My mama always told me to watch out for people who would take advantage of me. She’d always say “Why buy the meteorite when you can get the cow shit for free?”
They let my son’s class get away with phonetic spelling in everything except the spelling tests. He’s in third grade. I was a journalist and an editor, and it makes me want to fucking scream.
The woman selling the Obama plate has all manner of wonderful handmade items in her shop – including a kids Snuggie and Bath and Body Works lotions….wait, what??
lols. She has a “handmade” Snuggy for kids! I could barely stop myself from adding the slightly used bath and body works lotion and bath gel to my cart…noooooo.
I need to make the time to pop into the Natural History one sometime. Maybe one of the nights it’s open I can hit it up on the way home from work. That’s where they keep the meteorites on display, so it has the best odds.
When my spawn had finished gestating I received a “lovely”, wind-up Precious Moments dollie that said the Lord’s Prayer in a voice so fucking creepy I couldn’t even handle having the damn thing near me.
I have a plush praying cat that when you squeeze it says, “Dear Lord, hear my prayer, for all your creatures everywhere, for animals both big and small, and for my pets please bless them all.”
Except the word ‘bless’ sounds more like ‘molest’
*sniffle*
holy shit. my daughter got a bear that said the bedtime prayer. i burned a bunch of shit when we moved out and some old stuffed animals (you know, elephants with one ear, etc) were in there. that fucking bear made it’s way in there. nothing as fucking creepy as your fire saying it’s bedtime prayers. *shudder* okay, i have to stop thinking about that now.
I am gonna pick up my own hunk of Brazilian space rock and beat that seller senseless for his/her fucking ALL CAPS description of utter bullshit! We’ll see who’s screaming then.
I don’t understand why people bother pricing things so high on Etsy. No one is selling enough crocheted bikinis, vagina necklaces, and hot glued chrysanthemums to afford a screaming intergalactic cow patty.
Obviously Regretsy needs to make an awesome band. Or maybe someone just needs to make an etsy shop where he or she just sells made up band names. It’s less lucrative than it sounds… I mean, look at the other shit people manage to sell on there.
But they do give “free” shipping: IF THERE IS ANY COMPLICATIONS WITH SHIPPING INSURANCE ETC. OUTSIDE THE U.S.A. MONK/SCREAM METEORITE WILL MOST LIKELY BE DELIVERED TO YOU IN PERSON TO MOST ANY PLACE ON THE PLANET AFTER YOUR PAYPAL PAYMENT CLEARS!!!
For $91,101.01, it had better be hand delivered to me on a private jet that is flying me to Madrid for the first stop in an all-inclusive, 1st class European tour.
And it won’t break. I have that exact same bowl in one bathroom for cotton balls. I dropped it the other day, and instead of breaking when it hit the counter, that knob on the lid took out a big chip of tile.
The kissing kids pendent is sold at Forever21 as well, it’s 2.99! The candy dish one is full of derp. They wrote “bidding” instead of purchasing. The price for the “screaming monk” is … amazing.
The Obama plate had a “not food safe” label on it. Maybe that’s why it’s worth 10 times more than the Amazon one? I mean, they’re both not food safe, right? So really, the etsy seller is looking out for her customers and that’s worth moving the decimal place one to the right, isn’t it?
“METEORITE MONK-SCREAM HEAD OF COMET METEORITE WITH FACE OUTER SPACE ROCK MASCOT FROM URAUCU BRAZIL 3 KILO SACRED MAGIC CHANNEL ENTITY METEORITE PLUS FREE BONUS GENUINE THOMAS EDISON RECORDING FREE SHIPPING PERSONAL DELIVERY OR BEST OFFER” is totally going to be my new screen name. Do you think I can break the forums?
Especially if there are older siblings with equally long names, since you know an upset mother has to go through the whole list from oldest to youngest!
Oh no, the etsy seller with the vintage kids kissing pendant…. I’ve been reading her blog for years! She’s a sweet kid. Although, to be fair, she loooves those awful cabochon flower things. She superglues them to everything! But I can imagine that she makes good money selling her jewelry.
I looked at the other listings of the monk-scream meteorite seller… He has a “jesus face” rock that looks pretty similar, but he sewed it four removable hats AND a headband, and it’s like, 1/90th the price. Just in case anyone fell in love was looking for a *really* good deal. http://www.etsy.com/listing/11154280/mysterious-jesus-face-cool-black-jesus?ref=pr_shop
I have seen that listing before. Was it here? Maybe it was the twitter feed, @StupidShitonEtsy. It was a long time ago. I can’t believe he hasn’t sold that one yet.
“I ALSO MADE JESUS FACE A TESLA LIGHTNING FUSION HEADBAND FROM AN ELECTRONICS PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SECURITY SYSTEM IN AN UNDERGROUND ***EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIEN BASE IN COLORADO. HIS TESLA HAT REALLY BOOSTS HIS THIRD EYE MIND MELD ENERGY WHERE THE TESLA COIL IS CONNECTED TO HIS BLOW HOLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS FOREHEAD. TODAY I WILL ALSO RE-ENERGIZE HIS HAT AND JESUS FACE WITH MY ENERGIZING BALANCING STONES FROM KANSAS FOR WORLD PEACE AND LAUGHTER THROUGH OUT THE LAND ON CHRISTMAS.”
Wow. This seller is all kinds of crazy. Apparently this rock will also “help enhance space ship landings”…

I’ll bet his neighbors love living next door to Energetic Jesus Santa Hat Spaceship seller person too.
Although the space ship traffic would be a bitch to deal with.
Then follow your heart. Just be aware you’ll be living in an abandoned underground nuclear shelter somewhere in Nevada, distilling your own urine to drink and subsisting on a diet of whatever lizards and small animals you can snare.
Also be aware he probably hasn’t showered, shaved or cut his hair since shortly after the Summer of Love.
The necklace was actually part of Forever 21′s $1.50 selections a couple months back, they cycle through them pretty quickly though so I think it’s gone.
Pretty much, I always buy a bunch of their shitty $1.50 necklaces cause they’re random. I’ve got lips, a zebra, a fat ass unicorn, and a robot just to name a few. My coworkers think they’re hilarious, but one of the girls who also works there kept telling me to get the kissing kids cause it was “cute” I never did though. I finally just told her I wasn’t getting it cause it wasn’t as fucking random as my others and kinda creepy like those dutch kids in old folks yards.
I adore how that little red sticker tells me that “food consumed” on the Obama plate “might be harmful.” Nothing says American hope like lead paint from China.
I got my kissing charm in a gumball machine for 25 cents back in the day. I think it was on a key ring, and I think I still have it. Wonder how much it has appreciated since then?
And the description of that piece of crap made my head hurt. Random words strung together do not a description make. On the other hand, I guess it’s better than saying, “Bull Hockey, $91,101.01.”
You’re not keeping up with the conspiracy theorists. Meteorites are (a) handmade by the “aliens” who live inside our planet (and send out ships for observance, hence UFOs) or (b) handmade by aliens from other planets who then play their version of badminton in low-gravity and too frequently hit one over the barrier. Then of course there’s (c) the seller is an imbecile.
New theme, HK? “So Last Year But Etsy Is Still Pummeling It To Death”.
It’s sorta like your Questionaires on the Next Etsy Trend.
We already have a list going starting with owl, cowls mustaches octupi, little patches of fake grass, anything beige, light grey, off white or without any color whatsoever.
Guess what? She has another one up for sale: http://etsy.me/gS8KBe Amazing how she’s found this cache of vintage kissing kids jewelry. What are the odds??
What happened here is she bought a bunch of them from love jewels, went back into 70-s, then went back into 2011 only to find her stash nicely “vintaged” ready to be sold on Etsy.
Huh, I would have imagined that the intersection of “People willing to drop wads of cash for purported meteorite bits” and “People who want a genuine Thomas Edison recording” would be a vanishingly small number.
Interesting little freebie he threw in there to sweeten the pot.
I was wondering about the “genuine Thomas Edison recording” too. I’m thinking it works like a seashell- the recording is inside the meteorite turd, you hold it up to your ear and the voices in your head supply the rest…

