Another eBay saga; Seriously

Yes indeedy (Tery has a Facebook friend who begins every post with "So....," an in medias res kind of thing. I say it's a sign of deep-seated insecurity, wanting to make sure she's got people's attention before speaking, but let's see if it works for me

What's Monkey? According to Wiki, real name Robin Banks, though how they know that is anyone's guess as he is highly anonymous, being the most wanted graffiti artist in England (srsly. You can get a shirt on eBay that says "I'm Banksy" (I still might)), AND Justin Timberlake said those same words just before he presented at the Oscars (get it now?)

It is lovely to be in such a position. Don't get me wrong, I'll still hunt Dupreeks to the ends of the earth for my $189, but it's a relief that I won't be struggling with bills while doing so.

What's Cunt? (blech, hate that word) Tery says with all the online shopping I do I'm statistically doomed to have more bad transactions than others, but I prefer to think it's the universe's way of encouraging my new saving habits.

eBay is a fairly large company. Insurance, attorneys, collection agencies; Dupreeks isn't getting away with anything, I'm quite confident.

Yeah, if it was just one son, Michael, it would be one thing. But this woman had like four kids, so four times as likely to be traced back to her.

I agree with Jeff. SERIOUSLY? Although the fact that it was friendJeff commenting makes me think that Monkey may have aired in the UK only. It's based on "Journey to the West", which maybe you lucked out and didn't have to read for school but some of us were forced to read it. The best part of the show is the fantastic theme song:

This might explain a lot of things, actually. I may have been seeing Banksy references everywhere but haven't realized it. I think he may have been mentioned in Sherlock! So they know his name, but are utterly incapable of finding him? Maybe the government likes having him around for publicity.

Cunt is a book that I haven't begun reading yet. It was a random find from the banned books list (which is why I had to order it from Amazon.co.uk though it seems that some sellers have it on the US site now).

What if Dupreeks used an alias and only signed on from internet cafes? What if all of your money has been already sent to a bank in the Caymans? You've got your refund, sure, but what if Dupreeks never gets his comeuppance?
