Just wondering, Phil, is this your joke? Or your friend's? Cause nowhere else in the blogoverse have I seen this yet, and it starts today, and it has no bids. I'm not dissing it, I'm just in an emperor clothes sale kinda mood. posted by cavalier at 9:54 AM on February 1, 2005
wow, he says travel is at his own expense. i'm tempted to bid just to see if he actually comes all the way to new orleans. i don't know what i'd do with him once he got here, though. posted by Igor XA at 9:59 AM on February 1, 2005
And this guy's going to ship himself for free from Israel? I'm almost tempted to bid on this myself. (Not that I need the date..) posted by daHIFI at 10:01 AM on February 1, 2005
My friend sent it to me through AIM and far as I know he didn't set it up cavalier. posted by philcliff at 10:05 AM on February 1, 2005

Well, since he's psychic he knew his destination well ahead of time and was able to get cheap tickets. posted by bitmage at 10:08 AM on February 1, 2005
Let me be the first to say I would not care at all if this were a self-link. In fact, that would make it just that much more creepy-hilarious. posted by odinsdream at 10:08 AM on February 1, 2005

Great buyer! Thanks for the quick payment! A+++++ posted by poppo at 10:10 AM on February 1, 2005

Hmmm, he's gotten some negative feedback.
For his buying, not his poetry. posted by tommasz at 10:12 AM on February 1, 2005
An Israeli psychic poet? What, does he do sonnets about spoon bending? posted by PinkStainlessTail at 10:17 AM on February 1, 2005
Hmmm, he's gotten some negative feedback.
For his buying, not his poetry.
If there were justice, it would be for both. If he's psychic, couldn't he channel someone good, like Shakespeare, and take credit for it?

An impatient Israeli psychic poet? With a nice little cheesy flava-sava baby 'stache? And the pirate shirt is classy and sexy ($14.50 in the International Male catalog I bet).
Damn, I smell a new Fox series. posted by fenriq at 10:21 AM on February 1, 2005
He misspelled "psychotic", as in "psychotic poet". posted by Reverend Mykeru at 10:31 AM on February 1, 2005
This may be a leap of logic but since he seems SO fascinated by postcards...are we at all sure that the pic he displays is not just another postcard and THAT is what will arrive, at his own expense with a rose and his autographed book? I mean, I can't imagine WHY that pic would be a postcard but it takes all kinds to make a whirled. posted by Griffins_posse at 10:32 AM on February 1, 2005

"what I should expect for our first date."
Surely he would know if he was any good as a psychic. posted by milkwood at 10:37 AM on February 1, 2005
Don't want to be alone on Valentines Day?

I was disappointed by the photo.
No matter how closely I looked I was unable to find an unexpected reflection of an antique kettle. posted by devbrain at 12:00 PM on February 1, 2005
Romantic evening that I want to end on your porch
It's good that he has low expectations.
You'll close my eyes,
saying you prevented the sun to rise,
water the flower in my tox,
make it blosome,
leave your kiss on my face,
making me more handsome
I was going to fool around with this and make it funnier...but really it is funny enough as is.
I find it incredibly funny that this romantic psychic poet has a list on Amazon of Kurt Russell's all time best movies posted by ReggieNoble2 at 1:44 PM on February 1, 2005

Why would anyone give him negative feedback for bidding on an item, paying for it and then telling the seller to just keep it? Seems like a win/win for the seller. posted by fizz-ed at 3:12 PM on February 1, 2005
Feedback left for others:

Looks like the fun's over...eBay cut off the psychic poet.
I wonder if he predicted that.
And I must say, he has....interesting....tastes in music. Though I may have dated people almost as bad as Mir, at least I never went out with a Celine Dion fan.
Finally, I am totally bummed that no one picked up on my extremely witty and apropos link to "The Gift" by Velvet Underground. posted by MiHail at 5:13 PM on February 1, 2005
