The Part Timers Forum used to have an on-going thread about posts that were odd/funny/stooopid/contained weird CS answers ~ or just generally considered silly or outrageous. The OP of the thread was "the medic", so while the PT group is still kickin', I thought it would be fun to start another similar thread.
Readers, if you run across a post, comment, feedback, etc., that is "off the beaten path", please add it to this thread. I read the community almost every day and will contribute when something catches my eye. Just something to break up the boredom of listing, revising, answering questions, and working around the eBay listing glitches 
~ or waiting for something to sell 
Well, fly, after seeing the picture you posted of the huge fish you caught, I am having a hard time imagining you wearing Oprah's Louboutins....but I guess if Lady Gaga can, so can you!

But I really need to replace my daily, everyday, all-the-time. go-to shoes ... I thought that the Blue and Silver Louboutins (I'm at least learning how to spell it) would go nicely with my beat-up "sweats-and-a-tee" uniform 🙂
They are actually a pair of men's mocs, because I couldn't find a pair of women's that weren't all Gussied Up with bright pink or other hideous bows and girly stuff 😞

Shop Oprah’s ClosetYour chance to raid Oprah’s closet is here, and you could take home designer finds like her Alexander McQueen wrap dress, plus a pair of autographed Christian Louboutin platform pumps—with all proceeds benefitting girls’ education.
Oh puhleese, Oprah selles here too? I am not exactly a fan of Miss O. I mean who-what-why would a person put themselves on the cover of their own magazine every freeking issue?? All her cover shots are so air brushed they're more like portraits and I don't know when the cover photo was taken on this picture but they've managed to slim her down about 8 sizes, oy. Ok, my O rant is done.
Hi, blue ~ tell us how you really feel about Oprah! 
From a brand new eBay seller having problems with their first sale:
You shouldn't have to start anti-anxiety meds just to be an Ebay Seller after all!
An example of eBay's brilliant wording on an email sent to advertise eBay Sellers sales:
0% Off Hurry! Your watched item is now on sale.
This just struck me funny, so thought I would share!
A poster was having a problem with downloading a picture ~ this problem crops up continually on the boards, along with all kinds of "computer" related problems and the #1 answer is usually ~ delete cookies and cache, etc. ~ trite, but tried and true, however, I really like this new spin on that time worn phrase:
Or maybe you need to toss your cookies (but please wait until I get out of the room) 
eBay scammers buyers have huge.....ummm, nerve!
Subject line of a sellers post asking for help:
Buyer won't pay for the item unless I ship it first
"Two INR cases opened buy a non paying buyer - how is this possible?"
Answer: Because it's eBay! Seller finally prevailed and won the cases but it took numerous phone calls to CS and 5 days!
Message to seller after receiving their package ~ newbie to eBay!
A buyer's initial and only message to me in caps:
LEAVE FEEDBACK NOW OR SHOULD I RETURN THE ORDER?
Angry buyer using seller's email to sign them up for SPAM:
"Now I'm Receiving a bunch of emails for confirming subscriptions including a few psychic and porn sites."

I was looking for something to Buy and ran across this Seller that had such an extensive list of TOS. I laughed and laughed!
LIke:
- I have pets so their might be pet hair.
- I buy My things from everywhere so I can't be responsibe for any "smells".
- I pack My stuff in recycled "stuff"
I have been wondering if I should say I eat PEANUTS"
@moonbloodstone Hi there, moon ~ Thanks for your contribution ~ love reading those funny/odd longer than Gone With The Wind terms of sale!
The "can't pay for auction" crowd is now International ~ just saw this post:
