Fun Auction Text

Here... I'm showing my age. I used to watch Batman & Robin when the ABC TV series was (gasp!) new... I was 7 at the time, and I watched the episodes dubbed in Spanish, and probably a few months old only.

Why this preview? It has to do with the very funny text in this auction. Check it out and, if you're my age, laugh! 😀

Holy moley Batman, I think I'll stick with my Nokton ($324.00)

Rats!!!, I bought the silver one.

Ouch! Somehow, not quite camp enough. But still good for a laugh.

I still think the lens without mushrooms was the best. For those who never follow PP&I, there was a fellow in Spain who was trying to sell a camera and lens (Fujica as I remember), and used a translation program of some type, from Spanish to English. It translated a lack of fungus on the lens to a lack of mushrooms.

And I ordered my camera lens with cheese and bacon only!

And they say these things are very tasty! They can fetch some very nice prices in the Madison Farmer´s Market...

 

[oftheherd]

Francisco,

Do they fetch fancy prices with or without lens? 😀

I don't think I know that mushroom, although I may have eaten some when I was growing up in MO. My mother used to like mushrooms in season. My wife cooks a lot of mushrooms that are very tasty. We get them at the local Korean market store.

This April Fools Day ought to be a fun one, with THIS group.

oftheherd, for tastier effects, the best is to de-lens the fungus and cook it in Rodinal at slow flame. 😛

 

[oftheherd]

De-lens it? Why didn't I think of that? No wonder it always had an odd taste. 😕

And Rodinal is good. I always wanted to try pyro but most stores don't carry it even in the gormet section. sigh. 😱
