Not since Mariah Carey has glitter bombed so spectacularly .

The troll founder of a troll website ended up getting trolled by his own trollish idea earlier this week, but he's still looking to capitalize on it through a potential sale.

Ship Your Enemies Glitter briefly offered to live up to its name, before quickly going viral and having to suspend orders for the foreseeable future, founder Matthew Carpenter told The Huffington Post.

He said the site received over 1.3 million visits and was shared about 300,000 times on Facebook and Twitter within its first 24 hours.

"I'm now going to be packing and shipping glitter to thousands of people constantly for the next few weeks," Carpenter wrote in an email Wednesday. "I'm not sure if I should thank you for the write up."

Carpenter told HuffPost that he removed the order form from the site after he hit about 2,300 orders. He said he now wants to sell the operation. The site's order form now reads:

Purchasing has been temporarily suspended. You guys have a sick fascination with shipping people glitter. We've received all orders & working through them. There was a tonne so be patient.

"This was only supposed to be a side project, so I'm looking for a buyer that can stand being around glitter for longer than 24 hours, unlike me," Carpenter said.

That is hilarious. Australian humor. I saw it well after he had suspended, so I figured it was all just a big joke. Thanks for the follow-up!

Poetic justice. Love it.

Is it an unwritten rule that people don't bath for at least a week before going to the DMV?

So what I'm reading is… business opportunity!

Why is my new copy of LSW covered in glitter?

[billchao]

My laptop froze and I turned it off manually. I turned it back on and it's stuck in boot up (attempting repairs to it not being properly shut down). I don't think I say this enough, but I hate computers. Update: So apparently my hatred for computers led to the demise of my laptop. I got "too firm" with it and damaged the hard drive. Yay for self-inflicted wounds :8)

After seeing another specialist this morning, we still don't have an answer on my wife's coughing fits that have been happening since Oct. Her lungs, heart check out and the GI specialist doesn't think it's related to reflux. At a loss here...

Sorry Shane. Prayers.

Sorry Shane. Prayers.

Thanks. She's about to lose her mind.

I know from experience that not knowing can sometimes be way more stressful than dealing with the actual illness once you've found out.

In our thoughts, Spackler. Don't mean to make light of it by changing the subject, but saw this topic on the Today Show:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2015/01/26/sam-smith-stay-with-me-tom-petty-i-wont-back-down/22346051/

Tom Petty is getting money from Sam Smith for this. I know when I first heard Sam Smith's Stay with Me , I told my daughter it was a copy of " Won't Back Down ." We youtubed the comparison and she agreed.

So time goes by and I think nothing of it, until on the Today Show this morning, they played the clips, and they panned the decision to give Tom Petty some royalties and only would admit that vaguely sounded familiar!  Matt Lauer said it was a lucky day for Tom Petty, because it was a stretch that the songs were related! I couldn't believe what I heard!!! They sound friggin identical to me.

Here's a couple images on their music sheets:

Ok so the accompanying chords on the top line are a TINY bit off, but the notes are nearly identical, right? (red identical and purple is similar in pics above)

My wife said they were different too, so I hummed one of them and told her to guess which I hummed. She guessed "Stay with Me" but I was humming "Won't Back Down." Lol. Or was I?

[colin007]

Yeah, Sam Smith, whatever. The girls love him though...

Anyone remember the name of the 1980's casual burger restaurant that had a speaker/mic combo on the table used to order. Kind of had a retro diner vibe. Wasn't fast food because they served beer.

No, but it needs to make a comeback!
