"...It still had what area apparently cufflinks belonging to Vice President-elect Joseph Biden..."

Um, could someone please translate this for me?

Kiribub: Um, could someone please translate this for me?

Typo: area = are

Pickens called Action News to see if we'd be able to reach out to Biden's people. He's not looking for any reward or publicity he just want to return these very nice cuff links.

if you weren't looking for publicity you would have called the biden office, not your local news station.

/still a pretty sweet find

Finding out the cufflinks belong to Vice-President elect Joe Biden: Priceless

No, I'm pretty sure we could put a price on that.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: Typo: area = are

Thanks. I'm a tard.

thomps: if you weren't looking for publicity you would have called the biden office, not your local news station.

I didn't realize regular folks could just call up Joe.

/I think the news station folks might have a little more pull than "John Cufflink".

The Onanist: I didn't realize regular folks could just call up Joe.

i think the place to start would be his local office. you know, the guys that are paid to field calls from constituents. it just seems a little disingenuous to say you don't want publicity and then go straight to the media. i don't blame the guy or wish him ill for it, just thought it was worth noting.

You really think when a call comes into the local constituency office saying they have the Veep's cuff links they would even take a message?

The site's headline says "Vice Presient" as well... they're not even using the B-team today.

I'll be honest. I would have just kept them.

Aarontology: I'll be honest. I would have just kepteBayed them.

At least that's what I would have done.

Or maybe given them to my ex-father-in-law. For a discount.

What an awful Web page. Two different ads with full sound. Yuck!

Aarontology: I'll be honest. I would have just kept them.

Yeah, but would you wear your hair the way the guy in the video does while walking around pretending to be Joe Biden?

Stompn_Tom: You really think when a call comes into the local constituency office saying they have the Veep's cuff links they would even take a message?

The guy could always go in and show them the cuff links as well as the certification from the jeweler he went to. It would at least cause the low-level guys tell the story to their superiors, and so on up the ladder.

I mean, I know Biden's staff has more important things to focus on right now than his lost cuff links, but it's not impossible.

Vanetia: Aarontology: I'll be honest. I would have just kepteBayed them.

I hadn't thought about eBay. Still, I'd probably keep them anyway. It's not every day you find something like that.

I hate the "Priceless" meme so much, I want to kill it in front of its family.

serpent_sky: Aarontology: I'll be honest. I would have just kept them.

Oh hell yeah. I'd probably have a tailor modify a bunch of my shirts so I could wear them with everything, too.

Aarontology: Oh hell yeah. I'd probably have a tailor modify a bunch of my shirts so I could wear them with everything, too.

If you ever find cufflinks and wear your hair like that, we may well have to wander around in public together again or something. That would be such a good look for you... total pimp.

Since my tax dollars probably paid for those cufflinks, I think they should be given to me so I can sell them on Ebay.

I'm willing to bet they aren't Biden's personally, but belonged to someone on his senatorial staff or someone to whom they've been given as a gift.

My sig-o is a political and cufflink nerd so we have actually had conversations about political cufflinks.

Every time I read 'cufflinks' in this thread I somehow read it as 'chufflinks,' which I could imagine the guy in the video calling them. I think I'm retarded.

/Gotta give him credit though, he wants to return them.
//The price of gold is up.

It'll take some time for my hair to grow back to be long enough, but I'll get right on the other stuff.

Why in gods name do our Senators need gold cufflinks with their name on them for? In case they forget who they are, they can just look down at their wrists?!?! We are paying for this crap people!

hummm...might be this pair (new window)

I keep waiting for Mario to jump on this guy's head.

It seems ol joe gives away quite a few cufflinks (new window)

mr lawson: Why in gods name do our Senators need gold cufflinks with their name on them for? In case they forget who they are, they can just look down at their wrists?!?! We are paying for this crap people!

All regular folk have solid gold cuff-links. That's how you can spot them.

mr lawson: Why in gods name do our Senators need gold cufflinks with their name on them for? In case they forget who they are, they can just look down at their wrists?!?! We are paying for this crap people!

Well, we are paying his salary. If he's paying for the gold cufflinks out of said salary, then I guess that's up to him.

If they're 'extra,' then it does seem a little silly.

You know who else had custom gold cufflinks?

Relatively Obscure: Well, we are paying his salary. If he's paying for the gold cufflinks out of said salary, then I guess that's up to him.

If they're 'extra,' then it does seem a little silly.

of these two options...which do you belive to be true?

FTFA: When he got home he found even more: It still had what area apparently cufflinks belonging to Vice President-elect Joseph Biden.


make my bain hurtz.

I don't know. They could have been bought any number of ways. The only story I found about cufflinks off-hand mentioned a set purchased by his sister as a gift. They weren't, however, these particular cufflinks.

vernonFL: You know who else had custom gold cufflinks?

The HA HA guy?

Either the Weeners on the article's page is the BEST TROLL EVER or the guy is in the running for the biggest douche award.

Edsel: I hate the "Priceless" meme so much, I want to kill it in front of its family.

Reading a story about some cufflinks - Zero dollars.

Reading the comments before the "liters" - Five Dollars.

Hacking off Edsel so much he pops a vein - Priceless.

Snot Monster from Outer Space: The HA HA guy?

FTW.

From TFA:

with the words United States Senator Joseph H. Biden Jr.

Uh, his middle initial is R.
FYI, The only reason I know that is because Robinette is at least twice as bad of a middle name as Hussein.

Snot Monster from Outer Space: vernonFL: You know who else had custom gold cufflinks?

The HA HA guy?

I was going to say the 82nd Airborne...

The Snot Monster made me giggle.

maybe he can sell 'em and score some more of those stylin' shower caps.

My local thrift store never has brook brothers shirts, much less for a dollar.


lucky bastard

Kanemano: My local thrift store never has brook brothers shirts, much less for a dollar.

The first thing I thought when I read the article was "Brooks Brothers shirts? For a dollar??" That's an $80 shirt.

Those cufflinks better not be in the strong box owned by some guy who wear shirt for less than a dollar.

No kidding...a heartbeat away from a very nice heirloom.

I have Jack Lords cufflinks. I'd never trade those for a Biden set.

Euell Gibbons: I have Jack Lords cufflinks.

Yes, but can you make your hair do that?

I say the cuff links belong to the guy who bought them. Joe gave them to charity.

I knew someone in the 80's who bought a few suits from Goodwill that turned out to be Ronald Reagan's old suits from the 40's/50's. He made a few bucks selling them to a collector.

Finders keepers.... fark the walking hairplug! Why not have a momento of the worst VP in US History?
