhat a tool is.But who/what is a Springfield?
*Sings* Spider pig, spider pig. Does whatever a spider pig does. Can he fly? No, he can’t. ‘Cause he’s a pig, spider pig. LOOK OUT — It’s spider pig! *Ends horrendous singing*
i used to live in springfield and i never knew that. ergo, you are awesome.
also, the STD flea markets are actually REALLY AWESOME flea markets.
Wow I live in Splf and no clue thats why it was called that, kuddos to you!!
I live in Springfield too,…. it’s called STD because it stands for Shop ‘Til (you) Drop. Poor choice either way….. Also there are STD East and STD West stores too… haha
Really???
I actually go to this very flea market all the time and I never knew that. I always wondered what S.T.D. stood for. At one time, they had some radio commercials for it where people would speculate on that. My favorite was “Spanking Tommy’s Dalmation.” LOL!
I think this is the one downtown. There are two of them.
I think that’s where they has the smex….o.O
STD = Springfield Tool and Die
This is the second time my city has been on failblog. I’m greatly saddened. We ‘r’ fail.
lmfao, what’s the other one? *lurks*
I have been there before. There are 3 of those places in Springfield Missouri.
Hey, if this is the one in Springfield, Missouri the side of the building is even more amusing… Their motto is “New, Used, and Abused”… LMAO
First off.. I live in Springfield, MO and love shopping at this particular flea market (they have great things for reasonable prices). Today I had the overwhelmingly joyous experience of telling the owners about their “internets fame”. They were sooooo confused. lol. They didn’t understand at all about why they would be on a fail blog or what a fail blog was. I told them it was because of the name. They were still confused. Sad sad. Of course they got mad when I chuckled at the fact that they didn’t get it and tried to explain and gave up. too funny.
lol, this place is in Springfield, Missouri, USA
The billboard behind it used to be for Cox Health Care System,
For years it read “Cox. Where Babies Come From.”
being the first to say: i don’t get this!
…and failing there, too.
i don’t get it either… so… they are selling fleas there? or is it because of std?
It’s the STD, a flea market doesn’t sell fleas.
thank you sir!
That will be £5 for my premium analysis. Or $7.4765.
Is that the real exchange rate? How depressing for me.
yeah, or it was when i posted.
Better than it was a few years ago
fail: S.T.D.?
fail: flea market?
explain pls
omfg, r u serious? you dont know what a flea market is? its like a swap meet, ever hear of one of those?
that is a normal term and is definately not the fail. the fail is the name of it is STD..
and you epic fail with that one…
joe. not everyone lives in america. i know this is hard to imagine but its true.
Good point, not everyone does. Barack Obama lives in wonderland and just thinks he lives in America.
Pundit Kitchen is three doors to the left, down the hall.
“Bye now!
But… how is this possible? The whole world knows all and envies all things American… how could the universe not know coloquialisms native to only a few people? Inconceivable! Unpossible!
i know some1 with his surname beeing usna thinks the other 6.4billion ppl dont live? std doesnt stand for anything in holland and flea market is just a cheap market.
So what’s the collective noun for multiple Moomins?
Herd ? Group ? Horde ? Board meeting ?
I believe it is a Git of Moomins.
Now just a cottin pickin’ Moomin. Or, how about a “New York Moomin”? Then there’s a Georgia Moomin!
Let me try it…..”A board meeting of Moomin”…..
“A luxury selection of moomins”. Or maybe “a cluster of moomins”.
Since they are all bananas, wouldn’t it be a hand of moomins?
what if it’s moominses huh?
moomineaux…
The moomineaux fly nourth every winter……I don’t think tie sound quite right
moomini ?
That’s what a moomin wears to the beach.
But it doesn’t cover much. That is, at least, it doesn’t cover what should be covered.
Well, wait just a cotton pickin’ moomin. Who says that anything needs to be covered at all? I say, we just all take off our moominis and make ourselves a private failblog owned moomin nude beach! Woo hoo!
