I don't normally do plugs, but I know my friends are a group of twisted, toy-collecting mo-fo's... So help another friend of mine get his business going!

Go buy a thing! Tell your friends!
There is a long, FUCKED UP story associated with why I'm plugging this particular site, but let us just say that its success is very important to me...
Let it also be known that this is NOT being plugged for any anti-Semetic reasons. If you have things to say about other races, don't say 'em to me. I think these toys are keen for HISTORICAL reasons. They are banned from eBay due to "potentially offensive content".
There's a lot of stuff in history that's offensive, but that doesn't mean we can regulate it out of existence. Then what will we have learned? Sure the Germans were at one point the bad guys, but now ebay is trying to say that ANYTHING from WWII era Germany is offensive, and I find that really irritating. Next it'll be the Japanese. And we all know where that's going.

One of my bestest stories is about how I was watching Pearl Harbor (the movie) with a friend of mine and commented that my Great Uncle died at Pearl Harbor... My friend looked at me gravely and asked, "Don't hit me, but I need some clarification... Was your Uncle on a BOAT or in a PLANE?"
Mom's Japanese, but it was my Great Uncle on my Father's side who was serving on the USS Arizona when it sank at Pearl Harbor. I'm glad my Grandmother didn't have the same prejudices as eBay, or I wouldn't be here.

Kay. Thanks for listening. Now go look at the pretty toys and go buy something that'll really disturb your mother-in-law...

I don't understand how someone can take something personally when I've never met them at all, how they can take it personally when there are scam artists all over the web and how they can get away with only telling you after the auction is over how much they are planning on gouging you for shipping in the first place.
I can't even complain about this boob being so rude because you can only leave feedback for completed transactions. Grumble.
