Curious like George (DANGER! DANGER!)
July 4th, 2007
Now here’s a curious little oddity.
I just typed ‘Roman Polanski’ into ebay and an item came up for only 99p. It’s a DVD and it’s brand new so it sounds like a good deal and the only downside is that the item is pick up only. It’s being sold from South Korea.
What makes the person think that anyone from the UK, using the UK version of ebay, will hop on a plane, go all the way across to South Korea just to hand over 99p (probably not in pennies) for a DVD?
I think this person is secretly trying to recruit members for some sort of tribute band to rival the other tribute bands and blow them away. You lure them in with cheap DVDs thousands of miles away and then, whoosh, suddenly you’re stood with a bass looking like that one from Def Leppard.
Never talk to strangers kids. Word out.

I think the question has to be asked, what were you doing typing Roman Polanski in ebay in the first place?

He’s weird. And interesting. I was doing research for something I was writing.
Very good question though Hill, well posed and thank you for tidying up my spatch-a-dee-cock-up messy weblinkage.

Friya says something about Roman Polanski Macbeth Hugh Hefner. I don’t know, she’s doing a weird thing with her eye.

I don’t recall ever coming across Roman Polanski Macbeth Hugh Hefner. Are they distant relations?
You should take Friya to an eye clinic – don’t want that getting too OOH now do you? 😀 😀 or it could even get OOO!

Something kinda ooo, Jumping on my tutu

That’s totally OOH.
I think her point is something to do with Roman Polanski being in some sort of Macbeth thing directed by Hugh Hefner. But I didn’t really know what to make of it because while she was telling me she was being all OOO with her EYES.

When a girl’s OOO in your eyes I suppose you can’t really say no. They get that OOO, and then you’re like, “uh oh,” and there’s far too much OOO to deal with.
‘Tis totally OOH though.
Nice Girls Aloud there Kev. Keep at it.

A comment for me? How delightfully
You sprain yourself for a slice of tea
I ate mine, it tasted fine
‘Til you dropped in a melon and half a lime
10. Chris | July 10th, 2007 at 11:08
Half a lime? Half a lime?
I have no time for half a lime.
Give me pines and pickled toast
I will take what’s mine and boast.
Do not give me filigree
For I do not know what it be.

I agree with great glee
I do not know what be filigree
So follow me in my distaste
We really have no time to waste
For all those drinks are filling up
We’re severely lacking in cups!
If snacks is what we need
I suggest we start to
FEED FEED FEED!
