Well JeffS, lighthearted escapism with friends from both sides of the pond who are very unlikey to have met or meet each other and who have the same wacky, even black humour and want a bit of lighthearted interactive banter.

Plenty of place elsewhere to talk shop, me, I love it great imaginative exchanges which are a pleasure to participate in.

Hi everyone,
It's like 'Seinfeld'....a show about nothing

quote:

It's like 'Seinfeld'

More like Minefield, Miss M! Careful where ya step. LOL (Especially with the menagerie of animals we have represented here.)
I think you skeered the Zebra off wit yer vampeer apple. Bad Miss M where's me noodles?

TAZ STOP IT!! You keep making me laugh at the most inopportune times....(I'm trying to leave for work but NO I just had to look once more.

Minefield

quote:

"It's like 'Seinfeld'" More like Minefield, Miss M! Careful where ya step.

Well there you go if in doubt get it from the horses mouth or in our case the Tasmanian devil's mouth.

This thread should carry a health warning or should it be a "gninraw htlaeh"

yeah! -- what Taz said! -- Minefield! Watch where ya' step !!
... AND if that weren't enough...us quadrupeds have to be *doubly* careful ya' know?!

Just for the record tho... m's apple didn't skeer me off. Just noboby saw me hiding in the tall grass! Besides.. I got teeth too! (well ok..most of em anyway)
And Choo...here in TX we don't bother with health-warnings...shucks!-they'd have to be everywhere! Naww..we figured it's simpler to just wear tall boots everywhere we go! -- Kinda' like for this place! (hey! I guess that's sorta' like gittn' it from the horse's mouth..eh?)!

Hi hi hi .....

See Told ya Zebra would like the apple.

Where is everybody? No postings since last evening?? Taz you never shoulda said 'minefield', I think even Choo is afraid to come back now (still laughing over that one)

And where the heck is PETE??

Well Miss M I was going to post early this AM after work. But I got to busy stirring the kettle in the petition thread in eBay Talk.
I don't think JeffS realizes how vocal I am and sometimes I like to create controversy to bring more responses. Especially when I take something seriously. hope I have not offended him but I have gotten some good talk going there! Even if it is just lay down and let eBay walk on me talk!
Well JeffS if you see this post here certainly was not trying to offend you

quote:

I think even Choo is afraid to come back now

No way just been kinda busy domestically and moving listings over to another UK auction site with rather primitive tools

Rather spoilt here with Auctiva, then need to get some decent stuff out on to effbay before May, no real choice as the big buyers hang out there. They are all dead cert list once and sell items that I can reliably put out at 99p and will be fought over, a one off set of items.

Then continue looking around for more venues, happy days, I think this fee & feedbackl ruckus has even distorted the flow here too, and that will not do !!!

Boy, talk about a padded cell in the asylum, I can even here my own heartbeat in here it is sooooo quiet

Gee maybe Britney Spears will join us from her padded cell! Britney come see me after you have your thorazine!

Choo, I did't think you HAD a heartbeat ?

""I think this fee & feedbackl ruckus has even distorted the flow here too, and that will not do !!!""

I think you are absolutely right...this asylum really does need a lunacy button..And I have one I wanted to add, but they must be working on the site again...everything I try to do other than these boards shows a message about Thurs night maintenence

Click Here:

Wow, Ms M, you're quite the software whizz-kid, you have built a complete effbay technical support simulator, full functionality and response, good for you.

Good grief it even works as well as my ISP's support to, it is atruely marvellous creation, and your right it kick starts lunacy, jibber, jibber dribble . ...

If I haven't got a heartbeat who else is in there with me, ooh, scary


edit - was going to crrect the typo's so many, too late, smelling chugger, chuggered

Choo let me find out Britney is in there with you. Quick hide she may go psycho! OOps too late She did it again!

Arrrgh, just being in here with someone like is bad enough, but did what ?

You do of course know who Britney Spears is Choo?
One of her first songs that launched her to the ??? TOP ??? was "Oops I Did it Again"
Now of course yesterday for the second time in a few weeks she has been committed. Took a caravan of police escorts etc... to take her to the hospital.
Said in the paper that the convoy was the length of a football field!
HMMM??? How many heartbeats do you hear Choo?
Perhaps it is time for YOUR shot of Thorazine.
Miss M the patients are awaiting your ever so talented hands!

Got my needles all ready Taz, and I'm REALLY looking forward to this..

Gotta catch me first, can't puncture an ethereal being ... oooooh .....

