In an effort to raise gold, I have decided to sell:
If you would like to buy this person, please PM me with offers, as the stupid market system will not let me put her up for sale via there.
(Note: Unlike Ebay Gaia apparently does not prevent the sale of human beings in its TOS, thus proving that Gaia is a better place to shop than Ebay is.)

Is she in good condition?
How often has she been used?
Original packaging?
You're going to have to include more details or no one will ever buy from you.

Khall, this is most untoward. What is the meaning of this? You can't just go around selling something you don't own. Maybe they do on your home planet, but not here. You have compelled me to put on my angry face.
At any rate, I am owned by a large international corporation which franchises my likeness. Boy, are you going to get hit with a big intellectual property lawsuit. Well, that's OK, my lawyers, Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe will be in touch.

FastFresnel Khall, this is most untoward. What is the meaning of this? You can't just go around selling something you don't own. Maybe they do on your home planet, but not here. At any rate, I am owned by a large international corporation which franchises my likeness. Boy, are you going to get hit with a big intellectual property lawsuit. Well, that's OK, my lawyers, Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe will be in touch. I had anticipated a legal mel'ee as a result of this. Thusly, I have spent all afternoon researching excellent precedents in this. Vis a' vis item, many companies now provide services that allow your name to replace that of the numerical designation of a star. As they do not own said chromium baubles upon the interstellar velveteen blackness, whereas I in fact do, they however sell them. Item, the American conglomerate ruling disorder, collectively known as The Government circa 1992 (A.D.) sold the frequencies of radio transmision collequally known as High Definition Television Channels to the Cable and Satelite media corporations for a kiss and a promise (e.g. for free). And yet, as one can not contain radio signals, as proven by the fact that my worshippers on Rigel 4 are at this time bombarded with 1950s serials and other vomitous waste, one may not own them. Item, Newton's Principla Mathematica is oft (mis-)quoted in your college textbooks, which as many know violate several biblical precepts, as charging usurous rates, commiting the sin of omission and pandering to the principle of establishing as truth what is actually faith. (Witness the treatment suffered by Nicolo Machiavelli, a great and good man, by the crumbling vestiges of what passes for scholarship in the screeching monkey house of Bedlam-esque academia?) And yet, these beings part him out like a particuarly gruesome Duck Merengue upon the spill-spotted, rum-soaked tablecloth of Public Education, wringing droplets of sustenance from lakes of grease. Like Karl Marx trying to match the efforts of a besotted blindman at the dart game of historical relevancy, and providing far more merriment than the jester aping him, in his ridicule-worthy bumbling way. smile As you can see, I am sure you will concur, there is much historical and legal precedent for selling something you don't own. Or for owning something you can't lay your hands on right at that moment. Or for wrapping a bale of complexities up in a pretty field of pink paper, adorning it with silver ribbons and golden bows and slapping a price tag upon its beknighted posterior.

I'd pay money to see Khall get whooped by Fresnel!
Heck, I'd probably pay to see him get whooped by just about anybody. I bet he'd put up a great fight!

Mmmph? Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I seem to have dozed off.
Fascinating. This intellectual emesis is riveting, I'm sure, but Newton, Machiavelli, and Karl Marx don't stand out in my mind as pioneers in intellectual property case law. As far as precedent for selling something you don't have, at least here in the U.S. and not on Githdorp 5 or wherever you hail from, the most prominent example that springs to mind is the Brooklyn Bridge, which has been hawked to poor, unwashed, unsuspecting immigrants for decades. Do you liken the members of this elite and learned forum to those uneducated, gullible saps?
For that slight alone, I think that the TLS membership now has enough goods on you to ride you out of here on your little photon torpedo rail. And combine it with this little catchy tidbit, "spill-spotted, rum-soaked tablecloth of Public Education, wringing droplets of sustenance from lakes of grease", which turn of phrase really is a crime against the language, and baby, you're toast.

Addendum: As I will now be leaving to wring some droplets of malt brew from the spill-spotted tablecloths at Taco Mac, and you presume to own me, I'll have the bill sent over.
One more thing: What is a beribboned, bebowed BALE?
And yet one more: Were they having a "buy one alliteration, get one free" sale there at the Intergalactic Piggly Wiggly today?

FastFresnel Addendum: As I will now be leaving to wring some droplets of malt brew from the spill-spotted tablecloths at Taco Mac, and you presume to own me, I'll have the bill sent over. One more thing: What is a beribboned, bebowed BALE? And yet one more: Were they having a "buy one alliteration, get one free" sale there at the Intergalactic Piggly Wiggly today? Firstly, if that was asking if I would buy you a drink, the answer is yes. Second, a bale is anything that has been baled. Of course. Third, I do not shop in the Piggly Wiggly, as the name disturbs me, nor H. E. Butts green grocers. However, many, many years ago, I made an astoundingly, if unsuprisingly, astute investment, which has yielded years of alliterations. Third and a halfly, I think you are only jealous of my just characterization of the modern education system and thus, seek to vent said jealousy via spotting spills and soaking rum. smile

Why, thank you for the drink. Here is the bill for $62.52. I regret to report, however, that after having imbibed it, your previously posts seem to make much more sense. I think I'll go downstairs and see what other delights my rum-soaked tablecloth can yield ... then, you will make splendid sense, a pellucid purveyor of perfectly posited pronouncements.
