Agreed. Quote:
Geese. Don't bring geese into this. They didn't do anything to you. |

Quote:Geese I didn't mean the animal.  The exclamation. I assumed that was what you meant. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to say something.  |

I've always spelled it "geeze", or "geez" or something similar to emphasize the "z" sound. I haven't done any research to back this up but that exclamation is probably a derivative/abbreviation of a very well-known religious figure, thus the "z" sound.
Geese, geez, or geeze, this is a lot of money to spend!

I'd think the etymology of it is an abbreviated Jeeze Louise which is a non blasphemous way of using Jesus Christ as an exclamation

I much prefer the image of a Big Canada Goose doing their (um, gotta kept it family) Jet Assisted Take Off (TM) over a field of overhyped special label slabs.

If only I had more money than sense.  If I had more money, I would still get one, ungraded in the OGP.  |

Hey jbuck, congrats on hitting 30k posts!
If you got 50 cents for every post, you'd only be about $3000 short of buying this lot.

In my opinion, the Chicago, or any location label, isn't worth a $500 premium.

Agreed, very few of the labels grab my attention. I'm not into the "early release" label either.

ebay just sent me a friendly reminder asking if I was still interested in this auction. Very thoughtful of them.

If only ebay was tracking your spending habits. They would know not to bother.  |
