Who Needs eBay?

A headline from Yahoo! News:

Million dollar bid for Lenin body

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The head of the Russian Buddhist region of Kalmykia said Friday he was willing to stump up $1 million to give a new home to the embalmed body of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin.

Is there any way I can get in on the bidding? I'm presently in negotiations for ownership of Michael Jackson's adolescent nose and Joan Rivers' cheekbones. Those items, along with Lenin's intact remains would be the beginning of a very eclectic ongoing collection of celebrity anatomy. Any information regarding said bidding would be most appreciated.

Bridge Burner - Mother-In-Law

Are you tired of maintaining a pretense of civility with your mother-in-law?

Do you feel a burning need to convey how much you truly despise her?

Are you prepared to sever all ties with her and possibly incur the wrath of your spouse in the process?

If you've answered yes to all three of these questions, then allow the form letter below to guide you in burning this bridge. Feel free to personalize it to your own specifications.

Dear Depraved Harpy,

I believe the time has finally come for me to address certain key criticisms about me you feel at liberty to incessantly whine, dribble and moan about. Your rather scathing and unsubstantiated accusations regarding my parenting skills and your unsolicited marital advice have been duly noted and will be the focus of this correspondence. I'’m presenting my views in writing because I wish to illustrate that you'’re dealing with a rational, intelligent person and not some inarticulate, knuckle dragging brute (as you are prone to think of men in general, you man-hating, testicle-cutting troll).

To begin, allow me to commend you on your own child rearing abilities. Instilling such a spirit of independence in your children thus paving the way for them to live as far away as humanly possible from you is certainly something to be proud of. I'’m certain their decisions to keep their distance from you had nothing to do with the fact that you'’re an obstinate, overbearing, pedantic, manipulating premadonna with a martyr complex. In regards to my own parenting skills, I can only admit that I am by no means perfect. I possess numerous flaws and eccentricities that can be considered by many to be a bit unorthodox. However, I have it on good authority that you were no paradigm of exemplary motherhood yourself. Evidently, you were as effective as a parent as FEMA was at disaster relief.

As far as my marriage to your daughter is concerned, I'’ll thank you to stay out of it, okay Dr Phil? I don'’t consider marital advice from someone who hasn'’t had an orgasm since the Ford administration to be particularly helpful. The lifeless expression on your husband'’s face, his mirthless demeanor, and inability to express independent thought or offer opinions that conflict with your own, are indicative of a man counting the minutes to his death, not one that'’s reveling in the throes of marital bliss. Just because you effectively neutered your husband doesn'’t mean your daughter should follow your example.

A few final points:

I believe you to be slightly less intelligent than the stupidest person alive. The fact you walk upright is the only indication that you are a higher primate.

Your opinions are as worthless as a Florida voting booth.

You'’re a warped, malicious little shrew of a woman whose only joy in life is fucking with people. If there is indeed a hell, it was created just for you and Hitler.

I hope reading this gives you acid reflux or another comparable gastric disorder.




Sincerely,

xxxx

Shock Value

I'’ve never found the messages in fortune cookies to be very compelling nor particularly prophetic for that matter. More often than not they convey nebulous predictions and archaic maxims devoid of any real meaning. I'm of the belief that such messages would be far more entertaining if they were presented with a bit more imagination.

"“You'’re going to be hungry again in an hour"”

"Congratulations, cigarettes won"’t kill you! You'’re cancer will be pancreatic"”

"“A bird in the hand can'’t crap on your shoulder"”

"Your mother loves your sister best"”

"“You will receive very good news today...Not really"

"“Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow is the Rapture"”

"“You'’re ugly"

"“You can lead a man to water but he asked for beer you idiot"

"Take your time eating, there's no sense in walking into a home invasion is there?"”

"“You really didn'’t need that fourth trip to the buffet table, sparky"”

For Art's Sake

I made an honest effort to publish my novel through conventional means; hiring an agent and waiting around like an idiot in the hope that someone in the publishing industry deemed it profitable enough to not stuff it under a large pile of paper on its way to the shredder. Well, so much for that crap. I waited long enough, nothing came of it so I fired my agent and moved on with my life. As much of an ego stroke as it would've been to see my book in paperback or to cash a royalty check, I never really saw myself making a living at writing. I find the artistic outlet much more rewarding. With that in mind, I offer my novel to the general public free of charge. The link to my novel can be found below my profile, I encourage anyone who's interested in a fun read to click on to it. Enjoy.

Keeping It Real

Scenario: A guy has one extra ticket to game six of the World Series he can offer to only one of his two best friends. He likes both friends equally and they both want to go to the game, leaving the guy with a tough decision to make. Not wanting to choose between them he leaves the decision up to fate with a flip of a coin. Having lost the coin toss to best friend #1, best friend #2 proceeds to congratulate the winner.

What Best Friend #2 Says: "“Dude, what can I say? You won fair and square, congratulations. We'’re all best buds here, I'’m happy for you. If not me, I'’d rather the ticket go to you than someone else. I hope you two have a rippin'’ good time at the game. Go ahead and get drunk for me!"

What Best Friend # 2 Is Actually Thinking: "“Miserable bucktoothed bastard. He would pick tails wouldn'’t he…...little faggot. You just love tails don'’t you fuckboy? And this ticket-havin'’ cocksucker over here; I hook him up with bales of free ganja every week and the prick'’s flippin'’ coins to see who goes to the fuckin' game with his bitch ass. Ungrateful fuckstick. Oh yeah, get drunk for me, yeah right...I hope you both choke on your own vomit you fuckin'’ mutts!"

Moral Of The Story: Honesty isn't always the best policy.
