#1 of 30 by popcorn on Wed Jun 5 03:16:42 1996:

I'll bid $5.

More info from Richard:

Addendum on the movie passes:  These passes are not good for the first two
weeks of a first run engagement, and are not good for special attractions and
motion pictures where prohibited by contractural obligations.  These tickets
expire November 30, 1996.  So, if in doubt, check with the Movies at Briarwood.

And if you call 769-8780, the prerecorded voice message will
tell you which films you can't use the passes for.

These are "VIP" passes, then?  I'll bid $6.


#5 of 30 by popcorn on Thu Jun 6 05:48:17 1996:

$6.50


#6 of 30 by gregc on Thu Jun 6 06:41:54 1996:

Are these good for only 2 movies, or are these something you can use over
and over again until 11/30/96?


#7 of 30 by bruin on Thu Jun 6 12:17:47 1996:

RE #6 Each ticket is to admit one person to one movie.  They cannot be reused.


#8 of 30 by gregc on Thu Jun 6 14:02:11 1996:

Ok, so these are movie "tickets", not season "passes".


#9 of 30 by bruin on Thu Jun 6 14:23:45 1996:

RE #8 Correct, gregc.


#10 of 30 by aruba on Thu Jun 6 14:25:48 1996:

$7.00


#11 of 30 by sekari on Thu Jun 6 21:28:25 1996:

$9


#12 of 30 by robh on Tue Jun 11 21:01:43 1996:

The current bid is $9 from sekari, with two days left to go.
Going, going, ...


#13 of 30 by armada on Wed Jun 12 16:34:51 1996:

I'll bid 15 dollars for the passes.


#14 of 30 by sekari on Thu Jun 13 03:40:44 1996:

damn damn dan damn damn
15 are you insane
there is no practical purpose to bidding 15
look
I calculated this, general admissions for matinees are $4.50, *2 makes it
$9. for an evening show it costs $6.50, *2=13, so no matter what, if you 
bid 15, you might as well be paying for two evening tickets, plus popcorn,
but your not getting popcorn. if you were to by popcorn and a drink, it'd 
cost you anywhere from $3 to $7
damn
i almost had them, you did this to spite me
there is no point in matching, let alone topping 15
damn
oh
buggar off

 I wasn't aware that popcorn was for sale. ;)


#16 of 30 by robh on Thu Jun 13 08:00:07 1996:

I believe the "purpose" in bidding $15 was to give Grex more money.


#17 of 30 by brighn on Thu Jun 13 17:17:44 1996:

i bid $20 for popcorn...
i can't use the tix, though...
*slaps himself and withdraws the bid*


#18 of 30 by robh on Thu Jun 13 17:39:54 1996:

<robh is perfectly willing to make brighn some popcorn for a
$20 donation>


#19 of 30 by aruba on Thu Jun 13 22:26:04 1996:

Heck, I'd put caramel on it for that much.


#20 of 30 by adbarr on Fri Jun 14 00:46:04 1996:

No appreciation for value, here. Heh.


#21 of 30 by popcorn on Fri Jun 14 05:02:22 1996:

Re 17: Withdrawal is a notoriously bad method of birth control.


#22 of 30 by robh on Fri Jun 14 13:36:02 1996:

I'm reminded of the urban legends involving a guy who makes
a bet that he can get such-and-such-woman to touch his penis...


#23 of 30 by aruba on Fri Jun 14 15:48:22 1996:

That was a scene in the movie "Diner".


#24 of 30 by adbarr on Sat Jun 15 01:55:45 1996:

I am trying to get Grex and Arbornet to cooperate with HVCN in a joint
effort to create a community calendar -- and this discussion, drifts
to medical problems. I posit there is little "wang envy" on this
system. Let's go see Independence Day, all you SF fans, who are not
dating that weekend. <adbarr can drift, too!>


#25 of 30 by scg on Sat Jun 15 03:00:38 1996:

What is the current bid on this, again?


#26 of 30 by sekari on Sat Jun 15 05:14:25 1996:

15


#27 of 30 by robh on Sun Jun 16 23:20:00 1996:

Three days until armada's bid becomes final.


#28 of 30 by robh on Tue Jun 18 15:25:47 1996:

One day left until armada gets 'em.  Going, going, ...

(re 24 - Since when do SF fans date?  >8)


#29 of 30 by sekari on Tue Jun 18 22:53:45 1996:
