I sent this guy an email letting him know that I saw his heart, in the backseat of a Dodge Stratus, headed eastbound on I80 near Chicago, and that by now it's probably well into Ohio, he might catch it if he hurries.

Not really.

think that, but way funnier. internet site where you can browse locally or not so locally for a job, a new guitar, a car, drugs, a one night stand, a TV...

it's amazing.

and i make about $1000 a month selling stupid crap on there that i haven't used in ages. i sold a leather vibrating office chair for 30 dollars more than i paid for it new.


I sold an old SG I paid 250 bucks for 10 years ago, and had not put a dime into since for 850 bucks a few weeks back.
I once bought 200 vicodin from some old lady off there as well, she gave them to me for 125 bucks. I ended up giving them to my landlord in place of 2 months rent.
That my friends is what America is all about.

On a sorta related note, my good friend, Mike Young does "product reviews" on amazon. I think they are a particularly funny body of work.


enjoy!

Wow. I have read some of your friend's reviews previously.

Your friend is a funny, funny man.

Mike Young, regarding THE FOG DVD wrote:I did enjoy this movie a lot, but I have to say a lot of the time I had a hard time seeing what was going on.


Funny!

Thanks!

his review of "Lost In Translation" was even better (check out the title line of "Not Nearly As Good As Garfield")

He reviewed a Horace Pinker CD.

Mind, blown.

kerble, after we finish "The Book Of Rank", we will move on to "The Book Of Amazon Product Reviews By Mike Young".

These product reviews are uniformly great. The defibrillator review almost made me piss myself. And this review of "The Accused" made me laugh while also making me very, very uncomfortable:

"If 'Pressure Room' left you wanting to see more of Jody Foster, check out this earlier work of hers from the 80's. It's a compelling film, though I couldn't buy the filmmaker's argument that pinball leads to sexual aggression. That's a theme which has been run into the ground and proved wrong through research. But this is the movies, and movies are supposed to entertain. This is a very entertaining, sexy movie. If you're a Jody Foster fan or just a fan of sex thrillers you'll love this DVD."

Salut, Mike Young, whoever you are, you crazy son of a bitch.
