  6. I’m pretty good with the air drums, anyone want to form a band? (we’d need some roadies for sure, those things are heavy)

  7. hmm, brings to mind the little guitar sound effect in Bill and Ted.
    if a bunch of people all played ‘air’ instruments, maybe they could convince a large portion of the public that they were going insane.=p

  9. sadly, i’ve been known to break out the air keyboard on many an occasion.
    now all we need is an air vocalist, and maybe an air brass section.

  10. i was always partial to playing air drums myself. you have to watch you don’t air injure someone and send them to the air hospital while you’re banging on those air skins though… dangerous stuff.
    p.s. you hear comcast laid off the entire techtv staff? what the eff?

  11. Were you aware that I still own my collection of 80’s Air Guitars??? I’ve spent many hours playing with some of the world’s greatest guitarists!

  12. How about an air flute? Maybe it should be an orchastra instead of a band? I think a friend might still have her air violin…

    PS: to the guy who suggested “spamming” the Spammer. Two wrongs won’t make it right. I like the ERASE AND IGNORE ploy better.

  13. It was probably pretty cool, however, remember that totalfark links arent accessible to the general public. Anyway, goes to show people will buy anything 🙂

  15. That’s classic, and the funny thing is, Hall and Oates DID have a reunion in my town, and stayed at my Hotel. Old, bratty and washed up, heh. – I wonder if I could sell my 30 yard touchdown pass?

  16. This is how dense I am. I read the ad, I laughed at the ad, couldn’t understand why the bid would only be at $5.00+ until I was half way thru reading the comments here and realized duuuhhhhhh AIR guitar.
    Anyway 1st time here, so many people have you on their blogroll I figured it was time to check your site out. Have a good weekend!

  18. hey wil!
    that was wicked funny! i can’t believe that people would bid for that! haha…still, i guess its all in the name of fun! and there is NOTHING wrong with that!
    take care
    rach
    ps, hope Felix Bear is ok!

  19. So Wil, how long until we get to share in your rage against stupid cable networks tirade?
    *Sigh* I loved TSS. Watch G4 go and screw it up now.

  20. Poor TechTV. Admittedly, there are (were?) some hosts that I just didn’t think were “right” for the spot, but they sure as hell better keep Patrick.
    Because Patrick rocks.

  21. Are you guys serious? THAT was funny? Well, I guess anything’s funny late at night. I, unfortunately, read this at 7 this morning and I found it to be entirely stupid. But whatever. P.S. Did anybody find out who sent all the kiddie porn? Cause that sh*!’s just wrong.

  22. Ugh. The air guitar was funny, but the news concerning TechTV is just sickening. It figures that now that I get out of college where I don’t get ZDTV, I mean TechTV, they up and cancel it.
    So, if G4 called you and wanted to guest host one of their shows, would you? I’m not asking so I can point and call you a sellout, but if they’re in LA, that’s significantly closer than SF, no?

  24. Dio has rocked for a long, long time
    Now it’s time for him to pass the torch
    He has songs of wildebeest and angels
    He has soared on the wings of a demon
    It’s time to pass the torch
    You’re too old to rock, no more rockin’ for you
    We’re takin’ you to a home
    But we will sing a song about you
    And we will make sure that you’re very well taken care of
    You’ll tell us secrets that you’ve learned
    Your sauce will mix with ours
    And we’ll make a nice goulash, baby
    Dio! Time to Go!
    You must give your cape and scepter
    to me!
    And a smaller one for KG
    That was all from memory…
    I guess I should stop listening to Tenacious D, huh? 😀

  25. Hey, I still occasionally play my air clarinet – we’re well on our way to a full orchestra!
    p.s. hey Felix, how’re you doing? 🙂

  29. “And any fat girl’s party”? Ha. Ha ha ha. Fat hatred is so funny. Mocking fat people is so cool. Thanks for furthering body discrimination, Wil. Very helpful and thoughtful.

  31. I was going to make the Tenacious D comment, but it seems I have been beaten to the punch. So…awesome Wil, they rock, eh?

  32. Cere — making fun of fat people? it was barely mentioned in one sentence, and wil didnt write it. dont try to start little internet wars, pal. you lose!!!1!11!11!!!!oneone!eleven

  33. Hey, what’s up with those Comcast goobs? You have an opinion on this one to share?
    What’s Felix think about this?

  34. *snerk* I love that. 5 bucks. Oh, and the comments about only taking it out after six beers? Priceless. Good luck with the bidding.

  35. Wow, I know $15 isn’t a lot of money but even if someone is going to make this silly buy why waste the $10 for postage? And would the seller really send a box containing the ‘air guitar’?
    This is the first time I’ve had a chance to read your page, and I have to say it left one amusing first impression. Thanks.

  39. Hey Cerce,Where did Wil make fun of fat people? I read and re-read the whole paragraph and saw no mention of people of the portly stature (One of which I am). If you want to place blame, do so on the person who offended. So chill out, relax and go eat something already!

  41. Now if i get the air guitar, it will go with my air drums, and my new air keyboard. Now if i only could find a air lead singer and a air band.
    And boy does that suck about tech tv

  43. I’m a pretty good air vocalist, skilled in all sorts of ranges. I can even sing bass *and* soprano. ^_^
    ~~~~~~>*kitty mojo*~~~~~>

  44. I smashed my Air Guitar years ago while jamming with the Who. But, I still have the case, strap, extra strings, amp and picks that went with it. Maybe I should put those up for bid too.

  45. to “some guy”:
    If you really don’t know, Wil Wheaton is the fabulous Ensign Wesley Crusher of the Starship Enterprise, Startrek: the Next Generation. Episodes can be seen nightly on Spike TV. He has recently written a book , Dancing Barefoot, from O’Reilly Press and a second book due shortly, Just A Geek. He has a beautiful wife, Anne, two kids, a black-and-tan dog and a sick cat.
    Join the rest of his fans in sending him our love and support; you will be mutually rewarded.
    Freeman 🙂

  46. For all these air instruments, we’re gonna need an ‘Air Supply’.
    Okay, that one was really bad, I know. 🙂

  47. ROFLMAO!! Great! I nearly spit soup on my monitor when I read about the letter and the magazine. Wow! Thats good stuff.
    Kitty Mojo and Mojo for you and the fam still coming your way. Also mucho Mojo for Kris!
    Take care!

  49. OOOH!!! Finally, something to go along with my air ukelele!
    now all I have to do is figure out exactly what an “air jordan” is and how to get one of those.
    You don’t suppose they have an air pamela anderson do you?
    Soon my collection will be complete, and then the world will tremble with envy!