I’m not getting terrarium as an application for the sugar bowl. By the time you put dirt in it, there wouldn’t be room for much of a plant. I guess you could toss some old bread in there and have a mold terrarium.
well it’s not cow hooves. might be goat. the angle looks like short legs. will have to go out and look at goat feet tomorrow. maybe have the picture to compare…might me llama though??
Another way to quit your day job is to resell 99 cent sewing patterns from Joann’s. Like this listing for Simplicity 2198:
“This is a brand new pattern, I just pulled from my local fabric store’s pattern drawers this weekend. They have the best sales ever, and I always try to pick up some patterns I think my customers would enjoy using for their creations.”
The beauty of buying on Etsy is that artisans are most of the time happy to customize your item for you. The glass jar guy is willing to customize the quantity…
I’m afraid you’ll have to change the size of the smell yourself, it’s luxury enough as it is that the seller is offering custom quantity, we can’t expect too much after that…
I love the way the sellers set their price points. There must be a reseller dart board out there somewhere. The outer ring is $14 but if you hit the bullseye you can charge 90 grand!
This meteorite has a page long description of how magical it is, how it can make you laugh and drop your weapons, heal you, bla-bla-bla, this seller should really keep it for himself since it’s so multifunctional!
Yet he did go into the bother of writing such a long description which means he’s positive that someone might go for it. Which also means that this meteoshite can make you daft…
“METEORITE MONK-SCREAM HEAD OF COMET METEORITE WITH FACE OUTER SPACE ROCK MASCOT FROM URAUCU BRAZIL 3 KILO SACRED MAGIC CHANNEL ENTITY METEORITE PLUS FREE BONUS GENUINE THOMAS EDISON RECORDING FREE SHIPPING PERSONAL DELIVERY OR BEST OFFER.”
This sounds like Engrish from some sort of packaging.
Compare and safe is one of my favourite categories, and I can’t believe it’s only now that I paid attention to what the woman and child are so eagerly looking at on their screen…
well etsy got off its ass and removed the plate and other shit in that chicks shop plus dish and necklace http://www.etsy.com/listing/71090720/dolce-toe-socks this is still up though.. the seller was selling an snuggie too. christ!
With a price of 91,101.01, we’re left with only one inevitable conclusion, this is the meterorite that brought down the WTC! 9/11 was an Extra-terrestrial job!!!!

April 6, 2011 at 9:53 am
Why the bizarrely specific price on the last one? Would it have killed them to make their fake fimo meteorite cost $91101.00 instead?
April 6, 2011 at 9:56 am
It adds to the charm and mystery of the… crap, literal crap in this case.
April 6, 2011 at 10:01 am
Are you sure it’s fimo and not laminated cow crap? Because that’s totally worth the bizarre price point.
April 6, 2011 at 11:12 am

This must be binary code. The other worldly lost & found language.

April 6, 2011 at 9:54 am
Ugggh I think I ended up paying around $14 for the stupid kissing necklace, I should have just went online-damn you Torrid!!
April 6, 2011 at 10:04 am
I think the necklace isn’t horrible – but the green ring it’ll leave around your neck for “vintage brass” – in other words CRAP = priceless.