Will you be needing the Doctor/Bouncers assistance?

quote:

You do of course know who Britney Spears is Choo?

Some pop dolly which everyone is supposed to go daft over, give me a break, no not the arm !

Even a Taz cannot grasp hold of a bunch of ethereal electrons so

OK Taz, now he's just being a smart a$$$...We're coming for you Choo........

Come on then, wipe your feet on the way in ...

Taz Super Spin powers over come ALL alectrons. Me discombobulate you,elctrons and all.
Miss M he gave us a clue to his name!
Ethereal equals Choo is Ethel from now on!

Hi I'm a newbie, I'm pretty savvy but have NO clue what this is!

Hey jrose,
Don't worry, we don't either

Taz NOT have feet in spin mode!

quote:

Me discombobulate you,elctrons and all.

Good grief the lunatics are running the asylum, ok I'll humour you Taz dearie, I'll just get the pinny and rolling pin back from Ms M a few pages ago and you are in for a good rollering

JROSE

Quick a newbie energise stun gun before they escape

Hi Jrose, Welcome to the Auctiva Asylum where the nuts run the Horsepital.
This is a thread about nothing and just a relaxation area for some of us.
You are welcome to join the fun if ya like.
Be warned bring a sense of humour!

Stun gun my buns. We are Borg ASSIMILATE

I don't care if you disintegrate, you will answer to the Bugs (Malone) Bunny for your actions

Miss M I sent you a message.

quote:

Miss M I sent you a message.

Hello, typing behind my back that will never do

I'll bring the needles, the Rottweiler, and the mayonise.

Serious message Choo
Like I would ever go behind your back!
BOOOOOOOO!

Mayonaise Miss M? Are we going to subdue him or fillet him?

Guess we could do both...we're comin up with a strategy Choo........(Can't tell ya what the mayonise is for)

GEEZ twice I spelled M a y o n a i s e wrong! Where's spllng chukkr when I need it

Work calls. Sorry Choo the plan is being hatched though!

I'll keep working on it while you're gone Taz..

Right then I'm a waiting for you, so you to are going to perform.

Can you actually do what it sounds like on a public forum even between 2 consenting lunatics a rottweiler and a jar of mayo

Oh dear, I'll just have to sleep on it then, it's gone 1am here, sorry Ms M you going to have to go solo til morning now, byeee

Bye Choo..

And get your mind out of the gutter will ya

quote:

get your mind out of the gutter will ya

Well come on then tell me what the plans is so I can counter it

Well here I am again, whistling to myself in my padded cell, cosy, comfy, ahhhh, not a Taz or Ms M or needle to be seen.

Is this what they meant by GAR, where's the room service button ?

Service is appalling around here, I must be mad to put up with this . . .

We are still prepping things Choo! Should be time for your thorazine. I've got it right here.Miss M is indisposed so I brought my Evil Nurse Wanda to administer the injection.
Now this won't hurt one bit, just roll over while she slides this 20 gauge 1.5 inch needle in.
Edit: Forgot you guys are metric there! 3.81 CM long needle

I'm not metric I was born UK imperial, too right it won't hurt, I'm outta here, gotta ghost train to catch.

From what I hear Evil Nurse Wanda does not care who she stabs with her needles so if you are the only one left here you had better make yourself scarce too

Whoooooooooshhhh . . . . .

hmmm... pretty quiet around here.
missy-M ? I can't get this dang song outta' my head!

Hi Zebra, certainly is, Pete hasn't returned from Germany, Ninth & Shadeux MIA ??

Ms M indisposed, whatever that means, Taz spun in then out again, oh well sure they will be back with lunacidal zeal real soon

Hey there Choo! yer back !

quote:

...sure they will be back with lunacidal zeal

...I'm sure you're right about that! Oh dear!

Ok..I need some help here! Somebody tell me how the 'clock' works around here! By that I mean.. my last post shows as 11:11 pm. Now I know that wasn't my local time! Nor could it have been either EST of PST here in the U.S.! Furthermore, your last post shows as 01:48 AM...(it being almost 12hrs from your previous post) this doesn't seem right either! Now maybe it was actually the wee-hours in the morning when you posted (local time for you in UK) ...but as I remember, it doesn't seem like 12 hours since I saw it show up on the boards. ???

Can somebody gimme' a clue here?

