Kiwis. They're just a little more special than the rest of us ...

And by special, I mean hilarious.

Make sure you check it out soon, it will only be there for another week. And read the Q&A at the bottom, too.

I'M TERRIFIED! Though I wonder if you change the settings to small load, will the porthole open to less dangerous time periods? I'd love to have a chat with some of histories odder characters.

They are very special! Not only do they Know How To Have Fun, but they appear to have a great deal of spare time in which to have it. All of them :)

Why are you even doing the washing? Don't you have a wife?
Answer: Well I DID...I didn't bring that up as I didn't want to put buyers off. I'm afraid it took her too. It's ok though at least she still has the iron.

LMAO.

It's true, a well worded advertisement can sell anything.

Mr Riss and I have been laughing ourselves silly at that. Very Special Indeed. The Q&A was hilarious, but I really liked the 'customisation option' photo...

Oh man - I live just 20 min away from the washing machine from hell (or the Pleistocene) and its owner. Tempted to buy the damn thing just so as to meet him! Used to have a very similar old washing machine, shook the whole house. Didn't open any ice-age portals though.

And *THAT* is why we pretend to be so different from Aussies and the rest of the world :-P

But oh god! And they are from Waterview Auckland (rich part of A- near the Harbour). I kinda expected it to be a uni student lol.

Thankyou for the laugh at 4.15am :-)

You are not wrong. :oD

My personal favourite comment (although I only got half way through so far) was:
Q: Will this washing machine be scary enough to scare away my. other half's, other half? I've tried the death threats thing, to no avail... cheers!

A: Hmmmn, interesting concept. I can see that working. You'd want to get them to wash something really big like a duvet. You could put a jar of marbles and some broken bottles in there first, as soon as they push start run because i don't actually know how big the blast radius would be. hot tip, super glue the plug into the wall.

Ha - the auction was even pimped on national radio this morning! I couldn't resist emailing him on trademe:

------------------------------------
Me: This auction has become an international legend, Q&A and all! Makes me proud to be a kiwi and an Aucklander. You should definitely have a blog somewhere - I'd read it! Pulled a muscle laughing.

Mike the washing machine owner: This IS my blog. I really like the fact that it's temporary.
------------------------------------

Very sensible I reckon, it must be a bit overwhelming.

Ha! Next time I need to sell something, this is the way to go.
