Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>That grilled cheese sandwich closed for $28,000 from a legitimate bidder!!!! Here is a story on it:<br /><br /><a href="http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20041122230809990009" target=_new>http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20041122230809990009</a><br /><br />People are SO STUPID!!!!! I don't know about you, but I'm turning my attention to food collectibles. Anyone for some egg foo yong with the likeness of the Buddha? A bagel with Rabbi Schneerson's image in cream cheese? How about the famous Pope In The Pizza, a la Father Guido Sarducci?

Posted By: <b>Jeff S</b><p>the scene from "Striptease" (movie or book -- if you're skeptical of Striptease-the-movie references, check out the novel by Carl Hiassen) where Ving Rhames plants an insect in his lunch so he can sue?<br /><br />That would be the ultimate bizarro twist to this story -- it may have a religious likeness, but it's tainted!

Posted By: <b>Gary B.</b><p>The winning bid was by GoldenPalace.com, an online casino, and if you'll recall, an exact quote from the auction itself stated, "I have won $70,000 (total) on different occasions at the casino near by my house..."<br /><br />This just stands to reason, and I believe is ample proof as to the grilled cheese sandwich's legitimacy - everyone knows the Virgin Mary was a ferocious gambler.

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>the promised e-mail never showed up...I already saw the auction results, but I didn't know about any "Golden Palace." Except the one in "A Soldier's Story." Yes, you can get one of those GORGEOUS highbrid cars for 20K...

Posted By: <b>Bob Luce</b><p>This makes the $29,900 paid for a piece of wedding cake from the Duke of Windsor/Wallis Simpson wedding seem like a bargain in comparison.<br /><br />However, I'd guess that GoldenPalace.com gets more than $28,000 worth of advertising out of this, so maybe everybody wins (especially the sandwich itself).
