FS: Belly Button Lint

(Please read the note at the bottom before replying.)

Hi Folks,

I am selling belly button lint to raise extra money for gas. This lint is the product of an all natural process. Please do not compare it to the inferior factory produced lint from China.

I am offering for your consideration the following:

Plain cotton: Sourced from cotton T-shirts, this versitile lint is great for birds nest's, hair on diorama figurines or even low impact spit balls. Available in Classic White or Faded Black
Order # 1047-W (white) or 1047-B (black) $2.00 per ball

Egyptian cotton: This lint comes from my cotton dress shirts. Egyption cotton is a long staple cotton that makes an excellent and durable lint. Some people say it is softer but I'll let you decide. When you need the coolness of cotton with a smooth finish this is the lint to get. Quanties are limited as I rarely wear dress shirts. Available in Bright White or Cool Blue.
Order # 1048-W (white) or 1048-BL (blue) $4.00 per ball

Tussah Silk: This lint comes from one of my sweaters. Tussah silk comes from (the butt of) wild silk worms. This lint is even softer than Eqyption cotton. Treat yourself to a little luxury from the Orient!
Available in only one color, Copper Red. See picture below. Special order only (I don't stock this).
Order # 1049-R $5.60 per ball


Marino Wool: This lint comes from my Smart Wool socks. OK, it isn't actually belly button lint but worth considering if you're on a budget. I have quite a bit of this on hand as I discovered too late that children will always take the candy over the lint balls on Halloween.
Available in blueish grey.
Order # 1050-BL $1.00 per ball

Please PM for ordering and payment details.
thanks!

I didn't ask you why you were going around with underwear on your head that time so please cut me some slack on this. Thank you for your patience in this matter.)

I think it is more appropriate here, given the obvious dare/bet/whatever that ChrisBennet has lost.

So, Chris - come clean - what what it that you did to have to post such an 'interesting' for sale thread?

PS: As for me running around with a pair of underwear on my head - how'd you know?!

Got any butt-crack lint? Something in a Sephia Brown would be nice.

The sweater the better.

PlaidLint, I notice that you have an '86 911. Chris has an '86 911 listed at "RIP". Coincidence?

I'm working on it! I was delayed by going to a Dr's appointment - a day early. Sigh. It's great being senile.

My plaid P3nis Cozy's and spats are in the washing machine at the moment so it will have to be my one of my plaid shirts. I'm very partial to the Black Watch pattern. Stylewise, B.W. says "Live Free or Die" without saying "I'm a NH hick with a wrecked car in my front yard".

When you work out a good way to make it, let me know. I think the black watch thing is a bit dreary. I would go for something in a stuart.

How much for the wreck?

Cool inquiring minds...

Would you trade the wrecked '86' for an original Eldridge Cleaver 'Johnson' cozy in extra radical ? Tres chic for the French rioting, or would make a great 'Hooters' conversation piece, as well as impressing fossilized NER hippie types with your impeccible taste and elan.
Just a thought
