On each desk of the computer lab is a coupon with the following words:

$25.00 good for use on Ebay.com

Once everyone had taken their seat, Abby came up to the front and grinned. "Today you're going to go shopping in what amounts to a great big yard sale. Only with a more crap and less lemonade stands."

"Ebay is a network of people who are offering their crap up to sell by auction. You enter in a bid for the item and then wait to see if you win it. If someone else is interested in the item, there might be a bidding war." Abby sighed. "Which means you'll spend an entire day refreshing and bidding just to lose the red leather dog collar for a measly 25 cents at the last second!"

Abby growled and shook her head. "Lousy btrwmnfan83! I'll get you one of these days!"

"Uh...anyways, you're all going to bid on items. Keep a close eye and make sure you don't get outbid and..." Abby smiled happily. "...you get to keep whatever you buy!"

[ooc: For the purpose of the class, you're going to be bidding on items that close their auction within the hour. Feel free to try and outbid other players and/or leave them comments.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

(http://photobucket.com/) Hasn't happened yet. Until it does I officially don't care.

(http://photobucket.com/) I think you have a death wish. Are you emo?

(http://photobucket.com/) No. I just like blue. Are you mentally challenged?

(http://photobucket.com/) I bet your emo. Do you spend all your time listening to whiny rock and updating your blog with suicide notes?

(http://photobucket.com/) Your grammar confirms my earlier suspicions, and therefore I would be willing to bet that my blog owns your blog.

(http://photobucket.com/) You probably don't even like Bitterwoman!

(http://photobucket.com/) And for the mere fact that, that would put me on a level with you. I am thankful.

(http://photobucket.com/) "ZOMG it is the best show EVAR. Are you some kind of freak?"

(http://photobucket.com/) You need a life. Get a girlfriend or something.

PS. Bitterwoman does not count as a significant other.

(http://photobucket.com/) First off, Bitterwoman/Me=OTP!!1111!!

Secondly, you just don't appreciate art when you see it. What's your favorite show? Something with pretty boys and pop rock soundtracks?

(http://photobucket.com/) #1. In your dreams. #2. Bitterwoman is only art to those with a low IQ.

(http://photobucket.com/) A. Our love is eternal!
B. Please. You're just jealous of it's success. What do you watch on tv? PBS?

(http://photobucket.com/) Your love probably involves autoeroticism, and Bitterwoman's success is limited to re-runs at 3am. Jealousy is wasted on it.

(http://photobucket.com/) EWWW! Not all of us are pervs like you!

WTF? It's a cult hit! Do you know how many Bitterwoman conventions there are every year?!

(http://photobucket.com/) Speak for yourself, freak. I'm not dating a fictional character.

(http://photobucket.com/) Don't call me freak, geek!

(http://photobucket.com/) Rejected. Try again later with a better comeback.

There was a long pause before the next response.

(http://photobucket.com/) I'm going to send you a virus looooser!

(http://photobucket.com/) Do. Your. Worst. I can take it.

(http://photobucket.com/) EAT SPAM AND DIE!

A virus that will flood Mac's email box with hundreds of vIAgrA emails invades her computer.

Mac? Totally has a spam-killing program installed. btrwmnfan83 is way out of their league.

(http://photobucket.com/) See the screen name? Give it up.

In the time you've been trying to persude me to buy drugs I have no need of, I won the auction.

(http://photobucket.com/) DAMNIT!
