It is a violation of Regretsy’s Terms Of Abuse to call out other Regretsy losers by pointing out spelling errors. Thank yew. Bobwhite. regretsy admin. This thread has been closed.
I could have sworn I had a WordPress account, but I apparently don’t as I can’t log in to gravatar.
But I did realize I can display my full name here.
Whee!
I suspect that this is actually a custom order for MacGuyver, who is finally getting married (poor old chap). It’s really the only feasible explanation.
OH! pauldodo. oh. that was worth the wait! I remembered where else I exist. Place a web adress in your WordPress profile and you’ll go BIG LETTER name.
OK, referencing your own hot link is uberlame; but there’s a geocentric debate about SQUIRRELS? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrels
“The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please improve this article and discuss the issue on the talk page.” Sorry, I’ll get back on topic.
Until people started making fun of the spelling I thought it said “Cumberland” (as in the Cumberland Gap) and was hypothesizing that the sewn-on crap represented landscapes features.
It’s kind of a shame we don’t have official forums (yet?)
We could totally have Photoshop challenges with some of these things. Design a Christmas gift basket! Dress up Suzie & Johnny for the prom! Design on a dime, Regretsy style!
#57 hammerhead77 — oh, man. There is no reason on earth that those items COULDN”T be there — in fact, they sorta balance the piece. The Michael Jackson Golliwog and the reborn CSI baby now balance the new grouping of nuts and needle-felted vulva so beautifully. What an eye.
I’m a whizz at shaking the maracas so can please get a spot in the Regretsy band?
it took me a while to figure out what this baby blue ribbon with stones on it were supposed to be used for. I blame a sheltered upbringing
Hermes- it’s the fish in a squirrel suit taxidermy that pauldodo linked. It might keep you up at night.
Come to think about it, what is up with crafts and squirrels?? We’ve had the squirrel blood, fish in a squirrel suit, and squirrel-in-a-vagina (combining 2 favorite themes). An Etsy search brings up over 180 pages of squirrel shit! (That’s just with squirrel spelled right–squirell and squirrell probably add more!) Geez, and I thought my dog was obsessed with squirrels…
That may take a little while, but I think it could be arranged.
Would you prefer that it ride the fish in a squirrel suit or the bleeding squirrel on the front page? I may also have to add Sarah Palin in there, just for the helluvit.
I was thinking just regular squirrel, but then the thought of the fish in the squirrel suit being saddled up by the CSI Miami baby is funny as all hell.
From reading the other Regretsy pages, I actually do know of a seller who probably has crafted a vagina that looks like a sunset. If not, she’ll make you one! [*cough* http://www.etsy.com/shop/WomanInBloom *cough*]
is it me or does that one look like what would happen if Darth Vader got his head squished in between a set of vice grips until one of his eyeballs popped out
It’s good to know that they were’t made from molds.
That would mean that there are some out there that have owls, and flowers and such as part of their delicate anatomy.
You know, I wanted to mock how it just looks like formless slabs of unfortunate play-doh. Then I saw one of the more detailed pieces on her site.
Like the fishy death vadge. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33020094
Dear. God.
Sorry Pauldodo and Kamikaze, long day, just found my way back to Regretsy. Yes, let’s get the band back together, We can rock some CCR and call ourselves The Suzie Q Cumber Band.
haha. I started to notice that too. I was looking at it more closely and then saw the spider, and then remembered those creepy NatGeo ‘I survived a poisonous spider bite’
about how limbs go black and necrotic and fall off so I stopped that train of thought immediately and went back to ‘Squishy Head Darth Vader’ =\
I am starting to think folks are just making crap with the goal of getting on Regretsy. At least I hope that was the reason this particular piece of crap was made.
edenartist – ROFL! Also LMAO at Vagina Kraken.
I’m working on the reborn squirrel piece. I have finished the vaginal sunset. (There’s a sentence I never thought I’d type), but then I had to stop ‘cuz, well, I wanted to watch an EPL match, but I’ll be able to work on the reborn-squirrel motif this afternoon when the TV gets commandeered to watch “football” (you know, the rugby knock-off with the helmets and such)
This one definitely made it to get on Regretsy as check everything else she has sold- mainly vintage items. But why sabotage your own shop by making something so (yes!) repulsive? I just don’t get it. We need Columbo to solve THIS mystery…
Bloody hell, Kamikaze- what the heck sort of shop is THAT?! I mean, did you read her “profile”- sheesh….!! Everything else is $99 and this vag doll (and I think my eyes may have started to bleed if I’d looked at it any longer) for $1? Come on. At least TRY to convince us.
I am thinking that Regretsy actually needs to move away from the clinically insane and the trying too hard and concentrate on the just REALLY BAD ARTS AND CRAFTS. It is often so much funnier, and Helen’s comments…
Kamikaze-go-in Straight To Hell
November 22, 2009 at 1:39 pm
…are the best. Couldn’t agree more. Helen, of course, didn’t find (or at least didn’t use) this, we her minions did, hammerhead77 specifically. Don’t know if you read any Esty forums, but the book announcement unleashed a shit storm in both directions, with some sellers swearing to get their stuff noticed by Regretsy; then this. You get that she took another Esty artist’s work featured here and altered it yes? I am, in all ways, in complete agreement with you.
Not sure I had seen the original piece she altered- mighT have missed it. But what happens when someone ACTUALLY buys this and sends her a photo LOL?!! How’d she like DEM APPLES? Can’t follow through on the sale because oh, it was a joke and BAM- busted!
#1- am- some of us have to work!
#2- js- you are so ‘in’ the band!!
#3- Kami- no need, I’ll send the jet.
