Interesting item. I wonder if it breast-feeds as an infant?

Now if there was a skid mark absorber, I'd have a pocket version handy.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Laughable?

LAMENTABLE, as usual.

For those of you who were unable to attend Gen Con 2005, here is something that may help you in your recovery:

You can actually buy someone elses pictures on CD. :o

Exactly what are you "wowing" about?  The fact that someone would actually pay $10 for a cd full of someone else's Gen Con experiences, or "duct tape girl"?  8O

I think "duct tape girl" is supposed to be Leeloo from The Fifth Element. Could be wrong. If he was going to try and market it at least he could try and make it look like he was selling pictures of people dressed as famous sci-fi characters and not just a CD of girls you missed at the Con  :lol:

The fact that someone would actually try to sell pictures of a con. It's not like there aren't a whole lotta pictures up.



Duct tape girl.. *shrug* Finding far more "interesting" things online isn't difficult ;)

I am embarrassed to be in the same country/province as this guy.  Either he's shady, laughable, or I've just uncovered a stash of rares in my own home...  8O

-DEITIES & DEMIGODS By James M. Ward with Robert J. Kuntz (TSR; May 1980)- 128 pgs. 2nd or 3rd edition (I think). Good+ copy.



5 original 1980s AD D DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS rule books | eBay



Also included is a chapter I photocopied from the first edition of DEITIES & DEMIGODS on Melnibonian Mythos (Elric of Melnibone series by Michael Moorcock). 9 pages total. This chapter was struck from subsequent editions, I believe due to copyright infringement.




Hay isn't that copyright infringement also? :lol:

I wonder if the idiot who is actually buying it realizes that he is not even getting the Cthulhu pages, just the Melnibonean ones. :wink:

That's not too crazy. D1-2, Q1, three pastels, and two commons. All look like they're in good shape, so it's high, but not creep1962 or coug level high ;)

Am I really stupid or isn't picture number two basically any cyber-goth but more importantly - a "nurse" type and not a nun?



Sometimes I wish I had the guts to wear things like that, but then I remember how hot & uncomfortable rubber & pvc can be & how stupid you can look in it unless you actually are in a goth nightclub.

Almost related... *I'm* getting silly, not the description:



MOZART Da Ponte Operas 9 CD NEW RICARDO MUTI | eBay



unquote:

"A major soloist in Don Giovanni (Disks 4-6) being the noted mezzo Susanne Mentzer, world-famous sister of the obscure RPG author of the 1980s (now a bakery manager), FRANK Mentzer!"



Anybody like Classical? It's a good set...  :wink:
