Edge squared and still-in-wrap fitness

Thought i'd round off the week with a couple of VHS video gem grab bags.



There's this one containing (in near-new, not-exposed-to-the elements-at-all condition) The Edge and (er) The Edge. Just in case you lend it to a (soon to be ex-)friend yet still desperately wanted to watch it RIGHT THEN AND THERE.

WHAT IT IS:

Old vids, there's a Home and Away one - which any females reading this secretly want to own.

DETAIL OF AUCTION:

They couldn't be bothered with that.

PRICE:

Start your bidding at $5, or Buy Now for $20.

COMMENT FROM SELLER:

None.




Wow.

WHAT IT IS:

From the description, you may be forgiven for thinking these are the world's most successful weight loss video cassettes (lose weight without opening!). The picture, however, perhaps alludes the real reason someone is wanting to get rid of these (Still, i'm sure a rubbish bin is much closer and a lot less hassle).

DETAIL OF AUCTION:

"Tape 1
Lets get moving. Low impact aerobics. Used only 1 time.

Tape 2
Lets tone up. Total body toning.
Brand new still in the wrapper. "

PRICE:

Starts at $5

COMMENT FROM SELLER:

Seriously, it's the Dave's Discount Disasters of the internet.

KEY WORDS : classic, vintage, restore, rare, commer, truck"

Daggy marl disasters

There's no excuse for these. Even if you have the daggiest of bottoms, finally tending to the situation with a timely Kleenex wipe has still got to be eminently preferable to wearing these abominations.

Smooch plate

A truly magnificent find from Big Keezy showing that the love of smooch clearly knows no boundaries. I bet they have quite the collection of sweatpants, well worn trainers and VHS tapes.

One retchin' collection

This is one classic pile of smooch. Right down to the infamous and often used line "plenty of wear left in them" which is nothing more than a shamefaced admittance that the clothing being peddled is worn out and the seller wants nothing more to do with them.

WHAT IT IS:

Garments. All for the want of an iron. Some knowledge of what colours clash would have been beneficial when laying them out too.

DETAIL OF AUCTION:

"All size 3

2 x Track pants. Warm fleece on inside, nice and warm for Winter.
1 pair Jeans with adjustable waist. Starting to wear on knees but no holes and still got plenty of wear left in them.

3 long sleeve cotton tops.

2 long sleeve cotton polo tops.

All in excellent condition and lovely styles. From a non-smoking and pet free home."

PRICE:

Bidding is already underway (started at $10) - should we be suspicious that the seller and one of the buyers have very similar names?

COMMENT FROM SELLER:

"Not as yet(Included a 'Buy Now' price - Ost). Have only just put it on so will so what happens with the auction first."

Well seeing as it has met the reserve, what's going to happen is someone's going to "win" the auction, and you'll "sell" them that load of tat. There's no great mystery to be revealed here.

Honestly, some people.

Gold fit for teeth and other must-haves

CONTRIBUTED BY: Miss DooM (Yes, you can send me stuff to put on this page)



WHAT IT IS:

Mixture of Jewellery, necklaces,watche's (sic)

Smartly photographed and charmingly described.

DETAIL OF AUCTION:

"As you can see there are a few crosses which are silver and what ever. One seems to have Jesus in silver and pawa shell in it. The watch's are casio which needs a strap and a battery, maybe a new face lift. But I must say I was given this watch which was over a hundred dollars when the folks bought it. It plays spce invaders one one it, like the calculators done back then. Around 25yrs old. The other watch is a olympic and getting old as well. Just needs a service or a battery whic I think it doesnt have one. I believe its not a cheapone when bought. Broch in top order and a badge of Triumph and a badge from a Nelson bike run."

PRICE OF AUCTION:

It Started at $25, but bidding has already begun.

COMMENT FROM SELLER:

Notice I have changed the photo and added a plain gold ring. Is stamped on back Ic6. Probably good to melt down for teeth. It does have a fine cut at bottom as had to come off when in hospital.

Idiot creates mug as self-image

No, it's just you.

Actually, that's not entirely true. Nonces who insist on ruining perfectly fine mugs with their "ideas" appear to frequent the internet, peddling their ....well their rubbish, to be blunt.





