This is an old post from my now-defunct Myspace blog. I'm going to post some of the older postings in reverse chronological order to put a little meat on the bones of this puppy.

So I'm a cheapskate. If I can find something cheaper online, I'll suck it up and wait till it arrives. No instant gratification needed. Plus, that way I avoid Mayor Daley's insane over 10% sales tax. (Yes, Mayor, it's called the Internets. And it's coming to an overtaxed city near you to destroy your retail. Maybe you should, oh I don't know, not tax us to death?) But I digress.
I saw this sexy watch in a store the other day. But it was a tad too pricy for my taste. So I looked it up on eBay. Score! It was about $150 cheaper. Except one picture wasn't the same as the others. Red flag. So I e-mailed the seller a simple question: "Are the hands of the watch black or grey?"
He responded, "This watch are not black or gray, it ie steel hands, and this watch is very beautiful the colour very floweriness! I beceive you can like it! Thank you very much hope you nice day!"
Um, yeah. You know what, I'm not going to buy your watch. I get it: English is hard. But it's sort of, like, the international language of business. And floweriness! Please try, mkay?
