EBay as blogging tool
 Did you ever read about the guy who sold his leather pants for $138,000 because his description rocked?  The question and answer section alone was worth the archive.  He later sold postcards for a lot of money with the promise of driving mad the person of your choice.  That was Brian Sack, known also as The Banterist.

Here's another Brian Sack one where he's selling a book signed by someone "more famous" than he is.  Not as insane an item as the other two, but the quote below made me stop and write this post.  Thank you, Nicole, for sending the link.  

"Famous people are better than we are. They’re smarter, more attractive and have health insurance. Fame has made tiny, tiny Bono a larger-than-life figure.  Fame is presumably the only reason a pretty, young woman would ever marry Donald Trump. Fame is why Ashton Kutcher is alive instead of floating in the Pacific."

I made polenta with gorgonzola and porcini mushrooms for breakfast.  Then I checked my email for the 20th time and thanked divinity for my blessed life.
