I did it for my amusement and its humor factor but I was expecting at least a tiny bit of activity. I offer
There's real value in this auction, you know. The custom story by a fantastic and humble author has to be worth a quarter all by itself.
Now go and bid on my auction or I will pout like a little bitch.

Jim, I swear, I was going to bid on this the first time you posted, but I honestly couldn't remember my ebay id. Anyway, there. We wouldn't want you to pout like a little bitch. Besides, this could be fun! (And it'll rate me some more points too, right? *wink, wink*)

Woo hoo! A bid! Clancy is my new favorite reader!
I thought about adding some Snooze Points to the auction but I think it's important to retain the absolute incorruptibility, nay the veritable holy sanctity, of those coveted items.
Then again, if it'll make me money...

Now that, my dear Jim, was very very funny.
It's along the lines of the reason why I always buy household products named "Joy" and "Glad". Cause it's always funny to buy a bottle of Joy, it must be even more heart-warming to buy tidings of comfort and joy...

And at bargain prices too! These Tidings are available at a fraction of the cost of "Glad" or "Joy" products.

I don't know, I wouldn't be too adverse to Jim pouting like a little bitch for a little while, as long as there were pictures taken and distributed on the web, of course.
Another cool idea though!
Perhaps I should put together an auction to sell someone a "Clue"? I've got a few to spare and I know there are quite a few people out there who could use one.

That's it, Pylorns. No tidings for you. I hope you've learned your lesson!

Well, I saw this on
MetaFilter, and decided to bid. If I win, could you send me a Christmas card, too? That would be fantastic.

Johnny- thanks for the plug on MetaFilter.
Clancy- you're like Harold in "It's a wonderful life".
jch- If I sent you one I'd have to send one to everybody. Like parents and siblings and people like that.
Pylorns- As long as I can stand under cows I'll be fine.

Gotta love MeFi!

My auction for a
clue is up and the timer is running!
Spread the word! Who needs a clue? I'm sure there's a few people in your life that can use a good clue. I wish I could post it to Metafilter but I'd get heavily, heavily smacked down by the powers that be.
