epitome of stupidity #2
i have a long list of "epitome of stupidity" topics, but not enough time to post them all. however, this one is just so far out that i have to post it.
seattle seahawks fans have raised the bidding on ebay to $10,069 for a game day hotdog from the seahawks-panthers game on 1/22/2006. an enterprising fan planned the whole thing and took several pictures, including pics of the hotdog stand, menu board, and the scoreboard showing the score, to validate the dogs authenticity. she also has the receipt. after the game, she (stacey) took the dog home and stuck it in the freezer, then opened an ebay auction to sell it. they are only accepting bids from pre-approved buyers, so she is most likely going to collect on the sale.
there just aren't enough words to describe how ridiculous this is. the only redeeming value is that stacey has agreed to donate 15% of the highest bid to the Grant Wistrom (Children's Cancer) Foundation. way to go stacey :-)

why, america? why?
i'm happy, ok not so much happy as less distraught, that the winning bid for the 10-day-old hotdog from the nfc championship game was ONLY $1800.
i don't know what happened to the $10,000 bid, but it disappeared.
well, got to go, i'm checking the freezer for that lasagna we stuffed in there 6 months ago. it should be worth 10 times what that stale hotdog brought in.
