eBay feedback is generally very generic and uninspired. Here are some that I use that I think are a little better:

If my only son could have one transaction as SMOOTH as this TRANSACTION he will have lived a very full life.

Transaction satisfied my unquenchable thirst for CHARACTER, DELIVERED PROMISES AND UNPARALLELED SMOOTHNESS.

A HAIKU: We did business once/ a SMOOTH TRANSACTION was had/ so I recommend.

If global diplomacy were as AGREEABLE, SMOOTH and EXCELLENT as this TRANSACTION, we would all live in HARMONY, PEACE and JOY.

Our transaction was much like aloe vera lotion - smooth, satisfying, unscented.

I will always remember this transaction as the Platonic ideal of what an internet mediated transaction should be.

If this transaction were an international amateur athletic competition, it would be the Olympics, since I cannot think of anything better than the Olympics or this transaction.

In some ways, our transaction was like ice, in that it was very smooth. But it was not cold at all. It was actually quite warm.

Not to mince words, but DAMN! THIS IS A GREAT SELLER!

cactus : desert plant :: our transaction : smooth transaction

I can't believe I lived my entire life up to this point without a transaction that was as smooth as this one.

[ END of ANNOYING EBAY FEEDBACK COMMENTARY ]

While I was returning home from the library (where I saw a kid with a rat-tail, so I knew it was going to be a pretty good day), I realized I could rearrange the letters on the neighborhood sign to say, among many others, "WHORE CONGRESS" or "RICHEST WHORES" (I've tried to focus on more vulgar ones that would offend my neighbors). Also "NO RIGHTS HERE" and possibly "WHO SCORES ISNIDE?" (that one would take a little bending). There are two signs - metal letters attached to brick - so a Dremel could probably remove them and some silicon caulk could put them back in my order. The obvious problem is: A) it's on a fairly busy street. B) wicked nosy neighbors. C) neighbors lacking a broad, community-oriented sense of humor.

My brother works at the horse racing track and he was explaining some things to me, like how any time before a race you can buy a horse in a claiming race for the listed claiming price (that's why really fast horses don't race below their class). He said his boss bought owned a horse for about a week. It costs another $17 a day for food, plus whatever you pay the trainer (if you want to know who is going to win a race, see if a trainer will give you a tip). And if you win a race with the horse you bought, you have to give a certain percentage to the jockey and all those other people. In conclusion, my brother and I want to buy a horse for a few days. Here's a fact: it's not just Win-Place-Show that get money. The 4th and 5th place horses do, too. On a race with a $10,000 purse 4th would get $750 and 5th gets $250.
