Q: What's an eBastard?
A: An eBay Seller who claims to combine shipping/handling but charges $12(USD) to ship a necklace & earrings set.

Q: What's an Effen eBastard?
A: An eBay Seller that leaves you a Neutral then a Negative Feedback for noting such facts, even though you left them Positive Feedbacks.

Verbatim...

(Item 1) [Pos FB by Me] Doesn't really combine shipping, but quick, good comm and beautiful item.

(Item 2) [Pos FB by Me] Doesn't really combine shipping, but quick, good comm and beautiful item.

(Item 1) [Neu FB by eBastard] negative person, this is not a community service, ne need to be that cheap.

(Item 1) [Follow-up by Me] Left me poor feedback for mentioning no combine S/H. Who's negative? You!

(Item 2) [Follow-up by Me] Pads his profit via S/H. Multiple item winners, be careful!!

(Item 2) [Neg FB by eBastard] HARRASING, NEGATIVE,CHEAP PERSON! AVOID!!!

(Item 1) [Follow-up by eBastard] why don`t you read description? i say u are biddin on 1 clip, not lying here!!!*

(Item 1) [Reply by eBastard] ASKED BEFORE BID AND TOLD HER MY DISCOUNT $1 ON SECOND.NOTHING IS FREE!!**

(Item 2) [Reply by eBastard] OF COURSE I PROFIT! WHY I SELL SOMETHING FOR $0.99 BUT NO LIES!***

(Item 2) [Reply by Me] Wow. Crazy bitter seller. Should've waited like him to leave Neg FB on 2nd item.

* Confused as to which buyer he's bashing. Was meant for another item and buyer.
** Not true. I asked after I won both items. My bad. Lesson learned.
*** Sellers who make their $$ from S/H instead of from the actual items suck. Don't ever count on them to combine S/H. Duh. My bad, again. Lesson learned, again.

Cruise Control

I'm going on a Cruise in 78 days!!! Where you ask? The Mediterranean!! It starts in Barcelona, Spain and ends in Venice, Italy. I really should be fasting now in preparation for the required cruise gluttony--3 square meals, plus whatever they provide 24/7. Going on a 12-day cruise, I'm determined to take my gym clothes and get some sweat time in the gym. I must or I'll be waddling off the ship when we disembark! Which is not sexy for boy action. I'm counting on the Euro Boys to have some yellow fever. Hmmm, will he be Spanish, French, Greek, oooooooorrrr Italian? One of each?

Better than Vegas, Europe is even further away with language barriers. What happens there, stays there, right?

We shall see, but I'm anticipating a new found freedom to be not myself in Europe.

License Plate Madness

Awhile back, OCG came up to my neck of the wood for some shoppin' and coffee. In the mall parking lot, we walked pass this obnoxious looking truck. A quick glance at the license plate beckoned a closer examination.

Me: "What does that say?"
OCG: "Ummm, Faker Force?"
Me: "Hmmm... OMG! *expletive expletive expletive*!!!"
OCG: "WHAAAA?! No way!!"
Me: "What else can it be? I'm trying very hard to come up with something not dirty."

I told the story of seeing that license plate for days after.

So yesterday, Artsy Gal and I went to Home Depot and picked up a few cheap paint brushes. As she was getting back into my car...

Artsy Gal: "OMG!! It's *expletive expletive expletive*!!!"
Me: looked at what she's pointing at "I don't believe it!! We have to take a picture!!!"

We both got out of the car and proceeded to take several pictures. Not a thought in our heads that the owner could be right around us. Shamelessly, we snapped away, giggling. No, the owner didn't show up, but I present to you the evidence:

I know. You're so jealous of this monster beast of a truck. How do you get into it?? A ladder must come down when you open the door? Wait for the close up... Ready??

Use your cleanest imagination and tell me what you think it says?

Now, if this plate was on a Volvo Station Wagon, I would think I'm the dirty birdy with my mind in the gutter, but the truck matches perfectly with the message of the plate, no?

In hindsight, we probably should have waited for the owner. It would have been very interesting to see what he looked like. (No, I 100% don't think it's a girl's truck.) Oh well, I'm sure I'll see this piece of artwork again around town.

Until then, this was too good not to share!

Tag-licious

I've been double teamed tagged by MJ and SGB! Since I don't read much (refer to #86 on 100 BCOL Revelations) be nice to my listings.

The Secret Lives of Men and Women: A PostSecret Book - Frank Warren
* I can't get enough of the blog and all three books. They contain both the most humorous and most heart-breaking of secrets. It takes such bravery to share secrets and speaks volumes of the human spirit.

BreakupBabe: A Novel - Rebecca Agiewich
* Blogger turn novelist. If you've read her blog, which has turned almost inactive, you can see why it's turned into a book. She has great writing style and anyone who's gone through a breakup can relate to this book. Too bad she doesn't blog like she used to.

Why Do Men Have Nipples? - Mark Leyner & Billy Goldberg
* Fun book to read aloud with friends. Far from a biology book and nothing I read was like, "Wow, really?" But a fun leisure read, none the less. Personally, I think the reason men have nipples is because they'd be even funnier lookin' naked without them.

Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book - Vogue
* It's a reference book, but a must have for knitters. I love having my bonnet on, sitting in my rocking chair, and knit & perl baby booties.

Sorry if that was lame, but that's the best I can do!
