104 bidders can't be wrong! It's a shame the T-shirt isn't part of the
ensemble.

God I love good writing and laughing right out loud. Last good web site
that had me laughing so was that Regrettable Food site. This guy doesn't
realize how we can overlook a lot of shortfalls when you have the ability
to keep a girl laughing. That's why he's getting all those marriage
proposals.

He actually got his money back and made a profit!
That was the funniest thing I ever saw on ebay!
And over a million hits!!!

If he hadn't have written so much, I don't think it would have gotten as
much. The pix were funny but the narrative really, really makes it!

Ain't that the truth!!!!
Make me laugh, I'm yours!
There's only one thing I know that feels better than really hearty laughter,
the kind that starts in your toes and makes you scream out loud.
Actually...."that one thing" makes you scream out loud, too! (if it's done
right) :-)

As of 4/27/04 at 8:35pm, there were 263 bidders bringing in a fictitious
amount. Too bad some kids found it and got into a bidding war. I wish there
was a way of snagging their IP/dns and giving the winning parents the bill
for the new dress.

Tats? Tats? Did somebody say tats? I'm thinking about another one.
This one will show more readily than my other two and my tat-supplier is
trying to discourage me. I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

They must have eliminated some of the 'joke' bids. Last night, it was up
to over $99,000,000. He's got a note on the listing now that you have to
be pre-approved in order to bid. Obviously the kiddies found the listing
and were having way too much fun.

Eh? Another tattoo? Whatever the hell for? Due to your extraordinary,
almost pathological shyness, you never display the one you already have,
the famous purple beetroot on your left buttock, so why another one?
When I asked to see the beetroot, you first attempted to divert my
attention by trying to get me to look at some discolouration on your
teeth and when it didn't work, you just bashfully refused. "Bite me",
you said, coyly.

ObBeetroots: Here is a great recipe from _The Lutèce Cookbook_ by André
Soltner, which, he says, is an old Normandy dish.

Bubba

Betteraves sautées à la crème
Sautéed beets in cream

Serves 6

2 pounds red beets
salt
1 tablespoon vinegar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
pepper, fresh ground
3 garlic cloves, peeled, green germs removed, and chopped fine
2 tablespoons chopped chives, or chopped parsley
3/4 cup heavy cream

1. Wash the beets. Put them in pot a cover them with water. (The pot
should not be full. There should be at least 1 inch between the surface
of the water and the top of the pot.) Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt and
the vinegar. Bring to the boil, cover, and cook at a slow boil until
tender - about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The beets are ready when a knife goes
into them easily.

2. Set the pot aside and let the beets cool in the water. It is best
not to refrigerate them.

3. Remove the skins, and pull of the roots and stems of the beets with
your fingers. Cut the beets into 1/8-inch slices.

4. In a skillet, heat the butter. Add the beets. Add salt and pepper
to taste. Sauté for 8 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes
more.

5. Add 1 tablespoon of the chives (or parsley) and the cream. Bring to
the boil, and simmer for a few minutes. Put the beets on a plate, and
sprinkle them with the remaining chives (or parsley). Serve hot.

Mostly because I think they're very cool. Uncommon. Lord knows I need
all I can garner to distinguish myself. :-)

Yet another disgusting recipe from Bubba Victor deleted.

You had it right the first time, Bubba. Bite me. Or was it, "Kiss my
.. . . ." "-)

The auction ended, but I had to write to the guy:

"I just have to tell you, this is the most hilarious thing I've seen on
eBay... well, perhaps next to the photo of the silver teapot which showed
the photographer reflected in the nude. They yanked that one (pardon the
pun) pronto and small wonder. I mean, really small wonder!"

This auction even made the local news here yesterday (Tuesday).
The news report said the wedding dress has been sold.

Regrettable food is few and far between - except perhaps hamburgers.

I'm not choosy, I like almost all food.
