Upon rating this thread with a positive in StumbleUpon, I was surprise to see that it hadn't yet been rated.

I hope the description that I added does it some justice.

Oh, and can the flaming scorpions bring their friends, the flaming bees?

Don't forget the fire monkeys....

As much as I would love THAT particular idea (and would forgive the Mac for that transgression), I live in an apartment, so I have no backyard. Where my backyard would be is actually another apartment. Not just any apartment, mind you, but the apartment of the complex manager. So graves dug there WOULD in fact cause an interesting situation, to say the least.

How about we just find a way to bury those spammers in the street and pave right over them?

You're in the Keys. Just take them out in a boat, give them concrete shoes...

... but be polite. Make sure those concrete shoes are salt-water safe.

Funnier if she successed

Just saw this video today from Dallas where a woman attempted to buy every iphone at a store.....

Dallas woman attempts to buy $100 000 worth of iPhones

I just went on E-Bay to see if people are really selling I-Phones when they can go to a local store to buy one. First, I have not heard of any shortages like there was with the PS3 or Wii, so why do people think people will pay more over E-Bay (yes, there are dumb people but not that many when the product is available down the street).

Anyway I notice there are bids in the $500-600 range but lots of I-Phones offered for more have no bids at-all. I think if this lady had gotten the phones she would have ended up with a large pile of stock and no customers. She probably lost less money getting only the one phone than if she had bought out the entire store.

quoting: "Here's Corey Spring at Newsvine analysing sales on eBay and discovering that 52% of iPhones on the site didn't sell and the average profit on the units was $34 or 5.6%. It's tempting to dismiss tales of $700 sales as anomalies, since the overall trend still argues against a shortage."

Nice to see the scalpers - scalped!

That's the sad truth, I would have loved to see them let her buy a large number (but not all of them) and then she's stuck with them and all the plans and all the activation fees and all the cancellation fees.
