You could always buy the cans and NOT get the shot. Then, when the raging infection causes you to lose an arm, make sure the doctors let you keep it. Glue some gears to it, maybe a saw blade to the palm, and BONUS! you can sell it on Etsy for at LEAST 100k. Handmade and everything.
They made me think of the last time I got a tetanus booster. Who knew I’d developed an allergy? Came out with an arm like a bruised sausage; lasted for a week.
“Vaginasicle” may very well be my new favorite word. I can’t wait to yell it near the McDonald’s playland and hear the chorus of young voices repeating it to their parents…
I was worried, ‘cuz I didn’t see the barnwood at first and I thought it was just some rusty crap someone was trying to sell. Then I noticed there was barnwood and I was like “hell yeah! I need me some rusty cans!”
This is the original “recycle” program. Selling your old, rusty shit for fresh, new money. Damn these Etsy entrepeneurs. They are so much smarter than us!
There’s three of them! And look how creatively they were opened!!! I must have them. They’ll look fabulous in my garage’s up-cycled barn wood mantelpiece with Photoshopped wheat straws.
I might get a tetanus shot just for the privilege of being able to slice open a finger while hot gluing a mustache and a pantyliner to one of these babies. Then declaring it a one-of-a-kind sculpture and selling it for $6,000.
And I keep thinking bout this…(Sorry for the man posts..)..
Here’s the deal. If it were the photograph of the cans for sale..well..it would just be photography, and given it has no pubic hair balled into doorframes or Hall’s cough drop wrappers crushed into carpet…I can’t call it ugly.
But we have someone who sees the beauty in the object, and instead of photographing or painting the object, which could actually be lovely..
She wants to wrap the bits in a box and send them to you..
….for you to paint or photograph..I am guessing she is thinking.
Yes. I think that’s it. I think that might be the thought process behind it.
Strangely..This does not lessen my desire to smack her.
Nah, they’d escape through the holes, then you’d have to chase them around and pull them off of the humans with the shouting and the yelling and the NY-LON /frink
Did this person think, you know, I could probably get $15 for these awesome, though admittedly worn and rusty cans. Awww, who am I kidding. One of them has almost no holes. I’d better discount that one.
Is that how the seller arrived at the puzzling price of $13.75?
I just happen to have 3 vintage nails that would be perfect for ocular puncturing. Custom bent and pre-patinaed with rust, I’ll sell them all to your for only $9.95 + $11.00 S/H.
The worst part of this is that I worked last summer documenting “historical archaeological sites” on a national forest. In other words, tin can dumps left by loggers more than 50 years ago.
All I can think is, this bitch probably violated some registered historical archeological site to get these. And I kind of want to report her to the feds.
Oh, Regretsy, every day you kill just a little bit more of my hope in humanity. I cannot believe people are really this stupid. But they are. Yes, it’s real.
Isn’t this the same seller as the mossy shoe? I could swear I’ve seen this shit before. Or maybe the feather/spoon gal? Who wouldn’t want rusty cans, anyway?
I thought it was the same seller as the one who wants $145 for the “vintage” garbage can with “farm hands gathering around for a cool dink”, but no, they’re different. This one’s shop has the idiotic name “Zebras and Bubblegum”. Funny, looking at their other items made me think the name should be Goodwill. Or Salvation Army. Then again, their stuff isn’t nearly so overpriced.
It’s amazing what I’ve learned from Regretsy posts. If I add vintage, retro, or up-cycled to a product description, it somehow becomes more desirable. The application of this knowledge to my own business must mean big bucks!
If anyone is interested in some vintage insurance for their retro autos or up-cycled home, please give me a call for a free antediluvian quote!
God, this makes me so sad. Because as a consumer, this is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen somebody try to sell.
What the hell do you do with these? Sit them on the bookshelf as hobo objects d’art, and let the rust add subtle nuances of camping to your home decor? Try dusting them – the tetanus is an design feature!
When I was a kid, we lived across from the rail road tracks, and it wasn’t unusual to find shit that hobos had thrown out of the cars while passing through.
My mother always told me not to touch it, because she said they used the empty cans as ashtrays and spittoons.
I used to work at a woodsy place that had an old dump. There was an old boot. There were rusty cans. THERE WERE MASON JARS. Old car bits, old oil barrels, rusty bedsprings. A fridge.