*Tears off moomini*
A murder. A murder of Moomineaux.
Can’t. Our dear friend Crow has that one locked in.
Yep, got that group covered.
A murder of crows are we!
That sounds about right.
Clearly, a fail of Moomins.
actually lol’d
Yep. me too.
Mrs. Broccoli?
Here’s the cheese sauce you ordered. Shall I pour it all over you? Or did you want to just take a dip?
Broccolis don’t like cheese sauce, silly.
Because it’s NOT cheesy being green.
*Replaces Cheese Sauce with Ranch Dressing*OOPS!
I just remembered it’s Mookie we are talking about!
*Replaces Cheese Sauce with Raunchy Dressing*
a squeeze pile of moomins?
a *SQUEEZE* of moomins
Someone squeezed too hard and got some moominaise on the carpet
I’d say that was the proper squeeze then.
*squeezes ErickB* Is that proper enough?
Uh-oh. *changes ErickB’s diaper*
You did that so you could powder his bottom! Your intentions are transparent.
So’s this blouse I’m wearing…
*looks again*
*SQUEEZES the fluffy moomin*
*back strokes away*
*fluffSQUEEZES the Erick moomin*
*jumps down the toilet and swims to the sea*
WTF?
And just for the record, what’s the plural for Moomin:
“Failblog has several resident Moomin”; or
“Failblog has several resident Moomins”?
What about Moomii?
Let me try…”A fail of Moomii”…
*announcer type voice*
In other news, a large fail of Moomii took over the internet this morning in a discussion over the latest local hotspot, the STD Central Flea Market. With over 200 booths and a fine dining establishment known as the Crotch Cafe, you can choose from the currently running specials on syphillis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Also popular? Anal warts. But don’t worry, we have plenty of stock on hand. Fun for all!
Conveniently located on 25th Street West, next to the Avian Flu Walk-In Clinic and Walgreen’s Drug.
Wow, I was eating yogurt while reading that. I suddenly no longer feel hungry. Anyone want some yogurt?
I’ll take it… Thanks, Ry. *tastes* Wait, that’s not yogurt… *gags*
What is it? What does it taste like?!?
Did you buy it at the STD market? Ry, how many times do I have to tell you…
But the lid was hardly pulled back. I thought it was safe.
Well, now we know what happened to the Moominaise.
It tastes like…*inserts potato joke*
So this itching is either the clap or fleas? I think you need to narrow it down a bit, doc.
*applauds then runs*
*sits, then spins*
Watch out boys! We have a spinner on our hands or on something.
***masturbates***
*takes pictures and feeds the dog*
Strange Moomin avatar you’re having there, Mookie.
I’m into bucking the trend.
Well that’ll be your problem right there…I treated Trend last week!
DrB, are a you a real doctor, or do you play one on TV?
Clap or fleas? Well, which booth did you go to?
*clap clap clap*
opps!
Actually it’s a win
It’s a win for the herd of virusses and the board meeting of bacteria.
I don’t know which is more fail, the sign or people being to inbred to not get the joke.
I get the joke, but it is not all that funny. But on the other hand, who said that fail has to be funny? Come to think of it, it actually IS funny. What am I rambling about ?
Perhaps you’re chuckling because your subconscious has linked the ‘Conquer the Midwest’ sign in the background with the one in the foreground!
Observance win !
you forgot an “O”
and pls explain joke, as you seem to get it
“too”
I’m sorry, what?
He/she was blowing his/her horn.
and he/she accidenty the last “t”
*lol*
I think you meant “too inbred to get the joke”, Sir.
Oh right, I see what’s happening now.
If I ruin the joke, please delete my post, but I feel I have to clarify it for those who don’t get it.
S.T.D. = Sexualy Transmitted Diseases ( Gonorrea, HIV, etc )
‘Flea Market’ is a term to name a market were they sell many used things, it’s not actually an error in the sign.
