Ebay auction-- Gum and Wad of Tissue from the set of Angel This is *probably not* a bonafide auction from Fox.....but they sure fooled me!

"This piece of gum was chewed by Spike in Season 5, Episode 2 on the television show "Angel." The tissue contains certified nasal material from Angel in the same episode. Bonus: the original gum wrapper!"

Ha. That's even funnier than the auctioning of Spike's dust from "Time Bomb".

I'm holding out for the jar of Illyria-laden air captured from Amy Acker's wake as she left the make-up trailer to start the final day of shooting.

Ubqtous | July 17, 05:53 CET

Spike was chewing gum? I thought he was immaterial in that episode.

Cabus | July 17, 06:04 CET

haha, fantastic point Cabus.

bunnyofthekungfu | July 17, 06:05 CET

Oh. My. God.

Someone needs to follow up and see how much is paid for this and if the person defaults.

Willowy | July 17, 06:09 CET

Just to make a correction and to point out to anyone that didn't notice the URL, it's not a real auction! Just someone making a joke about Fox's prop auctioning.

Not, uh, that I tried to bid or anything. :D

lol.thats funny.they sell really cheap stuff, nd ppl buy it for lots of cash.just becuz it was used by an actor.

TheSlayer246 | July 17, 06:15 CET

what is the person who gets it gonna do with it?is he/her gonna chew it?lol.

TheSlayer246 | July 17, 06:16 CET

Yeah, I see now that if you click on 'bids' it shows bidding for the Scroll they were selling. What's up with this? It *seems* authentic. I'll amend the description.

Rogue Slayer | July 17, 06:17 CET

So it's a joke. Damn that sure was convincing, hehe. Good stuff. And really, I wasn't even THAT surprised when I thought it was real. How far removed is it from the real auction of Angel's toilet role holder?

EdDantes | July 17, 06:19 CET

Yeah it was convincing because...have you seen some of the things being auctioned off on ebay?

There actually was a wad of gum sold on e-bay last year. I think it went for $1000. It was supposedly chewed by Luis Gonzalez a baseball player for the Arizona Diamondbac.

Hmmm... I think I know who did this!

Famed? Is she big in the Buffyverse or something? Not familiar with the name.

I'm shocked...and hurt. Apparently I have to try harder.

Hmm doesn't ring a bell......you know her personally then?;-)

EdDantes | July 17, 09:30 CET

A comment from the possibly "guilty party" and yet she doesn't deny it. I think we've found our culprit! ;)

Sorry, I'm not up on all the forums and stuff. And I checked out that article. Funny stuff. I wasn't actually into the 'verse until last year, though, so I missed that one.

Rogue Slayer | July 17, 09:35 CET

Doesn't anybody look at URLs when they're on the web?

Caroline | July 17, 10:29 CET

This is just too freaking hilarious.

Silent Night | July 17, 15:52 CET

It is the best piss take I've seen in ages.

Did you ever see this one?

Taramisu | July 17, 18:06 CET

Taramisu, I read the Wesley one. I didn't realize it was a joke. Wesley's a sociopath? Heh. Yeah, I can be gullible.

electricspacegirl | July 17, 20:09 CET

Thanks for the links... It wouldn't surprise me if something gross wasn't auctioned on ebay. Did you see how much James Marsters got for his old sofa? I bet it was more than he paid for it!

I loved the 'thesis' it is so cleverly put together. I never saw the Wesley one. A link perhaps? Please...

Jocasta | July 17, 21:06 CET

SpikeThesis

Nope. Sorry. Probably very funny, but I don't think my reading ADD could handle it! Maybe I'll just read the abstract! : )

Rogue Slayer | July 17, 22:34 CET

Uh...let me go check my numerous folders of Buffyverse bookmarks...Ugh, I'm sorry. I can't find it and probably didn't bookmark it. I remember sending a link of it to a friend.

I'll see if I can find her or someone else who has it.

electricspacegirl | July 17, 22:36 CET

Oh, but I did just come across the link to Buffy's Season 2 diary from that Spike Thesis page. I think this is a hilarous parody, and this part really made me laugh.

Becoming Part 2:
I don’t know what S was talking about when he said all that stuff. Didn’t even know what most of it meant except the happy meals with legs. That is just so gross.

Heh.

electricspacegirl | July 17, 22:44 CET

This is funy stuff, but is there a main page? channelingboards.com by itself tells me I don't have permission. Me not have permission! Whoever heard of such a thing!

EdDantes | July 17, 23:13 CET

EdDantes,

Whats My Line Part 2:
I still don’t understand it. S with that freaky Dru chick? Doesn’t seem to make sense. When I got a hold of her she didn’t even struggle. I was practically holding her up cuz she was so weak. Seems very strange her with S. He’s so strong and stuff. He must have to take care of her. I mean he must really love her only he doesn’t have a soul so he can’t. I should ask G. Can vamps get married? I should ask A. Or not cuz he’d probably think I meant him. Not that that would be a bad thing. Mrs. I don’t even know his last name. Do vamps have a last name? Have to check into that.

Oh my god, I just can't stop laughing. Sorry. I'll stop now.

electricspacegirl | July 17, 23:32 CET

I think the funniest thing has to be is that www.buffy.nu seem to think this is a real auction.

Seriously? I'm trying not to laugh, really I am...::veg::

Ah what am I saying, I fell for it at as well when I followed Taramisus link at BAPS. Brilliant work, as always.

faith1984 | July 18, 02:08 CET

Never heard of it. Can't find it on Google. If anyone finds it, let me know.

Wednesday's Child is the main page.

Taramisu | July 18, 03:27 CET

I don't see anyting about the auction on that website. Am I blind?

Taramisu | July 18, 03:30 CET

They've since removed the link.
