I'm done with these flame wars. I told Allanah I wanted to write a porn script to see what she thought of it, and I'm going to this week.

That's objective number one.

This is awesome. ChefMike and Ossumpie have finally found each other.

I wish you two the best, you are made for each other. Now if OneWorld came back, you could have a threesome.

Why do any of you losers even read my posts? Don't bother to respond, although you are a rather cheap form of amusement.

[tubgirl]

i think the question is: why do you continue to post these ridiculous threads...

[hondarobot]

Huh? "Tubgirl" is throwing in with the legion of losers?

Why does that not surprise anyone? None of you creeps have ever kissed a girl.

I thought JWBL said that some of the snakes were going to be beat out of the grass. . .

[tubgirl]

how bad do you honestly want to get into this with me? i have seen you challenge people on here before, honda.

pretty pathetic, if you ask anyone, not just me.

i would challenge you, but i'm not sure you could catch enough bus transfers to get here...

[hondarobot]

Well, I'll do one more tonight, because you seem even more sad then the norm.

Before I left (was kicked, hehe, I did act like an ass on many occasions) from Vicki's forums, I recall seeing you post everyday.

She never once responded to you, and I didn't either. No girl has ever once responded to you. No girl ever will.

Why do you total losers keep trying to talk to me?

Go away.

Why do you total losers keep trying to talk to me? why do you find it needful to post your psycho-drivel?

Go away.

SLAP! B1

Drowning in bourbon doesn't seem half bad, but in times like these I trust the whiskey. It's an Irish thing.

And what's up with that damn stamp you were going on about in the other thread? I'll check in tomarrow, sounds like a good story.

And what's up with that damn stamp you were going on about in the other thread?

Oh, that fucking stamp. :evil:

It's a special format (For non-philatelic folx: Think Volkswagen, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, this would be the Cadillac) of the federal hunting stamp issued by the Department of the Interior. The first one of this format was issued last year and there were only a thousand, all signed by the artist. Prices went from $20 at time of issue in June to over $3000 by mid-September. They settled back down to around $2000 with premiums being paid for better centering of the design and whether the artist signed it in gold, blue or black inked pen.

Fast forward to this year, and the DOI issues the format in a larger quantity (Supposedly to squelch speculation). Ten thousand are issued, all signed by this year's artist (Poor girl won't be able to hold a pen for a month). People stood on line for as much as four hours to get them (Though a significant quantity had already been sold via preorder). Stamp issued at noon @ $25, dealer buy prices were up to $80 by 12:30 and $150 by 2:00 when the stamp sold out. They started showing up on eBay that same day and are now up to $295. Premiums being offered/bid for ones that are also signed by the engraver (Who was present only for the issuance and limited the number he'd sign for each person).

I watched the major players work the room (The DC convention Center is three city blocks long) until a handful of dealers controlled many of the ones that were issued at the show. You could sit in the center of the hall and pick them out of the crowd by how fast they were walking/running, chattering on their cells to the other end of the hall, and whether or not they had a small stack of envelopes in their hand. It was not unlike watching the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Because I was sitting in traffic for two and a half hours (A guy in a stolen car had caused a multi-vehicle wreck on one of the major highways) I arrived too late to snag one of these little pretties. Now it becomes a matter of deciding if I want to pass on it or bite the bullet and write the check. Feh. Damned high-speed speculation takes the fun out of it. :(

I might just go back to concentrating on the topical collection I have that depicts breast-feeding. At least I can look at breasts while sorting the stamps. :lol:
