50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

a little something for the collectors

  • Uncategorized

In response to several requests, I present: a ton of eBay auctions.
I made myself giggle with the description for Wesley Crusher: Mint In Box.

    WooHoo…first comment.
    I like the Wesley Crusher description. =^)
    This is a great way to take a break from writing a yucky literature review that is due in 2 hours.

    What?!? No “bitch in prison” dedications?

    In the Book auction’s description you say you were selling 2 copies, but the auction says that 3 are available.

    What if your bitch from prison wins the auction?

    That is an awesome description.
    Are you sure he still likes to play with Nanites?

    I loved the selling descriptions, as always worth a good laugh and much more.

    That doesn’t look like Wesley. It looks like Paul Mantee in “Robinson Crusoe on Mars”.

    quite the clever description on the action figure. man, it has to be odd sometimes, to have an action figure. i’d have one. she’d rock socks. i dunno what’d she’d do and stuff, but i think people would buy it.

    woohoo! i’m going to try for the autographed wesley crusher for my moms star trek ‘wall of fame’ (im not kidding… my mom really does have a s.t. wall of fame)

    Thanks for the afternoon chuckle, Wil! I like your “little cardboard thingy in the “hang me up in the store hole” is still there” bit.
    Good luck on the auctions! (Yes, I will do my duty and place my bids. Gotta support a fellow lefty.)

  12. Sara says:

    I almost want to get the picture just so that I can get “Look at that large interesting thing over there!” written on it…
    But that would cost money.

    nice hmic. but seriously, how is the severity of my ass fire unreasonable?

  14. Tracy says:
    11 December, 2003 at 4:55 pm

    nobody else bid on the pictures! i want one!
    just kidding. had to bid at least. 🙂

  15. Israel says:
    11 December, 2003 at 5:05 pm

    They make Wesley Crusher action figures? I love it! How ingenious! Did anyone actually buy any though? Just kidding! I’d buy one, but your ebay price is up to $40, man. Too rich for my very destitute blood.

  16. retroRandy says:
    11 December, 2003 at 5:09 pm

    It must be too cool to see yourself as an action figure. I’d so love an autographed copy of your book. It’s a damn shame I’m too poor to bid on it. Argh!!!

  17. maggie says:
    11 December, 2003 at 5:11 pm

    i think it would kick ass to have an action figure as well, even if it didn’t look like me. i think mine would have to come prepackaged with a bonus posable figurine of my sidekicking dog. and much like those dolls that pee on themselves, his would have special feature: a cold, wet nose. who wouldn’t go for that?

  18. Grimicus says:
    11 December, 2003 at 5:11 pm

    Action Figures! I’d be torn with wanted to open it or having it bronzed.

    Wil, you’re worth a buttload of money in action figure form!

    What it must be like to have your own action figure! It doesn’t look like you though!

  21. Haldir says:
    11 December, 2003 at 5:50 pm

    “What’s unreasonable? Something like…”Help me, my ass is on fire!””
    LMAO! By mentioning it you just encourage it, Wil 😛

    You kill me Wil. You just absolutely kill me. LMFAO!!!

    11 December, 2003 at 6:50 pm

    You know I’d be highly insulted if I were you. That action figure is ugly! But ooh la la! Don’t you look good in your fake uniform! MMMM….teenage boys. Is that wrong?

  26. synchronicity says:

    Dude, sorry to say this, but your decription should say something about him working out at the gym more than the actor who played him: the way he holds his arms (and his chest size) makes him look like he just came back from a session at Gold’s Gym.

    hey wil, this is rach, an avid reader, and regular poster…i know you probably don’t wanna here this, and are really sick of hearing it, you really do rock. i watched stand by me today, and also, Toy Soldiers. i thought i would let you know that my older sister and i used to watch that film so often! we pretty much grew up watching it…i think we watched it 5 times in a week (ok..getting scarey now!!! sorry!!) but yeah… i just wanted to you to know that i really like those movies, and that you really do rock!
    anyway…
    enough of that.
    from rach
    ps. great description of wesley crusher!

    man, these books have to come back in print soon so the rest of us poor folks can read it without paying 50+ bucks! And I only say this cause I really want to read it.

  32. DANZA says:

    DANZA WANTS TO KNOW WHY YOU PUT A MINT IN THE BOX.
    OK, BYE.

  33. sarah says:
    11 December, 2003 at 8:37 pm

    wow. you were air brushed into one hot stud muffin!!!
    too bad they didn’t use you as a model for your action figure, though. *grin*
    oooooo that i had a job so i could bid on your images.

  34. wil says:
    11 December, 2003 at 8:52 pm

    I totally wasn’t airbrushed.
    Well, okay, maybe my boobs and some cellulite. But the face is all me, baby.

    OMG this is funny. Whil is rolling in dough now……okay maybe not but he is on his way.
    And what is wrong with your ass being on fire. I light my ass on fire several times a day, and I have a beautiful ass (seriously). :p

    Scottsdale? No no Its all about Glendale, Home of the Arizona Cardinals. :s Oh who am I kidding.

    “Housebroken”, what the love & guidance of a good woman (Anne) can’t achieve.

    I’m amazed at what these items still rake in as cash. They’re just up for less than a day and already outside my budget range. There must be something about Wil selling them himself… you probably get a can of 100% pure and genuine Wil Wheaton essence (guaranteed to raise your geek level by 3 steps) with them or something like it 😉
    Now I’m waiting for one of those T-Shirts to stay in a price range I am comfortable with… that’s below 50 😛

  40. Redman says:
    12 December, 2003 at 5:31 am

    Wanted the Borg-9 shirt….
    ‘Ship onto to USA’
    The bane of my expat experience….
    SHIP OVERSEAS.

  41. Bruce says:
    12 December, 2003 at 5:50 am

    Man, for this money, order up some more t-shirts from the people that printed them, the are worth a fortune….

  42. Reg says:
    12 December, 2003 at 6:45 am

    Cardinals Rock!!!!!! Or they have good intentions, anyway. That action figure doesn’t do you justice man.

  43. becky g. says:
    12 December, 2003 at 6:46 am

    wil! whaddya trying to do, get me fired?! i can’t even keep a straight face with all that magnificent gold ink & reasonable/unreasonable autograph criteria! ah ha ha ha ha ha!!!! i knew it was more than just your good looks that inspired that raging crush i had on you when i was eight.
    keep up the good work!

  44. Arcadian Del Sol says:

    If you buy this, whatever you do, do NOT buy The Traveller. I made the mistake of buying them both on the same shopping trip and when I got home and took them out of the back, they were both gone.

  45. C-DUB says:
    12 December, 2003 at 9:17 am

    Hee hee. I love the descriptions. I now have this incredible urge to use the phrase “hang me up in the store hole” in conversation somehow.

    Ah, the late 80s. I remember my friend George and I would walk around doing our Patrick Stewart impressions:
    WHERE’S THE BOY?!
    WHERE’S YOUNG WESLEY CRUSHER?!

  47. Vickie says:
    12 December, 2003 at 9:35 am

    I almosat choked to death, on the poster and your discription. LOL, your a crack head ! !

  48. Tim Read says:

    Mr. Mom reference on the EarnestBorg9 shirt description? Classic.
    Excellent work.

    This could generate one helluva income. At this rate, you could start selling Wil Wheaton’s Belly Lint or Toe Jam w/ pictures of Wil actually picking it, as proof of authenticity. Judging from the actions of the clock, doll, and t-shirt, the lint alone may have a street value of $30.
    The possibilities are endless, Wil.

    Hey, my belly button lint is for one thing, and one thing only: late night snacking.
