Another Man's Junk

Got junk in your trunk that's keeping you in a funk?

Mike Manning, a recent Clayville Community Tech graduate, may have help for you.

"I had the super-good luck to take a trip outside of Clayville last week and got connected--that's what they call it--to the mega freeway, or something like that. Then I got the idea. This is what Clayville needs to catch up and clean out. It's like an electronic garage sale. What could possibly be bad about that?"

Ignoring trademark and copyright infringement, ClayBay is scheduled to "go live" early this month. Unlike other online auction houses, ClayBay does not charge a listing fee or take a percentage of the selling price. How do they pay the light bill? "I work in my grandma's basement," Manning said. "I got a helper to fetch my pops and empty my jar when things get really busy."

Manning suggested that this year, when the Trash Train rolls down the tracks, it just might be traveling a little bit lighter.

Clayville Comments...

Does Not Compute

Clayville Community College is a joke. Their Computer Science program is as follows: Day 1: clean crud off mouse balls; Day 2: clean crud off your balls; Day 3: graduation day!

ClayBay will NOT work. Mike Manning should have the word RETARD stamped in red ink on his school ID and permanently tattooed on his forehead.

P.S. I will be hacking your computer, you idiot!

Eat Your Young

Hello, Mike. I make edible baby dolls out of dried fruit, potato chips, and peanuts. I would like to sell my baby dolls on ClayBay. Thank you for making this service available to us!

P.S. I also make peanut-free dolls for those with nut allergies. Just use code: P-free when ordering. Thanks!

You're In!

Granny Gert:
Do you do custom orders? I need a P-Free squirrel monkey doll dressed as a cowboy. Instead of a horse, can you make him riding a big turtle? Ideally, the monkey and turtle would be two pieces. Maybe you could leave a hole in the seat of the monkey's pants and keep a post sticking out of the turtle's back. I'll leave that part up to you. YOU ARE *THE* DESIGNER LOL.

I'll check back for your reply.

Brain Food

Granny Gert:
I need edible dolls for a food fight that would feed a group of 40 hungry singles. Will the dolls fall apart upon impact? Can you put the dressing and sauce on the side please? I don't want a huge mess.

Dirt Sandwich or Mud Pie?

I read your article about Claybay and I've been working on my own online exchange and thought we might get together & combine our ideas. I've been trying to bring together people who are giving away Free Fill Dirt with people who are looking for Free Fill Dirt. I'd like to set up a web 2.0 online b2b exchange that would generate revenue by taking a small percentage of every transaction.

What do you think? Start-up costs would be no more than $2 million.

Sorry, forgot to leave my name. How else will you get back to me on my offer? It's Tim.
