More like functionally psychotic.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Ah, then she's "mental" (to employ '80s valley girl parlance) rather than a "mentalist". I thought ashmire was implying there was some sort of mind-reading involved... I was confused.

Ashmire, that sounds reasonable. The only other contact I've had with her was as Lisa's Stuff. I was an ebay newbie and she wanted me to revise a copy of Beastmaker Mountain that I started at, I think, $9.99 to have a BIN of $15.00 and let her know when I changed it. She said she would buy it right away. Thanks to the people at the Acaeum I knew not to do it.

For a definition of mentalist, check out the TV episode of Alan Partridge where he ends up held hostage...

I prefer the dictionary

.

I've never heard of Alan Partridge, but I'll look him up. I watch a good amount of BBC America (where else can you find Star Trek these days..

, and Kitchen Nightmares cracks me up), but haven't come across that one yet.

It's most likely not going to be in there, as it's more a term used than defined (if that makes sense..??)

Treat yourself to some Alan, its a niche humour, but I find it uncomfortably funny... Along with Brass Eye, possibly one the finest docu-news-comedies ever!! :lol:

Will do, sounds funny.

Actually "mentalist" is in the dictionary, but none of the definitions match your usage, which was why I was confoosled.

Watched it; somewhat amusing, probably would be funnier if I were more familiar with him... Now I get the reference, anyway.

True enough, it's a 5min clip from a 30 min show in a however many series..

But as said, its humour of an acquired taste perhaps :lol:

My guess is that it's the same item that's calling to me...

I like the neutral feedback someone left

eBay Feedback Profile for brenscollectables

Was turned off by finding a dead fly in the box and that the dice smelled

Damn.

I evidently bid on something of his/hers/its and won it recently, without realizing it was this seller (yes, I had read this thread..duh).

Well, it only cost me a few bucks, and maybe it'll turn out okay. (S)he seems to be on the "good feedback" upward swing, still.
