Try my haunted pilowcase http://auctionchronicles.com/stories-make-you-easy/need-insomnia-try-my-haunted-pilowcase/ http://auctionchronicles.com/stories-make-you-easy/need-insomnia-try-my-haunted-pilowcase/#comments Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:35:24 +0000 http://auctionchronicles.com/?p=81 After several nights of lousy sleep and clear suspicion from her cat, chillypenguin737 began to suspect that her pillowcase must be haunted. After a few clinical trials, which included leaving the pillowcase in the closet, testing it on her husband and continually gauging her cat’s reaction, she determined that she was correct, and that the pillowcase must indeed be possessed.

Although there is no guarantee that the powder blue nuisance will retain the aforementioned haunting when it meets its new master, chillypenguin reassures the lucky bidder: “at least you’ll know that the pillowcase has a history.”

Then she broke her ankle in a door. Because no one in her family is even ” a pound over-weight,” she feels the culprit is clear: It’s the Crocs. The Crocs are to blame for every injury she and her family have endured in recent times. Some people just think they’re ugly… this woman finds them malevolent.

Therefore, she would like someone to buy her (size 7) pair to help pay off her medical bills, and then promptly burn them. With a day and half to go, the spongy footware is fetching $113.08.

Visit the Death to CROCS! auction. UPDATE: Looks like you can’t get there anymore – the auction has disappeared without a trace.  I’m guessing this is because Ebay doesn’t want to be sued by the makers of Crocs.

With well over a day left in the auction, the used highlighter has been bid up to $2.54.

I have an overdeveloped sense of affection for office supplies myself. Think I could get better than retail for my half-used notebooks?