G'morning!
Wow, lots of overtime for me this weekend...I'll be glad when today is over, I'm tired,(yawn)

Taz, thank you for recruiting my sidekick Evil Nurse Wanda when I was unable to help you with Choo (note: she does NOT replace my usual sidekick - Miss S) ...see Choo, and you thought I was up to no good...

Zebra, what song?
And I wonder why your time stamps are showing up like that?? They should show as PST, it's a little after 10am here now so mine shows as 8 something..Choo is about 6 hours ahead of me, I think its probably 4pm there.

Well gotta go (groaaan)
But I'll be back tonite .. I need my lunacy button....

quote:

Hey there Choo! yer back !

Didn't know I'd been anywhere ...

well the time here is about 5pm so assuming a few minutes delay to arrive you can see the time difference. I only see the time of actual posting from the copies that arrive via the e-mail notification, when viewing these boards the time appears as my selected timezone of GMT.

quote:

see Choo, and you thought I was up to no good...

And why would I think that

Fancy leaving me in the hands of, sorry claws of Taz's mutant pretzel nurse.

quote:

Didn't know I'd been anywhere ... Confused

well Choo...sorry if I missed something, but last I heard - you were outta' here on a GHOST TRAIN!
For all I knew, it coulda' been a " ...Midnight Train to Georgia"!? -- I wouldn't be surprised! As I said...my CLOCK is all messed up!

Anyway... I'm beginning to realize the board's time is set to PST here in the States! -- So I guess I can do a little arithmetic to figure out when I might get away with posting silly stuff while nobody's looking (and probably asleep). Afterall... I'm not inclined to show my butt around here while EVIL NURSE WANDA is anywhere to be seen!! -- I HATE NEEDLES!!

... on the other hand...I bet TAZ doesn't actually sleep AT ALL! -- Yep!..that could explain a few things!

Hi Zebra, well a dozen or so pages ago in the mists of epic thread time there was to be a train 'joust' cum 'duel' between JeffS and I, unfortunately Shadeaux AKA spider took me up on a VIP ticket, front seat on the cow catcher !

Eventually rescued by ninth AKA as her fly at the last moment so rather than be stuck like a pig with one of Ms M's needles (many more pages ago she was playing darts with them) or Taz's mutant pretzel nurse I decided I stood more chance of surviving by riding my ghost train to hell.

Quite simple really

quote:

Quite simple really Big Grin

ahh...I see! Thanks for explaining everything! ((clear as mud! ))

Q?: when ya'll got that VIP ticket..were drinks INCLUDED?? -- Looks to me like everyone might have had a really good time....but also maybe hit the booze-bucket just a tiny-bit too hard!

OK, where is everyone, not a peep, spin, silly comment for hours now, just Zebra and I holding the fort well that's it for me tonight, I'd better see some stupid comments, whackings and pretzel crumbs in my inbox tomorrow, and Pete where are you ?

OK Choo, you asked for it...this is how I feel after 26 hours of work this Sat & Sun...You think Evil Wanda is scary?? HA!!



I actually turn into one...I'm waiting for Taz, got my needles, and we're coming to GET you

We'll get PETE too, he has to show up sooner or later....

Hi Z - you're safe, you're an innocent bystander so don't worry (yet)

Oh, Choo if you feel sanity slipping over you, don't forget about this

I'm ready for yere !

I am so angry over recent events particularly at the moment especially on the thread "suggestions->Auto Feedback is obsolete" I will take you all on including Wanda whether she looks like the unfortunate creature above or not Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You had better get out the tranquiliser gun, Hulk your elder brother has arrived, grrrrrrrrr

OK calm down Choo..c'mere I have a nice little tranquilizer waiting for you Although it comes with a big needle, you'll find it's worth it.

Either that, or maybe I'll run away Don't really want to bump into the HULK, elder OR younger

I all seriousness tho, I understand ... There's NEVER before been a public outcry such as this one..

I hate needles, tranq gun from a distance preffered for your own safety, ggrrroooowwwlll, snarl ...

Just popping in to say hello.Super busy this week,doing a bit of moving Read in to that what you may! LOL
Start my new job next week and trying to get everything caught up in between.
Busy weekend with my GF I have been reading the thread but have not found the time to post.
Glad to see evil Wanda has kept the entertainment factor alive in my absence.

Only a couple of posts here today?? C'mon you guys, snap out of it

Sure, it's the middle of the night here but that's no excuse...

Grooooowwwwwwlllll .. .. . ZZZZZzzzzzzzz

The Loonytics have escaped who is watching the Asylum?
Well I guess everybody is entitled to some R&R.
But really only 6 posts since yesterday AM???

