Of the FIRST century, they say? I was sure Charlie's Angels was a little bit later than that.

Farrah, get ya hairah done. You've been under s'girl's bed too long.

The current bidders on this item are:
Junkmeister
Rolloverrosie, and
Roxieboo175angel
Does this tell you anything?
Posted by: Blue Meanie | February 09, 2006 at 07:50 PM
It tells me that these losers have nothing better to do than bid on lame old crappola. And that we have nothing better to do than watch them.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 09, 2006 at 08:01 PM
Well, one person's junk is another person's...... um, junk, actually.

I work in Huntington WV!! Now I have to be on the look-out for Farrah clones???
Posted by: insomniac | February 09, 2006 at 08:15 PM
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I used to have one of those!! I LOVED it! Except the makeup never came off; you had to use baby oil on cotton balls, and even then the blue eyeshadow ended up permanent. :)
Posted by: Guin | February 09, 2006 at 08:17 PM
Guin, I suspect all those things also happened with the flesh and bone version. Probably Steve Austin's grounds for divorce.
Posted by: KDFgirl | February 09, 2006 at 08:21 PM
There are people in my state who still have this makeup and hairstyle.
Posted by: Kilmeny | February 09, 2006 at 08:37 PM
Yeah, this will work -pffft!
Posted by: Eleanor | February 09, 2006 at 08:38 PM
Huh. Well, at least it's in decent condition. If I'd had that thing when I was a kid it'd be bald now. Like the Little Mermaid doll and Barbie's entourage.
Posted by: Bumble | February 09, 2006 at 08:42 PM
"And the famous hair survives, little worse for the wear... in okay, been there done that condition." Boy that Goodwill Huntington can write some slammin' ad copy, huh? Sell it, baby, SELL IT!
Posted by: KDFgirl | February 09, 2006 at 08:43 PM
The Farrah makeup and hairstyle are "in" again. Maybe someone wants to buy it for practice. (This one is starting to look a little post Letterman)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 09, 2006 at 09:21 PM
Farrah, get ya hairah done. You've been under s'girl's bed too long.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 07:41 PM on February 9, 2006
Hey lady, there ain't no chicks under my bed.
Except sometimes Tamara. :)
Posted by: southerngirl | February 09, 2006 at 09:31 PM
>>the makeup never came off;
reminds me of my daughter's attempt to die her hair in 3rd grade. She used food coloring and had a permanent red streak IN FRONT that had to grow out. She wore a hat for her 3rd grade picture...but WE all knew what was under the hat.
Posted by: daisymae | February 09, 2006 at 10:07 PM
Ain't nobody under here but us chick(en)s.
Posted by: Farrah | February 09, 2006 at 10:33 PM
Looks more like Priss from Blade Runner.
Posted by: Sean | February 09, 2006 at 10:36 PM
Ah, Blade Runner, best SciFi movie ever made. I have both the theater version and the director's cut. Ah, Sean Phillips (?), most beautiful replicant. Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford should have won Oscars for that one. Hollywood never hands out Oscars for SciFi film performances, just the special fx.
Now for this thread: it wouldn't be farrah me to make a comment. **ka-pwwiinngg!**

When did "vintage" become a synonym for "found in a landfill?"
Posted by: bbescuela | February 09, 2006 at 11:01 PM
S'man, I think you forgot to turn off the italics. Did that work?
Posted by: bbescuela | February 09, 2006 at 11:06 PM
are we still italicized?
Posted by: insomniac | February 09, 2006 at 11:07 PM
BTW, I believe it was Sean Young in Blade Runner.
Posted by: bbescuela | February 09, 2006 at 11:08 PM
insom, I fixed it.
Posted by: bbescuela | February 09, 2006 at 11:09 PM
Italicized - Does that turn me into Blue Meanioni?
Posted by: Blue Meanie | February 09, 2006 at 11:11 PM
Yeah Guin - it still(a) makes my brown eyes blue
& Farrah (IF thats yer real name) - thanx fer the Asleep at the Wheel reference!
Posted by: CoastRaven | February 09, 2006 at 11:52 PM
Sorry folks! I plead guilty to (not too or two) two (not to or too) counts of guilt and throw myself on the mercy of the court! I forgot to turn off my italicizer. I forgot gorgeous Sean Young's last name. I am guilty. But at least I remembered to put the seat down. I think.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | February 10, 2006 at 12:04 AM
Hey, I always thought if the guys are kind enough to put the seat up, so I don't sit on a wet seat, they have done half the work, so it doesn't hurt us gals to do the other half. A lot more pleasant than sitting on cold porcelain. In the dark.
Which is why Whoopie dumped whats-his-face, who was never in a sci fi movie in his life. I don't think.
Covered it all, we can all rest easy now.
Posted by: Tamra | February 10, 2006 at 01:02 AM
Tamra - I'm fine with that, as long as they're doing their half of the laundry, the dishes, the cooking, the cleaning, etc. :)
*twists open can of worms*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 10, 2006 at 01:44 AM
... um ... Sean Young ... um ... Yum! ... um ... nevermind ...
Posted by: U.O | February 10, 2006 at 03:55 AM
Here it is 3 a.m. and I'm the only one who knows that Annie let the worms loose. S'ok...the guys'll wake up, emerge from the doghouse, yawn, stretch, scratch, and notice the nightcrawlers. Wonder if they'll take the bait? *dives back in (not under) bed; pulls covers over head*
Posted by: Betsy | February 10, 2006 at 04:07 AM
*Yawn*
*Stretch*
*Scratch*
*Nose probe*
Mornin', Babe! I'm ready for coffee, and you can put the eggs on.....
Posted by: Blue Meanie | February 10, 2006 at 08:28 AM
I must be some spoiled, then, Annie. My husband does the dishes, grocery shops and puts away his clothes himself.
What do I do? As little as possible. *smirk*
Posted by: Noob | February 10, 2006 at 08:46 AM
Just my two cents (not that anyone panhandled for it) - Makes more sense for both parties to just put the entire lid down. Then the worst that happens is someone sits on a cold DRY toilet lid. Plus all those germs dont get tossed in the air when the flush occurs.
Posted by: CoastRaven | February 10, 2006 at 09:00 AM
CoastR - that's not the worst. Worst is the lid gets peed upon in the dark.
Best procedure: Enter, check seat conditon, modify if needed.
Posted by: pogo | February 10, 2006 at 09:08 AM
I just pee in the sink.
Because I'm thoughtful, is why. I'm just a sensitive, thoughtful guy.
For instance, I think this Farrah gift would be a GREAT idea, along with a card saying something like, "Hey, maybe you could be pretty like this detached plastic head someday!"
Oh, and guys, be SURE not to let the ladies know that the doghouse has a tunnel to the pub, okay?
Posted by: Christobol | February 10, 2006 at 09:10 AM
...and ladies? be SURE not to let the guys know about the timer on the "pub" that's going to slam/lock the doors at a prearranged signal, and unleash a multimedia surroundsound cascade of childbirth/cookie decorating/DIYvasectomy/Manilow tapes.
And for Pete's sake, don't tell them what the signal is...we want them to stumble on it accidentally in one of their 'humerous' posts...
heh
heh
Posted by: Betsy | February 10, 2006 at 10:13 AM
I'm with Annie on the toilet seat thing!
PUT THE GD SEAT DOWN, BUSTER!!
Or else go and pee somewhere else.
*loves that she has a take no prisoners attitude on at least one "guy" thing*
Posted by: Eleanor | February 10, 2006 at 10:15 AM
I think Madonna's current incarnation is a replica of this. Have you seen her lately? Yish!
Posted by: Suzy Q | February 10, 2006 at 10:17 AM
I'm in the "put the whole lid down" camp, but I gotta say, if I lived with a militant "put the seat down or else" type, I'd just leave the seat down all the time and pee with reckless abandon.
Has anyone seen About Schmidt with Jack Nicholson?
Posted by: Sarcasmo | February 10, 2006 at 11:34 AM
Oh boy, Sarcasmo, you're in big trouble now!
*waits for El's reaction to that incredibly brave (or not-to-smart)comment*
Posted by: southerngirl | February 10, 2006 at 11:41 AM
not too smart
*damn*
Posted by: southerngirl | February 10, 2006 at 11:43 AM
I still chuckle at the memory of the night I left the seat up, and at 2 a.m. my (then) wife discovered zero gravity! hehhehheh, snork, wheeze, bwahaha, gasp! (wipes eyes) whew! I guess you had to be there.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | February 10, 2006 at 11:44 AM
"...pee wih reckless abandon." I'm definitely going to have to use that quote today.
Posted by: angene15 | February 10, 2006 at 12:22 PM
Sarcasmo - that's why we don't live together.
A few years ago a bf of mine (stupidly) asked why the "right way" was with the seat down.
Because it's MY house!!! Any more questions?
bf: No.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 10, 2006 at 12:22 PM
Think having on of these on the next pillow over would be kinda weird?
Yea?
Me too!
LET'S GO BID!!!!
Posted by: kibby F5™ | February 10, 2006 at 12:24 PM
But beside all of that.....
Goodwill has gone eBay™?!? That's freakin' brilliant!!!!
