100% to Michael Harrison.

On the assumption that no one wants the remains of Larry the Lobster or the hideous non-matching 2' peacock made of bamboo and glitter, I am creating a reverse auction. You pay NOT to get the prize. I have most of your addresses and those I don't I can get. Micca? Jacqui? Amos? Spaw? FSGWers?
Who doesn't want them the most?
Get your donations in fast. Mark zero in the bid blank and let me know in the posting section how much you are paying NOT to get some Maine hideobilia.
Or else...

Two options:
Visit the website and donate via Paypal.
If you do not have Paypal, mail check to me and I will donate via Paypal.
I am at work but will provide the link later.
Thank you for insulting my lack of taste.

$35 dollars extorted so far. Who else is in?

$35.00 for the whole load?

Subject: RE: Reverse Auction of Maine Hideobilia
From: SINSULL
Date: 22 Jun 10 - 04:45 PM

No!
The idea is to put in a donation and avoid getting a package in the mail. By the way, Kendall, I don't see a donation from you. I have a variety of singing/dancing/noisy crap some with water fountains. Be careful...
Go to the auction.

LOL
This is fun.

Apparently there is some confusion in the auction.
You are bidding NOT to receive a piece of hideobilia.
Bid any amount in the body of your post. Delete the bid amount in the title.

Even a $1 will save you.

Kendall and Tami - you are not safe but you never were.

Pictures to follow.

How are you going to handle a tie in non-responsiveness amongst several hundred non-participants? Enquiring minds want to know...


THis is like the WWVA pitch that offered a dozen baby chicks for those who called in within a week; if within two weeks, two dozen baby chicks; if within a month, thirty baby chicks. And if you never called in at all they threatened to send you fifty baby chicks AND a half-dozen placemats in genuine vinyl, "with an autographed picture of Jesus Christ and the Twelve Disciples on it".

Easy. I have a list of membvers. They all go in a hat - those who haven't participated. I pick one or two and ship. Those in Californis who call attention to themselves move to the top of the list.

$40 and climbing.
Found a whole box of dusty singing dancing running battery operated Christmas crap. There is also the life sized head of a witch in a globe which cackles (the witch not the globe) motion operated.

Do I have to add the inflatable moose? I would really hate to part with him...

Yes, especially since the inflatable lobster bit the big one.

You could really stir up the action if you promised to include the genuine Inflatable Pony ridden by Big Mick himself at the YippeeKy-ayyyy Extravaganza Getaway All Out Little Dogies Blowout Parade...

I'm in - the thought of having to explain to my parish how I ended up with an inflatable lobster or an inflatable (as opposed to flatulent?) moose gave great emphasis to my giving.

Amos, did you really have to remind us?

One the other hand, how often is one able to say "My Most Embarrassing Moment" is the same "Most Embarrassing Moment as about 20 other people.

Inquiring minds want to know; Is it true there was a petition circulated within FSGW after that particular Getaway to bar Mudcatters from future Getaways;^)
