SOLD!
This premium domain sold last night to the mysterious “Jody”, for a staggering $67. I’m sure we all look forward to sending emails of congratulations to whimsiclefuckery@bleedingsquirrels.com.
As promised, the money will go to an Etsy seller, who I’ve already chosen via Alchemy. She’ll be making toys for us to donate to Toys for Tots.
When the seller confirms, I’ll post the details. Her offer was very generous, and I think it will make some kids pretty happy.
November 21, 2009 at 2:18 pm
OH! Helen. oh. that’s wonderful. Toys For Tots? Would it be appropriate to link to the site? They accept donations online. A great charity choice.
November 21, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Good idea about the link. I added it to the post.
November 21, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Toys for Tots. No capital F. moron.
November 21, 2009 at 2:22 pm
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.

That call out rule is so ridiculous. So many hags are laying in wait to jump on any poster and screAm at them for CALLING OUT.
November 21, 2009 at 2:48 pm
…don’t ask me why I have a capitol A in “scream”. I have no idea.
November 21, 2009 at 2:53 pm
It’s a wonder they have time to make cowls.
November 21, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I apparently need coffee, because I read that as “time to make cows”. Which, as we know, is basically the province of OTHER cows. And that made me laugh.
November 21, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Oh and ps: Yay for charity! Good on ya, Helen and all the bidders!
November 21, 2009 at 3:19 pm
BWHAHA! this is awesome Helen.
yea it is a wonder any admins have time for any cowls or to make owls while watching for calling out.. Perhaps they need to go out……. have a drink, maybe some fun.
In the words of the Joker “Why soo seriousss?!?”
November 21, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I really did think Helen was secretly Esty admin.
Really.
I’m fine pauldodo,only slapped myself. Again.

I love this idea! But I wanted to caution, I don’t think toys for tots in my area takes handmade gifts. They only take new store bought toys still in the package. I hope that they will accept them, but you might want to check on it. If not, perhaps it would be a great opportunity for an adopt a family or something.
I hope you don’t think I’m a douche for mentioning that. =) I’d just hate to have such a good idea turned down.
November 21, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Congrats to the mysterious Jody, and to Helen for raising some money for a great cause! So when is drippingglasspenis.com going to go up for auction? ;P
November 21, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Wait, one cotton picking moment…. April Winchell is Helen Killer?!?? I saw a video of her as “Sheila Sands” back in 2002 when I was performing as a cruise ship singer and I have been trying to find a copy of that video ever since because it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen!
I knew I liked you!!

as an Etsy seller, I’m kinda hoping my stuff does get picked for Regretsy…there’s more publicity from this site than Etsy.

Some asshole will go suck up the good domain names like whimsiclefuckery.com and drippingglasspenis.com now to screw with us.
Am I the only one slightly concerned that Kamikaze had an argument with him or herself up there? Don’t let the bastards get you down Kamikaze lol.

And do you know what?
I have now started to work “whimsicle fuckery” into everyday conversations.
November 21, 2009 at 11:12 pm
whimsicle and fuckery should be added to the urban slang dictionary.. no really.. someone go do it
but first they need definitions LOL
November 22, 2009 at 12:36 am
There are 119 results when searching “whimsicle” on Etsy… epic
And Toys for Tots, very cool! It’s good to know that those squirrels didn’t die needlessly
November 22, 2009 at 1:46 am
If Toys for Tots won’t accept handmade toys, you could possibly auction the toys off on Regretsy and then donate the money to them instead.
November 22, 2009 at 2:21 am
#30- Great idea, cos then the ‘artists’ could be given their head, so to speak, and really ‘regretsify’ the toys- I have a few children in mind that could do with Etsy assisted nightmares….

Nice job, Helen, selling the domain. “Jody”, congratulations. Look forward to catching up with the latest in rodent phlebotomy there. (Glad it didn’t sell for exactly $2 more, for the sake of the kids.)

@#36- thanks, couldn’t've done it without big love from Kamikaze.

I couldn’t believe I was outbid at $50! Hooray for Jody. And #16moi is right – I volunteered at a Toys for Tots collection event once, and we were told to reject toys that weren’t in new packaging.
You should instruct the seller making the toys to put together a nice box and label, so the items get through.

Hooray for the Awaken Journaling ad! She’s even offering to make a custom vagina journal if you just really, really gotta have one. HEE!

