Help TCO sell a bunch of crap on Ebay! Win valuable prizes! Increase Your PM Length

Also, Ming, could you unlock his account? He asked me to start this thread for him.

Hints for selling crap on Ebay:

1. Spraypaint an image of the Virgin Mary/Jesus on your item.
2. Reference Pat Tillman, claim the proceeds go to some charity or something.
3. USE A mIXtURE OF alL CaPS In YOru DEscRIPTIOn!
4. HOT HOT HOT EBAY SEARCH KEYWORDS!: Bukkake, Tito and Jermaine, 36D, "Remembrance of Things Past".

Actually, he wants to sell his pulp SF collection. With this crowd, he might not have to go to Ebay at all...

Whatcha got, TCO?

Are we to take it he's lost 15 pounds already? If so, he could probably make millions just by sharing his miraculous secret. And get to keep all of his junk as well.

you can lose 15 pounds really easy by wearing no clothes, not drinking or eating anything for 24 hours, and do some other things (Sweating?)

but those won't stay off

Why does TCO need to lose 15 pounds, he looked athletic when I saw him, maybe he wants to get ripped or something.

Crack cocaine would explain his weight loss as well as the crap he posts.

I read that book.

It wasn't that bad (assuming you meant the science content, not the writing style). Benford is a physics professor and his science extrapolations, while bordering on the fantastic, are based in then-current theory (as opposed to a lot of hand-waving that you'll find in SF authors not all that big on the science (Connie Willis, Harry Turtledove, etc.))

If TCO sends me a PM, I will release him (or any other staff member would as well) since he is the one that asked to be restricted.

I will not do so simply because a third party has requested it

SO.... TCO... you want to post again... JUST TELL ME!

Got spare money?

He's been through this many times... all he needs to do is send a PM.

However, on another note... the next person that posts a thread asking for us to release him will find themselves in a similar position to TCO... but they won't be able to request a quick release

Y'know, I actually helped build the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Lab. I helped construct the power transmission line and helped build, test and install the kicker magnets that shunted the particles from the old, smaller collider (the AGS, Alternating Gradient Synchrotron) to RHIC.

Great place to work, BNL.