Oh my god! I am the face behind this listing and this post makes me BEYOND happy! I thought *maybe* these cans would make it to the coveted pages of Regretsy (my husband thought they might, too), but am still shocked to see them here.
Tidbit: I did pay for these cans at a local flea market. Promise I didn’t pick them up along the high way.
I dunno, the fact that this was picked specifically for Regretsy makes me sad. Manufactured Fuckery is worse than being clueless about selling rusty cans.
You bought rusted cans.
Picking them up on the side of the road is just crazy talk.
I know you’ll want to protect the value of your investment. What if something should happen to the cans before they sell? Think about it, over the years the value of these cans have increased a hundred fold.
And what if the unfortunate should happen and you should pass away? The death of an artist almost always guarantees an increase in the value of their art. You would want Mr. Zebrasandbubblegum to be protected, wouldn’t you? How much is his life and your art really worth to you?
For a only a few dollars a month, I can provide you with the insurance protection you need to cover yourself in the event of a loss. Remember, you’re not just protecting an investment, you’re buying peace of mind.
Lady, I don’t know what those cans are sitting on, but that is NOT barn wood and I would appreciate if you took this listing down immediately until you go find some barn wood to do those poor cans justice, you hack!
I guess this just goes to show that you can sell anything on Etsy.
Throw a doily in the cat box, let your cat do its thing, put it up on Etsy as “Vintage Reprocessed Feline Nutritional Chunks” Great for children or a birthday gift for Grandma.
It’s funny how camping trips dubbed from a ‘long long ago’ can achieve such a romantic sentiment.
Frankly, I don’t think people from the Great Depression were living outside in tents and eating from rusty cans just because they thought it was fun to do.
Wait. They’re selling three rusty cans? Not a photo of three rusty cans?
I need more information.
Will we be charged extra for the lockjaw, or is it included in the price?
Is antibiotic ointment included, or are infections considered part of the transaction?
What fine “vintage treasures” will be offered next?
The “Trio” part makes me think they must be a musical act. Wheatie Wheaterson and the Busted Cans. I would buy that, little supposedly inanimate objects that sang old timey barbershop tunes, their voices slowly decaying as the rust flaked off… Fuckin’ whimsicle.
I didn’t want to register, but you made me because I can’t be satisfied until I see what you’ve got hidden under that “members only” link. But apparently my new registration doesn’t work so I *still* can’t see the hidden whimsicality.
Do I need to have some sort of comment approved by the moderator or something?
Okay, fine. This is the comment. My very first comment on this site and it’s going to get downthumbed until it vanishes because it’s completely off topic and whiny. And now I’m going to be sad and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT.
I think I need to go buy a picture of a dinosaur devouring Helen Killer from this guy.
Why the crap can’t I see that new member’s only post up there? I’m signed in and entered my password and its still a no-go. Any advice here? Or is HK just screwing with my head?
Haha, I figured it out. And yes, that was my first failed attempt at humor here on Regretsy.
Just FYI, I wrote a paper analyzing the “unique” octopi using Walter Benjamin’s essay “Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” for my college English class a few weeks ago! (I meant to email you, but never got around to it…)
Really Hobo Chic? I have read all of the posts on this site and have decided to buy a glue gun and pick shit up off the side of the road, Attach it to barn wood, take a photo and sell it on etsy. Oh wait I think thats been done. I’m off to find some unique steam punk junk.
This photo is just a great example of what I always thought about Etsy. It doesn’t matter what you’re selling, as long as you have a great photo. Crap like this gets put on the front page all of the time just because somebody is a good photographer. I never buy crap from the front page because of this. I look for good stuff, not good photos. Yeah, I’ll be laughing when this makes the front page, but I won’t be at all surprised.
March 15, 2011 at 7:39 pm
I have some aged moldy peas that need these!
March 16, 2011 at 4:10 am
I think you mean vintage peas.
March 15, 2011 at 7:40 pm
BARN WOOD!!
March 15, 2011 at 7:44 pm
I was coming to say that.
Well played!
March 15, 2011 at 7:46 pm
and stucco
March 15, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Makes me think I need my Tetenus shot…I’m due

