He claims it was built by HSU for a product show and was sold afterwords.

Silver Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 364 Registered: Dec-04 | Interesting that the seller has personified this piece of equipment, as one would a ship. Referred to as 'He', indicates an impression of male bonding, as opposed to the female vernicular usually applied to a vessel, deemed to be beautiful, or invaluable. The parting of this man and his err 'friend' may represent a positive for the guy. My guess is that a 'she' was involved, again, a positive sign. Who wants the friggin thing now? |
Silver Member Username: Stu_pittNYC, NY Post Number: 754 Registered: May-05 | The guy refers to the sub as 'he', yet he humps it... He also states that every guy who walks in "usually go "mount" it like a dog to a fire hydrant." Who really wants the friggin thing now? Not the best sales pitch I've come across... |
IgorUlanoff Unregistered guest | Seems to have issues there. Now what will the 'boys' hump? |
New member Username: DimoraPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | I am the gentleman selling Thor. The pic of my friend Pat "humping" Thor was placed there for humor, as well as to show just how large Thor really is, all "who wants it now" jokes aside. He is fully legitimate, confirmed by Dr. Hsu of Hsu research himself. His auction ends in less than 24 hours, so if you are interested, you must act fast as there are already bidders. Best regards to all. Here is his current link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5832502627 |

Nor would I doubt the interest of someone, somewhere to own such a rare commodity. Its just so much fodder for jokes in so little space, I hope you understand. Nuck |