P.S. I don’t wanna know what kind of service do you get on those Booths…
You didn’t ruin the joke, as the joke sucked in the first place. You just managed to make it suck even more.
I would say in this instance it was appropriate to give an explanation, since so many failed to see the fail.
To be fair, if English isn’t their first language, they probably wouldn’t know the term STD.
I beg to differ.
Here take a coin and 100 shares in Lehman Bros and go get yourself something to eat.
LOL
You know I love it when you beg.
And I love it when you differ, so you are covered for all occasions
Good jorb. Do they not have flea markets in the us of a?? I dunno why so many people didnt understand that! Kids these days…
I don’t think flea markets feature in many TV shows or videogames.
What a shame, it could make a great set up for a RTS. “Sim Fleamarket”.
tss, ur wrong!
I think u can buy alot of booths there!
all fail, ehehe
This is a good one very funny. Deserves a round of applause *clap clap*.
Now now, you’re playing favorites. *syphillis syphillis*
*chlamydia chlamydia*
“Chlamydia”. Wouldn’t make a bad name if I had another daughter. Or no, make that “Candida”.
*thinks*
Meet my daughter Candida, and her best friend Thrush….
But with Chlamydia, you can call her “Clam” for short.
Ignore the facial hair, she has a rare disease.
Yeah, I love the rhymes Doris laid down with Diddy. Their album drops on the 16th.
*touches her Doris* *smiles*
My stepmother’s name is Doris. *shudders* I now have a truly nauseating visual.
I have a different name for her, behind her back.
Let me guess…. Stank-Ho?
I call her Oogna, She-Walrus of the North.
Has she lost her bukkit?
She is far less attractive than the bukkit-less walrus. Less amusing as well.
Where was this taken. I think that I have seen this sign in Springfield, MO
Wow… A quick google maps cross-check and it is true… It is Springfield, MO….
My home town….
That’s some nice detective work there, Chief Wiggams.
Mmmm Throwed Rolls!
Throwed Up Rolls? You shouldn’t have eaten that “yogurt” first!
They have one in Sikeston, MO too! A friend got a set of salt and pepper shakers there for me.
I lol’d.
I have a photo of this sign too. The place was sold or something and is now a welding shop. I miss my giggles every time I would go by the flea market.
Yup, Springfield MO. I see this sign every day. Strangely, I’ve always felt compelled to check it out, but I never have.
Let me suggest that the big fail here is that the two billboards underneath are so much smaller than the big one on top. Why has no one else noticed this? I mean, they are so small you can hardly read what they say. BIG FAIL!
Perception Fail!
Perspective fail?
Grrr blogmonsters…
*tosses grappling hook up to Justace’s comment at 5am*
The S.T.D. Flea Market. Conveniently located next to the free walk-in clinic and Walgreen’s drugstore.
Comments are futile
*runs off to find Skwerlly Em*
*Hopes she’s a Skwerl again*
What kind of STD (Stoopid Toon Disease) might Moomins carry?)
Hi, Bobby! My guess is that you didn’t receive the memo I sent for you in the previous FAIL. And I quote:
“And, Bob, don’t worry — I’m just a skwerl in a moomin suit. All the cuteness of a moomin, all the fun of a skwerl!”
S.T.D. = abbreviation for Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
It’s a flea market for STDs…
Got it?
What was that word again ? Oh yes: “redundance”.
Deja Vu all over again?
Groundhog Day…. or the Energizer bunny… it just keeps going, and going, and going….
Redundant, superfluous and redundant but so were the questions.
Wait, what does STD stand for again???
:p
I don’t know and I don’t know where to look it up. Maybe someone will post it here.
STD- sexually transmited disease
whats ur name again Daniel?
Be gentle, he was traveling on a plane last night.
Must be the clouds in his eyes.
I hear Spain is really nice this time of year. *asks Egg to meet her at the airport*
I’ll come with, Ry. We can drop in on Lou, too.
Bobby and I will be joining. That is, as long as the trip ends before the Winter Nuts Festival.
yeah!
want to go to spain too, like the snow.
In those hundreds of booths, /someone/ is going to have the STD you want.
STD Crab market would be funnier
Now you are being silly. There is a Herpetic Crab Mart 3 miles down the road where you can get great seafood or at least stuff that smells like tuna.
But looks like yogurt.
More like cottage cheese, no?
Tastes like yeast, tho.
*bakes some bread*
No throwing!
Oh, let’s make some cheesy bread!
Um, Mookie, I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it to your Christmas party…I believe I will be sick and/or busy.
Katy, your moomin looks like a clam!
*peers more closely at picture*
Or a mussel. Or some sort of bivalve marine life.
Actually, it was a water lily.
I just changed it, though…I’m waiting on it to show up.
Um…that is no water lily. That is a clam.
Or a mussel. Or some sort of bivalve marine life.
(Seriously…what IS that??)
It’s a hand holding a potato
It’s too hard to see.
*hangs curtains*
*pretends to be a potato*
*peals with laughter*
Gimme back my socks!
Hmmm. It may be a bit too dark. What do you all think? Can you tell what it is?
Maybe if you used a white skin potato and somewhat smaller. I’m pretty sure the Vicar didn’t use one THAT big, though if he was experienced enough….
Clickie my name to see an awesome potato.
kkkkaty, I was trying to find you a more clear hand and potato, and found this. (clickie my name, again)
Fluffy, I’m a little frightened that you found not one, but TWO pictures of obscene potatoes.
*scooooooootch*
I really was doing it for you, Katy, but now I’m thinking this might be a fun new hobby.
Alright then, here’s a task for you:
I want a picture of an obscene potato WITH the face of a saint on it.
Actually, I want the real thing. I would SO sell that puppy on Ebay.
Katy, that still looks like an enormous clam.
Or mussel. Or some form of bivalve marine life.
I can’t find a better picture.
I did, however, find all kinds of useless information on potatoes. For instance, did you know there is an entire chat room specifically designed for the discussion of all things related to potatoes?
Sadly.. these things are in my hometown. In fact, they are the first thing my husband noticed, because of the name. We both still get a laugh out of that..*sigh*
There are actually more than just the one..
Well, speaking as the only real doctor here, I…err…ehm… Dammit, that also happens to me in the practice all the time.
What kind of doc, czuhc?
GP. No PhD. No STD either, I’m pretty sure.
*hands czuhc a giant Q-tip thingy* Here, you better swab yourself just to be sure.
*gets out the speculum* Turn your head and cough czuhc.
*hands Ry the latex gloves* You’d better check that prostate. It felt a little dodgy to me last night when we were… uh… nevermind.
How’d this potato get in here?
nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, what’s up doc?
*pushes scotteh out, closes curtain* Scotteh, please. This is a professional examination. Go wait in the waiting room.
But scotteh feels his pain. He just had a peeler removed.
Those strippers get into the darndest places!
Been to Lowe’s, eh?
I always get my skanks confused.
I swear I was just looking for a shovel.
And I suppose you read “Bigguns” for the articles and not just the pictures of rifles.
Wait a sec, just how do you know what’s in “Bigguns”?
*gentle cough*
Technically and historically speaking, persons with a medical degree are “physicians” while persons with a PhD are the only real “doctors”.
(And yes, I know that’s changed. But still…neener!)
You called? (Dragon)
Hi! Apparently I did!
*hug*
A potato, obviously.
Potatoes are always obvious.
are potatoes the obvious answer to question 21?
This reminds me of one of Avis’ articles… In a nutshell, (no pun intended) there was a tumor, an ajar door, a butt, and a doctor that actually only specializes in hemorrhoids, not painless non-surgical tumor-removal procedures. Oh, there was also a brief (also no pun intended) section on anal entrance, and speculums. Click on Avis’ name-linkie-thingy next time she comes around here, scroll down a bit, and you’ll see what I mean.