March 15, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Dear heavens no. We’ve seen enough examples of one-handed crafting this weekend.
March 15, 2011 at 11:36 pm
hand made? or made of hand?
March 16, 2011 at 7:49 pm
that would have to be steampunk!!!
March 15, 2011 at 8:12 pm
I think just looking too long at the picture could cause lockjaw.
Exactly how do they ship this so it can be opened safely? That’s what I’m really curious about.
March 16, 2011 at 9:36 am
They made me think of the last time I got a tetanus booster. Who knew I’d developed an allergy? Came out with an arm like a bruised sausage; lasted for a week.
March 15, 2011 at 7:42 pm
I can feel the tetanus from here…
March 15, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Makes me think someone is trying way to hard to be “artsy”.
Oh wait, it’s from etsy. Home of people who try to hard to be “artsy”. Never mind.

Those would make great earrings…
March 15, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Use the third to make a fascinator.
March 15, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Oh. Well, that’s disappointing. I was thinking clit ring. I suck at crafts.
March 15, 2011 at 9:19 pm
I’m sure one of these vaginasicle sculpturesses on Etsy would be happy to make you a third ear.
March 15, 2011 at 9:27 pm
“Vaginasicle” may very well be my new favorite word. I can’t wait to yell it near the McDonald’s playland and hear the chorus of young voices repeating it to their parents…
March 15, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Is the wheat sold separately?
March 15, 2011 at 7:45 pm
They need some pretty sparkles or lace!
March 15, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Just add “steampunk.” That shit will sell like hotcakes!

Darn – you beat me to the steampunk joke!
March 15, 2011 at 7:45 pm
What about the stucco? Is that the new barn wood?
March 15, 2011 at 7:45 pm
I think it’s the wheat that really classes it up.
March 16, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Needs glitter.
March 15, 2011 at 7:46 pm
I don’t even think hobos collecting cans want them.
March 15, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Aw, somebody give them a home! Only $13.75…
March 15, 2011 at 9:32 pm
…plus $8 shipping.
I think this constitutes hazardous waste.
March 16, 2011 at 9:21 am
but they are hand stressed! the person who is selling this had to sit there for 30 years pouring salt water over them!
March 15, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Well, when I think “camping trips,” I do think “getting lockjaw from some self-absorbed asshole’s trash.”
March 16, 2011 at 10:28 am
Really? When I think camping I think “inbred redneck rapists with guns surrounding the tent”.
March 15, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I was worried, ‘cuz I didn’t see the barnwood at first and I thought it was just some rusty crap someone was trying to sell. Then I noticed there was barnwood and I was like “hell yeah! I need me some rusty cans!”
March 15, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Your post is seriously the funniest thing I have read all WEEK!
March 15, 2011 at 10:31 pm
barn wood is like the equivalent of online shopping hypnotism
March 15, 2011 at 7:48 pm
barn wood, rusty cans, dried wheat, and stucco. the only problem with this picture is the lack of fuzzy focus. this artist has no concept of art
March 15, 2011 at 7:49 pm
This is the original “recycle” program. Selling your old, rusty shit for fresh, new money. Damn these Etsy entrepeneurs. They are so much smarter than us!

