:: whoops ::
Just sent that link off to half a dozen folks.
Don't know anything about a chicken site, but has the Peeps surgery site disappeared for good?

p.s. Ace, is there something you'd like to share with us? (about why you were looking for wedding dresses?) ;D

Eek, I don't know what's more horrifying, the idea of looking for a wedding dress or looking for one on EBAY! I got the link from someone else in e-mail. And looking at that counter, which was at about 4 million when I looked in the morning and was over 6 million the last time I clicked so have many many others! ;D ;D I don't know about the Peeps surgery site but here: www.subservientchicken.com/Ace |

I don't even want to think about what kinds of things people ask it to do, but it will do an Irish step dance. LOL I'll have to see if I can find the Peep surgery thing. It was pretty funny. cg |

I guess when one makes peace with the idea of buying a wedding dress, buying one on eBay doesn't seem that horrifying.  Last year a fried got despaired trying to find a dress she liked and somebody suggested trying eBay - the idea was "buy 10, they're cheap, try them on, keep the one you like, and sell the remaining 9." Unfortunately, she found out that on eBay the picture was same as elsewhere - she didn't like the cheap ones nor the price of the ones she liked - so she bought a dress elsewhere. BTW, I emailed her husband the link and he said while looking for a dress they saw one size 32. Boggles the mind, eh? (And no, before you ask - the friend is about 3 times smaller than that.) |

Well, let's be fair. If you're a size 32, chances are wedding dresses are hard to come by, so trying to re-sell/looking for a "only used once" one isn't such a bad idea. But eBay wouldn't be where I'd think to go looking, either, personally, no matter the size. But that one on the guy was pretty. cg |

If you're size 32, finding the right wedding dress is hardly the biggest problem. From where I stand, of course. IMO, buying a wedding dress on eBay isn't any different from renting one. I'm sure for some it's all right.

You do the usual <url> thing but like this:
<url=long.ugly.link>pretty short word</url>
(Replace <> with square brackets.) Then the long.ugly.link will be hidden and "pretty short word" is what everybody will see.
