Brush over this - BOO!
In yet another chronicle from the bizarro e-bay files, check this one out. It's someone selling a ... haunted paintbrush. Man, this is crazy sh*t! I thought selling my old Docs and Outback Red stuff was hard - how are they going to get rid of this? Well, maybe somebody will really want it. It's amazing what people will buy on e-bay. But don't look at me, I don't want some Vincent Price-y art supply in MY house.

INSPIRATION
So, I hate telemarketers. I mean, I just hate picking up the phone and hearing "Mrs. Defarniscsico?" (or worse yet, is the man of the house home?) I have a horrible last name for it, and it is my key to knowing that the person calling is a stranger - well, that and caller ID. It's kind of lucky, you know, to be able to figure out who those "Unknown"s are right away. Usually, I let those go. But, yesterday, Amy and I decided (after some inspiration) that we were going to start picking them up. I got one, from AT&T, offering me a free cable guide magazine. WHaAAt? So, we added some flair.

AT&T: Hello, ma'am? I am calling today from AT&T to offer you our free...
Me: Frog?
AT&T: ...?...Ma'am, no... it's a magazine, our cable guide, sent to you free if...
Me: Well, I don't know if I care for that! Tell me this, I mean, I'm really looking for some kind of pet. What kind do you think I should get?
AT&T: ...
Me: I want a cat.
AT&T: Um, all we have is a magazine. You can get it if you sign up for...
Me: Tell me this- does it come in some sort of box? Because I am thinking- well, at least that's reusable.
AT&T: No, it's a magazine.
Me: Where are you calling from?
AT&T: AT&T Broadband, ma'am.
Me: Oh! The ATF? Well, I don't believe in any of the three - Alcohol, Tobacco, or Firearms!
AT&T: No, AT&T Broadband, cable services.
Me: Oh, well, I don't believe in wires.
AT&T: Would you like the magazine?
Me: Only if it comes in a brown wrap- I don't want people to know I'm getting THAT!

Needless to say, now we fight over the calls.

Good Times Monday

To give you some fun at boring ol' work today, here's your Monday finds:


A. A quiz - Which WB Drama are you? I got Dawson's. I am PSYCHED! Watch out for fiddy-cent words, y'all!
B. Check your biorhythm. Don't know much about all that, but here it is.
C. Nice time waster - look at all these album covers, and how many others have ripped off the art.
D. Disturbing, but interesting... this guy has cadavers on display as art in a touring show. Look if you have a strong stomach and are interested in body stuff.
E. And what is tastier than that? Ah, a jello aquarium! Make your own! How fun would this be?


Talk it up.
