    You seriously put this on eBay? People will buy anything.


    I have 0 bids, but I'm still hopeful. If it doesn't sell by Jan 2, I will discount.


    Can I get the tattoo at half price?


    For you, it's double.


    These are very funny. well done, G. Just curious: Howd you come up with that bid for investors?

     


    That's your homework assignment to determine


    I don't get it. Which resolution will I get if I win the auction? I don't fall into any character in your sample offerings (yet).

    And, seriously, 3 feedbacks?! You can't sell anything (well, maybe except a Dagblog Council seat) with that noob standing.

    Speaking of pirate ships, have you seen how the People's Liberation Navy will harmonize the Somalian ocean?


    Maybe that's why I haven't received any bids. Well don't just stand there. Start feedbacking.

    And thanks for the video. Very inspiring. I was standing on my chair cheering wildly at the end. Go People's Liberation Navy!!!! (There's a sitcom in here somewhere.)

    PS Why do you change your screen name to something equally cryptic every time you write in?


    It's hard to strike a balance between myself and the great Khan.

    BTW whenever I log in with OpenID using my wordpress account, I got this error:
