Turkey Milano and crazy ebayers
For lunch today I headed over to the Atlanta Bread factory. Every time I go I stop and carefully mull over the menu for a moment, and then order the same thing every time. A turkey club milano, and whatever soup happens to catch my eye at the moment. I always get the whole sandwich as well, because the whole sandwich also comes with chips and a pickle. You simply cannot have a turkey club without chips and a pickle.
So, anyway, because I’m half deaf I cannot hear them call my name so I poke my head up every few minutes to see if my order has arrived. After a while my order has still not arrived, but there is a half order that’s been sitting up there. So I wander up and peek at it. Sure enough they only gave me half and half of the orders. So I had to go to the cashier, fix my order, and pay an extra 2 bucks, and wait for them to cook my other sandwich. It would have annoyed me if I did not have a secret crush on the cute little cashier who wears too much eye shadow.
Alan has been trying to remove an old tree stump that resides in my back yard. Not a simple chore he has been working the past few days on digging the entire thing out. Last night as he was digging he uncovered and ancient cache of garbage. It was a large jumble of old cans that had rusted together and fused into a single rusty mass. Who knows how long they have been down there. My house was built in 1918, so sometime in the past 70-80 years someone decided to bury a bunch of garbage in the yard. Makes sense, they probably did not have a great garbage service in the 1930’s.
A bit hard to see in the pic, but the dark brown glob is a large hunk of fused metal.
So I have a bid and half a dozen watchers on my evil clown on ebay. Today I received this strange email:
HELLO! I REALLY LIKE THIS CLOWN AND PLAN ON BIDDING. HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO PAY IF YOU WIN? JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE ONE BID YOU HAVE FROM LOOKINGFORHAUNTEDDOLLS MIGHT BE TROUBLE. ANOTHER SELLER CLAIMS HE IS FAKE BIDDING JUST TO RAISE PRICES.SHE PUT FAKE BIDDER ON HIS BID RETRACTION SO I ASKED HER WHAT SHE MEANT BECAUSE I NOTICED HE'S BIDDING ON A LOT OF DOLLS BUT HAS THE NUMBER 0. I HOPE HE DOESN'T RAISE THE PRICE TOO HIGH FOR ME! I CAN'T SAY THIS IS 100 PERCENT TRUE BUT I THOIGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW. LISA
To begin with, the kind of person who types in all caps is exactly the kind of person I would expect would bid on a ‘haunted’ doll. However, I have no idea what is up with the haunted doll ‘fake’ bidder. Is there really someone out there running around and driving up the market price of possessed dolls? Whatever for? He does not seem to be a deadbeat bidder. He just places one bid on a haunted doll and then moves on. Curiously, there are a lot of haunted dolls on ebay, and some of them fetch outrageous prices.
I watched the new ‘Ghost Hunters’ last night. The only good thing they caught was the spooky evp that sounded like it said ‘We are coming!’. They were investigating a house that had a possible inhuman infestation. I like the fact that when they played back the evp to the women, they decided not to tell her what they think it’s saying, but for her to make her own decision. Personally, when I was watching it every time the EVP played the closed captioning would say ‘We are coming!’ so by the third or fourth time they played it, that’s what exactly it sounded like to me. SHOULD they have told the woman that? Not unless they wanted to scare her. But I like the fact they kept it professional that way.
My shoes stink today. Actually, they stank yesterday. I meant to put some gold bond in them this morning, but I forgot. Not I have to suffer through some stinky shoes.