Here, let me make it easier for you.
Ummm, Em-whatever-you-are-this-week, what was your point?
I think the confusion is that this is in the g-rated version, which it should not be. People don’t think the STD reference can be the fail because it would not belong in the g-rated version.
Why would anyone go to the g-rated version?
Because he is 14 and “someone” keeps covering his eyes while fondling a certain sailor.
Wait, you had a sailor all this time and didn’t tell me… Share fail!
Mookie, you can go to the STD market and get one of your own.
More like shore fail, the 5th fleet was in.
Because my 9-year old daughter loves the site.
My grand mother just loves flea markets she finds the nicest things there.
comment fail.
how so?
Ignore the rude trolls, Elbad.
not rude… actually got me to roll out of bed laughing.
just imagine an elderly woman perusing through the booths, with random
sex toys and other “items of interest” lol
My mother once found a bong at a flea market and said, “Oh, what a pretty vase!” I had to steer her away quickly before she pulled out her wallet.
I accidenty the trolls
What should you do??
Oh…wait. You did it. Nevermind! *grin*
I am comment
In Soviet Russia, comment pwns you!
OK i’m in bed and bored as hell…
in bed Soviet Russia bed pwns boredom
Good mushroom year guys!
What’s the thing with Moomin? Every other person here from Finland?
Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV,
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It’s the country for me.
.
*slaps Kukka with halibut*
Nah, I’m not Finnish. But, technically, Fluffy (Or “Fluffster”, as I would like to call her, if she’d allow me) is already Finnish. So is that there halibut.
I actually had to have the whole moomin thing explained to me as well, but now I’m just a cute little moomin among many. My guess is that others have simply heard of it, or seen it in their country / place they lived in at the time, and followed the Finnish trend, bringing it to failblog. Then again, this is just a guess, so you’ll have to ask Mikey D, who I believe was the first to have a moomin avatar.
I think I’ll try a different store, thanks all the same.
Bored!
All this stoopid Moomin carp and SDT carp is redicitiolous!
And the continual Potato(e) jokes (?) show the need for professional analysis for a few of you.
Today’s comment quality is way down. I know it was probably early and your brains weren’t functioning yet, but this is a FAIL Blog based on QUALITY input.
RIGHT?
Skwerlly Bob, you know you aren’t allowed caffeine at breakfast.
Either that or he caught trollinitus from Zurack yesterday.
Or one of his alter egos.
Hm. That is more likely, isn’t it?
Let Go My EGGO!
Guys, let me settle this, alright?
*Takes off moomin suit, puts on tiny red dress, red lipstick, and “come hither” look* Hello there, Robert. You want me to come to the Winter Nuts Festival, right? Well, you won’t get any of this if your caffeine-filled talk and troll-ish attitude continue. Please, Bob, just have a little bit of wine, or some walnut brew, and “calm down” on the couch with me. Okay, hun?
*HAS MORE CAFFEINE! (SUPER GRANDE TRIPLE SHOT EXPRESSO)*
*EATS COFFEE CAKE (COVERED IN COFFEE GROUNDS)*
YAY! HOO HAAAAA! TO THE BLOGMOBILE! AWAAAAAY!
Come On! We can run down TROLLS and CORRECT GRAMMAR!
jezus man, hard to read
Bob, you know you aren’t allowed caffeine at breakfast.
*thwacks Blogmonster again for eating this comment the first time it was posted*
ahhhhhhhh a blog monster *hides under blanket*
*calls Chuck Norris*
I think Chuck Norris IS the blogmonster, and he keeps roundhouse-kicking comments into non-existence.
Hey, I’ve seen this before-this is in my town!
Conquer the midwest? Anpu would rather go to that std place than conquer the midwest. The midwest sucks.