With a little glitter and tulle, they’d make outstanding fascinators.
March 15, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Just the things to use as dippers from that rusty garbage can full of your bajingo wash, hillbilly or otherwise.
What does not kill you makes you stronger, right?
March 15, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Excellent. I was wondering where to put my inccubus.
March 15, 2011 at 7:51 pm
There’s three of them! And look how creatively they were opened!!! I must have them. They’ll look fabulous in my garage’s up-cycled barn wood mantelpiece with Photoshopped wheat straws.
March 15, 2011 at 7:52 pm
I …I almost want to say I admire their chutzpah. I mean, it really takes balls to attempt to sell these.
But then I come to my senses…and just want to smack her instead.
March 15, 2011 at 7:52 pm
“Just add “steampunk.” That shit will sell like hotcakes!
”
Sad Hipster Steampunk!
March 15, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Whoa, we’re declaring stucco the new barnwood already?
Obviously this picture suggests the two can peacefully coexist.
March 15, 2011 at 7:53 pm
all it needs it troll hair, a rusty gear, googly eyes and a moustache.
March 15, 2011 at 9:31 pm
*grabs hot glue gun*
March 15, 2011 at 7:55 pm
The wheat just seals the deal for me, although I envision my fingers poking through that rust…yup, definitely tetnus.
March 15, 2011 at 7:57 pm
I might get a tetanus shot just for the privilege of being able to slice open a finger while hot gluing a mustache and a pantyliner to one of these babies. Then declaring it a one-of-a-kind sculpture and selling it for $6,000.
March 15, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Fuck, add a petrified animal part to it and I’ll give you $6,500.
March 15, 2011 at 7:56 pm
So I’m not the only one who makes sure I have plenty of rusty useless things with me when I go camping? Good.
March 15, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Heh. Exactly. I personally have never camped in a landfill, but maybe it’s the new ironically ugly.
March 15, 2011 at 7:56 pm
Oh…that’s 13.75 plus shipping, y’all, so that’s $20.75, plus whatever for the shots you will need.
March 15, 2011 at 7:59 pm
But think of the joy and color-changing fun you will have as your gangrenous limbs rot and fall off… That is TOTALLY worth the shipping and handling!
March 15, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Especially once you replace your arm with a mechanical steampunk one!
March 15, 2011 at 8:03 pm
And I keep thinking bout this…(Sorry for the man posts..)..
Here’s the deal. If it were the photograph of the cans for sale..well..it would just be photography, and given it has no pubic hair balled into doorframes or Hall’s cough drop wrappers crushed into carpet…I can’t call it ugly.
But we have someone who sees the beauty in the object, and instead of photographing or painting the object, which could actually be lovely..
She wants to wrap the bits in a box and send them to you..
….for you to paint or photograph..I am guessing she is thinking.
Yes. I think that’s it. I think that might be the thought process behind it.
Strangely..This does not lessen my desire to smack her.
March 15, 2011 at 8:04 pm
May posts..not man posts.
Damn martini.

And the may posts. (Hey, get in early before the Easter rush!)
And i wish you many more martini posts (Hey, stirred NOT shaken!)
March 16, 2011 at 4:25 am
We should get some kind of polymer clay token of blitheriness for chain-flubs like these.
I’d turn my tokens into jewelry. Lots and lots of jewelry.
March 16, 2011 at 12:52 am
$20.75 if you’re in the US. Outside the US & Canada, the total would be $30.75!
March 15, 2011 at 7:58 pm
I like how only the background is in focus. Macro lens, anyone?
March 15, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Not much good for bees, but promising for incubi.
Or succubi, fir that matter.
March 15, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Mason jars were so five minutes ago.
March 15, 2011 at 8:05 pm
Nah, they’d escape through the holes, then you’d have to chase them around and pull them off of the humans with the shouting and the yelling and the NY-LON /frink
March 15, 2011 at 9:54 pm
The thing about magicle fuckery is that it’s invisible, so you just magick over them holes real good and the succubi and incubi cain’t get out.
Aesthetic patination preserved demons contained for your personal smoking pleasure.

