So I doubt PPS would be interested in doing a raffle-style sale for themselves.
Well... This would be for paupers like me.
I had two blazers in my hands at one time. An SS. A Pug. Don't ask me why I let them go though.
I'd love a nice Pyre even though the name is gay, and or another BZ.
A Phoon is a nice alternative to a BZ. Only I'm not trading what I own. No no no. And cash is at an all time low also with the dollar getting as week as the peso.
I have four children and they come first, so that's why I thought of this. Though I know for a fact that if PPS was to auction/raffle off a standard Pyre... Every one, and their grand mother would jump on it. Plus what ever else they thought of getting rid of as well.

HurtCow, you'd make a good detective.

I was assuming we all knew what a funeral pyre was . . . then again, to make an assumption is to make an a** out of "u" and umption. The question is: is it to be suggested then that this machine of brass is indeed "a pile of material to be burned?"

It would probably be easier if you got M.C.B. to do a raffle. It's been talked about before. Once a season would be cool.

Is the Pyre actually made of Brass? I thought it was aluminum except for the barrel.
