Lucky Lunch
Dana-Farber is auctioning a meal with Larry Lucchino. I could be satirical, but the item description is amusing on its own:
Lowest Acceptable Bid: $2,100.00
Starting Bid: $1,000.00
Bid Increment: $100.00
Quantity: 1
Condition: Excellent
Auction Ends: 12/8/2006 5:00:00 PM
Is the guarantee of excellent condition referring to before or after déjeuner?
Comments
I simply don't understand that auction structure. If the lowest acceptable bid is $2,100, why not make the starting bid? Why go through the motions of having a $1,000 opening bid? It makes me want to go bid $1,500 just to be a jerk, but then I realize doing things just to spite charitable organizations may reflect poorly on my character. I'd hate for that to come back and haunt me.

Well, at least you didn't call anyone "macaca." That should get you banned from here, you know.
Because no matter how you use it, it's racist. I'll have to ban myself now.

Full disclosure: I dropped an "N-bomb" once. Well, kind of. I was mispronouncing the African country "Niger". Also, I was 7. But given that context is irrelevant, I figured I should come clean.
