Your avatar is on my posts along with mine. Are you seeing it also?


OMG, your avatar is also on Anita's post and on Iron Chick's. WTH? ???

Heh...  See how much purtier I am than you are? 

Ummm...bell... it's too early in the day for 'ritas... 

PS:  I hacked your puter, that's what!

ROFL, I always wanted to be magenta color.


Stardust, are you not seeing it?

Well, it's okay, I guess, as long as I'm not stuck right next to xpp.... 

No, I'm not seeing it.  Been eating too many raspberries?  or plums?

Here's the newest Ebay song - long but worth it.

THE DAY THE MAGIC DIED



A long, long time ago...
We can still remember
How that magic used to make us smile.
And eBay knew how to take a chance
That could make our customers really dance
And, maybe, they’d buy SOMETHING once in awhile.

But July 19th made me shiver
With all the bad news Bill delivered.
Fee hikes at our doorstep;
We couldn’t take one more step.

I can’t remember if I hurled
When I read the price hikes Bill unfurled,
But something sickened me deep inside
The day the magic died.

So bye-bye, eBay's slice of the pie.
You drove my store to the ground,
And I wanted to cry.
Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."

Do you have any idea what you've done?
You could just have easily used a gun,
Will Bill shoot if Meg tells him so?
Do you not believe in us anymore?l,
If you do, will you try to save our stores?
And can you teach us how to selll REAL slow?

Well, I know that you’re in love with yourself
`cause you must have put your brain on a shelf.
We should have seen the clues,
Man, we've got the auction blues.

We're now lonely non-selling eBay bucks,
Covered with pinks carnations in a pickup truck,
Guess we knew we were out of luck
The day the magic died.

We started singin’,
"bye-bye, eBay, cause you suck
Bill, you screwed up my store

Could you be a bigger, er, Duck

Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."


Now for ten years we’ve been going downhill

But they just keep sending us bigger bills,
And that’s not how it used to be.
When jester Bill sang for Meg his queen,
In a coat he borrowed from L.L. Bean
He heard angry voices coming from you and me,

Oh, and while King Bill was looking down,
The shareholders took his thorny crown.
The web site was adjourned;
No money was returned.
And while sane men read his nutty remarks,
The eBay offices all went dark,
And we drank whiskey in the park
The day the magic died.

We started singin’,
"bye-bye, eBay, cause you suck
Bill, you screwed up my store

Could you be a bigger, er, Duck

Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."


Helter skelter in the August heat.
The sellers & buyers beat a hasty retreat,
Bill must be High and falling fast.
He landed flat down on the grass.
The eBay pinks tried to save his ass,
With Meg on the sidelines, where her corporate jet had crashed.

Now the air was sweet with the smell of doom
While we listened to the Big Buffoon.
We all got up to leave,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
Then the Store Owners tried to take the field;
But, the knucklehead refused to yield.
Do you recall what he concealed
The day the magic died?

We started singin’,
"bye-bye, eBay, cause you suck
Bill, you screwed up my store

Could you be a bigger, er, Duck

Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."


Oh, and there we were all in one place,
Google or Yahoo or some other space
Nothing to do but start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Bill your poor misguided logic makes me sick,
You being fired would be our only friend.

And as I read his lies on eBays page
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
As he set our many stores alight

I saw satan Bill laughing with delight
The day the magic died

We started singin’,
"bye-bye, eBay, cause you suck
Bill, you screwed up my store

Could you be a bigger, er, Duck

Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."


I met a girl who was sad and blue
And I said Is there any happy news?

She just cried and turned away.
I went down to my eBay store
Where I’d sold lots of music, years before,
But the man there, Bill, said I couln't stay.

And in the streets: the sellers screamed,
Landlords cried, and the children dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The auction site was broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
Cashed in their stock options,caught a train for the coast
The day the magic died.

We started singin’,
"bye-bye, eBay, cause you suck
Bill, you screwed up my store

Could you be a bigger, er, Duck

Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."


The world was singin’,
"bye-bye, eBay, cause you suck
Bill, you screwed up my store

Could you be a bigger, er, Duck

Bill & Meg were laughing, drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Sayin', "this’ll be the day that they die.
"this’ll be the day that they die."
