For old times sake ... a combo panty-troll thread.

While going through Grandpa's old stuff in the back of the attic I found a few pair of his old long johns. These are real antiques and most don't have any holes except one is missing part of the back. They are surely from the uptight Victorian era of New England when people would never have let someone else see them nekkid (except at the moment you're born of course). So all skin needed to be covered, plus those loooong cold New England winters, necessitated wearing these handy-dandy pairs of long underwear. I wager there's a great deal of family history connected to these antique long johns.

Can somebody tell me how to price these and please bid them up way high when I put them on EBay.

happy new year to the AW RT...

Are they used?

Start them at .01, no reserve, 20$ shipping, and watch those johnnies fly.

Do they have any stains? If I'm going to buy them they'd better have stains.And in the right places too.

Buttons open for the pix. Nice looking model.

Why does the model have to be good looking Snowy? You know you aren't going to be looking at his face.

Make sure the model is well-endowed.None of that sausage trickery...the real deal.

yes they have very authentic looking stains. However, they will be freshly laundered and therefore meet all Ebay rules.

snowy, great idea.. bare bum fotos for the ads...

I wonder if it would be possible for me to get suspended tonight. I've never been suspended anywhere. What a way to end the AW RT year.

Somebody at AC just registered the user name stinkpot tonight. I wonder if he or she has been reading this thread.

A conspiracy theory may be forthcoming.

Get out of the ether Snowy.

Close ups with the Mavica might be just the thing to get Enchanted suspended.

Stinkpot? Hmmmmmm...sounds oh so familiar.


Never trust a stinkpot. That's my motto. For tonight. It changes in the AM.

Choco! howdy! I tell you what. If the model comes with stains you can have him, if it's just the longjohns he is all mine! I bid high and often. Just like everything else in my life.

Who should we get to model them? any volunteers? I vote for Josey.

Rawbunz don't tempt me with mere pictures to get suspended... I need something really creative to go out with a big bang

Ask Seller A Question

"Hi! I am interested in those old longjohns you're selling on eBay but I want to know a few things first:

1) Did your Grandpaw die in 'em?

2) Did he ever sleep in 'em?

3) Have you (I hope not) washed 'em?

Thank you, BigBidBagBoom"

Enchanted, I do like the way you think. I've had similar thoughts myself. If I'm a going it's with a huge bang! We could go for a mass suspension.

let's give them something to talk about...

A new motto everyday... I like the concept.

Awright... who here on this thread is the "stinkpot" user at AC? There's a conspirator here on this thread and I want to know who it is!

I have taken whiff of myself and I can guarantee you that it is not I who is "stinkpot". Whoever it is seems to know everyone quite well. Well at least one everyone. Ver-r-r-r-r-y interesting.........

Mass suspension! Yessss! Brilliant idea. But how, how, I'm wracking my brain. They don't even care enough to suspend us anymore...

Dear BigBadBumBuyer:

Of course my grandpappy died in 'em. Do ya think I'd sell them if he was still wearing them everyday? They are freshly laundered, EBay says I must launder, so I wash 'em. Please contact safeharbor though and let them know what a crappy rule this is. Oh, and he slept in his long johns every night, not the same pair of course, he had several pairs, that's why I'm selling them as a lot. However, as far as I know, he never lent them to a cheerleader to wear them. He broke them in all by hisself.

sincerely, Professional ebay Seller

Was your grandaddy a stinkpot? Did he eat a lot of beans? Will these be shipped wrapped in protective plastic? Will you put them on and wear them for a day before you ship them? Will you wear red high heels when you wear them? Will you wear them to the mall and let the cheerleaders touch them?

Well????


edited ...it wasn't red high hell at all..

Would someone please copy/paste what's going on at AC so I don't have to wade through loading it?

Meanwhile...

"eBay Seller, will I be able to channel Ron's dead dog while wearing your Grandpaw's dead undies? Clockwork plastic frogs are nice, of course, but your body in this world has been so deeply invalidated by space invaders in moonsuits brandishing plastic pepper-mills that go BapBapBapBapBap that, in your pain, you refuse to remember the past lives on your bleater-track...
Thank you for your prompt reply."

Well I never! you are a picky buyer Rawbunzel. And the affrontery of insulting my poor grandpappy. He was no stinkpot, there's no stinkpots in MY family.

He loved his beans though. New England baked beans every night.

I think you should wear them yourself after you get them to give them that lived in appearance. I can't risk my ebay livelihood for your perverted desires. I will wear four inch black heels though while packing the box for the long johns.

Yep we'll have to suspend ourselves, Rawbunz. No one else cares enough to do it so we'll have to do it ourselves. We're already being talked about at AC ya know, and stinkpot has been referred to this discussion. The conspiracy deepens.

plsmith, are you trying to get me suspended by copying posts from AC here??? Hmmm, that could be a way to do it. It's too boring though. You're not missing much.

Dear EbayBuyer: If you are the winning bidder, I will include a free tin-foil hat specially designed to deflect all those nasty gamma rays from space that are causing your mental confusion. It was blessed by my grandpappy prior to his death. However, copies of Twilight Zone shows taped direct from my TV are $5 additional.

Oh my! And now PLSmith is acting all innocent like ...as though she can't find the thread herself...


Plots. I do love them.


Wait. PLSmith is trying to get us suspended for posting a link!

Eeek Rawbunzel, plsmith was an undercover spy, I think she was (drumroll) stinkpot! And now, I have to run for my life 'cause I said it was boring, it was just an excuse 'cause I'm too lazy to cut and paste, really. Seriously.

Maybe we could get suspended if we discuss all the anon names at AC.

Enchanted! You little devil you! I watch Twilight Zone all the time on my TV. Just like you to sweeten the pot like that. Only $5 ? All of Twilight Zone? My TV won't make copies.I stick paper in and nothing comes out. They told me when I bought it I could make copies with it too. I should have taken it back but I grew kind of attached to it. Sitting there all dressed in black.........

Plsmith is too damn lazy to open another window and load AC and figure out which forum all this new drivel is in.
You should all know by now that no one is going to harm you for posting links because we're the ones in charge -- kinda like the Kindergarten teacher went out for a staff meeting and never came back. So! Up off your mats, you little gluestains, it's time we had a Play-doh war

Want to? We used to get into trouble for mentioning the trolls at GB. Maybe that would get us suspended.

I need more Rum and coke.

Where did everyone go? Or was anyone else ever really here? I feel I am losing my zen-sibilities! Oh,my.

OK lazy butt. Here is the link. BUT I will not make it clickable. No no no. not me. They can trace the link directly to your brain and then when they get there they eat it. OH yeah. I heard it on the TV so I know it's true.[TV wasn't on at the time though, strange.]
