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.
