A Biscuit?!?!

This week on eBay we have some pretty creative items. One of which is an empty bottle of lotion. Yes, regular skin lotion. Just not the lotion…only the bottle. Sounds kind of weird but o.k. This is particularly amusing because it follows along the same lines of the paper airplane mentioned earlier in the blog.

Also or sale is a “special cologne”. It is supposed to attract women no matter who they are. It is obviously another scam but it is funny how people would be desperate enough to buy “Whole Sale Sex Love Pheromone”.

A box of Domino Sugar is also for sale. It’s for $36…that’s a little much for just a box of sugar. I find it curious how the seller says that you get the box of sugar…and then everything else you get is a “gift” from him to you. It sounds like to me that if you will this auction, then you are certainly getting something extra; especially with the suggestive picture of a woman’s lips with sugar on them. I would be interested to see what else actually would come with the auction.

The next item makes my top ten list of totally insane, absolutely stupid things to buy on eBay. A biscuit! Yes, a warm flaky leftover Thanksgiving Day biscuit. It is just a normal, everyday biscuit that anyone could bake. But surprisingly, there have been 22 bids for this piece of bread. It is being sold for $80.90!! People are actually trying to buy this thing!! What would you do with a biscuit? It’s a complete waste of money! What is the world coming to?

Viva La Relativity!

Want a tree leaf? Buy it on eBay. How about a “Kinder Goth”? More specifically a variation of a Cabbage Patch Kid, except turned Goth. The blood, black and white, “spade eyes”, its got everything. It's legitimately scary and is a really bad birthday present. But who knows, maybe a kid out there would like it.

Have you ever wanted to go even more Gothic than a kid’s doll? There is more than enough options to get styling! There is the leather/latex mask that is worn with zippers over the eyes and mouth. Then there is the ever popular cats-of-nine whip with the metal ends! What about the male shoulder and arm restraints? Maybe a leather restraining swing to put out in the front yard for the kids to play on? Sounds like fun to me…

One thing I found that I thought was pretty funny is a remote for the opposite sex. For example, the remote for women includes, “Mute, Give me: Beer and food, cook, clean, and stop: nagging, moaning and whining”. Some of the controls for men are: “Ego off, flowers, chocolate, massage, say no, say yes, propose, tell truth, put toilet seat down, and stop: snoring, farting and belching”.

Something I have never seen before that I also found is a “switch blade comb”. It is literally a switchblade style handle with a metal comb for your hair that flips up and is ready for use anywhere at anytime. It actually sounds kind of dangerous. I could totally see is in a remake of “Grease” the movie one day.

“Viva La Relativity!” as a Che Einstein would say. Einstein has actually been put in place of Che Guevara in this novelty poster. I thought this was pretty funny and note worthy of a last item on this weeks list.

Max...the Heroic Poodle

A dog has been mans best friend since the beginning of time. They serve and protect us when we need them the most. Just as our good friend, Thymewarp, shares his flowery dog story. In short, his poodle, Max, saved his life one winter when he was a small child when he fell and broke his leg deep in the woods. He told Max to “Go get Dad” and soon enough, he was back in the comfort of his home with a cast.

We soon find out that his story is a complete lie. He claims that it is just that easy to make up sympathetic dog stories like his own. Thymewarp is selling a portrait of a poodle for ten dollars to anyone willing to pay. He also says that if the auction reaches $35, then he will include a box of fake “dog ashes” to compliment this pitiful portrait.

This is a pretty worthless item. I see no reason for a portrait of a poodle that is not even my own dog. An interesting concept...

We also have yet, another creative item for sale on eBay this week. This is a Coughing and Screaming Lung Ash Tray. The ash tray is in the shape of a chest with lungs and works supposedly works as another way to quit smoking. This is a pretty unique item because I have never seen it anywhere else. It is actually kind of gross because of the open lung concept and the screaming. I guess that sounds good to quit smoking though.

Who’s ever played hot potato with a hacky sack, tennis ball, or maybe a hot…potato? What about a shock ball? Apparently, a new fad is to play this childhood game with a ball like device that actually shocks you. I guess you just pass the ball around and at a certain point in the game; it turns on and delivers a slight shock to the hands of the unfortunate person. Somehow, this does not sound very fun.
