Does the description in this auction strike anyone else as incredibly funny?

If it were working when removed then it probably would have been fairly easy to determine what board it was before pulling it, huh?

I was guessing so.
Maybe I'm wrong.

What is a "control board" he has all his boards listed as control boards. I'd send him a message about it (How he is using a term in his title that seems to made up), but I'm sure I'll just get a nasty reply and a threat of a lawsuit.

Years ago I used to send "helpful" messages to beany baby sellers all the time. Most of them would threaten you with a lawsuit if you so much as mentioned the fact that they had $6-10 worth of auction enhancements (featured, gift, etc) on a $5 bear.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Well, yeah, but how much rationality could you really expect from someone selling Beanie Babies?
...
Thank god that craze died.

No, I hate beanie babies, why do you think I was hassling beanie baby sellers.  ;D

Other favorite questions included

 "Why would anyone pay $100 for a $2 toy?"

"I'm confused, how many of them do I get for that price, it couldn't just be one, but thats what it looks like your auction says."

"If I buy this can you cut the tags off first, I like to let the kids open the up, and I don't want anyone choking."

"Do your neighbors smoke? I know you said you don't, but I am afraid some smoke might have wafted in from next door."

"Can you certify that the no one working at the shop you originally purchased this at was a smoker."

"Do you know any Beanie baby sellers who do smoke? I smoke, and don't want to hurt any non-smoking toys."

Paige is officially off the hook. Buzzing beanie baby sellers sounds like a great hobby. :)

Fantastic new insult: "Go stuff your beanie baby with pez". I'm going to start using it right away.
