Marc Diglio of XYZ Andy Timmons of Danger Danger Pete Lesperance of Harem Scarem All these guys were thrown into the Hair Metal pot and never really looked at as a guitarist because their respective bands were pigeon-holed from the start. They are very very under rated indeed

Vanessa Minillo

Crissy Moran

Looks more like Phyllis Diller

May I borrow that paragraph? Actually, I'm not even too sure some of these idiots would even notice it. As it is now, I have my rules and terms and people STILL miss them. I even enlarged the shipping rates and made them in RED and people still ask what shipping is. I know many sellers have no problems, but for some reason, I get the turds of the punchbowl. I can put up 1-2 items and have no problems, but if I put up 5, I'll get 2 twits... never fails

Has anyone had problems with China, Singapore or Italy?

OK... What are the problem areas/Countries for sending goods other than Indonesia?

Hell Explained: You gotta love this guy's explanation of hell. The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well : Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can all safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

I could have, but I have reasons for seeing it their way as well as your way. My friends Mike and Jen bought a lawn tractor on ebay about 4 months ago and the "seller" asked for Western Union for Payment. They sent him the $2900 for him to hold it until they had time to drive and get it. When they got there, the owner looked at them and had no clue what they were talking about and he didn't even have his tractor up for sale. They've already looked into the tractor owner, the palce the check was picked up and they've come up with nothing. Police are involved as well, but nothing is looking hopeful at this time. That's another reason I'd personally never sending something through Western Union. Paying a small fee for peace of mind doesn't bother me I guess.

CREATION STORY In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, Cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red Vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live Long and healthy lives. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan Said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, Add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled. And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman Might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and Sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman Went from size 6 to size 14. So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan Presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons And garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following The repast. God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy Vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and Chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own Platter. And Man gained more weight and his Cholesterol went through the roof. God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named It "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan Then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food." God then brought forth running shoes so that His Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan Gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not Have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue Light and gained pounds. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in Fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled Off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center Into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained Pounds. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume Fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double Cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with That?"And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into Cardiac arrest. God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then Satan created HMOs. Thought for the day ...... There is more money being spent on breast implants And Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This Means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

eBay doesn't recommend Western Union at all... In fact, they recommend NOT using it as you don't know who's picking up the money at the other end. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/accept...nts-policy.html eBay wants to ensure that the marketplace offers buyers an array of safe, appropriate, and convenient payment choices for the marketplace. As described in our safe buying guide, eBay strongly encourages sellers to offer payments through PayPal – PayPal is not only convenient to use, but it also offers buyers and sellers industry leading protection against fraud, chargebacks and theft of financial data. Merchants with their own merchant credit card processing account, and those who use a third-party credit card processor, may also offer their buyers the option of paying directly with a credit card online (including through third party checkout) or by phone. From time to time, as new payment services arise, eBay will evaluate them to determine whether they are appropriate for the marketplace. Payment services that are not permitted on eBay may, in fact, be outstanding services for consumers in other contexts. eBay’s evaluation relates only to whether a particular service is appropriate for the eBay marketplace. eBay will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination: Whether the payment model offers substantial financial, privacy and anti-fraud protection for buyers and sellers Whether the payment model raises the potential for confusion among eBay users, or involves incentives that may present fraud concerns Whether the payment model involves precious metals, or other non-cash (points, miles, minutes, coupons, discounts) as consideration Whether the payment service has a substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services (new services without such a track record generally cannot be promoted on eBay) The identity, background and other business interests of the payment service sponsor The license/regulatory status of the payment provider in the countries where it provides payment services Offline payment methods generally do not offer the same level of protection or convenience as online payments. Nonetheless, they may be appropriate for certain types of transactions and sellers may use listings to offer acceptance of most valid financial instruments including personal checks, cashier’s checks, money orders or COD. Policy Permitted on eBay.com: Sellers may offer to accept PayPal, credit cards including MasterCard/Visa /Amex/Discover, debit cards and bank electronic payments online for eBay purchases. Sellers may also offer to accept bank-to-bank transfers, often known as bank wire transfers or bank cash transfers. Sellers may accept COD (cash on delivery) or cash for in person transactions. Sellers may offer to accept personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks, certified checks and other negotiable instruments. Please see the "Some Examples" section of this policy for those evaluated payment services permitted in the eBay marketplace. Not permitted on eBay.com: Sellers may not solicit buyers to mail cash. Sellers may not ask buyers to send cash through instant cash transfer services (non-bank, point-to-point cash transfers) such as Western Union or Moneygram. Sellers may not solicit payment through "topping off" of a seller's pre-paid credit or debit card. Finally, sellers may not request payment through online payment methods not specifically permitted in this policy. Please see the "Some Examples" section of this policy for those evaluated payment services not permitted in the eBay marketplace. Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions including: Listing cancellation Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings Listing cancellation Limits on account privileges Loss of PowerSeller status Account suspension ___________________________________________________________ http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/isgw-buyer-tips.html As an eBay buyer, you can take the following precautions to help ensure a successful trading experience. Before bidding or using the Buy It Now button Remember that you automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if you're the winning buyer in the listing or use the Buy It Now feature. When sellers do not receive payment for an item, they can file an Unpaid Item dispute. eBay can then issue a strike on the account of the buyer who does not honor their obligation to pay (unless the buyer and seller mutually agree not to complete the transaction). eBay's research has shown that following a few simple tips can significantly reduce the rate of unpaid item disputes. Carefully review the item listing and make sure you understand the seller's shipping terms, refund and return policy, and other terms and conditions. Review the seller's terms and shipping details to make sure you are eligible to bid on the item. If the seller has any buyer requirements that you don't meet, contact the seller for permission prior to placing a bid or using the "Buy It Now" feature. Make sure that the seller accepts your preferred payment method. Ask your seller questions using the "Ask seller a question" link on the item listing page. If you have a problem communicating with the seller through email after you have won the item, you can request contact information for your seller (including a phone number). Make sure that you update your contact information, including your email address, whenever it changes. Make sure that you don't have any "spam" blocking software installed that may limit a seller from communicating with you. If you have computer or connection problems, you can access your eBay account through any computer with Internet access, such as those at a library or friend's house. You can monitor your bids from your My eBay page from any computer connected with the Internet. Check the seller's sales history through feedback as well as their current items to get an idea of their areas of expertise. For example, if the seller has only sold recipes, and then lists a plasma television, make sure that you are comfortable with the transaction before you bid. Learn more about knowing your seller. Make sure your preferred method of payment offers purchase protection. Use common sense. If something seems too good to be true, it often is. Make sure that you are comfortable with the transaction before you bid. Confirm authenticity of the item. Educate yourself about eBay's listing policies. Before sending payment Contact the seller to arrange payment. Verify your seller's contact information. Use extra caution with international transactions, as well as high-price and popular items. For high-price items, you can pay using an eBay approved escrow service like www.escrow.com. Insure your item. Keep a record of all purchases. What to avoid Paying with instant money transfer services such as Western Union and MoneyGram that send cash instantly from storefront locations, by telephone and over the Internet. If your seller insists on using only these payment options, report it to eBay. Transactions where the seller only accepts cash. Unsolicited offers. If the seller offers to sell you the item directly without bidding on and winning the item on eBay, please don't respond. Instead, please report it to eBay immediately. Fake escrow services. Use caution when considering an escrow service to pay for your item. For eBay transactions, you should only use the following eBay approved escrow companies: For a list of approved sites, Using Escrow Services.

