The prompt?
We want you to imagine you’ve just had a fight with a friend, a co-worker, husband, significant other, child – you get the picture. You’re mad. It’s time for revenge.
What would you sell?
Write a humorous listing for eBay or Craig’s List. Talk about the history of the items, why they must go.
Someone, who shall remain nameless, left a slew of DVDs at my house. (oh and a case of strawberry daiquiri wine coolers in which I drank WAY too many of the other night. Don’t ask what happened after.) Anyway, THAT person (also known as my “Cheating-smelling-like-another-chick-classic-lipstick-on-the-collar-not-in-my-shade-EX” ) may or may not have had crappy taste in movies. That’s for you to decide. On the bright side, it’s a fantastically varied collection; there is certainly NO denying that. $20 for the whole stinkin’ lot of ‘em, k?
Included are the following titles (in what could be your new steal-of-a-deal movie collection!!!).
Pardon my commentary…
Dumb and Dumber (yep, he was both)
Grease 2 (really? REALLY????)
Unforgiven (self explanatory)
Independence Day (… was the best day of my life!)
Some Like it Hot (I can promise you, he does not, like it “hot”, that is…)
Fast and Furious (yep, that’s more like it)
Contact (… has been cut off)
Chocolat (oh wait, I think I’ll keep this one…)
That Thing You Do (or DON’T do, which was usually the case.)
Clueless (abso-freakin’-lutely)
Big (or not. Ahem)
One Flew Over the Cukcoo’s Nest (unfortunately he stopped here on his way)
The Great Escape (my new motto since the break-up)
Rocky (that’s one way to put it…)
Liar, Liar (Yup)
The Jerk (this one’s too easy)
The Big Chill (also known as the last month of our relationship)
Call 555-1234 if you want them. Because I? Don’t.
LOL, gently used no doubt
LOL! This was great.
Loved it! The last line was the best ending.
Fantastic and fun!
Ha!
LOL thanks for the giggle this morning! “Because I? don’t. ;D
You tell it, girl!
This is fantastic! Great job!
That was SO funny! I loved your movie titles and comments!
This is great. I tried to think of something to write to go with this, but I just couldn’t get my head in that place. You did a great job.
Hehe! That is too funny.
Hahaha! I like the comment about The Great Escape especially.
Hilarious! Look at you Miss Sassypants Awesomesauce.
I’ll give you a buck for “Fast and the Furious,” hello, Paul Walker. Dreamy.
I think “Grease 2” was my favorite.
Snicker.
These were funny. “Some like it Hot” and “That thing you do” made me snort.
Very funny list!
Very clever!!
That Thing You Do (or DON’T do, which was usually the case.) Brilliant!!
YOU RULE! You brought the funny.
Loved this!
Fabulous. Very creative! I giggled through all the titles.
Totally laughing at the commentary. LOVED Big (or Not) and Chocolat. I’d keep that one too.
Very clever take on the prompt! I did actually love some of those movies…
Ha! Very creative, Elaine!
Nice! Very funny stuff. You have some of my favorite films there, too – I’d be happy to take them off your hands
Great list! Why is it that guys like “Grease 2” anyways??? Is it Michelle Pfeifer or the motorcycles?
he he…probably shouldn’t have been reading these while I was sipping my soda. let me get that off the screen…
hahaha! you are a riot my friend!
What a clever way to write the prompt! Also— I think we may have an ex in common…
I *almost* have every one listed. And please, I want to sell each and every one as well. Highest bidder?
