The raffle's going to be... interesting...

[moonlettuce]

Picture the scene... a few days ago...

Woman What I Work With: Claire, do you still do that convention?

Me: Yeah.

WWIWW: You have a raffle, don't you?

Me: Yeah.

WWIWW: Do you take donations?

Me: Yeah...

(It's at this point, I've got to say that the people who work around me know it's a slash con.)

WWIWW: Okay, I've got some stuff you might be interested in.

::Jump to today::

WWIWW: Claire?

Me: Yeah?

WWIWW: I've got a suitcase in the car. I'll drop it off at yours tonight.

Me: Okay.

::jump to tonight::

Now, before I go any further, I should comment that said woman that I work with? Used to be an Ann Summers rep. In fact, some people may remember her from this post.

And now you all know where this is heading, don't you?

I.. well, no, the convention ::grin::, is now the proud owner of a (really rather large) suitcase of Ann Summers stock.

There are more boxes of jelly penises in my house than I know what to do with.

Only, it wasn't just the novelty penis items we got. Oh, no. She gave us everything she had left. Including the naughty nurse outfit, the all brand new and still with price tags in some cases (and dude! Ann Summers is expensive!) lingerie, the flashing nipple lights, the naked men playing cards, a gimp mask and at least one set of feathery things that I looked at for a good five minutes before I finally gave up on trying to work out what they were. And that's just some of it.

The vibrators (and there were several) unfortunately had had the batteries left in and had corroded or no longer work (yes, I tried them) so had to be thrown out. (This also means that if my bin men look inside my rubbish this week, they're going to think I've had a far more active Bank Holiday weekend than I actually did. Me, and possibly the entirety of Newcastle rugby team...)

There was one point where I was almost completely surrounded by sex toys. It's been an amusing night to say the least...

ETA: Just to clarify, the jelly penises are the edible kind of jelly penises, not the other kind. Personally, I'm not sure which would be more amusing ;D

I am in hysterics over the content of your bins.

Seriously, someone's going to think there's a lot more action going on in this house than there actually is ;D

Haha! That is awesome. When I was little my mother was in charge of warehousing cartons of Girl Scout (Guide) biscuits for the annual sale, which was mad enough, but a houseful of plastic dongs takes the cake, it really does.

::grin:: When I say jelly, I mean edible jelly penises. Although boxes of dildos would have been possibly more funny ;D

And they'll be in date for the convention, so there'll be many sweet nibbles to go around ;D

OH MAN OH MAN I CANNOT WAIT.

(I also have a pile of stuff for the raffle. So far, a Star Trek computer mouse, a copy of Voltron on DVD, a Primeval action figure, and a High School Musical USB bracelet. Please take this crap off of me!)

High School Musical USB bracelet

That actually sounds kinda cool. Which just goes to prove I have no taste, doesn't it ::grin::

We will absolutely take your crap highly valued raffle donations off you. That's what makes the raffle so much fun ::g::

Heeee - I missed the last couple of years due to crap timing (on my part) but this sounds like fun f only for the hysteria I can image happening at the raffle!

When is Connotations 2009 again? *G*

And sorting out sex toys sounds like an entertaining evening (only you Claire, only you)!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Come September, some of this stuff may be yours ;D

I'm also eyeing what to give out for the pimping prize.

The seven cocks containing bubble-blowing mix, though, are totally mine!

Oh Man, I have just read this at work.

I have tears of laughter running down my face.

The kitchen staff have just been in to enquire if I am ok.

I couldn't answer through the laughter this post inspired.

The raffle is going to be ahem, intresting to say the least!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Interesting is one word for it ;D Personally I'm just waiting to see who chooses the naughty nurse outfit as a prize ;D

[rhade-rad.livejournal.com]

Think you need to put a big "Not work friendly" banner over this as trying to explain giggling about bubble blowing penises is just not something I want to do to the guys round here. *Trying very hard not to LOL*

Some very nice friend bought me the complete OZ box set for my birthday so I have the season 1 box set to add to your raffle collection.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Oz, yay *\o/*

We could attach the nipple lights and do it as a two-for-one. And wow, there's a sentence I never thought I'd type ;D
