this isn't new but it just cracks me up STILL.


Weird Al Yankovi's song "eBay" (2003), parody to I want it That way by the Backstreet Boys


Yeah
A used ... pink bathrobe
A rare ... mint snowglobe
A Smurf ... TV tray
I bought on eBay

My house ... is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day
What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee)
They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your knick-knack
Just check ... my feedback
"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what erev'll please
As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case on vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcet poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why ... the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
(I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

LOl! Thanks for re-posting it. It has been a while!

Pez dispensers

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I remember when PEZ first came out. Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that!

OK Kids! That be me all the way.

Don’t know if it’s true, but I heard that the founder of ebay started it so his girlfriend could find Pez dispensers - urban myth?

Pez?
I had to google for that and still not sure what they are - look like sweets with bits of ribbon on them, but from what you say (or do not say ) that is not what they are at all - something that is not used for us males!!

That's what they are.

Your googling has discovered something I've never heard of. Don't suppose you could be, or want to be, more specific?

Pez

These are some Pez containers that people collect. Just an example of what they are.

S'OK, Rick - it wasn't google, but something that Dave said that I must have misconstrued - now what I know what a Pez is, I am happy.

Mike, I'm so glad you are happy...well, happy IS important! Knowing what Pez is...that's not so important.

I'm always happy, Shirl. Collecting bits of useless information makes me even happier!

Thanks Sara, now I can endure my hurricane day.

Looks like you didn't get hit too bad this time, Dave. Hope everything is ok.

Thank you for your thoughts. No, about 3 inches of rain and some small branches broken off. Even better, I did not lose power although the houses across the street did.
