I Bid A Grand on What?

LauraW notes an ebay auction for a "mystery chip":

This is a true blue straight up mystery chip. It's the rarest of the rare! Plucked from a bag of Lays Salt N Vinny chips on September 28th, the mystery chip looks just like a cowboy boot! Perfect gift for any cowboy or rodeo fan. Act now!

Look, obviously this would make a fine addition to anyone's collection of oddly shaped potato chips. And it goes without saying it's a coversation piece that you'll treasure throughout the ages.

But $1,230.00 for one (1) potato chip? And it's not even a ruffled-style chip.

Damn! I should have put up the obscene chip I had. Imagine what I could have made on one that looked like pussy!

My all time favorite potato chip story (yes, I have one; don't you?):

On The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson had a guest on, this old woman, who brought her collection of potato chips that resembled famous people. Jesus, Richard Nixon, Elvis, I forget who-- but lots of them.

Anyways, she's showing them off for the audience, and Johnny tells her to turn and face the camera. With her back turned to him, he grabs a handful of non-famous chips he had stowed under his desk and starts eating them. The little ol' lady whips around and looks at Johnny in abject horror, thinking he ate her chips.

Damn funny stuff, from an American original.

Cheers,
Dave

Dave, that was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my entire life. I don't think I've ever laughed harder.

Hell, just thinking about it right now makes me chuckle.

One of the member stores in my trade association was hired by the seller to specially pack and ship that chip to the buyer.

He better do a good job, I have a feeling that its not insurable.

Let's see, a seller with a rating of 5 who hasn't bought or sold anything in 18 months sells a potato chip to an obvious imbecile (judging by his username) with a rating of zero. I'm finding this hard to believe.

But just in case, I'm going down to Wally World to buy a couple of cases of chips.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