#4- addiosix- a band’s never compleat without a triangle playa.
Hey are we up to three drummers now? ‘Cause that’d be awesome! There is a Brazilian rock/punk band with two drummers and they do some crazy shit.
In regards to genre, I’m cool with damn near anything but country! I did, however, promise my mom to play a deathmetal version of “close to you” by the Carpenters if I ever got a gig.
Apropos of absolutely nothing, I posted in the etsy forum today while shopping for corn poo soap (yes, for real). It was a nice post, complimentary, I thought. They accused me of being someone’s sock and banned me. Not sure what to make of that.
No need for all the crediting, Kimikaze. I just stumbled upon it.
I think I had a different reaction to that vagina doll thing. I thought it was funny as hell just on a wacko, sending up Etsy level. It reminded me of the vagina on a vagina that someone made. I don’t think that vag doll is anywhere close to bookworthy, if that was the seller’s intention. In fact, the vag doll thing would probably have been better posted in a comment thread over here. Save the $ on the Etsy listing!
OK, no, I can’t get the site up, but I think it’s this computer, not them. It’s the “April Winchell” thread. I don’t think I spelled that right, did I? Sorry – don’t ban me! I posted as whimsiclefluffery something like 12 pages in.
I guess I’m just banned from the forums and from responding to all the members accusing me of…what, exactly, I’m not sure, but some sort of nastiness?
Runaway, page 15 of that thread has a post from RobWhite, himself, that says:
says:
Sock puppets not welcome, hello to everyone else, back to your regularly scheduled thread. =)
Posted at 9:38 pm, November 22 2009 EST – Report this post
So, haven’t read and followed the whole thread, but I’m guessing that, perhaps, Etsy can see/deduce your involvement with Regretsy, Runaway, can see that you are not an Etsy seller, and blocked/removed your account. And apparently there were other “sock puppets” that he/they removed at the same time. Censorship, even against those like you who were trying to point out the benefit of Regretsy to Etsy sellers. Really scary.
I know I’m late but I’d love to play cowbell (as I don’t think anyone has scooped it up yet)
I also sing opera…seriously.
And yes, new thread is needed, whoever said that!
Anyone else here moderated a forum before? It can be a tough balancing act, but the modding in those Etsy forums is pretty much a standing example of what not to do as far as I’m concerned. The mods are passive-aggressive. When everything goes haywire they come in and shut the thread down. Why not give a warning when the thread is opened that everyone needs to be civil and play nicely (including the Etsy posters!!) or it’ll get closed?? Give a warning or two if things get heated.
(cont’d) Then, if nobody listens to warnings, shut the thread down! The mods there are also inconsistent. It’s perfectly OK to call out other posters, but it’s not OK to call out other sellers? How does that make sense?? The regular posters, esp. sellers, in those forums clearly seem to be shown favoritism. Just reading that forum as an outsider, that winks girl is clearly feeding & goading the supposed trolls! I’m guessing since she’s a seller, they won’t do anything about that behavior.
I’ve been an admin and you are right – it is hard sometimes. My personal philosophy is that unless racist or personal insults are being flung, there’s no reason not to let it play out, but of course, that’s not my forum and I’m probably more liberal than most in that regard.
I do think it’s shitty to cut off my ability to respond to their accusations, which makes it look like I took my toys and ran off when that’s not the case.
BTW, I messaged Hyena, the OP, and she was very nice.
No, before they just banned me from the forum and I was still able to do other stuff. I was planning to go back later and buy corn poo soap for my little brother, heh. Guess not, huh?
Oh, I was also going to suggest as a constructive comment that people should be able to purchase things without signing up for an account and going through all the BS of looking for links in their email blah blah blah. That is a huge turn-off if you are doing a lot of shopping or are overly impatient. So Etsy peeps, since I know you are reading this – that’s my helpful comment for ya.
Runaway – Apparently Soapy Ho has been getting a lot of hate mail and shit from other Etsy sellers herself, so maybe she would be willing to work out an order with you off of Etsy somehow? Ya’ll could use Paypal. Cut out Etsy altogether.
Maybe Soapy’ll read this. Then again, maybe she won’t since the thread is now 200+ random posts long!
Just wasted 20 minutes reading that closed thread of people who care too much. Jebus, it’s all just for laughs, guys. Why get so upset that someone is making money for making me laugh.
But, back to the ‘bund; what are those 3 things that look like petrified squirrel brain bits?
Wow. I just came over here. So runaway, you WERE going to buy something! I stood up for regretsy in that thread saying that it does bring people to etsy who have never heard of etsy before – and pointed to your post. Then I guess you were booted off etsy, and someone told me you were a sock puppet.
Complete fuckery. I’ve been on etsy for years and I don’t get it at all. I don’t care HOW you hear about etsy – just give me your money! LOL
Seriously, though – sock puppet is the term for someone who has a legit account who opens up a secondary account for purposes of harassment or other nefarious measures. Troll is the term you want to be using. Admin *knows* we aren’t a secondary account (or all the same person, except for Stingray and I don’t think that’s any secret) by IP addresses – it’s quite easy.
And yes, I’m my own person – I even link to my (very quiet for the last week) blog here.
I read all 212 pages. *L* My ears were burning so I just HAD to come look!
I had to go to work after I posted in the April Winchell thread, so I missed all the pages after I posted. Guess I should go read them.
I have to say…it’s a sad sad day when a lawyer has a little brother in need of soap.

