Aluminum and all other metals are reserve items and will be kept for the yard sale.
These items are not to be confused with those sold
through the daz platinum club.
There will be free updates on many of the items as soon
as the beta users report back.
The snickers/mouse droppings are sold on an "as is" basis.

Hey I will bid five bucks on the tires. I need to replace the furniture/tires in my living room...the tread has worn bald on mine.
Ten bux for your prom date, but you have to include a manual and a curling iron ;) and a link to a website for saw dust.
:D
ps. do you accept paypal ?
Tires can also be used as above the ground pool.
Prom queen was preserved the night of the prom and from then
on.
Items are moving quickly, don't be shut out.
For consideration will hand deliver ( using tongs perhaps)
I can't make it till sunday evening.
Can you put the underwear to one side for me ?
If it helps, . . I could leave a small deposit on them.
Underwear, no sweat.
They were Jim's favorite.

This entire thing has rather shaken my world view.
You had a prom date?
You had a prom date?
In a manner of speaking.
At that time I was a prodigy drunk.
Started drinking for real at the tender age of 15 ( truthfully)
Hung out with people much older than myself.
Girl I took to the prom was, in fact, two years older than I.
( my first real status symbol)
Anyway, we got fried before the dance itself ( incidentally went to
a parochial-CAtholic- high school).
When we showed up at the dance itself, our group was already halfway
in the bag.
After a bit, in a crowded room, we started to dance to a slow number.
Room was warm, crowded and the drinks themselves got to me.
To sum up, during the dance, I got sick all over the girl I was with.
Not to be undone, after a long meaningful pause, she got sick on me.
The score was I get sick on her twice, she gets sick on me once.
Afterwards.
People in charge of dance threw us all out.
Over a hundred people today have very good memories of my and their
Prom night.
FAst ps, I became a problem drinker, plus experimentation with various
items.
Have been "clean" for over 25 years, except for Big Macs

I like the happy ending.
I can also attest that Big Macs are a habit to kick.
Big Macs vs cocaine.
1. One is cheaper than the other.
2. One is more available than the other ( depending on location)
3. One comes with flavoring
4. Both have dealers with same sense of personal hygiene.
5. Ronald has worked with both.
6. Rehab for one is 28 days.
7. Both produce a feeling of elation.
8. One stains clothing.
9. Both are available in drive thru's.
This is by no means encouraging children to try Big Macs.

Bill....for your own safety/sanity....it's best you don't......stay away from bicc's mystery meat/cheese/mouse dropping snicker's bar and you'll come to understand that the less you know the better. Something like that anyways.
ok i'm off to trim off some napkins. (Thanks for the tip Bicc!)

Are you sure that it's not one of the Bull Moose Bowling Ball Bags that Teddy gave away in the 1912 Bull Moose convention? They are frequently confused items.

I'll give you five bucks for the '57 Buick if the chrome and paint are in decent shape. It should look good on my bookshelf.
Hey Bic39,
The underpants I bought don't fit.
Can I have a refund ?
The underpants I bought don't fit.
Front or back?
Edit: great news!!!!
Got order from Britney Spears for everything!!!

Zbrush Central is in deep trouble!!!!
Might be having a yard sale in the near future.
Be advised.
Everything I got from your last sale was okay...except the beans....you said they were magic.

They were magic. Don't you remember the magic gas you emitted when you were asleep?

I just happen to have a pile of dead fly's out of the windowsill in my garage.
fly pile.jpg (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:zb_insimg%28%27133233%27,%27fly%20pile.jpg%27 ,1,0%29)
Perhaps a trade?
I also have a box of cat. My Wife had a cat cremated a couple of years ago and I ran into the box of ashes still sitting in the garage. Now this was no ordinary cat. Perhaps you could sell it at your upcoming sale and we could split the money?
You don't have any Voodoo Practitioners in your neighborhood do you? I think they use animal remains. Might get a lot for the complete ashes of a a cat?
beans, gas, dead flies, am sensing a theme.
( forgot, excellent fly, also a family pet?)

Yes Bic, we keep a small herd of fly's around the house. They take care of themselves and help clean up the odd pile of organic matter. Alas due to the hard financial times we will be forced to part with a few.
The cat is an afterthought as the ground is frozen for a few more weeks and it would be way to much trouble to bury the ashes. Perhaps I should mix them with some super-sculpy and create a tribute?
The fly's gotta go though. Heat bills to pay. They will be emerging in large numbers shortly and I think I can get rid of many of them and still have a viable herd for the future.
I leave the Cat herding to my Wife who is far more patient than I. No matter how hard I try I can't get one of the worthless little beasts to fetch the paper off the porch. Eat, sleep and soil the litter box, that is all they do. It's like having an In-Law over who just won't leave or get a job.
Hey take some time. Train those flies, you never know. http://www.iditarod.com/
Blaine91555

Looks like Mackey this year unless something happens.
On topic -
Yes, I suppose the fly's could be trained to do something useful, but is it worth the time. Just about the time you get one trained it fly's off to blow eggs into some pile of rotting meat and you are forgotten.
Possible career moves for fly
1. Hedge fund manager.
2. Investment department at AIG
3. Realtor.
4. Sell mortgage backed securities.
Starts off with career prerequisite. Buzzs around crap.

I would not feel right if I did not stop by and thank you Bic.
On your suggestion I submitted a resume to AIG on behalf of one of my more astute Fly's. Seeing no reason to think small, I went for an Executive Officers post and Arnold Fly, CFO was born. He of course quit before showing up for his first day on the job and we are now eagerly awaiting the 3 million dollar bonus promised in the initial contract. Even after the 90% tax rate that's still fair compensation for the trouble.
Arnold is not stopping there however and we will soon be contacting the White House to inquire about a possible Cabinet Post suitable for his talents. Perhaps something in the FDA? Our hopes are high. I'm sure an invitation to appear on the Tonight Show is just days if not hours away.
According to the Attorney General of Connecticut, the fly's bonus
was actually 3,500,000.
Supoena's will be issued to fly's cousin, his wife, his children.
Protestors will march on his lawn.
His name will be published and vilified by the Atorney General of New York.
He will be made to testify.
His crime.....
70 hours work weeks, including Holidays, weekends, anniversaries, kids birthday,Christmas, etc, etc.
Buying Tums in the economy size.
Answering for mistakes he had nothing to do with.
Testifing before a group of dishonest, lying, two faced sons of bitches
that would not know how to survive in the private sector
Having to keep his emotions in check while some of his employees are:
1. Lying to him.
2. Relatives of people he has to be nice to.
3. Doing a totally inept job costing thousands, but can't be fired because
they are in a position where they know how the hole was dug and only
they know the way around without a miners hat.
Wow!!! got carried away there for a minute, have been updating my resume,
don't know how I will survive with a salary under six million.;)
(Edit: don't know the people in question at AIG, but do the people at
Merrill. Amounts that you are reading about are out of hand. But this
is the way it has been on Wall Street for at least thirty years that I know
of. What hasn't been mentioned is that some of these people are friends
of people high up in industry. If they quit, get fired, leave, their friends
and millions of dollars go out the door with them. So you are in effect paying
someone a million but keeping 5 million in earnings)
about that garage sale........
