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.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

I'm just wondering if this flighty high-calorie pyrsyn is also in the news today for other reasons....

Don't breathe down my neck, no

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris.

Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