Runaway: screed this yesterday on a different thread:
Esty admin’s head is so far up it’s ass it can kiss it’s own tonsils. Wanna sell cookies from your kitchen without regard to federal food safety and shipping laws? Welcome! Wanna resell racist lawn signs from your trailer? Welcome (ok, I grant, that one’s a 1st amend. right, but still). Wanna mention a fair use free speech website that generates business for sellers? BLOCKED!…
Kamikaze-go-in Straight To Hell

…Meanwhile, if some functionally illiterate “vintage” clothing reseller wants to jump on the forums and viciously attack BUYERS, you know, the people who actually SPEND MONEY on Esty, that’s totally OK under the T.O.U.
Soapy Ho – Runaway wanted to buy some corn poo soap as a gift, but got booted off of the forums, for, well, nothing really, if you read it. Now she (he?) has no Etsy account. After that, I wouldn’t blame Runaway for not wanting to give Etsy any $. I thought maybe Runaway could buy the corn poo direct? (Again, not a sentence I ever thought I’d type.)
Re. Runaway getting banned from the forums: I get the feeling Etsy hasn’t a clue how to handle this Regretsy phenomenon and is reeling a bit. Hope you get your hands on some corny poo soap. (ew, grosssss)
Sock puppets are usually created to back up a poster with an unpopular opinion. For example, if I liked this “cumberband,” I could make some sock puppets to agree with me:
HH77: I like the cumberband. If I saw a guy wearing that I’d think it was totally hot.
HH77sockpuppet: ITA! It is awesome.
HH77sock#3: It’s a shame it’s a one-of-a-kind creation. If the seller had another one, I’d buy two!
HH77: Thanks, HH77sp! Glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s cool.

