Halloween 2023 - Day 20

Big Pumpy: What success. Just like our Halloween party, the auction has brought a crowd.

Sands O'Time: Who'd have thought the dump wouldn't be a dealbreaker for so many?

Big Pumpy: Why would it?

Sands O'Time: Shh, Ol' man jibberjabber is ready to start.

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Here ye, here ye. The auction will now come to order.

CyberRaven: You're not fooling anyone with that beard!

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Quiet, or I will hold you in contempt of the bidding gallery. Our first item today is a mostly drained bottle of Goblin Juice. It'll put a kick in your step.

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Do I hear, $100?

Benny: Dibs!

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Dibs it is! Sold to the seller!

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Next we have a camera. Rumor has it, it was used to film a season of a Public Access show.

Big Pumpy: Hey, that's my camera. Who put it up?

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: : Sold to the buzzing fly!

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Now we move to the big-guns. The one chip challenge is not for the faint of heart as we've seen.

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: The future is dim for Paqui, and eBay has already culled the listings. You can only get it here, folks!

CyberRaven: Hmm, I suppose a bird gullet could handle the spice...

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Sold!

CyberRaven: No, I wasn't bidding...

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Now for the piece of resistence, we have an untainted Chicken Fry box.

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: As you can see, there is unique artwork on both sides.

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: And more importantly, the perforations have not been tampered with in any way. Bidding starts at one penny.

Hogbug: What do you say? I think it will fit in nicely with our food theme.

Hedgekins: Consider it done. Dibs!

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: I hear dibs for one penny, do I hear two...?

. . .

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Two pennies! Going twice, going thrice...

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Sold to the Bird of Staring!

Hedgekins: Dibs!

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Unsold, and resold for three shiney pennies.

Ol' Man Jibberjabber: Auction is du jour!

*whack*

Cael: Ow, my head!
