A question for the forum

Why?

We need some additional liner tiles for our bathroom project, and they have been discontinued. I have looked online, local, whatever. Found some on eBay from a seller called 'peduncle'. Ya really.

Why would someone deliberately choose to be named peduncle?

Please explain.

Because the person may be a botanist or a surgeon?

@axtremus Selling tile? Possible. Not likely, but possible.

I had a friend who rented out an apartment near Boston. He told me that one of the prospective tenants used to send him completely regular and seriously worded emails regarding rent and contractual what-not, but that she had the email address 'theseboobs4U'. Apparently, it didn't work out.

@doctor-phibes Well, that one doesn't quite carry the ewwwwww factor the peduncle does. Tasteless, yes, but not ... cringey.

I hope Ax is right that there's a reasonable explanation. I may have to buy the product from this person.

Well, worst case scenario you are a bit long of tooth for this guy. But take Mr. Brenda with you anyway. And a baseball bat.

@mik I'm not afraid, just creeped out. Shipping will be fine. I'll be very glad to have it shipped. LOL

Hmmm . . .

BTW, my teeth are just fine, thank you very much.

It's probably some gal named Pauline Edwina Duncle.

There was a company when the internet started that specialized in pens.

Their name was Pen Island

Their internet name was penisland . com

Oops!!