Sorry Pauldodo, I’m stuck in customs at East Midland Airport, the sniffy dogs found several questionable stems and seeds between the keys of my Hammond B-3.
I wanna play…been hunting, just now catching up on regretsy addiction…
I play the fisher price keyboard like no other, and the flute..
but not simultaneously,
so, you may not consider that talent..however, I can back up sing…alto
Thanks!!! I am sitting here after 12 hours of working putting up some new soaps on my website. I just now thought to ask Killer if I could even do this! I put up my own little Regretsy section. I hope she sees this message or my email before I’m finished. *L*
You guys seriously…you are all wayyy too much fun. I don’t care what anyone says!
Ya’ wan’ $15 fer tha’ wee pooppet, laddie?! I go’ a fookin’ trouser sock of me own! I ca’ glue a wee bit a’ felt to it fer 2 quid!! Cut yer price, fer fookssake!
#229 VGB: Well I WAS wearing the cumberband at LAX, but activists shouting “fur is murder!” splashed red paint on it. How’d they know that lil’ tuft of orange fur was real mink? At least they didn’t ruin my bald eagle hat or my astrid spats.
Stingray, You shudda said…. I’ll cancel the room and wait for the nod from the rest of the band….
Kami- the Fisher Price thing should fit nicely in the band- as long as it’s filled with solidified rusk and has chewed keys. Oh, and the battery compartment lid’s gone.
If you roll it up and keep it in a leather satchel, you could take it to parties. Tell people that you are a shaman, take out your cumberband, unroll it and pretend you are casting spells/curing people with the elements of nature by rubbing the nut, and kissing the stone..or visa versa, depending on the spell or ailment you trying to cure…..
I’ll have to jump up and down, then, seeing as I apparently ate the cowbell. FWIW, I looked for decorative cowbells on Etsy, but they are an as-yet untapped product idea. I’m thinking OOAK whimsicle holiday-themed squirrel sparkly twilight vagoo cowbells?
You forgot to add the Cat’s mustache and the Scorpion leg, You Idiot.
By the way: I was sure the next thinf after the long description will be: “Wear it and you will recive Power and Good frtune. I put a Spell on it.. Bla..bla..bla..)
ps. Thank God NO ONE will have something like this. Plase, make sure you will NOT create any of this shit soon.

November 21, 2009 at 11:14 am
Where’s the “dollie”? Or is it a dolly? I don’t see it. Maybe the seller had to take it off to go move a refrigerator.

BTW: Are you at all concerned that now that you have a book deal, people will flood etsy with crap just to get your attention?
November 21, 2009 at 11:43 am
And notice the attention to detail! The stitching is utterly divine!

That is a proverbial ‘Where’s Waldo?’ of awesome.
The more I look at it, the funnier it is. I just now noticed the CSI Miami baby wearing the Lil Kim nightshirt.
November 21, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Hermes- it’s the fish in a squirrel suit taxidermy that pauldodo linked. It might keep you up at night.
Come to think about it, what is up with crafts and squirrels?? We’ve had the squirrel blood, fish in a squirrel suit, and squirrel-in-a-vagina (combining 2 favorite themes). An Etsy search brings up over 180 pages of squirrel shit! (That’s just with squirrel spelled right–squirell and squirrell probably add more!) Geez, and I thought my dog was obsessed with squirrels…
November 21, 2009 at 3:54 pm
hammerhead77: I never noticed that…too funny!
November 21, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I wished for the Flavor Flav vagina and it miraculously somehow, by the grace of all things awesome and kickass at photoshop, came true..
so now I will close my eyes and wish for the CSI Miami baby to be riding a squirrel..
okay, making wish now
November 21, 2009 at 4:05 pm
pauldodo, has anyone ever told you that you look like edward norton?
just sayin…
November 21, 2009 at 4:07 pm
“This looks like the crap you find in your pockets after you go camping.”
CAMPING?!
Really now? I try not to judge; still, Helen seems the kind of woman whose idea of roughing it is a hotel without a day spa.
Not that I didn’t snort when I read it. Or maybe shortly before I read it.
November 21, 2009 at 4:07 pm
That may take a little while, but I think it could be arranged.
Would you prefer that it ride the fish in a squirrel suit or the bleeding squirrel on the front page? I may also have to add Sarah Palin in there, just for the helluvit.
November 21, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Kimmer-G: edward norton should be so lucky. just sayin…
November 21, 2009 at 4:09 pm
CSI Miami baby riding a squirrel off into a gleaming vagina setting-sun
(I’m with Kimmer, I can def. see Edward Norton)
November 21, 2009 at 4:11 pm
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
oh hell yes!
I was typing that before I read that my wish was going to come true (you are a badass)
November 21, 2009 at 4:14 pm
I was thinking just regular squirrel, but then the thought of the fish in the squirrel suit being saddled up by the CSI Miami baby is funny as all hell.
Sarah Palin.
I think I might die of happy.
November 21, 2009 at 4:16 pm
From reading the other Regretsy pages, I actually do know of a seller who probably has crafted a vagina that looks like a sunset. If not, she’ll make you one! [*cough* http://www.etsy.com/shop/WomanInBloom *cough*]
November 21, 2009 at 4:29 pm
haha, hammerhead yes! Well played! Why am I not surprised?
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30135571
is it me or does that one look like what would happen if Darth Vader got his head squished in between a set of vice grips until one of his eyeballs popped out
November 21, 2009 at 4:37 pm
If you want real fun look at her sold items, too. That’s where I found the one I needed for the sunset

That would mean that there are some out there that have owls, and flowers and such as part of their delicate anatomy.

haha. I started to notice that too. I was looking at it more closely and then saw the spider, and then remembered those creepy NatGeo ‘I survived a poisonous spider bite’

November 22, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Bloody hell, Kamikaze- what the heck sort of shop is THAT?! I mean, did you read her “profile”- sheesh….!! Everything else is $99 and this vag doll (and I think my eyes may have started to bleed if I’d looked at it any longer) for $1? Come on. At least TRY to convince us.
I am thinking that Regretsy actually needs to move away from the clinically insane and the trying too hard and concentrate on the just REALLY BAD ARTS AND CRAFTS. It is often so much funnier, and Helen’s comments…
November 22, 2009 at 1:39 pm
…are the best. Couldn’t agree more. Helen, of course, didn’t find (or at least didn’t use) this, we her minions did, hammerhead77 specifically. Don’t know if you read any Esty forums, but the book announcement unleashed a shit storm in both directions, with some sellers swearing to get their stuff noticed by Regretsy; then this. You get that she took another Esty artist’s work featured here and altered it yes? I am, in all ways, in complete agreement with you.
November 22, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Alternately, she’s a brilliant Regretsy devotee determined to seriously fuck with Etsy, which elevates her from clinical insane to potential martyr.
November 22, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Not sure I had seen the original piece she altered- mighT have missed it. But what happens when someone ACTUALLY buys this and sends her a photo LOL?!! How’d she like DEM APPLES? Can’t follow through on the sale because oh, it was a joke and BAM- busted!

November 22, 2009 at 6:54 pm
No need for all the crediting, Kimikaze. I just stumbled upon it.
I think I had a different reaction to that vagina doll thing. I thought it was funny as hell just on a wacko, sending up Etsy level. It reminded me of the vagina on a vagina that someone made. I don’t think that vag doll is anywhere close to bookworthy, if that was the seller’s intention. In fact, the vag doll thing would probably have been better posted in a comment thread over here. Save the $ on the Etsy listing!

Yeah…hang on.
November 22, 2009 at 7:01 pm

So, haven’t read and followed the whole thread, but I’m guessing that, perhaps, Etsy can see/deduce your involvement with Regretsy, Runaway, can see that you are not an Etsy seller, and blocked/removed your account. And apparently there were other “sock puppets” that he/they removed at the same time. Censorship, even against those like you who were trying to point out the benefit of Regretsy to Etsy sellers. Really scary.
November 22, 2009 at 7:33 pm

Kimmer-G, you may be too late. The Runaway Lawyer may have already swallowed all the cowbells (back at comment #179).
November 22, 2009 at 7:41 pm
They know I’m not a seller because I told them. I was intending to become a genuine buyer.
And, JFTR, they are totally using the term sock puppet incorrectly. If anything I am a troll, and frankly, even that is reaching.

