GiggleSugar — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:00:00 -0800

Alas, the bidding has ended on this awesome oil painting of the heart-stopping moment an Iraqi journalist threw his shoe at former President Bush. It sure would have gone well with that Pottery Barn furniture in the White House.

eBay Find of the Day: The Jenny/867-5309 Phone Number

GiggleSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 08:00:00 -0800

With six days to go, the phone number that Tommy Tutone made famous is on eBay and, at the time of this writing, has a $75,000 bid on it. (WTF?!) If you have no idea why anyone would pay two pennies for this number, much less 75 grand, click here. Well, you'll just get acquainted with the song; you still won't have any idea why anyone would pay that much. (I wish this were my number; I have some student loans I need to pay off!)

eBay Find of the Day: Vintage Pocket Vampire Slaying Kit

GiggleSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:00:00 -0800

Attention fearless vampire hunters, eBay has an item up for bid just for you. (Fans of Twilight's Edward Cullen can look away now.) It's a vintage pocket vampire slaying kit! (Practical, eh? Now I'm not going to feel so guilty for looking in vain for the Tuesday/Wednesday doll on eBay.) The parts of this vampire killing kit are vintage, but it's been creatively repurposed, as they say. It comes with a crucifix, wood box, screws, and metals. If you want to know the details of this item and to see more pictures and read hilarious buyer questions, read more.

Here's more from the eBay listing:

Q: Do you have any reviews by vampires or slayers who can confirm the claims you are making? I simply would not feel safe in the graveyard with a pocket-sized product with no quality assurance from a professional.
A: Sorry, no reviews. This is the only kit, so there are no previous ones like it to attain reviews. And I expect that any vampires who have come in contact with this kit are dead, so they cannot review it either.

Q: If I buy this kit and it later proves to be ineffective and I get turned into a vampire, do you offer a money-back guarantee?
A: This kit contains actual items that, according to what ancient lore says, will work on vampires. If you have this kit, and still become a vampire, I can only assume you didnt employ the kit effectively, or you were seduced by the seductive vampire, and those things are not my fault.

Q: What is the diameter of the stake and how much pressure can it withstand before breaking? I don't want to be caught driving it into the heart of one of those foul beasts, only to have it snap before it hits its mark!
A: The stake isnt really round, kinda carved squarish except the point is round. The top of the stake measures about 3/8 ish square,give or take. This stake and kit is a back up measure, as in if you dont have a big stake, and you are about to die or become bitten and live forever, than this is what you would want in your pocket, versus nothing at all. You may need a rock to pound it home to the heart though, darn sternum being in the way and all. But I think it would make it, it seems sturdy and long enough, unless the vampire is rather portly.

Q: Is this kit guaranteed to be effective against vampires?
A: Heck yes. The stake is real wood, assuming you can get it into the heart, the holy water is real holy water, and the garlic is real, and the crucifix is real, so yeah, this kit will work in a pinch, if you dont have a full size kit with you. Thanks!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Whoa! This is one intense item up for sale on eBay! Let's see how the seller starts off, shall we? "Up for sale is this yellow t-shirt left in my home by the man who is giving my wife the goods." Gulp. Ready for more? "I can only guess that this shirt had become stained with sweat and love gravy forcing him to take one of my shirts." Yowza! I dare not continue to quote him, but I must. Well, actually, I changed my mind. Click here if you want to get creeped out further. Hey, maybe this was cathartic for this poor bastard!

eBay Find of the Day: Advice From a Teen Genius

GiggleSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:28:47 -0800

Who needs friends, Dr. Phil, or Dear Abby when you can get advice from a teen genius? This handsome fellow will answer the winning bidder's five questions, as he says, "truthfully and to the best of my knowledge." Answers will be given to such burning inquiries as "how to make something, good sweet tea, pumpkin pie, amazing omelet . . ." But his teen genius doesn't stop there. He claims he can also tell you when he thinks you'll die and why. (Eek!) I didn't know that "a proven IQ of 165 which is considered a superior genius" gave you insight into the beyond. You learn something every day. Thanks, Teen Genius!

eBay Find of the Day: Pile of Ghost Poop

GiggleSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0700

Oh look, just in time for Halloween. The seller claims he found it on his doorstep and that it must be a gift from some ghoulish prankster. I have no idea why this thing exists, but more importantly, I'm not buying it. If ghosts are metaphysical and transparent, why would their poop be rock hard? Wouldn't it be made of holographic shadows or something? Nice try, buddy, but I can see right through you . . . see what I did there?

eBay Find of the Day: Kick This Guy in the Nuts

GiggleSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Looks like some kid thought he found a quick, not-so-painless way to pay his college tuition. Eighty grand for a single nut-kicking? Seems pretty steep since there's another guy running around giving them away for free. I love how this dude put a bidding price and a Buy It Now price. Just in case you were worried someone was going to outbid you.

eBay Find of the Day: Popcorn Motorcycle Man

GiggleSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:56:55 -0700

I can't tell you how happy I was, in the middle of the madness that is Mercury Retrograde, to be greeted with the following words: "You are bidding on a small piece of Crunch 'n' Munch popcorn and peanut flavored snack. The peculiar aspect of this particular popcorn product is that it is shaped in great detail like a small man with a peanut helmet cruisin' along on his motorcycle!" Do I really need to say more? He is indeed the cutest little helmet-wearing popcorn I ever did see.

I love when I encounter a string of words that prompt me to ask: "Has anyone ever said this before in the history of the world?"

Anyway, yeah, so...this little angel ornament here sits on your Christmas tree and makes a farting noise when someone walks by. And then it blushes. Ummm, cuz that's what Christmas is all about.