I'm not even putting links to their sites. That poo one is £7 -- 21 dollars. 21 DOLLARS. For THAT.

[sigh]

Hearty drawstring smoochers

These creasy, foul coloured pooch pants are perfect for looking ridiculous at the renaissance fair or cutting up some firewood in the backyard. Versatile.

Check the way they are just WORKING with that shoe option.

Available here with a bunch of other pirate nonsense.

Smooch photo embedding

Yes, I've noticed some of the larger photos don't re-size, creating stretched out smoochness. Either this is deliberate irony, a cruel trick, or just a further nail into the "user-friendliness" of computers as a whole.

Anyway, who cares. Embrace the smooch.

P.S. Thanks to Alex Dyer Esq. of Muckmouth for pointing out a spelling mistake in my blog's description.

No stains ...phew.

WHAT IS IT:

Used underwear. In several colours I didn't know even existed, such as baby poo-esque tan and a most forlorn shade of blue.

DETAIL OF AUCTION:

"BONDS mens underwear size M

7 pairs

They have been used a few times but they didn't suit me.

They are clean with no wear or stains."

Just heat your shoes in the microwave...

"Now pay attention. Your feet are two of the most useful, if sometimes unsightly, appendages you own. Should they freeze, your ability to stand, walk, run, and kick will be severely inhibited.

Solution: Cozy Feet. Simply place them in the microwave. And stand back. In just minutes you will have a foolproof way of ensuring defrosted feet, even in the most artic of winters.
Features

* Cozy Boots contain a special blend of flax seed and herbs that, once heated, stay warm for up to two hours
* With proper care they'll continue defrosting toes for years
* Can be reheated thousands of times
* Cozy Boots can also be frozen to treat sprains, bruising and swelling
* One size fits all
* Not suitable for use by Diabetics
* Colours may vary

Specification

* Dimensions: Height: 20.0cm Width: 10.0cm Depth: 20.0cm
* Weight: 1.0Kg"

OH. MY. GOD.
Who the hell thinks it's fine to put shoes into a microwave?
FX: Rifle shot
Right, that leaves the rest of us then.

So many wow factor moments with this new standard of laziness.
"With proper care" gets me - if anyone is lazy enough to NOT buy socks and buy these disasters, does anyone think they'll afford them "proper care" (which could only be to sterilise them fully with multiple sanitisers and anti-bacterial agents, before putting them into the dryer, before putting them anywhere remotely near the microwave)? of course not, they'll wear them all night, sweating away, then leave them under their bed to accrue thousands of germs, then put them straight into the microwave the next time they need them. And some poor soul is going to want to defrost some food in that afterward. Bleh.

Curiously, if you're this lazy and a diabetic, you can't wear them. Must be due to the "special blend of flax seed and herbs", the thought of the smell of which sent an icy chill down my spine.

£14.99 from here ...they're also available in Australia, so the next trip your Aunty Jeanette takes, well, be warned.


P.S. Just LOOK at them. Item of Consideration.

Some of these are probably cool, but how can you tell?

Bid now on this "Bulk Lot Personal Collection" of toy cars.

WHAT IT IS:

A pile of toy cars. Some of which look like they were exhumed out of an old sandpit while renovating the backyard, the others sound like a collection of remakes of classic 60's muscle cars, although we can only guess due to the series of less-than-crystal clear photos that do not exactly augment the auction.

"53 Cars, some rear ones, some as new.

Back Row

Mojorette Truck
Matchbox Horse Truck x2
Tanker x2

i think you get the idea of the style though, v. sketchy. you have to like her work to be interested, as Sketchy Pencil is not everybuddy's cuppa, lol! (:D

The UGH-ly!

New at Number 1 Shoe Warehouse is the "Ugh-ly Boot"

The boot that already was, is now more so, thanks to the additions of fluff and beads. Also comes in a fetching tan variant that evokes the look of having two collies' heads on the end of your feet.

I don't really know what else to say here. The boots look even sillier tarted up, in a way that implies that's ABSOLUTELY FINE for them to be worn out of the house, to the detriment of the unsuspecting public. This is bordering on unforgiveable.

The Number 1 website is very clear and easy to use though. Bless.
