Just got to convince my other half that this is a good idea :?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 5562858638

But even if I do convince her, chances are she'll want to put the money in some sort of trust fund rather than my own D&D trust. :roll:

What's more likely is that I get to sleep on the sofa for a week.

Hrmm.... Highest bidder = Golden Palace Casino, yet again (the real one this time, I think)... No surprise, there!

aside: They've only listed the auction under the "Slightly Weird" category in eBay's listings hierarchy, btw. *blinks*.

Could always auction off middle names as a compromise, I s'pose.

(Oh, and you don't really want my personal thoughts on this kinda auction, btw).

I get a kick out of these ridiculous things and really can't believe people would plunk down that kind of money.

This Golden Palace Casino fella must be a billionaire or something....he throws money around like it's nothing. What do you think the kids names will be?? Golden Casino or Golden Palace or something?

He was the winner of the advertising auction on that damsels +3 Ample Rack of Delight a while back I remember. :twisted:

How fucking STUPID can someone be? There is nothing saying the parents can't name the kids, then change the names.
You know, people wonder why I think the human race is doomed....

Completely correct Frank I was thinking the same thing, All they would have to do is re-file with the state for a name change (being the LEGAL guradians/ Parents in this case) and simply change the names. Winning the naming doesn't have a disclaimer saying they can't change the names at a latter date. :?

BTW Frank, How'd that PRAYER go you had up awhile back? :lol: :lol:

The guy who owns Golden Palace clearly falls into the category: More money than brains. :roll:

OK how about this? I'll legally change my name in exchange for a complete or near complete set of OD&D Mint(Y) items (White box/woodgrain/Chanimail/etc etc.
And the deal is you can name me after your favorite D&D Module.
Mr. Keep Borderlands--middle name "of the"
Mr. Vault Drow
Oooo I got it, Mr. Tsojcanth!
Uh oh, I forgot about B3.....

For a complete set of everything, I'd take "Mr H1 through 4, sir" to my grave

There are no bad editions of D&D, just Boring Players and Unimaginative DMs.
