Posted By: <b>ockday</b><p>After having just completed another batch of Ebay consignments with Barry..I have to say that there is probably no one better to deal in this hobby. Honesty, integrity, speedy payments and even pick up service if you're in the neighborhood...what more would you want when selling.The same goes for when I've consigned to his regular auctions.<br>I'm sure most of you know this already but for those that don't, Barry Sloate is incredible to deal with.<br>Thanks Barry!<br>Alan

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Did I ever tell you about the time Barry and I went horseback riding, but there weren't any horses around? Anyway, Barry throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Nebraska for three days. Well, wouldn't ya know it, my stamina increased with each day, and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Barry decides to enter me into the Breeders Cup under the name Turkish Trophy. And I'm running in second place, and I'm running, and I break my ankle. So anyway, they're about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, Don't shoot him, he's a human.

Of course, that would be up to Barry if he'd want this honor. But Barry, think about it, you'd probably be the only guy in your Synagogue that can make that claim! How cool would that be? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"> Wait a minute, on second thought maybe that wouldn't be so good because I think there was something about having an exemplary life and DEATH to be considered for Canonization... ok, we'll find the miracle but postpone the Canonization until a much later time... <br><br>

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>For a board full of guys who do not like self promotion,horse racing and such this thread was right on the money. Keep up the good work. The thing i liked the best in this thread is that Barry responded first LMAO it was almost like taking a bow before the audience even clapped.<br><br>Smiton's Bay is in the 5th tonight but she is so lazy that i may have to drag her out of the barn but she may grab a small piece, watch out next time however when she is dropped into 6 furlongs where she belongs because she will be boxcars which is just the way you like it.

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>i posted this TRUE story last August...here it is again, in its entirety...<br><br>&quot;i must say, this is the first i'm hearing about the Sloate comment...i have seen, first hand, Barry in the clubs, he rolls in with the chains, fadora hat, velour shirts and the irresistable scent of &quot;sex panther&quot;...Barry is unstoppable, women go nuts for him...i mean i have tons of game and do pretty well with the ladies myself, but the girls walk right past me when Sloate's in the club. i remember this one time he was holding court poolside on the roof of the Gansevoort, we had Wonka there, Lichtman, Leon and maybe about 11 to 15 models all around us, i think Lindsey Lohan or one of those other celebs was there with us too...anyway, Barry was sipping Grand Marnier and doing slight-of-hand magic tricks and telling hysterical jokes...i mean we were slumped over laughing, and everyone was applauding...i think at one point, he was making balloon animals for the models (they like that sort of thing)...so before we knew it, the manager came over and bought us dinner and drinks for the rest of the night. i think by 4am, the manager offered Barry the penthouse suite adjacent to the pool...he retired to said suite with 5 girls on his arms (he left us with a few he didn't fancy)...i've never seen such prowess with the ladies...anyone who questions his manhood, need only buy him a Grand Marnier at the bar to get him started, then sit back and marvel at the legend.&quot;<br><br><img src="/images/wink.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="wink.gif">

We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Barry takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Barry yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em!'&quot;<br><br>&quot;He once punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming up the road.&quot;<br><br>&quot;He taught me how to make love to a woman, and how to scold a child.&quot; <br><br>&quot;They found $60 in change in his stomach.&quot;<br><br>&quot;Barry drank a full glass of liquid LSD with his eggs. Then he slept for 8 months straight. When he woke he rubbed his eyes and said, 'All in all, I prefer gin.'&quot;<br><br>&quot;He once inhaled a seagull.&quot;<br><br>&quot;He drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.&quot;<br><br>&quot;You know, he would shoot whiskey into his neck with a syringe!&quot; <br><br>&quot;He has dandruff the size of mice!&quot;<br><br>&quot;He jogged with a fridge on his back!&quot;<br><br>&quot;Barry's family crest is a picture of a baracudda eating Neil Armstrong.&quot;<br><br>&quot;Did I ever tell you about the time Barry was in a production of, 'The King &amp; I?' On opening night, Barry chloroforms the entire cast and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.&quot;<br><br>&quot;He wears a live rattlesnake as a condom.&quot;<br><br><br>