This just made me think of Fallout 3. And all the rusty cans scattered throughout that game.
March 16, 2011 at 8:30 am
I heart Fallout 3
March 15, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Wow she’s right… this brings me right back to those care free days of YMCA summer camp.
Matter of fact, here’s a picture of me and my scout troop back in the good old days;

Did this person think, you know, I could probably get $15 for these awesome, though admittedly worn and rusty cans. Awww, who am I kidding. One of them has almost no holes. I’d better discount that one.
Is that how the seller arrived at the puzzling price of $13.75?
March 15, 2011 at 8:06 pm
$10 for tetanus risk
$3 for photo time
$.75 for wheat?
March 15, 2011 at 8:33 pm
Knowing that you paid that much for someone else’s trash off etsy-
Priceless.
March 15, 2011 at 8:04 pm
This makes me want stab someone in the eye with a rusty nail. I wonder if the seller can list one.
March 15, 2011 at 8:26 pm
I just happen to have 3 vintage nails that would be perfect for ocular puncturing. Custom bent and pre-patinaed with rust, I’ll sell them all to your for only $9.95 + $11.00 S/H.
March 15, 2011 at 9:49 pm
there are some here, cheap:

Ugh. I just sighed. It’s all I have left.

1. Pick up trash down your local ally
2. Sell it on etsy
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!!
March 15, 2011 at 8:30 pm
So all I have to do is buy $0.50 cans of food, empty the contents out, and leave them in the backyard for a year or two? Then PROFIT!
March 15, 2011 at 8:30 pm
ok had almost the same thought at the same time as 38..

I wish I knew how to quit you.
March 15, 2011 at 10:02 pm
WIN!
March 15, 2011 at 8:39 pm
I wonder if the price reflects the vintage oil coagulated in them.
Thar’s BLACK GOLD in them thar cans!
March 15, 2011 at 8:45 pm
God, this makes me so sad. Because as a consumer, this is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen somebody try to sell.
What the hell do you do with these? Sit them on the bookshelf as hobo objects d’art, and let the rust add subtle nuances of camping to your home decor? Try dusting them – the tetanus is an design feature!
This seller should stick to lattes and cats.
March 15, 2011 at 8:48 pm
When I was a kid, we lived across from the rail road tracks, and it wasn’t unusual to find shit that hobos had thrown out of the cars while passing through.
My mother always told me not to touch it, because she said they used the empty cans as ashtrays and spittoons.
Turns out she was right.
March 15, 2011 at 8:51 pm
If I wanted to feature some old cans, I’d get my push-up bra and deep-v-neck sweater. They might look better with a bow, too….
March 15, 2011 at 8:56 pm
But my truly pressing question for this seller: Does it come with the bits of straw??? I’m not sure the whimsy is complete without them.
March 15, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Wow, does crap like this actually sell? I live in Brooklyn,the motherload of rusty crap, I could be a kazillionaire.
March 15, 2011 at 9:08 pm
Just remember, it’s not rust, it’s patina.
March 16, 2011 at 10:34 am
Right, my bad.
March 15, 2011 at 9:08 pm
I used to work at a woodsy place that had an old dump. There was an old boot. There were rusty cans. THERE WERE MASON JARS. Old car bits, old oil barrels, rusty bedsprings. A fridge.
If only I’d known.
March 15, 2011 at 9:11 pm
I swear if this shit sells I’m going to raid my parents’ barn of all things rusty. Regresty, what have you done to me?!
March 15, 2011 at 9:24 pm
We need an octopus crawling out of these cans. An octopus possessed by the spirit of my demon lover.
March 15, 2011 at 9:32 pm
But the octopus is going to need a hand-knit-from-vintage-shedded-cat-hair-yarn one-armed sweater…
March 15, 2011 at 10:48 pm
Octoglingers, like some horrible eighties dance-craze.
March 15, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Oh my god! I am the face behind this listing and this post makes me BEYOND happy! I thought *maybe* these cans would make it to the coveted pages of Regretsy (my husband thought they might, too), but am still shocked to see them here.