Good Ol' "BooB" has some pretty sparkling feedback going too Makes Ya Go...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well put Andrew. BooB really needs to lay off the crack.

That guy posts alot of trades in the trading section on MR. You should make it known on the MR Messageboard not to deal with him if you and many others have already had problems with him.

Sad, but true... Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too untrusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it. Caution... They Walk Among Us! ==================== One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted...."Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said..."where???" They Walk among us!! ==================== While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff." They Walk Among Us!! ==================== I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific" They Walk Among Us!!! ==================== My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving". They Walk Among Us!!!! ==================== My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk... They Walk Among Us!!!!! ==================== My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.... They Walk Among Us!!!!!! ==================== I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned... They Walk Among Us!!!!!!! ==================== I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?".. They Walk Among Us!!!!!!!! ==================== While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces. They walk among us, AND reproduce!!!

Two gators were sitting at the side of the swamp near Washington, DC. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, "I can't understand how you kin be so much bigger n me. We're the same age, we was the same size as kids. I just don't get it." Well," said the big gator, "What you been eatin boy?" "Politicians, same as you," replied the small gator. "Hmm. Well, where do yall catch em?" "Down to the side of the swamp near the parkin lot by the Capitol." "Same here Hmm. How do you catch 'em?" "Well, I crawls up under one of them Lexus and wait fer one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab 'em on the leg, shake the shit out of 'em, and eat 'em!" "Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. You ain't gettin' any real nourishment. See, by the time you get done shakin' the shit out of a Politician, there ain't nothin' left but an asshole and a briefcase."

I wonder if he even stopped for a breath while he typed all that

If the original Defcon sold as well as it did, why not give them a silver pressed on their 2nd album?

There's nothing worse than seeing a cd cover with the coolest looking band, logo, song titles and a shitload of hype and then getting it and finding it's a glorified beer coaster. Soundbytes are very useful with two exceptions... I've seen many sellers, websites or even bands that put up low quality or low bitrate clips on the website and in the past, and I've passed this off as them trying to save website space, or possibly making it easier for the slow connection people to get the clips etc... Then I get the cd, and the production is so horrible that it sounds like the cd was recorded of a old cassette. I much prefer when they take the time to put up a good representation of the tunes and make them at least 128 or 160bitrate minimum. Also, when chopping the tune up for the 20-30 second sample, part of the verses and most of the chorus works best in my opinion. I've seen many times where they just play the first 20-30 seconds and when you're listening to the clip, it stops right before the big chorus, which in my opinion, is a big seller

Call ebay and ask them what to do 800-717-EBAY (800-717-3229)