Correct me if I’m mistaken, but isn’t his name ‘Inpu’? I have no idea who this guy is, and I do not have the attention span to stick around and find out, but from the comments of yours that I’ve seen, his name has always been ‘Inpu’.
OMG!
My city makes Failblog again!
I know the feeling. My city made the front page with ‘Amigone Funeral Home’. Believe it or not, that (Amigone) is actually the last name of the family that owns the funeral home. I always laugh when I go by the home, and I wonder why that family would, of all things, choose to own a funeral home.
wow! I get to chose what kind of STD I want! cool, over 200 choices….
gross…
didnt know there were 200!
Must go to that town to check it out, lol.
Actually, I have been to all the STD Flea Markets….they are in Springfield, MO, where I grew up, and are great places to look at antiques/junk all day. When I saw they made the fail blog, I had to smile!
Same here! I live just a few blocks away from STD Central, they are some of the best flea markets in town. The name is such a joke around here, it’s great to see this crop up on Failblog.
The STD stands for “Springfield Trading Depot”, in case anybody is wondering.
I live a few blocks from there and have considered sending in this picture before. holla
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAYYYY SPRINGFIELD!!!!
I was just thinking about sex too…..now not so much….at all……damn!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN! Every time I visit one of these sites it’s always something!
I have actually seen this sign in Springfield. Never had the chance to take pic though. Its great.
With multi locations in Springfield to help infect the masses quicker.
that is so freaking funny. wow.
This flea market is in my fair city. There are two of them with this name.
S.T.D. stands for Springfield Tool and Die. The flea market is in the old S.T.D. building.
Hey Ben S.—- nice stuff!
Bus Driver
Springfield MO! Holla, there are like 5 of those, Springfield Tool and Dye flea markets…real classy….
This is in Springfield, MO. They have all kinds of stuff there. Pac-Man drinking glasses, samurai swords and throwing stars – you could spend a whole day discovering the most random stuff there.
I have been makin fun of those for years….cracks me up till this day!
Oh my god you beat me to it! I was planning on taking a picture of one of these in my hometown…in fact, I think this was from my hometown, judging from the fact that the signs in the background look familiar. Every time I drive by one of these places, I have a good chuckle.
std stands for sexually transmitted dieseses. LOL
this flea market is in Springfield Missouri. i have been to this place several times. just don”t use the toilet. that’s how it got it’s name.
I want to reserve a booth.
EPIC
OMG I live not a mile from that store.
This is in Springfield, Missouri. There are a few locations and they play up their name big time. They have signs reading “the new, used, and abused.” and all of their ads on radio have some sexual innuendo. Good stuff there too.
If it’s the “STD” market, shouldn’t it be a crab market instead of a flea market?
Hey! This place is in my town! I’ve always made fun of the name.
What town is it in? I can tell by the sign to the left its from Missouri, but i cant figure out where. I live in MO and just want to make sure that its not a product of my town’s stupidity
Actually. This photo was taken in Springfield, MO. The STD Flea Market is the original buildign for Springfield Tool and Die, a tool manufacturing place. When the flea market took over, they just kept it as STD. And as most of you know, back in the day it was called VD, so STD wasn’t a point of interest until here recently.
I know it takes the fun out of it, but hey! Maybe someone learned something!
And by the way? A booth is a partitioned section for each seller where they sell their items. It’s like a room with only 3 sides.
omgosh! This is right down the street from me!!
I live here! There are actually five of them around town. (These are in Springfield, Missouri.)
I live right near one of these – Springfield, the land of the venereal disease flea markets! Surprisingly, you can find some pretty good stuff there.
Dude, lol, these are in the town where I go to college and there are like five of them. Way to go Springfield, MO

This place is in southern Missouri… I’ve been there a few times… It’s a great place… But it is sorta like a local joke.. Yet they haven’t changed the name… Rofl.