You bought rusted cans.
Picking them up on the side of the road is just crazy talk.
I know you’ll want to protect the value of your investment. What if something should happen to the cans before they sell? Think about it, over the years the value of these cans have increased a hundred fold.
And what if the unfortunate should happen and you should pass away? The death of an artist almost always guarantees an increase in the value of their art. You would want Mr. Zebrasandbubblegum to be protected, wouldn’t you? How much is his life and your art really worth to you?
For a only a few dollars a month, I can provide you with the insurance protection you need to cover yourself in the event of a loss. Remember, you’re not just protecting an investment, you’re buying peace of mind.

Yay for being awesome! xoxo

You truly are a good sport- but you paid for those? Really?
March 15, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Lady, I don’t know what those cans are sitting on, but that is NOT barn wood and I would appreciate if you took this listing down immediately until you go find some barn wood to do those poor cans justice, you hack!

There should be a 5th wedge for tetanus…

I like how she tries to pretty them up a bit with a big fat ugly tied ribbon in the other pictures.
March 15, 2011 at 10:28 pm
You can bet they are next in line to be the Featured Seller

Potential deluxe packaging for Bajingo/Moustache Wash.

I can’t figure out the top post. I’m supposed to enter my WP password and it will show me something. Well, it doesn’t!
March 16, 2011 at 12:44 am
Same here. Is this a trick? My curiosity is killing me!
March 16, 2011 at 12:47 am
Me too! Wasn’t there one like this a while back & the password was something like “fuckery”. Or something like that?
March 16, 2011 at 1:15 am
Aha! She posted what the password is on facebook. Not sure if I should post it here for all to see…
March 16, 2011 at 5:22 am
Yes, you bloody should post that password. I don’t have Facebook. And I’m not about to start letting people annoy me to water their crops.
March 16, 2011 at 6:00 am
I don’t have Facebook either. I refuse to engage in that deviltry.
But I want that damn password! AUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!
March 16, 2011 at 8:17 am
Got it….thanks for the FB hint..
March 16, 2011 at 12:45 am
I thought this was a sale of a picture… Oh my god, This bitch is selling fucking rusty cans…
March 16, 2011 at 1:55 am
I guess this just goes to show that you can sell anything on Etsy.
Throw a doily in the cat box, let your cat do its thing, put it up on Etsy as “Vintage Reprocessed Feline Nutritional Chunks” Great for children or a birthday gift for Grandma.
March 16, 2011 at 2:33 am
Anyone else problems with logging in at the newest post?
=/ this sucks
March 16, 2011 at 4:59 am
Wow ! this is ART !
March 16, 2011 at 5:21 am
Okay, I suppose this is not the place, but even with my Regretsy password I can’t see the next post…
March 16, 2011 at 5:47 am
Ditto. Or is that the joke?
March 16, 2011 at 7:13 am
Pssst…capslock….
March 16, 2011 at 8:06 am
I also have no joy in this.
Kinda glad it’s not….gulp… personal.
March 16, 2011 at 6:18 am
Yeah, I tried to put my regretsy password in too, and I still couldn’t see the post…..something is amiss….
March 16, 2011 at 7:39 am
Oh good, it’s not just me.
March 16, 2011 at 8:05 am
I can’t see it either..
This is…This is….it’s HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN…
I need a clove cig now.
now.
March 16, 2011 at 8:55 am
I tried logging out then in but it’s not working for me, either.
It makes me feel like I’m trying to enter a party I wasn’t really invited to.
March 16, 2011 at 10:21 am
Like the damn party the girl in the Friday Friday Friday song was singing about? I know your pain.
March 16, 2011 at 6:34 am
Pre-vintage cans
$6.00
March 16, 2011 at 6:38 am
$6 each? What a steal!
March 16, 2011 at 8:02 am
Yeah, but the shipping costs are higher, I’ll bet.
March 16, 2011 at 6:38 am
I too am having issues with the next post.
March 16, 2011 at 7:28 am
It’s funny how camping trips dubbed from a ‘long long ago’ can achieve such a romantic sentiment.
Frankly, I don’t think people from the Great Depression were living outside in tents and eating from rusty cans just because they thought it was fun to do.