No. She bought it from Torrid, who I don’t believe is on Etsy. Yet.
April 6, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Since it was for $14 I assumed she bought it of the “vintage” shop. I just never heard of Torrid before…
April 6, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Omg reading fail.
Also, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=torrid
April 6, 2011 at 9:55 am
Put the cow shit in the jar and put the jar on the plate and you got yourself a deal! (The necklace is just tacky.)
April 6, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Can you glue the jar to the plate for me? I can’t be bothered to actually set it there everytime I move it.
April 6, 2011 at 9:55 am
oooh! They have those bowls at Big Lots! I should seriously start selling crap.
April 6, 2011 at 10:11 am
just because it’s for sale doesn’t mean anyone’s buying it.
April 6, 2011 at 4:37 pm
They closed my Big Lots. I’m kind of sad because now I can’t replace the plates I broke. Maybe I can find them on Etsy.
April 6, 2011 at 9:55 am
My mama always told me to watch out for people who would take advantage of me. She’d always say “Why buy the meteorite when you can get the cow shit for free?”
April 6, 2011 at 9:56 am
What’s amazing is that even if the Obama plate wasn’t on sale it’s still cheaper than the one on Etsy.
But it kinda looks like shitty Photoshop job, so I’d rather save my $50 and get Pokemon White.
April 6, 2011 at 10:04 am
I have one in my kitchen. I bought it at CVS for $6.
April 6, 2011 at 9:56 am
I suspect they meant “Munch,” not “Monk” on that last one?
April 6, 2011 at 10:00 am
Nah, it looks much more like Tony Shaloub than Richard Belzer.
April 6, 2011 at 10:06 am
Damn the lack of pictures of Tony Shalhoub screaming.
April 6, 2011 at 10:12 am
Damn my remembering his name before I looked it up, so I spelled it incorrectly…
April 6, 2011 at 12:42 pm
But it worked phonetically. That’s really what counts in the written word. :-\
April 6, 2011 at 4:43 pm
They let my son’s class get away with phonetic spelling in everything except the spelling tests. He’s in third grade. I was a journalist and an editor, and it makes me want to fucking scream.
April 6, 2011 at 10:49 am
Try stills from Men in Black, that was a classic Tony Shalhoub roll, and he probably did a lot of screaming in that one.
April 6, 2011 at 10:31 am
I’m glad I’m not the only one who got that Monk/Munch part.
The Monk/The Scream… that’s priceless.
April 6, 2011 at 9:56 am
“Meteorite Monk Scream” would be a great band name.
April 6, 2011 at 7:35 pm

April 6, 2011 at 11:40 am

This reminds me that I really would like a small meteorite pendant. But what are the odds of my actually getting a legit meteorite?
April 6, 2011 at 10:11 am
You should check with a space museum, or the Smithsonian. I think some of them have small meteorites in their gift shops.
April 6, 2011 at 11:13 am
I need to make the time to pop into the Natural History one sometime. Maybe one of the nights it’s open I can hit it up on the way home from work. That’s where they keep the meteorites on display, so it has the best odds.
April 6, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Or, y’know, Air & Space.
*facepalm* (but there are a number of touchable meteorites in Natural History. None screaming)
April 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
When my spawn had finished gestating I received a “lovely”, wind-up Precious Moments dollie that said the Lord’s Prayer in a voice so fucking creepy I couldn’t even handle having the damn thing near me.
April 6, 2011 at 11:13 am
I saw one that did the “now I lay me down to sleep” prayer.
Having a doll that says “if I die before I wake” is extremely creepy.
April 6, 2011 at 11:43 am
Having a doll that looks like THAT saying “if I die before I wake” isn’t creepy. It isn’t whimsicle, it’s plain old fucking insanity.
April 6, 2011 at 1:58 pm
I have a plush praying cat that when you squeeze it says, “Dear Lord, hear my prayer, for all your creatures everywhere, for animals both big and small, and for my pets please bless them all.”

I don’t understand why people bother pricing things so high on Etsy. No one is selling enough crocheted bikinis, vagina necklaces, and hot glued chrysanthemums to afford a screaming intergalactic cow patty.

intergalactic cow patty. another great band name.
April 6, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Obviously Regretsy needs to make an awesome band. Or maybe someone just needs to make an etsy shop where he or she just sells made up band names. It’s less lucrative than it sounds… I mean, look at the other shit people manage to sell on there.

I would buy that band t, though.
and I want to edit my post above to include ‘screaming’.
screaming intergalactic cow patty.

On my facebook feed, there’s this link right above a quote from the Daily Show: “Hit me with your best, biggest turd.”
Well I think you just have.

