For My Friend Diane

Thanks to Two Nervous Dogs I've discovered what has to be one of the absolutely funniest item descriptions ever put on eBay. It's for a router table. Here's the listing. Here's just one quote:


This table comes with no warranty from me. I never bothered to try to take it back, even though it was under warranty because I was so ticked off that I knew I would create a scene when I threw it through the front window of Home Depot. So it sat in my basement for a few months, and now you have the opportunity to own this piece of scrap. If someone had some time they could probably work on it a bit and make it into something that's functional. Like a doorstop or maybe a paperweight. But it will need some more work before it's that good.

You've just got to read the whole thing, right through the additional comments. It's truly hilarious.

Thanks very much for the link. Unfortunately I have spazzed (ow) and it's now broken (the post of mine you are linking to is gone, gone, gone). Wanted to let you know so you could adjust yours if you wanted (or get rid of it altogether or whatever) so your visitors don't go off a cliff to nowhere and think it's you being lame. It's me. Sorry for the trouble! Thanks again. :-)

Here's something I'm trying to sell on ebay which is much more useful, Jeff.

Money for the afterlife!

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
