eBay WTF of the Day: This is your purse on drugs.

This purse is like a mental breakdown.Here's a big WTF from seller Davitcio: "SELDOM SEEN 1922 BEADED BAG BOX PURSE UNUSUAL." All in caps.

Seldom seen? We're never seen anything like it! It's kind of like someone wrote down all the ideas for purses they'd ever had, then took a lot of drugs, then ate the piece of paper, then dreamt an even crazier version of this purse, and then worked day and night while listening to a strange mix of Enya and Bob Marley. No, it's not "kind of" like that. It's exactly like that.

Here are my top five questions about this eBay listing:
1. Are you sure it's from 1922? I could write 1922 on my dress right now. My dress would still be from 1997. (shame)

2. Why does it say "BOX" on it in a caterpillar-esque alternation of dark and light green beads?

3. Is the design on the front an eyeless fish in a pool of its own blood?

4. Did someone have a lot of leftover friendship bracelets from camp and sew them to the bottom of it?

5. What's that paraphernalia in the background of this shot? Seriously.

WTF?

Oh wow, this may actually be the best WTF yet. It's an arts and crafts project gone horribly, horribly wrong.

You missed a key detail! Look at the link again. The seller goes to great pains to show that '1922' is beaded on the bottom, but look at it. Is it just me or does that look exactly like it originally said 1999 and someone added little tails on the bottom to make the last two nines look like twos? Little fish tails. Fishy fish tails. Fishy indeed. Doesn't matter. It's truly a hideous POS someone probably made in camp for their blind grandmother who could at least see well enough to know to give it to Good Will. My word. Keep the WTFs coming. They make my day.

also the 1920's is not the depression era.