I doubt I could handle that much outer-space monk scream head. Can I convo you for just a sliver off the side?
April 6, 2011 at 11:16 am
Take a few vacation days, and get the whole thing. You, and your friends, could party on that much outer-space-monk-scream-head for days.

Apparently “old novetly tooling” is a euphemism for “selling fake vintage shit.”
April 6, 2011 at 10:16 am
Or “cheap reproduction of gumball machine jewelry with dangerously high lead content.”
April 6, 2011 at 10:03 am
But they do give “free” shipping: IF THERE IS ANY COMPLICATIONS WITH SHIPPING INSURANCE ETC. OUTSIDE THE U.S.A. MONK/SCREAM METEORITE WILL MOST LIKELY BE DELIVERED TO YOU IN PERSON TO MOST ANY PLACE ON THE PLANET AFTER YOUR PAYPAL PAYMENT CLEARS!!!
For $91,101.01, it had better be hand delivered to me on a private jet that is flying me to Madrid for the first stop in an all-inclusive, 1st class European tour.
April 6, 2011 at 10:04 am
I dropped and broke my Splenda bowl this morning. Now I know where to get a cheap replacement. Thanks!
April 6, 2011 at 6:02 pm
And it won’t break. I have that exact same bowl in one bathroom for cotton balls. I dropped it the other day, and instead of breaking when it hit the counter, that knob on the lid took out a big chip of tile.

The kissing kids pendent is sold at Forever21 as well, it’s 2.99! The candy dish one is full of derp. They wrote “bidding” instead of purchasing. The price for the “screaming monk” is … amazing.
April 6, 2011 at 10:06 am
The Obama plate had a “not food safe” label on it. Maybe that’s why it’s worth 10 times more than the Amazon one? I mean, they’re both not food safe, right? So really, the etsy seller is looking out for her customers and that’s worth moving the decimal place one to the right, isn’t it?
April 6, 2011 at 8:15 pm
That would only work with people who are too stupid to realize you’re not SUPPOSED to eat off a Commemorative Plate in the first place.
April 6, 2011 at 10:06 am
The apothecary jar particularly chafes because not only is the seller attempting to screw you…but they just copied and pasted their Ebay listing text.
Guess what, fucktard…In spite of some thinking it’s a “flea market”…there is no actual BIDDING going on at Etsy.
Cept for my soul, it seems.
April 6, 2011 at 10:08 am
retro != vintage
Retro does not equal Vintage
RETRO DOES NOT EQUAL VINTAGE!!!!!!
(whew. I feel better now. Maybe I’ll go have some Earl Gray tea.)
April 6, 2011 at 10:15 am
Not on an empty stomach, though. You know that’ll make you womit.
April 6, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Make sure there’s some food coloring in the tea and vomit on a canvas — problem solved!
April 6, 2011 at 10:27 am
And 2008 equals neither retro nor vintage. Discuss!
April 6, 2011 at 10:30 am
Don’t you mean, “discusting”?
April 6, 2011 at 10:14 am
What a strange price for the meteorite. Seriously, for that price, say it’s fossilized T-Rex dung….
April 6, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Or a fossilized T-Rex.
April 6, 2011 at 10:15 am
Mystical, vintage, sky turds sans brass stamping octopus for $91K? I’m thinkin’ someone wanted to see themselves on Regretsy.
April 6, 2011 at 10:16 am
lovespelljewels.com links to the Phillipine seller’s Etsy shop.

