Here's one of the funniest auctions I've seen yet:
Famous Sugar Auction

I especially like the tag Czeckerland Republic is not only a country of famous Absinthes, it is also country where cube sugar was invented.

Yup, I NEVER drink Filterated Czeckerland Xit (sic) without my Czeckerland SUGAR! (& such a deal, too!)

Maybe we should post this on ABG; this stuff seems perfect for lighting on fire. flamethrower.gif

See, and I didn't know that's where sugar cubes came from.

To think, if it weren't for one man's klutzy wife and several months of brain racking, we'd all be losing digits left and right.

Well, I know where I'm going for my next vacation.

See, eBay can be instructional too! Who woulda thunk it, that sugar cubes were invented by an oversexed Czeckerland!

I like the bright pink box and the heart shaped "cubes".
All they need are those little Valentine sayings.A perfect
Czeckerland Valentine's gift with a bottle of Hill's. nopity.gif You

The real split-personality bit is when they go on to accurately describe the *French* absinthe ritual, instead of the Czeckerland cube-burning one...
