3/4 mil guitar?

Thu 2005 Jun 30

A Fender Stratocaster guitar originally bought and played by Jimi Hendrix was put up for eBay auction at (get this).. $750,000.00. No lie. To my delight, not a SINGLE PERSON bid on it. I am SO happy that the public realizes that there is no such thing as a guitar that is truly (note the word "truly" there) worth 3/4 million. What would this guitar be actually worth? Nowhere near 3/4 mil, that's for sure.

I also loved what happened in the Q/A section of this auction. The store who put it up for bid got PANNED like crazy for putting this thing up for such a RIDICULOUS price.

Now you too can enjoy your Jedi powers right as you start your day with a Light-Up SaberSPOON.

I like the fact they mention it's "not dishwasher safe" and "not microwave safe" either. Well, yeah. Putting an electrical item through the washer or microwave isn't the smartest move in the world, now, is it.

And one knows you can't eat cereal with a SaberSPOON without having your official R2-D2 Snack Bowl.. which is also not diswasher safe or microwave safe.

Breakfast with batteries. Mm-mm good!

I hate my car dealership

Sat 2005 Feb 19

My truck was in for service this morning so I had to take a crappy '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue loaner car until they were finished with it. Here's an actual shot of that car's steering wheel, untouched (for real, it's really like this):

taped misspelled note on steering wheel

Yes, "courteous" is spelled wrong.