Seems we have another ballbuster in the paddock! https://community.auctiva.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6286099...221020072#1221020072
Way to go Zeb I was starting to get a bit lonely out there with my battle-ax.

awww shucks Taz! ... ya can't let the little snakes like that jerk yer reins!
but i'll be happy to fly as your wingman anytime! Just lead the way Pappy!

anyway... did I mention it was me mum's birthday today? - 76!
Yep!..and still kickn' like she was the Energizer Bunny! Yeah I know...noboby quite appreciates a mother like her own kids. All the same, I was thrilled to snag a 2'x2.5' collector's lithograph of Mick Jagger & Keith Richards out on the bay for her!

hey!..?? where's Shadeaux been hiding out lately? And what about Lusty-eyes?...man!..those haunting eyes! heck..I thought maybe she might be Eve's sister...what with that apple she was offering! Maybe we oughta' have missy-M and Shadeaux lure that silly snake over here so as to give him a real proper whack'n ! And Choo?..we could even lay him out on the tracks for ya' !

- Now listen to me would ya'....I'm gittn' a little silly huh? ..must be the air in here!
Well I guess I'll go on and bed-down for the night. Pleasant dreams all! Hasta luego mi amigos!

quote:

Zeb I never let the little snakes jerk my chain! I do jerk a few chains myself occasionally when I feel someone is out of line. I really try to contain myself but some posts are just so offensive or asinine I cannot control myself!
I love the posts in particular that say " I have searched the forums and cannot find a answer too ... " When the answer is only 3 or 4 tabs down and right on top of the boards ie: instead of being in Getting Started it is in Store Window and Store.
Miss S is on some sort of break?? And Miss M I guess is working a lot right now. Pete seems to be AWOL and I am pretty sure Choo is just waiting to jump in.
Mum likes the Stones! My mum is only 64 and even the Beatles are a stretch for her! I saw the Stones in concert back in 90 I believe it was. Right after I saw the Who's 25 year tour in 89

Choo is just waiting to jump in

There's been very little to jump into these days, been looking rather threadbare around here lately

And Choo?..we could even lay him out on the tracks for ya' !

Errm, excuse me, whose the 'we' and what tracks do you have in mind, sounds like a Zebra has been sniffing too much dodgey grass in their nosebag

yeah..long story + hard to explain! Kinda' crazy though! Believe it or not..I was giving her a little ebay tour the other night..and wouldn't ya know it!..she caught an instant mad-dog case of auction-bidding hysteria! Sit'n right there beside me too! Take it from me!...It were pretty scary Pal ! [as in PAY~Pal !! ] Ya'll would {*Love*} to see a lot more 'mothers' let loose out in ebay like mine! You'd think you were in Paradise! ~ oh well... The Jagg'd Stones kinda played a little rough-on-the-soul fer me, and a bit of a back-seat rank in my favor to the WHO ~but that's just me. As an aside, WHO can be found in the favor of JeffS !!/?? But in all fairness and respect to Mick, and especially to missy-M, ...I hereby confess and admit to my fondness for "the girl with faraway eyes!)

For the record...I've noticed your ability to jerk a chain.. i'm impressed. Steering clear of any tug-o-war with you..makes bitingly-perfect sense to me! But honestly now,..about those eye-torquing graphics you come up with!? Like the giant qwerty-bar, an ancient epicurean delight? Where have You been fish'n neighbor? Out in the stockyard tank? Around these parts..the Bubbas might see that as a compliment! ~ but then again.. if ya' showed 'em Missy's after-work snapshot...they'd bug ya' to no end for her phone number! So in deference to Persius (& JeffS)..your secret is safe with me! ~ cuz I'm telling anyone who asks..that my multi-tongue buddy Taz up in PA ..always loves the Daily Special! but do NOT Spit on His Food!

maybe some body could please open a window? !!

Its gettin HOT in Here! Alright Miss M where DA he- doble tootpicks R Ye?
Da brown pants R gone and I'm wearin da red-shirt.
Mind ye nae becarse I b skeered or nuttin but Zeb did imply that de brown pantaloons wood be matchin the Zebra plush carpet that e b layin down.
Now I b wearin da red shirt dat Miss S has bequeathed me but da parrot ship I be lookin at has a bunch of pursies sailin pon er.
OMG Please save me dum arse I've finally gone oe'r-board
Hep me, Hep me Cecil cld ya be directin me ter Ms Brtneys womb, and if'n knot art least to Kevins tell-all 10 Million dollar tale?

Taz and Zebra - the new double act of the epic thread - setting new standards in thread-babble

WAKEY, WAKEY where are you all ?

Just popping in for a quick HI

Trying to crawl out from under the worst flu I've ever had..I'll try to be back later.

Where IS everyone??

Trying to crawl out from under the worst flu I've ever had

Eeeek, where's the bug spray, only this thread could suffer from a human virus,

Sorry to hear that Ms M, I wondered where everyone had gone, if I hadn't posted this afternoon we would have had 24 hours go by with a murmer, even this thread was appearing run down.

Me awake, ok Zebra I'd better check on that, errm, pinched myself but was I dreaming that it hurt

Trust Taz to pick something more adveturous like African fever

Well we can't have this...you guys have to keep it going, I'm sure you can do without lil ol' me for awhile...but I DO miss picking on Choo
And has anyone heard from Pete?? He's really been gone a long time.

quote:

but I DO miss picking on Choo

Aaah, isn't that sweet

All you have to do is post on here and 8 minutes later (typically) I receive an e-mail that you have rattled my cage, so if you have got the energy and I am awake here in the UK I'll happily snarl back

Yeah, but your bark is worse than your bite

(Although I don't know if you could say the same for me, what with my 'taste' in apples)

Gee I feel a little better already

Yeah, but your bark is worse than your bite

Well I put some heavy byte with my language into the customer-service message I just sent to ebay (re: no-free-lunch bs) -->
Profanity?? Wouldn't be surprised if they kicked me outta the bay by tomorrow! I'll have to get another keyboard though, cuz this one just melted down! But now I'm feeling embarrassed about my own bs comment to Taz about lettn' someone jerk your chain!

I sure wish ya'll would get back to the burlesquey back&forth funny stuff (like around mid-thread).. I'll promise to hide away and not butt-in! Just need something to help me chill-out!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz time ere !

Why thank you Choo... i appreciate your soothing reassurance. Being the IronHorse that you are, I'm bolstered by the recognition of a kindred spirit.
Please don't devolve to cockney blarney however... it doesn't seem to suit your loco-motivations quite as well as for Taz*.
[*Taz deserves more leeway because he's prone to eating troglodytes and trilobites for breakfast. ]
Goodnight, and pleasant dreams.

"""despite the fact I can hardly understand wot u an' taz r on abou arf' 't time."""

Ahh yes...thank you Choo, I thought it was just me

Taz does 'pirate' (and Miss S does a pretty good imitation herself)

Choo does cockney (and sometimes somethin else I don't recognise) He might be snarling and growling in his sleep zzzzzzzzzz

Nae Chillun daent ye be worryin boot me nae,I be daptin to me sroundins and blendin in wit da scenry.

Not sure whether that is a compliment or insult to Taz or I I think Zebra is a bit of a spin doctor on the not so quiet.

Ah Choo you've gone off the deep end you have! Trying to make sense of our non-sensical thread. Hmm and how is that rubber padded cell and are the straps on the jacket holding up well?

quote:

Not too well in a fit of pique the other day my alta-ego the hulks older brother remerged and the straps flew off and took the door of the cell down, so I am on the loose again, by jove !

OH My the whole of England is now in a sorry state! Quick Choo whilst you are on the loose catch a flight to the States we always have room for one more Loonytic!
Still no Pete?
Hope Miss M is feeling a bit better.
Surprised Miss M! No flu shot this year?

quote:

we always have room for one more Loonytic!

I can't believe that

Ms M was so busy trying to spear me with one of her javelin sized needles she forgot to give herself a jab, and Pete well he probably set the Tardis controls wrong and 'returned' to the UK in a different century.

Spider & fly well they must have eloped after escaping the train joust

Well I have to go to work for a few hours and keep the rowdies under control at Magoo's. Have a good un and keep a low profile , the Bobbies may be lookin for ya! Either that or Evil Wanda may be chasin ya down!

Glad to see Mr.Tazman and da Choo Dude isa holdin' down da fort so vera good. An good ta see da Zeb is a helpin keep da pot a stirred wit his bits o' whimsy. Well now, I guess I better go rest up som more from dat very strenuous piece a rescue I done with that sooooo pretty spyder. Us flyboys can get real tired when put to da test o' luv.

Hooray ninth's back and good night from UK !
