Mojo Request MEMORIES OF A SIMPLER TIMES: Searching on eBay for wallpapers with map patterns on them, and asking the seller if it could help me find my missing son

[smurfco]

It's basically just what the title says, I used to amuse myself by going on eBay (this would have been in the very early 2000s) and looking for wallpapers that had map patterns on them, i mean any old map like a world map, or kitcshy local town maps or whatever, and using the "ask seller a question" feature and asking "Will this map help me find my missing son?"

I can't have been the only one doing this exact thing! Who else remembers how much fun you'd have just waiting for their hilarious responses!?

Better to look for buried pirate treasure. Estranged sons are a dime a dozen.

Yes, but it backfired.
All of a sudden, I was in a frantic bidding war for my missing son.
I wasn't sure how the whole 'Ebay game' worked, so I lost him.
I still find myself teary eyed, wondering what became of the missing son I never had.

Is your son's name Waldo?

He's ship wrecked on a desert island near the tone knob
