OH man, my dad makes this joke about his childhood. Except, he grew up in Boston, so it's like "powah."

Swanky Bostonites, all your fancy extra vowel sounds.

I'm hoping for these two people to keep raising the bid to exorbitant levels just so Baby Onstad can have the greatest Christmas of all time. That little tyke deserves it. She's such a trooper.

I was wondering if was in fact the artist himself selling it, or someone else who had previously bought the painting.  A quick check of the seller location (San Carlos, just up the highway from Palo Alto) indicates it is, plus the feedback he has left for other ebayers is sometimes done in character voices: "This guy, he is best customer of all time. A white light surrounds his account." or "Lovely transaction, all quite pleasant, item as promised. Thank you."

Yeah, boy*****1 is Chris Onstad. Don't worry, it's not some scalper looking to make a quick buck off Achewood fans.

The two bidders fighting this battle: one just buys N64 video games,  the other actually buys art.    I think one of them is putting him on.

Which one do you suppose was the put on?