November 22, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Anyone else here moderated a forum before? It can be a tough balancing act, but the modding in those Etsy forums is pretty much a standing example of what not to do as far as I’m concerned. The mods are passive-aggressive. When everything goes haywire they come in and shut the thread down. Why not give a warning when the thread is opened that everyone needs to be civil and play nicely (including the Etsy posters!!) or it’ll get closed?? Give a warning or two if things get heated.
November 22, 2009 at 8:04 pm
(cont’d) Then, if nobody listens to warnings, shut the thread down! The mods there are also inconsistent. It’s perfectly OK to call out other posters, but it’s not OK to call out other sellers? How does that make sense?? The regular posters, esp. sellers, in those forums clearly seem to be shown favoritism. Just reading that forum as an outsider, that winks girl is clearly feeding & goading the supposed trolls! I’m guessing since she’s a seller, they won’t do anything about that behavior.
November 22, 2009 at 8:05 pm
I’ve been an admin and you are right – it is hard sometimes. My personal philosophy is that unless racist or personal insults are being flung, there’s no reason not to let it play out, but of course, that’s not my forum and I’m probably more liberal than most in that regard.
I do think it’s shitty to cut off my ability to respond to their accusations, which makes it look like I took my toys and ran off when that’s not the case.
BTW, I messaged Hyena, the OP, and she was very nice.

November 22, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Runaway – Apparently Soapy Ho has been getting a lot of hate mail and shit from other Etsy sellers herself, so maybe she would be willing to work out an order with you off of Etsy somehow? Ya’ll could use Paypal. Cut out Etsy altogether.

Runaway Lawyer: Sorry to hear that Etsy deactivated your account. If it’s any consolation, I’ve lost 5-6 accounts this week. But I deserve it, I’m an asshole.

Just wasted 20 minutes reading that closed thread of people who care too much. Jebus, it’s all just for laughs, guys. Why get so upset that someone is making money for making me laugh.
But, back to the ‘bund; what are those 3 things that look like petrified squirrel brain bits?
November 22, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Good morning- ah, the cowbell players have arrived- oh, and an opera singer- can you sing scat, Kimmer-g?
Way to go, Runaway, you’ll get us all a bad reputation….:)
Thanks!

Wow. I just came over here. So runaway, you WERE going to buy something! I stood up for regretsy in that thread saying that it does bring people to etsy who have never heard of etsy before – and pointed to your post. Then I guess you were booted off etsy, and someone told me you were a sock puppet.
Complete fuckery. I’ve been on etsy for years and I don’t get it at all. I don’t care HOW you hear about etsy – just give me your money! LOL
I really don’t get why they’d boot you…
November 23, 2009 at 6:33 am
Whimsicle fuckery, indeed.
Seriously, though – sock puppet is the term for someone who has a legit account who opens up a secondary account for purposes of harassment or other nefarious measures. Troll is the term you want to be using. Admin *knows* we aren’t a secondary account (or all the same person, except for Stingray and I don’t think that’s any secret) by IP addresses – it’s quite easy.
And yes, I’m my own person – I even link to my (very quiet for the last week) blog here.
November 23, 2009 at 6:36 am
I read all 212 pages. *L* My ears were burning so I just HAD to come look!
I had to go to work after I posted in the April Winchell thread, so I missed all the pages after I posted. Guess I should go read them.
I have to say…it’s a sad sad day when a lawyer has a little brother in need of soap.
November 23, 2009 at 6:38 am
Sorry ’bout that, Monstrosa. If I could get your time back, I’d probably try to recoup the 3 years of grad school I’m not using.

