e-bay wedding dress FUNNY!

[txlovely]

Wedding Dress! Cheap! Only worn once!

[Bill O'Rights]

No bitterness there...no, sir.

[txlovely]

I found the tattoos and mullet added extra special touches...

Hey, BOR... I like your sig

[denim]

I e-mailed him with the URL for this thread, if he's interested.

Bitter? Maybe, but he's grown a sense of humor from it.

[CinnamonGirl]

This dress cost me $1200 that my drunken sot of an ex-father-in-law swore up and down he would pay for but didn’t so I got stuck with the bill. Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years.

[flagpole]

There was this one woman who wrote, "You should have covered your tattoos. People will be able to recognize you, like on America’s Most Wanted." HELLO!!! I’m a guy selling a dress. I’m not wanted for war crimes

[rbox]

Not sure if this goes in Nonsense or whatever, move it if its out of place. But this is the best ebay item description ever.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...343&category=6

It’s also the first time I’ve been inside something feminine that didn’t nag me to take out the garbage.

That line had me laughing soooooo hard.

[heccubusiv]

haha... that is a great auction, too bad the auction is not for real by the 99,999,999 price

[Fremen]

What woman wants to wear it now???

[StormBerlin]

That was the funniest thing i've read in a while. Good laugh I think I'll email the guy and thank him myself.

Well, the man clearly stated that he had clothing on underneath. Maybe you forgot to read the description, seeing as all the jokes are in it you should 8).

[animosity]

hah... couldnt get through the whole thing. what an odd fellow

edit* i dont see a woman actually buying this.

Actually, my best friend's wife probably would have. Aside from being a total bitch, she's all about saving pennies in the most obnoxious way. She'd be bidding on that dress for $1 or $2 just to save the money for her QVC and Operah addictions.

He was on the local news (I'm in WA). Guess he got busted for having an auction, wearing his exwife's dress. He thought it would be good revenge. He wants to use the money to buy beer and Mariners tix.

[bparker805]

This is the line that had me rolling:

Some of your emails made me laugh. Like the bitter woman that wished she had her ex’s testicles to sell on eBay.

How could anybody think this woman was bitter?

What channel was he on? I live in WA too but I didn't see this.

I don't recall- just about any cable news channel Kiro, King, Q13, Komo...should have it on.

[Karby]

the aution is funny. not so much for the price of the dress.

[Tirian]

1.7 million hits on the counter - holy hits batman !!!
funny stuff.

[Asuka{eve}]

Man!! Last time I checked that auction it was at 300$!!!

[Jam]

holy fucking expensive dress... sure looks like a real auction ... if you didnt notice he has sold alot of other things... i think people just bid alot as jokes and screwed up the thing... some poor saps going to have a bloody expensive dress

[CSflim]

I guess the $9,999,9999 was (rightfully) removed by ebay. The current highest bid is $17,000.
The thing about your ebay auction becoming well known is that you get a lot of losers just bidding as a joke, with no intention of paying.
This guy actually wants to sell that dress. I wonder if that $17,000 was serious? I mean he says that the dress cost $1,200 new!

[ratbastid]

God bless the blogosphere. A couple major blog-news sites pick up on something like this and suddenly Some Dude in Washington is the Internet Celebrity Du Jour.

I'm SURE this was on Fark. Most oddity/human interest TV News stories I've seen got scooped by Fark.

[Averett]

We tried taking pictures of this lovely white garment but it didn’t look right on the hanger as you can see, so my sister says, "You need a model." Well, quite frankly my sister isn’t exactly small, (like a size 12 is?) so she wouldn’t pose for the picture. Seeing as I have sworn off women for the time being and I ain’t friends with any, it left me holding the bag.

Gee, I'm amazed that this guys marraige didn't last, AND he doesn't have any female friends!

[Bill O'Rights]

Threads merged

[aurigus]

I saw this on the NBC Today Show this morning, I'm surprised I only heard about the ebay auction yesterday, and it's on the Today show today. Fastest growing meme. Ever.

[MaGlC_MaN]

lol, ebay's crazy

[Midnight_Son]

If that guy writes a book, I'll buy it....he's got a flair for words

[hotzot]

jesus! is the dress really up to $24,900?

[rockogre]

Too funny. It was just on the news at noon from Oklahoma City, channel 4 in case any of you Okies wasn't goofing off and watching the news and weather.

[majik_6]

Wow! Although I'd say it's going to be hard for him to get any legit price (with gag bids and such), I must give him credit for taking a shitty situation (wife leaving, but keeping the ring) and turning it into comedy gold!

His updates are some of the funniest things I've read in a while.

[Plan9Senior]

Auction is changed to approved bidders only and the bid is up to 15 grand, so he will be getting that . Not bad chunk of change for having a little fun I must say.

[minyn]

what a worthwhile endeavor to lay your heart in front of millions of people and embarrass yourself just as much! damn, if i get a divorve, ill make a point to slap my daddy in my dress to get rid of it right quick!

[Halx]

I've been following this auction since it had less than 50,000 hits. Now is has nearly 5 million. Wow.

[denim]

He doesn't sound embarrassed. Looks like he stands to get what he went in for, plus enough money to get it several times over (tickets and beer). What more can he want?

He doesn't even have to handle being famous!

[Grondar]

I kind of have a desire to hang out with this guy.

Is that a bad thing?

[StormBerlin]

So I'm watching Dr. Phil, and they interrupt Dr. Phil to let me know that this story will be on the news tonight. In Salt Lake City...
I don't know where this guy is, but I'm surprised word's getting around like that....

[matteo101]

Winning bid: US $3,850.00

Price went down abit, but none the less 4grand is a good amount of money, and I think he can catch afew Mariners games with that money. And besides that he got awesome publicity, and probly had tons of fun doing it. This mans my hero, i would definetly buy any book he put out.

He's in Washington, near us. The local news said that he was improperly selling his ex-wifes dress to get revenge. He wants to use the money from the auction to buy beer and Mariners tix. He was not afraid to be on camera. He's also gotten marriage proposals as well.

[mingusfingers]

And he makes 3850! That would certainly make me feel a bit better.