“METEORITE MONK-SCREAM HEAD OF COMET METEORITE WITH FACE OUTER SPACE ROCK MASCOT FROM URAUCU BRAZIL 3 KILO SACRED MAGIC CHANNEL ENTITY METEORITE PLUS FREE BONUS GENUINE THOMAS EDISON RECORDING FREE SHIPPING PERSONAL DELIVERY OR BEST OFFER” is totally going to be my new screen name. Do you think I can break the forums?
April 6, 2011 at 10:49 am
I think that should be your real name. I want to hear an Italian woman scream that from the balcony to tell you your spaghetti is ready.
April 6, 2011 at 2:36 pm
I think that only works on Wednesdays, in the North End of Boston
April 6, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Especially if there are older siblings with equally long names, since you know an upset mother has to go through the whole list from oldest to youngest!
April 6, 2011 at 10:19 am
Looks like someone forgot to zip up their spacesuit.
April 6, 2011 at 10:19 am
There’s a meteorite at the Smithsonian and I can go look at it and touch it anytime I want. For free…
April 6, 2011 at 10:24 am
Touch my Meteorite…TOUCH HIM.
April 6, 2011 at 10:25 am
Oh no, the etsy seller with the vintage kids kissing pendant…. I’ve been reading her blog for years! She’s a sweet kid. Although, to be fair, she loooves those awful cabochon flower things. She superglues them to everything! But I can imagine that she makes good money selling her jewelry.
April 6, 2011 at 10:26 am
I looked at the other listings of the monk-scream meteorite seller… He has a “jesus face” rock that looks pretty similar, but he sewed it four removable hats AND a headband, and it’s like, 1/90th the price. Just in case anyone fell in love was looking for a *really* good deal.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/11154280/mysterious-jesus-face-cool-black-jesus?ref=pr_shop
April 6, 2011 at 10:32 am
Jesus has a pimpin’ hat. Who knew?
April 6, 2011 at 10:36 am
Oh, I love this one. It it were $10, I’d buy it.
April 6, 2011 at 12:38 pm
This might be more in your price range, then. It just comes with the one holiday hat, though, I’m afraid.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/63850620/bearded-dragon-lizard-lightning
April 6, 2011 at 10:37 am
I have seen that listing before. Was it here? Maybe it was the twitter feed, @StupidShitonEtsy. It was a long time ago. I can’t believe he hasn’t sold that one yet.
April 6, 2011 at 10:45 am
“I ALSO MADE JESUS FACE A TESLA LIGHTNING FUSION HEADBAND FROM AN ELECTRONICS PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SECURITY SYSTEM IN AN UNDERGROUND ***EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIEN BASE IN COLORADO. HIS TESLA HAT REALLY BOOSTS HIS THIRD EYE MIND MELD ENERGY WHERE THE TESLA COIL IS CONNECTED TO HIS BLOW HOLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS FOREHEAD. TODAY I WILL ALSO RE-ENERGIZE HIS HAT AND JESUS FACE WITH MY ENERGIZING BALANCING STONES FROM KANSAS FOR WORLD PEACE AND LAUGHTER THROUGH OUT THE LAND ON CHRISTMAS.”
Wow. This seller is all kinds of crazy. Apparently this rock will also “help enhance space ship landings”…
April 6, 2011 at 10:51 am
“”THE BIGGEST WEAPON ON THE PLANET IS TO MAKE THEM LAUGH SO HARD THEY ALL DROP THEIR WEAPONS”!!!!! ;o)”
it is also steampunk.
Oh dear, I think that am in frank internet love with this Energetic Jesus Santa Hat Spaceship seller person.
April 6, 2011 at 11:31 am
I’ll bet his neighbors love living next door to Energetic Jesus Santa Hat Spaceship seller person too.
Although the space ship traffic would be a bitch to deal with.
April 6, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Then follow your heart. Just be aware you’ll be living in an abandoned underground nuclear shelter somewhere in Nevada, distilling your own urine to drink and subsisting on a diet of whatever lizards and small animals you can snare.
Also be aware he probably hasn’t showered, shaved or cut his hair since shortly after the Summer of Love.