November 22, 2009 at 9:37 am
Has anyone discovered this yet?? NSFW!:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35025395
I found it when I ran a search for Regretsy on Etsy.
Be sure the read the description. I’m dying laughing over here…..
November 22, 2009 at 10:41 am
It’s not as much fun when they fake it, Hammerhead77. If you ask me, half the pleasure is found in a creator’s total unawareness of just how bad something really can be.
November 22, 2009 at 11:03 am
I guess my mileage varies. I didn’t view that as “faking it” so much as sending-up the photo doll and all of the random vagina shit on Etsy. I didn’t take that item seriously at all. If she really honestly expects to sell those other than to other Regretsians, as a joke, I’d be surprised.
November 22, 2009 at 11:13 am
BTW, this is tagged regretsy for seemingly no reason:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35027054
Just a fan of the site? To get hits? I don’t know the story behind it, but if people were to start tagging things regretsy just to get hits, that would be kind of an annoying trend.
November 22, 2009 at 11:22 am
I don’t doubt it was meant as a joke, but it’s too heavy-handed for me to find it funny. Satire is generally not about piling on as many references to your subject as you can fit at once.
November 22, 2009 at 11:44 am
Hellen, can I suggest a new “no contest” contest?
Come up with an idea that you think no one would dare actually make and try to sell on Etsy, and then see if one of the Etsy readers actually does it?
Like ceramic plates with a vagina in the middle of the plate, so you get a surprise when you finish all your mashed potatoes for example…
November 22, 2009 at 11:46 am
“Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa can you find me in the night?
Papa are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?”
Hmmm…no new post….sellers with no understanding of fair use blatantly infringing…the banned word Regretsy used as a tag…
“Papa, can you help me not be frightened?”

BLOCKED!
November 22, 2009 at 12:31 pm
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 22, 2009 at 1:41 pm
FWIW, most of the stuff that comes up on Etsy when you run “regretsy” through the search engine is stuff that’s *already* been featured here — the corn poo soap, the Mittens painting, etc.
cvzdesign- About half the time when I try to come up with an idea that nobody would dare actually make and try to sell on Etsy, I discover that someone IS ALREADY MAKING IT & SELLING IT ON ETSY!! :/
November 22, 2009 at 1:45 pm
It’s like porn hammerhead77, if you can imagine it, it’s available on DVD.
November 22, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Having just seen a Twilight-themed sparkly cock soap (and a poorly-made one at that) with accompanying sparkly twat soap, I concur — things you never thought anyone would think of are out there. . .and someone will probably buy them.
Here — suffer ‘the beautiful, cold, dead, sparkly flesh of ancient hotties’ with me:

Case in point:
This seller makes a Marie Antoinette vag:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=18571268
Really, who would have thought this was out there?
I could then commission a Louis XVI penis creation from the glass penis guy.
Toy guillotines are a dime a dozen. I can get one of those easily. If not, the burning building toy guy would probably make me one.
Wah-lah! I now have everything I need to recreate the French Revolution in genitalia. Aux armes,…

Great cause, fab website name, congrat’s to the winner! And thrilled it goes to toys for tots!
On to other things, maybe I’m getting to used to seeing polymer clay vagina’s but that Marie Antoinette was damn pretty! She really makes some nice vag necklaces in her shop. Not that I’m ever wearing one mind you.
And on another note. WTF does a certain yo…..koo….get endless fricken front pages? Who does she service over at Etsy admin to get so much adoration?
November 22, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Yeah I know that was an illegal call out and I should be shunned mightily. I’m sure there are a few in agreement with me here that the front page of Etsy some days feels like a radio station, it’s like they’ve formulated a playlist of what they’ll put up. Ugh.
November 22, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Case in point, here is the list of front pages recently held by said seller:
http://www.craftcult.com/vault.php?fm=2&esn=yokoo&m=11&st=2&d=22
Note basically a couple/few times every week, and that many are created by Etsy admin. So lame.
Just using this particular seller as an example.

November 22, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Can’t you pay to get on the front page of sites like Etsy?? I think that’s true of Ebay. If you pay out the nose they’ll put your auction on the front page for awhile. Anybody know about Etsy?
Also, I’m going to take a cue from this seller:
http://www.regretsy.com/2009/10/15/super/
and make a legion of bloodthirsty (heh) little French revolutionaries by putting googly eyes on tampons. They’ll be my Jac-o.b.-ins!

November 22, 2009 at 10:11 pm
The vagina pendants are actually pretty. I just wish they weren’t.. vaginas *sigh* again.. If I was wearing a hairy sparkly penis would they think the same thing? (never mind don’t answer that theyd probably think it was edwards) vagina’s are not a fashion statement.
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=19368755 i think an etsy admin bought this one
