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

You've just devalued it by adding more letters!
Now the charity will not make as much!

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)

It was 3 lines in the box when I typed it, so I was pissed off that it became 3 when it appeared!

I meant 2 but you knew that.

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.

Is it tax deductible, can I get a deed to it and do you take plastic?

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.

From: jimmyt

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!

You can get a much better thread than this one at Wal-Mart for half the price.

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

It is indeed warped Mr Wed, and with all these posts, there can't be much weft. I don't want it.

At last some sense on the cat, once I'd cottoned on to it ("cottoned" on it! Come on, that was good for me!)

GUEST,Paranoid Android -

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.
