freethefly 6 #1 December 6, 2004 Some folks on ebay are selling a walking cane they claim contains the ghost of their grandfather. As of this posting they have a bid in excess of $5,000.00. Last week someone made over $28,000.00 for an old grilled cheese sandwich they claimed bears the likeness of the virgin mary. I saw the sandwich and I do not see it. Besides if there ever was a virgin mary, no one knows what she would had looked like. I am considering grilling some sandwiches on which I will be searing the likeness of famous dead folks. The bidding for my grilled portraits will start at $1000.00. To start I will be offering two grilled versions of the virgin. Jesus himself and pappy Joseph. All my holy grilled visions of christ and family will be fried in extra-virgin olive oil to assure the public of their purity. I, also, have several piles of dogshit that bears an uncanny likeness of Jerry Falwell. Buy the whole set now for just $30,000.00 and I will throw in, absolutely free of cost to you a dead weasel I found on the road the other day that is the splitting image of GW Bush. But, serious, one can put anything on the market and some dimbass will buy it. They laughed at Thomas Jefferson when he packaged and sold horseshit as fertilizer..... At the time he did this, one could gather horse crap just about anywhere. I have always said " Put a price tag on it and sooner or later some moron will part with his money". Making absurd claims that can neither be proven nor debunked is a great marketing tool. If I say that an ink stain on my shirt is a likeness of moses the devout will flock to worship it. I see that these people can easily be parted from their cash. Make some souvineers of the blessed event and watch those blessed dollars roll in. Gotta go....Ebay calling....Whoo Whoo"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's missing, that may not be a likeness "...absolutely free of cost to you a dead weasel I found on the road the other day that is the splitting image of GW Bush." Weasel...Bush... that might be the real deal - better call the White House. As for tything, it comes i many forms. It seems the more you give, the more you care is the theme. It is a joke.... how do I cash in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBSB52 0 #3 December 6, 2004 Look at this, all these gravy trainers sucking on board. I think this is the original EBAY scam: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19270&item=5541303695&rd=1 It's only at 550, so I odn't know what's up. It was said this was at 5k. _______________________________________________ Then there's these people selling domain names: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19270&item=5541669851&rd=1 _________________________________________ GRANDFATHERS GHOST IN VACUUM CLEANER BAG SON AFRAID Bahahhaahahaha..... who sucked up gramps? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=88433&item=5541576770&rd=1 My son was so afraid of his grandfathers ghost that I felt it necessary to put my fathers ghost on here for sale, As he was keeping us up sometimes all night, But last night I said to myself enough is enough so I got out the trusty vacuum put in a new bag switched it own and turned it on my fathers ghost. What you are bidding on is a new electrolux up right vacuum cleaner bag with my sons grandfathers ghost inside, Please help this is not a joke! All I ask is that you send him a letter telling him that you have his grandfather still in the bag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently there was a remarkable resemblance to grilled cheese sandwiches.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

freethefly 6 #5 December 6, 2004 In a vaccum cleaner? I saw the story on Good Morning Amerika this morning didn't catch the part about the electrolux, just the cane. Gramps in a bag of dust? That is even funnier than the cane. I just went to your link to ebay and saw the $550.00. Don't know why they said $5000.00 on GMA. Man, are these folks scamming or what. People are willing to send money just to help "poor, little Collin". You know, this ain't a bad scam. Tug at some dimwits heart string and you can be assured that soon you will clean out their bank account."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

bch7773 0 #6 December 7, 2004 whats interesting is that it was sold for 1,200 buy it now option... it looks like the seller was in it for the money all along... a $1200 buy it now option for something she only wanted to sell to "help her kid" and the ghost "cancelled the previous auction"... more like she wasn't gonna get enough money for it. at least the person who bought it has a record of bidding and not paying...
