I'm afraid that it will soon become worn and threadbare....
Can you reassure me this is not the case?
Quack!!

At nine posts (ten now!) are you going to be lowering the price? I doubt it's worth four goats anymore. I'll give you three goats and a rutabega.

I would buy it, but, alas, I don't have any mudcat currency and am unaware of exchange rate to know exactly how much my $0.02 worth would give me toward a bid for the thread.

Dear Skipy;

This is a poor excuse for taking money fron guillable mudcat persons. I'll give you 3 gallons of Brakespeares slops (only 2 days old) and seven cans of unknown bitter - all the writing has rusted off and they're bulging a bit.

This is my final offer.

Yours

Dorothy Mouseposture (Miss)

I could use some new threads myself, do you have another one?

I'll bid some used socks, and a song (you may have to collect both) but only if you can supply at least a pair of threads.

I was devalued by half as soon as you drove it off the lot.

You should have left it alone and went for a used thread.

I would be interested in a timeshare, provided I can put it in a limited partnership so it is sheltered from taxes. Or, I will buy advertising on the thread. How about selling adspace?   Could make millions. If is a nonprofit thread, we could have a phonebank and have charitible contributions. Could this be done offshore in Jersey, Switzerland or the Caymans? I am just throwing out some ideas to increase your marketability. I KNOW!!! how about an IPO!

Sorry Skipy but Breezy has bagged the advertising rights for this side of the pond as far north as Watford Gap services.

You know what they say - HAT RED - no draws but what do they know - I am sitting here in my red hat and red shoes and neither saying applies. My draws are red. But then I just got back from the Cheltenham Festival Ceilidh.