The necklace was actually part of Forever 21′s $1.50 selections a couple months back, they cycle through them pretty quickly though so I think it’s gone.
April 6, 2011 at 10:42 am
Shouldn’t that be shunted off to Forever 12?
April 6, 2011 at 10:12 pm
Pretty much, I always buy a bunch of their shitty $1.50 necklaces cause they’re random. I’ve got lips, a zebra, a fat ass unicorn, and a robot just to name a few. My coworkers think they’re hilarious, but one of the girls who also works there kept telling me to get the kissing kids cause it was “cute” I never did though. I finally just told her I wasn’t getting it cause it wasn’t as fucking random as my others and kinda creepy like those dutch kids in old folks yards.
April 6, 2011 at 10:45 am
I adore how that little red sticker tells me that “food consumed” on the Obama plate “might be harmful.” Nothing says American hope like lead paint from China.
April 6, 2011 at 10:49 am
The “monk scream magic channel entity meteorite” looks like a piece of coal to me.
April 6, 2011 at 10:54 am
I got my kissing charm in a gumball machine for 25 cents back in the day. I think it was on a key ring, and I think I still have it. Wonder how much it has appreciated since then?
And the description of that piece of crap made my head hurt. Random words strung together do not a description make. On the other hand, I guess it’s better than saying, “Bull Hockey, $91,101.01.”
April 6, 2011 at 11:05 am
Since when is 2008 vintage? And since when are meteorites handmade?
*brainsplode*
April 6, 2011 at 12:54 pm
You’re not keeping up with the conspiracy theorists. Meteorites are (a) handmade by the “aliens” who live inside our planet (and send out ships for observance, hence UFOs) or (b) handmade by aliens from other planets who then play their version of badminton in low-gravity and too frequently hit one over the barrier. Then of course there’s (c) the seller is an imbecile.
April 6, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Well I don’t know about you, but I’m makin’ a new tinfoil hat just for the occasion!

I think this would go great with that necklace – too bad she already sold it…
April 6, 2011 at 11:12 am
and then of course there’s this and this and this and …
April 6, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Guess what? She has another one up for sale: http://etsy.me/gS8KBe Amazing how she’s found this cache of vintage kissing kids jewelry. What are the odds??
April 6, 2011 at 1:02 pm
I guess if you space out your listings enough, it all seems like ‘one of a kind’…
April 6, 2011 at 1:18 pm
What happened here is she bought a bunch of them from love jewels, went back into 70-s, then went back into 2011 only to find her stash nicely “vintaged” ready to be sold on Etsy.
April 6, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Or she found a gumball machine with the Stalest Gum On Earth.
April 6, 2011 at 11:10 am
I love that the Compare and Save! logo has the mom and child looking at the ballsless briefs on their laptop. Mama looks as if she likes, a lot.
April 6, 2011 at 6:08 pm
I hadn’t even noticed what they were looking at. The girl looks pretty happy at the prospect of ballsless briefs, too.
April 6, 2011 at 11:14 am
Huh, I would have imagined that the intersection of “People willing to drop wads of cash for purported meteorite bits” and “People who want a genuine Thomas Edison recording” would be a vanishingly small number.
Interesting little freebie he threw in there to sweeten the pot.
April 6, 2011 at 2:25 pm
I was wondering about the “genuine Thomas Edison recording” too. I’m thinking it works like a seashell- the recording is inside the meteorite turd, you hold it up to your ear and the voices in your head supply the rest…
April 6, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I was thinking the same. Whatever the fuck it is, I know I want it.

