POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Well Auctiva Asylum Lunatics it is 3 am here and time to close my weary eyes and dream of spiders!! Among my many business endeavors I use to own a pet shop and sold tarantulas. Quite vicious creatures actually. Met my previous GF when she came in to buy a tarantula and it bit me as I was boxing it for her!
Edit: OMG I just may have to go find her! I am a free man again and just remembered I ran into her sister about 2 months ago and she said she was still talking about me!

TY all for jogging my feeble brain!

What a way to meet someone Taz. OUCH!
I've only seen the non-aggressive tarantulas. They creep me out, they're so big. *shiver*

G'night. Sweet dreams Taz. Have a very happy Christmas if I don't get to see ya here before. Well, even if so, have a merry Christmas.

Usually only vicious when feeding Miss S. But they are tempermental! Only got bitten the one time in all my years of handling them. Snakes are another story, getting bitten by a 13 foot Burmese python was my worst! but more about that later!
G-Night all and Merry Christmas!

Guess i'm gonna sign off too...2AM by me and miss S.

Merry Christmas to everyone, tho I'm sure we'll be able to get one or two posts in

Ok there you go again Miss M posting at the same time as me!

Good night from Reno Taz, same to you on the Merry Christmas.

Miss M - No swats! (But I did say YES to that whack, oh oh.)

Miss S - I just looked it up, you DO have eight eyes! Now I know I'm going to have sweet dreams tonight. 8000 legs, 8000 eyes, OMG what else? Where's that web? Off to dreamland, I'll let you know how it turns out. (I may not want to wake up )

ahh, Ninth, you still here? I see I could have anywhere from 2 to 8 eyes. I want to be a spider that has eyes in the back of my head.

NOW, you see 8000 eyes
I still won't kill you unless you come after me with the flyswatter.

adding GMTA Alrighty then.

Don't worry, I won't come after you with a flyswatter or a spiderswatter. (I'll just come after you. )

adding 'don't they though'

Hey everyone! Sorry I seem to have missed a lot of fun, but little lad was not very well at all, and I couldn't leave OH to look after him on her own, as she is under the weather herself. So, I have read all the posts I missed (and this thread now has over 3000 views!), but there's too many for me to answer all of them, so here is a quick precis:

Steve, nice looking bar. Sorry about the fiancee thing, but you seem to be handling it well, and it looks like it is for the best. I'm curious, at what point does it cease to be our mums who vet our girlfriends, and start to be our daughters??!!

Susanne, so, you're a biker chick are you? mmmm....

And as for Shirley and Sid, well...... Get a room!!!

And FWIW, I don't think Auctiva will bounce this thread, 'cos I reckon they are having as much fun reading it as we are posting it (but they can't join in the posting, of course )

LOL, catch you all later when you get up

Hi there Pete,
Glad to see you could make it back...and glad YOU didn't get sick. Hope family is feeling a little better

Um...you conviently left out any comments on your S names Wonder why that is??

P.S. We're still waiting for our Christmas pesents from you..

OK I know...you got us the same thing you got us LAST year

Oh Susanne, you guessed

OH seems a lot better, and little lad's fever is definitely going down now, and he's eaten a little today, so looking good now, thanks

Ummm, no, I didn't comment on the names did I?

I think Sexy Saint Pete is probably the best of the lot!

Yeah, Sexy St. Pete isn't to shabby...

Did you see some of the other ones I thought of

That's what happens when we all start posting late at night..we all start getting a little bizarre And here I thought it was just me!

Gonna have to turn the hose on Shirley & Sid...

Yes I did see them Susanne, you have a great sense of humour - I like that in a woman, and those sexy eyes, and leathers - oh god

And I think it will need to be a fire hose, the way those two are carrying on!

OK, my boy has now asked me to go and sit with him for a cuddle, so guess what? I have to go! Parents have just arrived, for the traditional Christmas Eve Chinese takeaway, so I doubt I'll be back on tonight. Take care Susanne, have a lovely Christmas (and the same to everyone else of course!), and we'll chat soon.

TTFN,

Sexy St Pete

Thanks Pete and same to you and everyone else

Merry Christmas

I'm curious, at what point does it cease to be our mums who vet our girlfriends, and start to be our daughters??!!

Well Pete I am sure mom is going to try her input here also, but I must say I do believe my daughters choices could be interesting!
She called a bit ago and said she has 2 friends without dates for New Years Eve and would I want to go out with one. Me being the gallant guy I am, I said only one?!! Daughter laughed and said Dad you are the best.
OMG just realized at the YOUNG age of 45 I am turning into a DIRTY old man. I do not think I could handle a pair of twenty somethings now anyway. Decisions decisions!

Glad the family is feeling better Pete and a Merry Christmas to you and everyone else!

Thought I'd pop in for a sec while getting ready for the huge family Christmas party tonite....

Steve, I always figured you for a 'dirty' old man (KIDDING!!!) I'm going to guess we're all sorta kinda maybe around the same age group.....'cept for Sweet Pete, 8 year old son?? Pete might be a young 'un himself. As for the Ninth, he's still kind of mysterious. (And he LOVES it that way)

Anyhow, go for it and have fun, you deserve it!

Hope everyone has fun tonite/tomorrow

Alright a few Christmas cards for Y,all and a couple of links. One for a badA** Harley commercial with a scary Santa! And one for a slightly racy Harley Christmas Video.
Enjoy All!




Harley Santa


Harley Christmas song

Awww thanks Steve!
Will have to look at them later tho. Have a good night tonite

edit--LOVE the Fatboy joke!!!!!!

omg Ninth, have we made spectacles of ourselves? You did say 'don't read this'.
Hope ya'll don't expect me to leave that sweet li'l fly alone. I couldn't. Oh no. I couldn't.

Pete, glad your OH and son are getting better.
oops, it posted. Miss M, have a fun night!
Taz, yeh, you oughta just go for it. Why not? lol Thanks for the jokes and pics.

I'm really only here for a minute, till later, to wish all of you dear sweet folks a very Merry Christmas! xo

You're right Miss Shirl, I did say 'don't read this'. Doesn't that mean we've done our part to avoid gossip and speculation? Really, all we did is provide a little holiday entertainment and mild titillation, and they want to take a fire hose to us! No appreciation for all our efforts.

And Pete says: "I like that in a woman, and those sexy eyes, and leathers - oh god", then signs his post "Sexy St Pete", and then tells US to get a room. Ookay. (not a bad idea though) Oops there I go again. Don't read that. Glad the fam's ok Pete. (Miss M, I don't blame Pete one bit. There's just something about a woman in leather, right Pete?)

Taz, love all the great live action thingamijigs you put up. They really are in the spirit of things here. Just so we don't get too wholesome though, I've decided to contribute a little dark humor to our public shenanigans here on Auctiva's generously provided forum. I'm referring to the picture of course, MY humor isn't dark. well...

So to all the Auctiva staff and members who have managed stop in and read some of our silly ramblings, and those who had better things to do (don't blame you), Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. (Miss S, you just know I can't stop buzzing around. ) Yeah I know, 'get a room' - bye all.

OK Short break between festivities and could not resist catching up.
Watch out Ninth Miss S is on the move!


Oops I see I was too late, I guess a web is better than a room or should I say the WWW?

A room with a web or a web with a room...
Don't read this. I found it Ninth. Near here.
And we don't need no stinkin' hose.




For you, sweet pretty fly, I'll prepare a special web for when you next buzz by.


Oops! Sorry 'bout the giant pics. Hope this works. lol Well shoot! Tryin' again.

Santa's on his way!

http://www.noradsanta.org/en/home.htm

Hi folks, just popping in as I am up and getting the turkey prepared. Many thanks for your best wishes for my family - unfortunately they both seem to have dropped back a bit, both running high temperatures , Stevie's is at 103. So, it looks like they both have 'flu for Christmas I seem to have escaped it, because I had to have a 'flu jab a few weeks back.

It's lucky Sal's parents are coming over today, or I'd end up eating a whole turkey, and it's a big one!

Susanne, sorry hun, you are way off on my age! Yes, Stevie is only 8, but I have another son from a former relationship, who is 29!

So, your mission folks, should you choose to accept it, is guess Sexy St Pete's age

By the way Steve, go fill yer boots mate!

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Hi Pete,
Merry Cristmas! (I might be drunk so pls excuse any misspellings, I probably wont notice them
Nephew turned 21 at midnite tonite so we of course had to take him out for drinks. (Or as Taz would say, scoops and shants) Had a great time! I just hope I'm not sorry in the morning

OK your age...between 50 & 60? Pretty broad guess huh!! Covering all the bases..I think we're all relatively close in age but who the heck knows about Sid...he's probably 19 BTW Sid the Ninth, GREAT plane pic! Love your pics too Miss S! (Is that you & ninth I see hiding in the bushes??

Pete, you can send some of that turkey over my way, you know I can't cook...Yum..
Really sorry everyone is sick tho, what a lousey time for that to happen! You're pretty brave to get the flu shot. I'm a 'needle expert' but I'm scared of shots!

Hope everyone has as good a time tonite as I did.

OOps, sorry I should have said:
Hi Sexy Pete

(wow I dont think I misspelled anything)

Whoa, you're right Miss S, that looks like a great spot, but is that poison oak I see? (I wouldn't want to get any on my arse, right Sexy Pete?)

Good to see y'all out here having fun! The family thing went well and I just got home.
Yeah Pete I remembered you posted about the age thing and being a bit older. Just did not want to out you!
My "edumacated" guess is 53 but I am probably wrong again!
As fer Sid I need to place you in the 45 to 48 age range?
Malum mens reputo pariter

Hi guys, glad to see ya while I can still keep my eyes open..

Uh-oh Taz is speaking in Greek again, oopps Latin...no idea of Sid's age ?? he never gives us any hints about anything unless we PRY it out of him

And as for Pete...'scuse me, Sexy Pete..think Taz has the right idea. ??

OK sub-literal translation Miss M =GMTA
Evil minds think alike, is the literal translation

We sure do Taz...ESP & all that!!
But I think your mind is eviler than mine (is that even a word??)

The literal translation I found was: Evil mind to reckon likewise. They sure did talk funny in the old days. Kinda like yoose guys.

The Night Santa Went Crazy
by weird al yankovic


Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped

Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain

yoose guys? y'all sure do talk funny here

Hi.
Pete, sorry to hear that! I've got a turkey breast to cook or I'd offer to take some off your hands too. I know Miss M will enjoy it after that hangover she's gonna have. OUCH! I don't like needles either. No flu shots for me, thank you!
My guess is 49?

Miss M, pretty broad guess... I think Ninth is a wee bit older than 19, but won't guess unless invited. lol Thanks on the pics. Love that place! I hope your head feels good in the morning to not damper all that fun.

Ninth, I don't think it's poison oak. I walked up that path before the pic. Maybe my jeans protected me and it really is. lol I dunno. We'll avoid it though.

Taz, you're just a man of many talents! Aren't you. I have no idea what you just said. lol

A man of many talents, Master of none, but I sure do like having fun!

LOL That's good! I love the Weird Al eBay song. Get it stuck in my head and can't get it out.

and dang it sure seems I type slow. lol

Shirley here is one for you to think about!
"EGO operor quis parum vox vocis in meus caput capitis dico mihi efficio."

You may type slow, but the rest of you sure is fast my dear.

edit - That's her sig all right. (Oh oh, did I give it away?)

As Elmer Fudd woulds say!Get a "Womb with a view" PUHLEASE

Hilaris Sarcalogos ut totus , quod ut totus a bonus nox noctis

LOL This is what I got:
I toil what little authority my chief to say give me land to do.

Ninth, it's your alluring eyes. I cannot help myself!

uhoh, is that what it means?
So how do you translate it? lol

This room has a view.

Aye YiYi, well I will leave you all to figure this conundrum out. A Merry Christmas to all. and to all a good night!
Edit:Yes Shirley that is what it means but only if the voices tell you so!

I'm tryin' Taz. lol G'night.
Merry Christmas!
I got it! woohoo!

You too Ninth?

Thank you Taz, Merry Christmas and good night to you to, and to everyone. Shirley girl, just kidding about the poison oak, I'd follow you anywhere, all 1000 of you.

Sweet dreams Ninth... all 8 of you. If we had that room with a view, I'd say... well, never mind.

One more Christmas sign off post guys!
Have a good-un

Hello all you rabble-rousing message board junkies, Dark Side Babes and Thread Hijinxers: Miss
Shirley, HandlePete, Evil Santa, and especially Miss Member who started it all by instigating a
certain Whack-a-mole on the head outburst of internet violence, not to mention stirring up a
(ninth?) wave of self-doubt to infect not only my long-held sense of gender projection online
(what, you were expecting a coherent sentence?), but even my semblence to earthly beings such as
yourself has been brought into question! (Mars indeed!)

Since you have all done such a inspired job of cajoling me out of my innermost online secret, I
will now and forthwith reward all of you breathless readers with the jaw-dropping moment of
universal truth you have just been dying to know since yesterday - are you ready!

OK that was the big buildup, now for the seriously anti-climatic truth: Sorry to disappoint all you
doubters, and cheaters who voted both ways, but the I'm afraid the majority wins this one. The
Ninth is definitely a guy. (Phew! Glad that's over.) Anyway I hope no one is too disappointed,
because if you are I'll send Miss M to whack you with a piece of Aunt Bertha's fruitcake! And if
that doesn't get you straight, there's always my new Lewisville Slugger from Evil Santa)

To all of you fine keyboard jaspers out there, the poll has been a great fun for me, and I hope a
bit of diversion for you. Thank you all for participating, and for your patience, not only in
waiting for the not-so-big revelation, but for wading through all this incredibly overblown
nonsensical piece of prose, which will finally end with these words of wisdom: If you want a long
and happy life, DO NOT eat that fruitcake.

I still think it's "God only knows"

LOL

Good Happy Christmas Day!

Welcome to th' thread barparts! Good to see someone else join in.
Oh, and I say you're wrong. lol Now we know how that one got there...

Wishin' all of you a happy day.

Hey BarParts welcome to the party and Merry Christmas. Stick around and enjoy the fun we are having and by all means please join in , the more the merrier!
Hell Miss S.

Hey Taz. How're you this fine day?

UH Shirley have you looked at the poll results? There is one more vote for God only knows, so we do have one that is still unaccounted for?

Doing great Miss S and you? Did you get ANY of the anticipated snowfall?

lol Only about an inch that's gone except for in the shade.

Well did ya get to make any snowballs and wail them?

Nah. I guess I coulda wailed 'em at the dogs.
They like to play in the snow.

It was just windy and nasty and then it was gone... fast. This is the warmest Christmas I remember since living up here.

Yeah our snow is pretty much gone also. Would have been nice to have a bit for Christmas, all we have is just in the shady areas as you said.

Well I am off to do the family thing see Y'all later. Have a great day!

Me too. You too Taz. And everyone.

Morning all!

Merry Christmas...Feeling pretty good today!

Hi there barparts, chime in whenever you want, nothing on this thread makes much sense but we're having so much fun, who cares

Again, getting ready to also do the family thing (I may throw like a guy but I still like to look like a girly girl) Miss Shirley knows what I mean dontcha

See you all later, have a happy day

Hey ya'll. How's everyone's day? Anyone here?

quote:

(I may throw like a guy but I still like to look like a girly girl) Miss Shirley knows what I mean dontcha Wink

Yes ma'am, Miss M. You betcha I do!

Hey there Darkside Half..

Better late than never You still here??

Everybody must still be out partying....

Just getting back from the party Miss M! And how you be this fine day?

I be just great Steverino, how 'bout yourself?

Was Santa good to ya? (No flashing, I hope )

Hey...'youse guys' laughed when I said this thread will probably go on to the new year...
I think it just might

BTW, 'youse guys' is real Chigago slang...

Yeah Santa was very good to me. Had a graet day with my daughters and ate way too much. how about you?

quote:

Hey...'youse guys' laughed when I said this thread will probably go on to the new year...
I think it just might

Hey I never laughed you know how vocal I am, I knew we could do it!

24 pages 3749 hits and going strong! BTW Ninth got another vote for "God only knows" making it 3 now for that!
He is either going to be extremely flattered or really pissed!

Also ate WAYYYY too much but that's nothing new. Good thing I never have to diet or I'd be in trouble Kind of glad Christmas is over tho...I love it when it's here, but too much shopping (ugh) spending $$, eating & drinking, you grt the picture

Somebody somewhere on one of our many posts didn't think this thread would last this long...don't know who it was ??

No way am I gonna go back to find out

It was probably Shirley

What? You don,t want to dig through 470 posts? Actually that should be located within the first 50 or so!
Wadda Ya think about 10 cent listing day? Guess tomorrow will be spent prepping and scheduling stuff!
I have a pile of old silver I need to post but I am talking Silverware from 1878 and before that I do not want to giveaway! I guess 10 cents will be worth it to find out if I can get anything for it!

I would think you'd get alot for it...I think I'm done listing now til the end of Feb at least...the stuff I sell is really seasonal and does 10 X better in early spring thru summer. Guess I'm going to hang on to it till then.

They didn't even send me an email this time about the listing day, I saw it here on Auctiva.

Lotta nerve

How do you happen to have silverware that old? I think it will go for ALOT..did you check any completed listings yet?

I got no email either. They ran a free 2 day listing special on cars a few weeks ago and I got the email about 8 hours before the special was over! I have a few cars I need to get listed but have been waiting for some reason!

Just for fun, I went back and tried to vote for 'God only knows' but it will only let you vote one time...Lucky for ninth, I think we'd all be messin' with him

It was inherited from my moms cousin. I am related to Andrew Carnegie and Leland Barry who was a big-wig with Mellon bank and this is stuff that was passed down. Unfortunately none of the money was passed down

Checked completed listings but really have not been able to find anything similar! I see lots of stuff going for scrap price and it would be a shame to sell this for scrap. I may do 10 day posts just to get the extra exposure?

Bummer about the money Taz, that would have been great...hey, easy come easy go. That's why we gotta work

10 days is good, I'd probably do it that way too, but timing is everything. (You already know this)
I always watch how similar stuff is selling, if it's doing good I list, if not I'll wait. I started just doing Ebay for fun, but I was actually shocked to see how much $$ I could make. Only at certain times of year tho...

Moms cousin covered the Nuremberg trials for the Stars and Stripes and if you Google Winthrop Fanning you will find this. http://www.stripes.com/photoday/123103photoday.html
He was quite the character and he worked for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette as the TV critic. i have photos of him with quite a few movie stars and he actually had an " Audience " with the Queen of England! Yeah Pete how do you like me now! LOL
he had a nice collection of German stuff and also had about 40 years worth of old TV Guides that he had saved. When we moved him over here with us we THREW the old TV Guides in the trash! Wish I would have known about eBay then!
One more link from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Schacht_AlbSchwamberger.jpg

Are you still posting on Suthrnjewl's board? I signed up a long time ago but I never have time to even read it much less post there. The only post I actually read was the one about your problem transaction Bet you're glad that's over with!

I don't post there much but I do read it regularly. I just finally got my eBay fees refunded today! Almost forgot moms cousin was one the reporters to witness the executions of the Nuremberg war criminals.

COOL stuff Steve...believe it or not, I'm always interested in WW11 stories, documentaries, anything at all. I'll give those links a closer look later on...

We're posting at the same time again

quote:

It was probably Shirley Big Grin

'Twasn't me. Why would I say such a thing when I can be such a jabber jaws?

Welcome to the party Shirley. Everyone posting at the same time here!
How was your Christmas?

Well ther's the other Darksider!

No, I meant it was probably you voting 'God only knows'

If we keep posting like this you will have your PREMIER poster wings in no time Miss S!

Almost time for Ninth to jump in here. HULLOOO Ninth are ya there?

I think the ninth likes to lurk, right Miss S ??
Then after awhile he'll jump in...he wants to see what we're saying about him first

I think Pete ('SCUSE ME, Sexy St Pete) does that too

Well ladies much as I would like to stay and play I have a long day tomorrow so should get some rest.
Have fun and be good! On second thought at least have fun

Hey Taz! I had a great day, thank you! It's always so much fun to spend time with the grandkids. They're such a delight!

I dunno, Miss M. Does he lurk and Sexy St Pete too? lol I think Pete's sleepin' now. ?? Hope your loved ones are better today, Pete.
Ninth, are you lurking out there, you pretty sweet fly?

I wonder who said it won't last. Did anyone? I don't remember. lol

Right you are Taz...'be good' and 'have fun' don't belong in the same sentence

Have a great day tomorrow..

Hah! Taz, you said it right by changing it. lol Sweet dreams.

Hey Shirley,

Tell Ninth you have the mistletoe waiting for him

I bet he shows up then!

omg Mistletoe... I forgot about mistletoe! How could I do that! lol I'll put it in the door to my parlor.

I can't believe I'm sayin this, but I'm gonna go to sleep (early for me, huh)

Kinda burnt out from the last 2 days..talk tomorrow.

BTW S, I sent you a funny

On second thought, I'm not sure mistletoe goes with spider web decor.

I'm beat to a pulp. Sweet dreams, Miss M if you're still here. (dang, I'm slow! lol) Pete too, rather Sexy St Pete and that should be good morning to you.

Ninth, gmta

Hi gang - No I haven't been lurking, matter of fact I just got in from Christmas with my daughter, her mom (my X) and her grandmother. It was a very nice day, lots of presents and great food. I am so stuffed I can barely bend over to tie my shoes - all that turkey you know. I bought my daughter a ton of computer and video games, so she was in video game ecstasy. She's 16 and been playing them since she was 3, thanks to Dad. Anyway I caught up on the posts, and see we finally got a new poster. We could use a few more. Glad you all had a great day, keep it going. I'm wiped, so am away to bed, but will check in tomorrow. You're right Miss S, gmta - I really don't think the mistletoe will be necessary. Yes we know: 'GAR' (new net-lingo acronym)
