"Shop for 'Discuss' at shop.com."

Sure, I'd like two dozen 'Discuss.' Do I get a quantity discount?

Not to mention "Free trip to Mount Everest!" (If you believe THAT one, I got a nice bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying.)

4. "Now Hiring Home Typists."
You pay $99 to train, and then you go to work for $1,000 to $7,000 per week...

3. LOL. I don't see why everyone's all worked up over these. They're
harmless. And if it works, and DU doesn't need fund drives, we can use that same money to support our causes and candidates.

I have already tuned them out. But if they have things like you just pointed out, I'm going to start reading them for the hell of it...

11. No, I'm not worked up about them. Just having some fun.
(The one on the top of this page now promises me: "Post--Cheap Prices" but they don't sell fenceposts, they sell shampoo!)

21. Hey, Haruka, what was your favorite dinosaur?
When I was a kid, it was always the Tyranosaurus Rex, the big, mean dinosaur. Now, I am kind of interested in pterodactyls because they could fly over the land and sea dinosaurs. Of course, we never pay much attention to the sea dinosaurs, do we?

7. Or how about "Hey Republican? Are you PROUD to be a Republican?"
Somehow, I think that one's kinda barking up the wrong discussion forum

12. Well, dinosaurs will do programming related to dinosaurs,
won't they. After all, it's a dinosaur -ish dinosaur thing.

But one thing I've learned in my dealings with dinosaurs, is that no matter how much they DENY being diosaurs, if you have even the slightest knowledge of dinosaurs, they always end up being dinosaurs in the end.

Because dinosaurs are like that. They just can't help being dinosaurs.

If there are any dinosaurs out there who have oposing opinions, I'll be happy to hear them. I always listen to dinosaurs.

20. The ad or search will show up with any word
Ebay results, particularly, will show up in Google in the top ten results on just about any word. It's not coincidence or good optimization, it's Google preference of particular databases - based on MONEY. Google used to be good, now it's pretty much a fraud. You'll either get big business results, individual businesses that spend a lot on adwords, or sites that are just a list of Google Ads. Occasionally not, but that's pretty much true.
