Shoot, this sounds like the ultimate diet program to me......cause who wants
to drink that mess from the Bass-O-Matic when you get to that stage?  You
just need to follow the Process to completion is all.

I was thinking the auctioneer could promote the two-foot pleco with a pitch 
like "If you regret buying such a big plant at the last auction, then you 
need THIS!"

Then at the next auction, someone could pitch the Bass-O-Matic.  "If you 
regret buying such a big pleco, then you need THIS!"

That's what I call a "cane toad solution."
