If you enjoy talking to Flying Spaghetti Monsters before you drift off to sleep, then this book is for you. <br \/>\nThere is no dust sleeve included with  this 549 page book made exclusively from the Scrotal fur of a Unicorn. <br \/>\nThis book belonged to my mother in the 1970&#8217;s. <br \/>\nThere is a pencil scribble on the last blank page. I&#8217;m pretty sure I did that. At 4 years old, I think I was trying to spell &#8220;bullsh1t.&#8221;  <br \/>\nCut me some slack, it ended up kinda sh1tty looking, but I knew that what I was writing was true to my 4 yr. old heart.<br \/>\nAnyhoo, this completely bogus piece of crap astrological book from 1968 is up for auction. <br \/>\nIf this hunk of sh1t sells, I will donate 1\/2 of the proceeds to the charity of your choice!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=320518206925&#038;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1182\" >Check out the item listing for yourself<\/a> [eBay]<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ebaycloseup.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/consumerist.com\/ebaycloseup.JPG\" width=\"650\" height=\"183\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most sellers on eBay are busy talking up the historic and\/or kitsch value of the moldy t-shirts and sun-damaged movie posters they salvaged from their parents&#8217; crawlspace, Consumerist reader Daniel has pointed us in the direction of one item where the seller has decided to be honest about the product, for better or worse.
