My eBay adventures began nearly seven years ago, when one day I wanted to relive my childhood & bought myself an Atari 2600. With that single act, I unleashed a monster from deep within me that now runs feral with my bank account numbers.
It feeds on my primitive desire to win. (c'mon man, just bid higher)
It rewards me with random surprise packages from the Man in Blue when I return from work. (much love to our civil service workers!)
I buy stuff.
Then I sell that same stuff.
I just can't stop, and today I found something that made it worse.
Much worse.
You'll probably have an eBay problem too - you just didn't know it yet.
My eBay obsession was Atari 2600's. At one time, I loved them in all their crappy beep beep boop-y goodness. But as of today, no more Ataris for me. Forget what I'm selling, or what you may see me bid on before today... as a few hours ago, my eBay life changed.
I have a new eBay fascination, and it comes in the shape of a bowl.
Actually, two bowls.
And Jon Stewart.
And the words of John Edwards.
This eBay thing is just a little too crazy these days for me to keep going like I've been. I need to plan our savings so we can have a house of our own, in Boston, and now damned eBay has me craving for some Plame broiled mini burgers.
Can someone please help me?
And by me, I don't really mean me.
I mean you.
And by you, I mean those of you heading to Yearly Kos!
In caes you didn't realize, the lastest batch of progressive goodies was launched tonight on eBay, and is eagerly awaiting your bids. This auction is possible due to the generous donations of various artists, wordsmiths, dignitaries and us pajama-wearing latte-sipping rabid sheep.
Please take a minute to peruse the magnificent offerings that the yKos crew has put forth, and bid as generously as you can.
And by bid as generously as you can, I mean bid on everything except any auction you see me bidding on - just back off, kiddo. This fruited jello mold can put an eye out.
Remember - your generous bids help finance Yearly Kos, the first and only grassroots convention with presidential appeal. So if you can't be in Chicago to get your yummy electoral fill, then lend a hand & bid! Win a prize and help keep the people in our people-powered movement.
Thanks!
(unless you bid on one of my auctions.)
((in that case, go Cheney yourself. and stuff.))
