Friday Time Suck Find something ridiculous on eBay that you would like to win and post it here.[More:] Here's a pig in a suit you can eat an egg out of.
Dog tuxedo!

I used to have these Caruso curlers when I was a teenager. They were the bomb!

If that isn't ridiculous enough, how about these? My kids are obsessed with Honest Abe and George Washington. I would also need to get this print for their bedroom.

You're totally buying into their marketing. You don't "win" things on ebay. You buy them. Something that costs money isn't a prize.

Sorry if I seem dickish, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

More troll dolls. I am frighteningly fond of troll dolls.

Searching for garden gnome brings up all kinds of ebay goodness. Like this. Or this - scroll down to burn your eyes out on her fantabulous wiggling backgrounds. I fear Ebay. Sometimes I think Ebay is proof that the world did in fact end some years ago and we're all just watching a video run by the elder god machines with their tentacles of loving grace.

dagnammit, I thought there was a contest going on. I'm all for winning free swag!

mining claim. I just want the creek and the trees and campsite. Not so interested in the gold.
posted by small_ruminant 28 March | 14:31
I'll take that gold off your hands, s_r. After I finish the Land Cruiser biodiesel conversion, I figure I can gold-plate the thing.

I want that octopus necklace so bad, lfr, but it would turn my neck green. Which is somehow oddly appropriate.

Chihuahua belly button ring! I had one of these, when my navel was pierced. I had so much cute belly jewelry, all off of eBay. Too bad the piercing itself ended up being too uncomfortable to be worth having.

Fisher-Price Little People A-Frame House. Totally my favorite F-P building.

And OMG, a clock made out of forks and spoons.

I gotta stop looking, at ebay and this thread.

Oh, man, my dad had that Landcruiser, similar lights and bullbar and all. Then a red one, but petrol, but in which he put a 350 Chev. Then he inherited my grandfather's bright yellow F350. That thing got 13km to the litre.

I also love the clock with fork and spoons.

mgl get it anyhows, and if it turns your neck green, think how awesome that would be to accessorise for a zombie cruise - there are no drawbacks here.

BP I love you so very, very much. *smooch*
