Part II - Perhaps We Need to Discuss Your Sanity...
I had so much fun exploring eBay "conversation pieces" last week, I thought I'd take a gander at some more.
You are welcome to comment with any discussions you think might be inspired by these lovely things. I'm at a loss. Further to a "WTF?!" or "Damn, that's tacky", I think the purchaser would be pretty luck if anyone says anything about the item at all, instead of simply mentally crossing them off their associations list straight away.
Rubber Popcorn Ball!
Description:
"Here is an unusual thing ..... a large rubber popcorn..........You can throw it ..use it as a paper weight or do whatever."Notice the lack of enthusiasm in this description. Because even the seller has no freaking idea why someone would actually purchase this.
"You're The Best" Certificate
In the Description:
"Let us know if you want to customize the subject heading of this award or you can keep it as it is titled "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY".And:
The perfect gift for spouse, husband or wife, or a boyfriend or girlfriend! They will really love this classy display of your affection!"
Because I was convinced that this "classy" certificate declaring me a "shmoopie poo" had been issued from a legit institution!
Gator in a Bikini!
(Enlarged pic here, btw. )
This realistic alligator guards your favorite vintage with a friendly smile!I can see it now:
"I sure was fooled, Perry! I saw a 9 inch, smiling alligator, holding a wine bottle and wearing a bikini and I was like, 'OMG, is that the real thing?!'"
