WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

ROFL...that's awesome!

First comment too? Wow...

Wil, did you see this?

Comcast Fires TechTV Staff

You have no idea how much I needed that laugh before bed! Thanks!

*kitty mojo*

I've got an air bass that's just collecting dust ... any takers?

P.S. Go Felix Go!

OMG, that really made my day...night...whatever...

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)

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

I've got an air girlfriend. She's not for sale though.

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.

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?

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!

*Electric Eye*

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.

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

Larry

I got caught like that once.....it turned out to be a hair guitar. Still played though!

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?

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!

That is just hilarious. Totally amazing what people will sell and others will purchase on Ebay.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

You know, the auction itself isn't the funny part. The funny part is, if this were a real auction, someone would bid on it.

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? :-D

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? :)

We had luck with a number of homemade CRF recipes for our guy Cyrano a few years ago. Some good infor here:

Give felix all the love he needs (and maybe install an extra litter box or two so he doesn't have to go as far!)

Oops, I commented on the wrong post! So sue me...

Maybe I should auction my air bongos for the Save Ferris Bueller Fund...

"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.

But you so know there is some one who would buy it!

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?

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

Hey, what's up with those Comcast goobs? You have an opinion on this one to share?

What's Felix think about this?

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

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.

*blink* And someone actually bought it? Oh, that's sad.

random thought: has anyone ever called you dubya? hehehh. just a random thought.

Dio has rocked, for a long long time.

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!

Sorry, I meant Cere. I've been reading too much greek mythology lately./My brain hurts...

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

who the heck is wil wheaton? i don't mean to post offtopic, sorry. but can someone clue me in here?

I'm a pretty good air vocalist, skilled in all sorts of ranges. I can even sing bass *and* soprano. ^_^

~~~~~~>*kitty mojo*~~~~~>

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.

to "some guy":

Freeman :)

For all these air instruments, we're gonna need an 'Air Supply'.

Okay, that one was really bad, I know. :)

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!

~*~Lotus~*~

Oh geez, I love Tenacious D, and that post was hilarious.

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!

I cleaned my air-dirtbike in my highschool drama class once, I never lived that down.

it is use~

For the last two day's I have checked my emails, and there have been emails from wwdn only to find when I open them that they are junk emails... has this happened to anyone else.

The bidders were probably other accounts owned by the same person or 5 or 6 of the seller's drunk friends who had some loose change after their last binge drinking session.

Hey my husband has one of those too! But he picked his up during the 90s grunge era. Oh, he also has a piano. It even fits on the dashboard of the car which is where he most likes to play it -- when he's driving and Ben Folds is on.

No one has mentioned air dreadlocks for sale... I offer mine; I've only rocked to some good reggae, George Clinton, etc. but without Lenny Kravitz to guide me I am ready to part with them...

I have a really nice set of air golfclubs here that I'd be willing to part with. I've won many a local tourney with these things. There are two drivers included, a fairly new putter, and various irons and woods. The bag contains all the pockets to carry all of the air accessories you will ever need. I will also throw in 100 air golf balls at no extra charge.

I don't think I will be needing my air Nascar either. I've often raced and beat the Nascar greats in this top of the line stock car. Dale Earnhardt Jr. hit me in my last race in North Carolina. I lost that race and I've not really had the money to repair the damage, so the right rear side needs some air work. Other than that it still runs like a dream and looks real good. If you want, I could use my air phone and give Dale Jr. a call and see if he will air-autograph the damaged area, but that will cost a bit extra...

I love my air guitar! It even works in the shower! 10 bucks is a bit step for shipping though. They are made of air after all.

Wil, I want to eat your brain and gain your powers of observation. I mean that in the best way possible.

Hi Wil!
My first comment. Cause I'm a shy loser who can't bring herself to actually SAY anything to someone obviously more brilliant. Way off topic, ANYWAYS!

If you liked the air guitar, have you seen the pretend girlfriends? HILARIOUS stuff!! For the guys who make 'em up from summer camp. I couldn't find the link to the news article, so I guess you'll just have to take my word on it, or go search it up. Sorry!

Anne,

Happy Mothers' Day!! Hope Wil and the kids treated you to something nice; I'm sure they did. Tell Wil to give us a rundown of your day's activities. Thanks so much. May love and peace be yours in abundance.

Freeman :)

I heard about that one and I couldn't believe it! and the fact it sold for 5.50 hahaha Genius! His pictures were classic as well haha

That was just too funny!! And what's even more hilarious is that it's on ebay... and is an actual auction... and someone actually won it. LOL

Stupid mimes and their invisible instruments.

I've known several air women to whom this instrument woud have been particularly suited

I got caught like that once.....it turned out to be a hair guitar. Still played though!
