Place your bids!!

[Puff]

All members entering this comp should have to declare their Ebay name - this applies to Martin in particular

[Lillian]

Why? Ebay doesn't show the bidders names anymore.

[Puff]

What dat stuff in the left hand column under "Bidder"
No tellin what lengths/depths some will go to to win a tub of Yak fat Lil
Hand on me heart -so long as google's anatomy thingy is right - 'Spar Strangled Blather' on the stereo and me guess is $911 with Lin Baden to ride the winner in race 13 at Salt Flats this arvo.

[Lillian]

If you click on the bidders all you see is the first and last letter/number of the bidders name and **** in between. Ebay doesn't show the bidders names or link them so you can send an email.

[Puff]

OK so M****N could be Martin, Martyn, Mervin, Marilyn or Megatron. Scary stuff. Pretty hard to police these Yak Fat contests then huh. All sorts of options for fixing results.

[Lillian]

Yup

[Kim]

Its a USA only auction..the seller has not enabled international bidding..

[Lillian]

Obviously there are ways around that.

[Kim]

Yes indeed but it makes any debate about ebay user names a moot point.

Fresh home from a hitch in the briney blue...too stuffed to even think about logging in to ebay.

I don't need the tub of Yak Lard - I've had the whole Yak!!!

Oh yeah, $1111

[DarwinStrings]

That is a rather calm looking bull you have got there Craig, obviously he has not seen Kim sneaking up on him from behind If he did I reckon your would be a shoe in for the Melbourne Cup.

Jim

[Nick]

You look more like the Marlboro Man Craig! That rugged outdoorsy look, complete with coffin nail hanging at a jaunty angle from the mouth.

And Jim, I think Kim's already done his party trick on this one & "de-nutted" it sometime before, hence the placid nature of the thing!

[Kim]

We have a winner folks..

The sell price for the EA Berg Chisels was a miserly $893.77 making Puff with a bid of $911.00 just $17.23 off the mark.

Congrats Puff, the fats in the mail.... (Although being an animal derived product there may be some problems with NZ customs and quarantine services that are beyond our control, especially if they pull off the lid and get a whiff)

This was a close one for sure folks and I must mention that Lillian was only $18.77 of the mark making her guess just $1.54 further away than Puff's winning effort. With such a close call it has been decided to include a consolation prize for the runner up so I am pleased to announce that Lil will be sent the yak's scrotum. Onya Lillian! (Don't worry luvvie, its already been dried and ground so you can use it in a salt shaker as a condiment, snort it, or add water and use it for HHG)

Thanks for joining in the fun everyone.

Cheers

Kim

Bum! I want my money back! Still good to see the Yak Fat make it across this side of the Tasman .

Ah damn, I wanted to make a sporran out of it. Oh well. I'll find a use for it. Thanks. I'll look for it in the post.

It's not being sent to a "Private Bag" is it Lillian? *insert groan here*

[DarwinStrings]

Ha! I will second that "groan" Nick. Nice work Puff although I doubt you will ever see that prize as soon as customs realise what it is it will be on its way back to their place and chalked up as another item lost in the postal system. Still, you never know, there is always hope. Congrats on the guesses though dude and dudette.

Jim

[Kim]

It should get there OK Jim, I sent it to:

Puff
C/O New Zealand
Earth.

Lillian,

I have some fella in the USA called Brock forwarding your scrotum to you. (now that's a line you don't see used every day) He sent an email saying he would be right on to it so you should see it any day now...(geez I'm just as bad )

Cheers all

Kim

[Puff]

Thanks to Kim and all for the fun but especially congrats to Kim for his good fortune in the pawn shop. Bet the punter who hocked their steel, and the broker, would be spewing Yak Fat if they knew what they were worth. Due diligence indeed

[Lillian]

Brock has an empty scrotum handy? Wow, wonder if Mrs. Brock knows what he keeps in his shop.

Nick, *GROAN*

edit

I'm assuming it's not his. I don't know him that well. The question is do I want to know who's it was though?

Hey Kim as Rove McManus would say "WHAT THE??" Judging by the empty wide mouth bottle beside him, I'd say this is a classic example of why you shouldn't drink lots of your own urine!
Love how he goes into spasms & speeds up accordingly then just drops back into the original tempo

[seeaxe]

The variety in the humanity never ceases to amaze me......

I really liked the speed changes and I thought that his timing was spot on, when he came back to the original groove, he seemed on it to me, The "gee-tar" as he would no doubt call it, sounds perfectly matched to his idiosychratic playing styles. Overall, he is quite a package

However, I have a question.

If you a going to wear a bandanna around your grey flowing locks (some jealousy here, I can claim no flowing locks, grey or otherwise).............why wear a hat as well??

I don't get it.

Can any of our US of American friends please explain???????????
