If this post isn't eponysterical then I don't know what is.

75 bids and no one knows what he was dumped for... hmm.

So when are you a couple, dflemingdotorg?

(Oh and BigLankyBastard, what have you done for us lately? ;) )

I've refrained from posting crappy one-link e-bay posts. Thanks for asking.

This is where I would make a "Sad Brit" joke, but I can't think of any.

I was thinking the same thing, especially when I saw "All Inclusive."

Astro Zombie: my girlfriend has this crazy theory that it's actually Todd F. Packer, not Jan. Risqué! Ahem... to more serious matters.

This post is the suck, but still entertaining. C+

I'm just chiming in to bitch about these tired cries of 'eponysterical'. It was fun at first, but now there's just no discrimination.

Also: This post is the weak sauce. And I should know.

"My wife's gone to the West Indies."

"Jamaica?"

"No, she went of her own accord."


Well, I had to after this.

The bids are already over £900 and there's what looks like a dodgy one at over £1K. I think he would have done better selling it off to a couple instead of a who-knows-who-else, but there's the riddle.

Besides, divingweasel gives him two thumbs up and stiffmaster was burgled b4 he could collect.

I do think he and Graham Norton would make a cute couple though. He should be more open minded.

Not sure I fancy taking someone who has a jealous husband, I like my arams and legs where they are

This post is hilarious and creepy. If that's not what the web does best, then I don't know what is.

I do have to have a few rules, after all, I'd hate to spend time on holiday with **************************

Doesn't he intend to say "spend time on holiday WITHOUT ********&^%$&ing"? Or is the ***** meant to describe the wrong kind of woman? That is, one who would doesn't understand that by accepting a discounted ticket she's relinquished her right to refuse him sexually? Yeah I'd hate to spend time on holiday with that kind of woman, too. Bitch.

Last time I checked, my mom was the high bidder.
posted by Dizzy at 2:30 PM on December 28, 2006

My math is shady at the best of times but isn't the auction now priced at 3 times the amount required by the seller to not be at a loss? Does anyone read these things before they start bidding?! I have a feeling that the winner shall go iccomunicado once the auction ends hee hee

@dfleming...a couple is a couple is a couple. Hetero or otherwise 2 is the magic number

mycapaciousbottega, I think he's argument was that a couple might not be so much a "couple", per se, if they've never even met.

And please don't use the @ thing to address people. Pretty please. Sugar atop.

I hope that the highest bidder is a Big Beautiful Woman. And I hope she gets her money's worth out of him.

Oh my. People sell off strange things on eBay? Surely you jest.

That said, I hope the woman who wins is one badass dominatrix with biceps like Schwarzenegger.

i was going to point out that my comment was more a reflection of how absurd the whole thing is, but that seems pretty evident anyways, so i won't waste the bytes.

I am in total agreeance hence my comment. I am guessing that didn't come across.

And please don't use the @ thing to address people. Pretty please. Sugar atop.

noted and registered captain. hold the sugar though as I have had more carbs than I should have already this week :)
