Just tripped across this song by Weird Al online that I thought might amuse you.

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 ever'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 Hazzard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)
Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case off vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)
Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcett 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

From the link:

"Weird Al's version of "I want it that way". Hilarious to listen to if you're a ebay fan like myself. Heck, I even used to be a Backstreet Boys fan (embarrassingly)."

Has anyone else had trouble getting ebay to load? The homepage seems to take FOREVER to load on my computer, even with a DSL connection. One the main page is up, everything else works at "normal" speed, but the ebay.com page can take over 5 minutes to appear! I've run spybot, adaward, microsoft beta testing and nothing is showin gup. All my other sites work just fine. Weird.

Teach, mine is working just fine...unfortunately

I've found that I have to clear my temp files and history when this happens to me. Have you done that? It can, also, depend on the number of people trying to access the site all at the same time.

Yup -- even ran spybot and adaware. Must just be a glitch w/ mozilla at the moment. Thanks.
