Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

That's one of the things I'm selling! I'll let you know if anyone nibbles for it.

Oh, please do.

What's the procedure when someone doesn't reply to inquiries?

eBay has a section where you can request the buyer's contact information. Get their phone # and call them. That's what eBay recommends; if that doesn't work, then eBay does have a non-paying bidder resolution process.

Gak!! Call somebody absolutely strange to me and tell them to send me money? I'd rather write-off the $5.

But that's the step you have to take before you leave them negative feedback. Do you want me to call the complete stranger, say I'm your auctions manager, and nag them to send you the money? I have no problem doing that.

(I recently called a seller who hadn't answered any of my emails about the item I won from her. She was very, very startled that I called, and said that she had mailed the item that very day. I give her two weeks, then I call again. I'm MEAN. )

"Pay up or I sic the Perky Goth on you!" It's a plan. Let me give her one more week.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm not sure I should go any further into details there. Perfect gentleman, me.

Billytea, we wouldn't have you any other way. Or THE Other Way.

ION, deathcramps. Feh. I have ingested perscription strength Naproxin, alcohol, and caffine. Now I have a heaty pad on my tummy. I rescheduled an agency interview to tomorrow and now am going to lay here and die. If I don't fall asleep or feel a better soon I'm hitting the emergency opiates.

She was very, very startled that I called, and said that she had mailed the item that very day.

Ah, yes. The universal code for "ok, now I really, really plan to do it in the next day or two, promise." Not that I've ever done that.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

But that's the step you have to take before you leave them negative feedback.

You don't have to call them. There's the non-paying bidder email that you can send through eBay. If they don't respond to that within x number of days, you can get your listing fees/eBay cut back. No phone calls are required (thank God).

Is there a Harry Potter tarot deck, or should I make one?

There is a podcast about symbolism in Harry Potter that is sort of interesting. Well, the first installment isn't, but the others are.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

At one point, Joe, ND and I were working on a Buffista Tarot Deck.

Joe was drawing them.

Good luck with the cramps of death Trudy.

I just remembered an exchange my kids had yesterday.

Emaryn: If you do X (I forgot what X was), you're doomed.

Leif: I don't want to be doomed.
