I think I'll run to the local pr0n shop and buy some nipple clamps.

If I throw them on e-bay with some ambiguously worded description and a reference to Seka, maybe I can get a new car with what that casino will be willing to throw at it  ::)

So exactly how much do you want for these nipple clamps? Are they still attached to Seka? How much will delivery be?

Bones, you and I can work out a trade with your "beer getter/house cleaner" being sent in exchange for the nipple clamps. 

I'm sure I can attach them to a picutre of Seka and send the whole nine yards off to you. 

For you, shipping/postage will be free except for a small "handling" charge that is mysteriously equivalent to the shipping

I'll tell you when I put it up for auction, and I'll make the "buy it now" price a few cents for you only, that way you won't have to fight the casino for this unique item - they'll kill you in the bidding.  I'll make sure you get the only one that I send to you because you're such a nutty good guy.

Tell you what - I just need your merchandise for a little while, like until the day I die when I'm done with "it", I'll send you back your item good as new, none the worse for wear and by "none the worse", I mean "worse"

I think you'll find my terms piss poor for you, but excellent and agreeable to me and I look forward to your reply finalizing this most excellent deal for me.

Doesn't matter, it was bought by Golden Palace, just like all the other weird crap that gets on the news.

Of course it doesn't work. Nowhere in the description of the item did he mention the crystals needed for the time machine to work.

You could put it in a car.  What I want to know is how you get 1.21 gigawatts into it.

I loved this line, cuz the description sounds so serious:
"I even called my best friend who has worked on cars, even he could not get it to work."

...cuz we all know car mechanics are electronics and physics GENIUSES, now don't we.

The deal was 999R to Australia, then we talk.

Besides we are looking at moving house soon and I will require Mrs Bones to do some heavy lifting so I will need her for just a little longer.

Fridges and washing machines don't move themself you know....

If your wife can move a fridge by herself, we just lost interest.

Edit: Removed Mrs Bones pic. Now Drew will never know if she was worth the trade or not.

That is one interesting auction. 
If only us BYOAC er's could have purchased it, I'm sure we could have fixed it up, gone back in time to get a sports almanac so we could win bidding on horse races and such, then we could purchase mint copies of every arcade game ever made!!!!
(as long as we could still get the delorean up to 88mph while hauling a trailer full of arcade cabinets that is)

Nevermind...I saved it for you.  I must say, Mrs Bones might look better as a blond, like you say she is now, but I'm not sure that dying her hair will take the attention away from the rest of the "package"

I can't wait for the day when all you sick ---daisies--- who have that fat-lady pic saved on your hard drives end up divorced when your wives stumble across your My Pics folder.

I don't have any recent pics, but yeah, it's kind of long.  People tell me about 4x/day lately that I look just like Johnny Damon (and the occasional Jack Black).
Title: Re: Great Scott!!
Post by: shmokes on March 22, 2005, 11:46:43 am
Jack Black?????

I thought you were a power lifter, nutrition nut.... Jack Black is just fat.
Title: Re: Great Scott!!
Post by: ChadTower on March 22, 2005, 12:33:05 pm

Powerlifters generally aren't thin like bodybuilders.  It takes weight to move weight.  Plus, up until recently, I drank too much.  I probably have a 38" waist right now.  Fortunately, so long as one's chest and shoulders are larger than one's waist, most people don't call them fat.   ;D

Post by: DrewKaree on March 22, 2005, 12:38:19 pm
That's a heck of a swell sounding diet tip.....instead of "Trim that waist down" we'll switch it to "Puff out that chest"!   ;D 

Although following that advice will require me to develop a 65" chest to take the attention away from my stomach AND ass.

There's the old joke - I just dropped 20 pounds....from my belly to my --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules--!

*edit*
why did it auto censor "my --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules--", but it didn't auto censor the first occurrence of "ass"?

*edit edit*
AGAIN?!?!?!?!?

normally they aren't that bat but when we start talking about yours it just gets too scary to read. thus when you referance yours it gets censored.

Hey, it works, at least aesthetically.