March 16, 2011 at 8:29 am
How? I still can’t get it to work.
March 16, 2011 at 8:25 am
How do I become a regretsy member to view the protected post????? I REALLY NEED TO SEE IT
March 16, 2011 at 8:26 am
Oh Regretsy, you slay me
March 16, 2011 at 8:31 am
help! what is the secret to unlocking the protected post!!!!
March 16, 2011 at 9:27 am
Go to facebook and don’t forget the ALL CAPS. It’s not your old Regretsy password.
March 16, 2011 at 9:28 am
The “Trio” part makes me think they must be a musical act. Wheatie Wheaterson and the Busted Cans. I would buy that, little supposedly inanimate objects that sang old timey barbershop tunes, their voices slowly decaying as the rust flaked off… Fuckin’ whimsicle.
March 16, 2011 at 9:34 am
I didn’t want to register, but you made me because I can’t be satisfied until I see what you’ve got hidden under that “members only” link. But apparently my new registration doesn’t work so I *still* can’t see the hidden whimsicality.
Do I need to have some sort of comment approved by the moderator or something?
Okay, fine. This is the comment. My very first comment on this site and it’s going to get downthumbed until it vanishes because it’s completely off topic and whiny. And now I’m going to be sad and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT.
I think I need to go buy a picture of a dinosaur devouring Helen Killer from this guy.
March 16, 2011 at 10:14 am
I think it has something to do with the facebook page, but I also do not have a facebook. ?;(
March 17, 2011 at 6:01 am
Go to the bookstore and buy one.
March 16, 2011 at 10:17 am
Mine isn’t letting me through either.
March 16, 2011 at 10:18 am
And I don’t have facebook either. Come on. Your killing me.
March 16, 2011 at 10:20 am
The password is posted on Regretsy’s Facebook page. (Shhhh)
March 23, 2011 at 8:43 pm
Yay! Detective work has paid off. I was SO close to making a comment just like this one until I found it. Hurrah!
March 16, 2011 at 10:07 am
I want to see all ur hidden base!
March 16, 2011 at 10:16 am
Why the crap can’t I see that new member’s only post up there? I’m signed in and entered my password and its still a no-go. Any advice here? Or is HK just screwing with my head?
March 16, 2011 at 10:30 am
I am having the same problem!
Totally logged in and it doesn’t let me see it.
I want to see why it is so secretive!!!
March 16, 2011 at 10:43 am
Look…up.
March 16, 2011 at 5:24 pm
Yeah, I’m feeling pretty gullible…a ploy to get more registered members?
Worked for me–I’ve been lurking quite a while now.
March 16, 2011 at 5:34 pm
No actually, you don’t have to be registered to see the post. I actually get no benefit out of people registering. It just enables you to comment.
March 16, 2011 at 7:18 pm
Haha, I figured it out. And yes, that was my first failed attempt at humor here on Regretsy.
Just FYI, I wrote a paper analyzing the “unique” octopi using Walter Benjamin’s essay “Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” for my college English class a few weeks ago! (I meant to email you, but never got around to it…)
March 16, 2011 at 11:05 am
She did this on purpose! Strip her of her crown!!!!
March 16, 2011 at 11:32 am
Really Hobo Chic? I have read all of the posts on this site and have decided to buy a glue gun and pick shit up off the side of the road, Attach it to barn wood, take a photo and sell it on etsy. Oh wait I think thats been done. I’m off to find some unique steam punk junk.

I’m glad she knows her days of the week.
March 20, 2011 at 6:51 pm
This photo is just a great example of what I always thought about Etsy. It doesn’t matter what you’re selling, as long as you have a great photo. Crap like this gets put on the front page all of the time just because somebody is a good photographer. I never buy crap from the front page because of this. I look for good stuff, not good photos. Yeah, I’ll be laughing when this makes the front page, but I won’t be at all surprised.
July 12, 2011 at 10:25 pm
They make me think of tetanus.
