This auction led to one of the funniest sessions on Tiki Shout that I've ever experienced. Tangaroa was joking that I should bid on the tombstone since it was only up to $25,200. I stupidly typed "Dare me to bid on it?" To which MachTiki typed "I double dog dare you" and Tangaroa added, "I triple dog dare you".

So of course I had to.

With great, gut-strangling trepidation, I clicked on the "bid" button, knowing that with 5 days left on the auction I was probably pretty safe. Still, that bid of $25,400 just about stopped my heart. Of course, I was immediately outbid by the bidder current high bidder, so with a sigh of relief I boasted of my exploits on Shout and was congratulated all around for my male stupidity.

"Your Turn, Tang." I now prompted Tangaroa.
"F**K NO!" he shouted back. But I think my "bawk bawk bawk"s got to him eventually and he went ahead and took the plunge.

We were ecstatic and all called him "da MAN!" He was shaking with the adrenaline rush of playing "Ebay Chicken". Now it was MachTiki's turn. His reluctance was even greater than Tangs, because he knew his wife would absolutely kill him.

I pick up the transcript of the Shout from that point on. Please note, you will have to read from the bottom up, just as if this was a real Tiki Shout conversation. Please note how a group of grown men quickly revert to playground mentality.

I wonder if Hanford realizes what uses his Tiki Shout is being put to.

Sabu.

PS: I got permission from all parties involved to post this shout transcript. We figure our wives will find out anyway through the grapevine. So we're just as dead one way or the other.