Runaway: screed this yesterday on a different thread:
Esty admin’s head is so far up it’s ass it can kiss it’s own tonsils. Wanna sell cookies from your kitchen without regard to federal food safety and shipping laws? Welcome! Wanna resell racist lawn signs from your trailer? Welcome (ok, I grant, that one’s a 1st amend. right, but still). Wanna mention a fair use free speech website that generates business for sellers? BLOCKED!…
November 23, 2009 at 6:54 am
…Meanwhile, if some functionally illiterate “vintage” clothing reseller wants to jump on the forums and viciously attack BUYERS, you know, the people who actually SPEND MONEY on Esty, that’s totally OK under the T.O.U.
November 23, 2009 at 6:55 am
It really is unfathomable. Sellers should be up in arms.
November 23, 2009 at 7:44 am
Soapy Ho – Runaway wanted to buy some corn poo soap as a gift, but got booted off of the forums, for, well, nothing really, if you read it. Now she (he?) has no Etsy account. After that, I wouldn’t blame Runaway for not wanting to give Etsy any $. I thought maybe Runaway could buy the corn poo direct? (Again, not a sentence I ever thought I’d type.)
November 23, 2009 at 7:56 am
Oh god. I’m away from the ‘puter for 3 days and look what happens. WTF is a cumberband? Or maybe this seller is a complete idiot.
Ideas should never come to her. I’m gonna have a discussion with “ideas” so that this never happens again.

or a click on Soapy Ho’s name anywhere in the threads.

Re. Runaway getting banned from the forums: I get the feeling Etsy hasn’t a clue how to handle this Regretsy phenomenon and is reeling a bit. Hope you get your hands on some corny poo soap. (ew, grosssss)
November 23, 2009 at 8:11 am
Stingray! I’m flattered? Frightened? No one can read my Poker Face. Thank you.
November 23, 2009 at 8:11 am
Sock puppets are usually created to back up a poster with an unpopular opinion. For example, if I liked this “cumberband,” I could make some sock puppets to agree with me:
HH77: I like the cumberband. If I saw a guy wearing that I’d think it was totally hot.
HH77sockpuppet: ITA! It is awesome.
HH77sock#3: It’s a shame it’s a one-of-a-kind creation. If the seller had another one, I’d buy two!
HH77: Thanks, HH77sp! Glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s cool.

Thanks!!! I am sitting here after 12 hours of working putting up some new soaps on my website. I just now thought to ask Killer if I could even do this! I put up my own little Regretsy section. I hope she sees this message or my email before I’m finished. *L*
You guys seriously…you are all wayyy too much fun. I don’t care what anyone says!

Incidentally, there actually are some cute sock puppets for sale on Etsy
I am very tempted by this Scottish one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28492758
but it’s a bit expensive for what it is.
Ya’ wan’ $15 fer tha’ wee pooppet, laddie?! I go’ a fookin’ trouser sock of me own! I ca’ glue a wee bit a’ felt to it fer 2 quid!! Cut yer price, fer fookssake!

#229 VGB: Well I WAS wearing the cumberband at LAX, but activists shouting “fur is murder!” splashed red paint on it. How’d they know that lil’ tuft of orange fur was real mink? At least they didn’t ruin my bald eagle hat or my astrid spats.
November 23, 2009 at 8:54 am
I’d like to add….in the description;the seller used “dangly” and “nut”……

IF you would have been wearing the vag necklace…you would have had no problems…would’ve slid you right thru security
November 23, 2009 at 8:57 am
I’m home again….
Stingray, You shudda said…. I’ll cancel the room and wait for the nod from the rest of the band….
Kami- the Fisher Price thing should fit nicely in the band- as long as it’s filled with solidified rusk and has chewed keys. Oh, and the battery compartment lid’s gone.
Just sayin’

If you roll it up and keep it in a leather satchel, you could take it to parties. Tell people that you are a shaman, take out your cumberband, unroll it and pretend you are casting spells/curing people with the elements of nature by rubbing the nut, and kissing the stone..or visa versa, depending on the spell or ailment you trying to cure…..

I still can’t believe the banning. That’s too stupid.
Here’s a cute sock puppet portrait to cheer you up: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21692509
It’s sold. There are more, but this one’s the best.
November 23, 2009 at 5:24 pm
I’ll have to jump up and down, then, seeing as I apparently ate the cowbell. FWIW, I looked for decorative cowbells on Etsy, but they are an as-yet untapped product idea. I’m thinking OOAK whimsicle holiday-themed squirrel sparkly twilight vagoo cowbells?

You forgot to add the Cat’s mustache and the Scorpion leg, You Idiot.
By the way: I was sure the next thinf after the long description will be: “Wear it and you will recive Power and Good frtune. I put a Spell on it.. Bla..bla..bla..)
ps. Thank God NO ONE will have something like this. Plase, make sure you will NOT create any of this shit soon.
