Things Money Can Buy

(To sound like a commercial)
There are some things money can’t buy.

For everything else, there’s ebay. Today it appears that gum once chewed by Jessica Simpson is no longer on the list of unpurchase-ables.


I’m not a big fan of gum chewers mainly because I don’t like the end result. A gob of resin left for future generations to either step on or scrape off of something.

Still, the person selling this particular wad of oh-not-so-freshness also claims that via Simpson’s “residue” on the gum you receive her DNA as a special bonus, suitable for cloning. (Yeah, but the embryonic chamber is sold separately.)

I took a screen shot so that this posting would still make sense after the auction is over on December 4th.



I also wanted pictorial evidence because this is just the kind of thing that the web was INVENTED FOR, and which I more often than not will show friends in years to come.

But back to the gum. I’m thinking that a nice shadow box is probably the proper display medium. If you have a better idea do let me know and I’ll put your name on the plaque as well. (Oh man, that pun was just sitting there staring me in the face!)

Hmmm… but now it occurs to me that if all a person wants to do is pretend that Jessica and he/she are swapping spit, I suppose they could just chew the gum instead of displaying it!

Wow, I think I just grossed myself out.
