The Michael Jackson auction? Yeah, that auction. I figured it was over-the-top, I figured there was huge amounts of stuff that had no earthly purpose, I figured Hard Rock would buy stuff.

Just think about this for a minute. Maybe you've written a poem lately. (I know several folks on my flist have written poems that are better than this one.)

Or this?
Or "Hi, I'm King Arthur. See?"
I know we all have the things we consider essential that others don't, but ... dude.