I’m not getting terrarium as an application for the sugar bowl. By the time you put dirt in it, there wouldn’t be room for much of a plant. I guess you could toss some old bread in there and have a mold terrarium.
April 6, 2011 at 12:50 pm
I think we may already have one of those…
April 6, 2011 at 6:09 pm
I guess I could put moss from our yard in it.
April 6, 2011 at 11:30 am
My Target sugar bowl is being featured on Regretsy! This is a fantastic day.
April 6, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Mine came from Fred Meyer!
April 6, 2011 at 11:45 am
I spy, with my little eye…
Camel Toe!
April 6, 2011 at 12:08 pm
the “antique boy and girl kissing” necklace? yeah. i have the bracelet and my buddy has the necklace. 1$ in the target dollar bin.
April 6, 2011 at 12:22 pm
If the Obama Plate girl sold cafeteria-style food, it would be as though Woolworth’s never closed! How Nostalgic!
April 6, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Or maybe she is going for the CVS thing, they also sell Snuggies, and pink wallets such as the one she features.
April 6, 2011 at 12:51 pm
I am apparently a giant nerd. I’m staring at the poop picture and trying to determine based on the hooves whether that’s a cow or a goat. Hrmmm.
April 6, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Llama?
April 6, 2011 at 8:26 pm
well it’s not cow hooves. might be goat. the angle looks like short legs. will have to go out and look at goat feet tomorrow. maybe have the picture to compare…might me llama though??
April 6, 2011 at 1:08 pm
Another way to quit your day job is to resell 99 cent sewing patterns from Joann’s. Like this listing for Simplicity 2198:
“This is a brand new pattern, I just pulled from my local fabric store’s pattern drawers this weekend. They have the best sales ever, and I always try to pick up some patterns I think my customers would enjoy using for their creations.”
At least she’s being brutally honest!
April 6, 2011 at 1:08 pm
The first Obama plate comes with “no food” sticker, hence $45 mark-up.
April 6, 2011 at 1:12 pm
The beauty of buying on Etsy is that artisans are most of the time happy to customize your item for you. The glass jar guy is willing to customize the quantity…
April 6, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I know right? I can have one OR three? Ah America–the land of choices.
April 6, 2011 at 3:01 pm
But is there a customizable smell included. I need a certain size smell if I’m going to use this as a place to keep my ideals.
April 6, 2011 at 3:14 pm
I’m afraid you’ll have to change the size of the smell yourself, it’s luxury enough as it is that the seller is offering custom quantity, we can’t expect too much after that…
April 6, 2011 at 8:21 pm
That’s O.K.; it’s a bit too big for my ideals anyway.
April 6, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I love the way the sellers set their price points. There must be a reseller dart board out there somewhere. The outer ring is $14 but if you hit the bullseye you can charge 90 grand!
April 6, 2011 at 5:13 pm
You should totally make one of those, or 4, you could customize the number.
April 6, 2011 at 1:30 pm
This meteorite has a page long description of how magical it is, how it can make you laugh and drop your weapons, heal you, bla-bla-bla, this seller should really keep it for himself since it’s so multifunctional!
Yet he did go into the bother of writing such a long description which means he’s positive that someone might go for it. Which also means that this meteoshite can make you daft…
April 6, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Why do I picture this seller with an aluminum foil hat?
April 6, 2011 at 3:49 pm
maybe because he’s been exposed to his meteorite for too long?
April 6, 2011 at 1:54 pm
I appreciate the subtle nod to llamas in the shitpic.
April 6, 2011 at 1:56 pm
The necklace lady also has a mustache necklace and a chrysanthemum ring. I feel like she might be messing with us.

April 6, 2011 at 3:19 pm
Compare and safe is one of my favourite categories, and I can’t believe it’s only now that I paid attention to what the woman and child are so eagerly looking at on their screen…
April 6, 2011 at 4:33 pm
YOU SAVE $10.33!
Um, what happened to the other dollar? 15 minus 3.67 is 11.33. Don’t hate, I have a math degree! I can’t help it!
April 6, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Didn’t you know? Regretsy math is always warped…:)

Regretsy EVERYTHING is warped. That’s why I like it here.
April 6, 2011 at 4:53 pm
“NEED MORE THEN ONE? WE DO CUSTOM QUANTITY ORDERS!”
Being able to purchase a specific number of something makes it a “custom quantity.” Really?
also, than. THAN.
April 6, 2011 at 5:58 pm
You DO get a free crystal with the meteorite purchase…sooo…I would say that seals the deal.
April 6, 2011 at 8:25 pm
well etsy got off its ass and removed the plate and other shit in that chicks shop plus dish and necklace
http://www.etsy.com/listing/71090720/dolce-toe-socks this is still up though.. the seller was selling an snuggie too. christ!
April 6, 2011 at 10:10 pm
HA! I have that sugar jar.
April 7, 2011 at 5:57 am
With a price of 91,101.01, we’re left with only one inevitable conclusion, this is the meterorite that brought down the WTC! 9/11 was an Extra-terrestrial job!!!!
