Ebay is fun

Sentimental Value is pretty amazing. They’re scavenging all of the weird clothing listings on ebay. It’s way weirder than it sounds. Here’s one

Black Khakis

Wifey says that all the Stuff hidden in the Garages, under the Bed & the Day-Bed, & all the extra cars & *Stuff* has got to start Going. (She promised me a Smart Car if I do, which with the price of Gasoline right now & Coupled with my age doesn’t appear to be too unattractive to me at this point.

Actual ebay listing

I think they missed the best part of the mysterious Black Khakis listing:

About Me:
I am a remarried father who enjoys offering quality products.
I have a dreaded ex-wife which is like having leprosy. Funny…I’ve enjoyed a very happy & solid 2nd run for almost 10 years now.
I work full time and we are raising two teenagers (one of each!).
For the past 3 years, I have worked as a Level 1/2 Senior I.T. Service Desk Technician and have a sum total of 10 years of PC/Networking experience starting with the IBM 486 Turbo Self Built (in 1997) computer.
I enjoy computer gaming and anything having to do with coffee.

Here’s the thing, I like pants. Pants are pretty handy. I’m not sure if I’d want used pants from someone who has used the word leprosy in the listing in any way, shape or form. But maybe that’s just me. Anyway, check out the site.

Update! The black khakis story has become even more interesting. A bit of research has revealed not only his completely fantastic ebay profile (the first one I’ve ever actually seen someone fill out), but he’s on MySpace! The text is everything we could hope for from the author of the Black Khaki Manifesto.
