Oh no, only a few minutes until that six hour deadline. Now Preacher will decide what to do. Do we really want to know?

If the crayons are to be auctioned again, then they'd need to come from the winning bidder, not Preacher.

There comes a time to say goodbye.

These crayons had been in the house for long enough. I have the copies of the photos from before, so should they be needed let me know. Let us all remember them as good crayons.

Sorry striffe.

Guess we'll have to send the remains to poor, dead, anal boy.

How sad that they were burned. Nothing good can come of this. Closure of the worst kind.

The crayons being gone changes nothing. Except for the fact of them being in my house. Their time had past. And I think we need to go find an auction. Find something weird, odd, misspelled, completely lost. I'm feeling the need to bid, since missing the end of the last auction.

The horror.... the horror. In looking at that picture, is there something else there. That point of light... looks like something. I think I might even see an image of a young boy and girl.

At least put the remains in an appropriate vessel. There should be some wax residue. Wrapper ashes. Perhaps a jar would work. Something with a lid.

Wait wait wait...

When they melted, did they melt together and create a new color?

Ooooooooh!

Nah, all the colours just make black. So, after all this, after all the trials and tribulations, we are just left with a big black shapeless glob. And the only one to truly profit from this was the great Satan, Ebay.

Time to move on I guess. Say, who ended up buying that guy's pool?

Then it would be time for a "Ghost of Crayons in a Jar" thread.

Should the jar be auctioned off on Ebay next?

Perhaps among the crayon collectors of the world, there is something sacred about melted crayons and wrapper ashes in a jar that makes them even MORE valuable. Especially when they were burned during an appropriate ritual, complete with readings from some holy crayon parchment and ceremonial chants.

I looked last night for an auction on Ebay, but nothing that really suited us. Anybody having more luck? Preferably a seller with multiple auctions ending many days away. And free shipping, but that may be a bit much.
