I'm dragging around today with a bad cold and I just want to eats flaming hot cheetos and watch Beauty and the Geek! I have a hunch tonight that the couples get a dog, and the boys have to ask girls for the phone numbers. hehehe I can't wait. I need a nap or some coffee. I got a call today on an internet business deal I've had in play for a while now and I might have the story on it in a week or two if they don't swear me to secrecy. Today I want to expose the myth of the restaurant T-shirt. haha and I am tempted to do the Vox QOTD...let me see. Yike that is a yawner 'zzzz question. Speaking of 'zzz emots for the old Thereians...have you heard that There added the classic "crickets chirping"? I would of loved that emot three years ago! Standing around the group chat and you get that awkward silence after someone says something that kills the blab. 'crickets. The Vox QOTD is so boring today that I will modify it to "What was your first cool bike that you can remember?" I was a proud lad with my bright orange, CCM Scrambler. This was a very hip 70s bike with a black banana seat and those groovy high handle bars that were kind of like a chopper. I could do a pretty fair wheelie at the time, much to Momma Twiddler's chagrin. lol It was a one speed where you would pedal 1/4 turn backwards to engage the brakes...do they even make brakes like that anymore?
The Restaurant T-shirt Myth Exposed
Me and the Sanch went to see Forest Whitaker in The Last King Of Scotland which was awesome and I think Mr Whitaker deserves the Oscar for it...and we decided to eat out afterwords at Claim Jumper...one of my favorite restaurants because they have steaming hot cheese potato soup in a bread bowl. I love it! Like many restaurants, they parade you by a glass case with t-shirt memorabilia. Have you ever tried to buy a restaurant T-shirt? I always dig a new black T-shirt and so I am game to buy one at fun bars and restaurants and...they never have them! The convo with the waitress always goes like this "could I get one of your black t-shirts in a large that you have over there?" says I. The waitress gets a griefed look of stress on her lips and says, "ohhhh the shirts...I'll have to get a manager". She runs off and you often see her running back and forth, trying to locate a manager for the elusive t-shirt purchase. After approximately 45 minutes, either the waitress or the manager will come out to the table and say "sorry, we can't find any." hahaha This has happened to me at Claim Jumpers, Safari Bar, Chevy's and other places I can't even remember. I don't even know why I fool myself into thinking the t-shirts even exist. Last night I tried to get the black hoodie and was thwarted yet again. hehehe I'll keep trying.
Ebay, IGE, and a Lot Of Cash
The world of secondary market virtual goods was valued at just under 1 billion in 2005 and is expected to hit 7 fracking billion by 2009...those are peeing the frilly white panties kind of numbers. Ebay's recent removal of virtual goods...could make IGE a bucket of cash. Here is the story. I remember back when I had adult sites, ebay canceled all women's underwear sales lol. It was a huge business for a while when girls would wear underwear for a day then sell it on ebay. Ebay put a halt to the practice...is there an now an underwear black market? hahaha I tend to think it is only a matter of time until the legal ramifications of virtual items are worked out in the courts...I think we will see virtual items on ebay again some day.
