Tomorrow (May 1st) is my birthday, and I need about $400 to buy a new guitar. There's also a couple PSX games I wanna buy though. I don't think I'll get enough money anytime soon. I am about 1/3 of the way there however...

ANYONE WANNA GIMME SOME MONEY!?!

you might consider pimping yourself :p
but then again that might be considered illegal activity, depending on where yur from, and would prolly not be allowed on these boards..

Well you could become a man whore :cool: as Bgnome suggested OR you could....hire yourself out as a mercenary :rockets: ....or you could go ask grandma :innocent: or sign up to participate in medical a testing program :spy: or possibly even become a stand up comedian :fingers: .....but no mater what you do, don't work yourself to death:dead: over a little bit of money. Have fun and good luck! Don't beat your self up over it :smash: .

Or you could try to write a Ps2 emulator, call it Bleem 2. Get lots of people to buy it. Delay its release then stop updating it.

:D

Easy money:rolleyes:

yeah and then spend all that money you earned from bleem2 and max out your credit cards ... and ... and borrow money from all your friends and family ... just so you can pay the high price of defending your product against the likes of Sony in court. Trust me when I say this ... they did not profit from sales of bleem. If anything, it cost them many things ... besides money.

Wormie: How did you post an avatar more than 50x50?

Keith
May 1st, 2001, 19:48
Let's just say I have friends in high places :D ... Actually Bobbi did me a favor and raised the limit to 65x65 .. thanks again Bobbi :D

Heh, to all the members or you only...

Bgnome
May 1st, 2001, 19:55
i dont think you can set it for individual members so its prolly a universal thing..
i could always set it back to 50x50 but i believe it wouldnt affect the avatars already upped..

you know how we do it in (actually not me ) in my country,
we just throw our selves on a slow moving car (a good one ,mercedes may be ) making a scene . the man might be good enough to get out of the car offering you money to go not telling the cops about that horrible accident .
some time times it works good ,but most of the times you got killed .:innocent:
so good luck.:D

a good other hint = catch your neibours cat and your freainds dog , make a small circus make a show at the near park , but be careful not to make your freind see his dog being kicked when not doing well.:D :p ;)

i used a dollar to buy a can of pop every day in high school cuz if i took change, id loose it before i got to lunch

The solution ... emegrate! All you would need over here is
279 pound coins. Still quite a bit better get the chainsaw to the couch then (if this the same couch ad that we have):D

how much do that many quarters weigh????

May 3rd, 2001, 04:25
dont know for sure but it was tough moving the box i had them in

but it didnt weigh as much as my brothers jar of pennies (he has over 30 dollars in pennies at the last count over 3 years ago)

My parents had $250 in various diffrent coins. My mom said that when they took it to the bank to cash in the girl looked like she was gonna kill them :)

Why kidnap the president's dog? Go for the big guy himself! Oh, wait, probably wouldn't have anyone willing to pay the ransom if you did that. :)

>and I need about $400 to buy a new guitar
What about grifting? That certainly seemed to work well for Bart and Homer. "Call me mint jelly, 'cause I'm on the lamb!"

>Go for the big guy himself
Why would you want to kidnap the Big Guy? He fights of evil entities, it says so in the song! ;) "That's what you get when you fight for Uncle Stan!"

In a related note, I used to pay for SNES games at EB (Electronics Boutique, I dunno if they have them everywhere) completely in change! I'd waltz in, pull a huge Ziploc out of my pocket and dump the change on the counter ;) The clerks there used to cringe.

i used to do that too

my freind worked at a card shop and one day i walked in and bought a box of magic cards in quarters and i made him count it even though i knew exactly how much was in there

my freind hated me but the owner loved me since he always needed change

I dare you to deposit $400 in pennies at a bank. Particularly when a lot of people are behind you in line. They'll be really happy. :)

Yeah go up and say "I have a TON of pennies i need to deposit"

the bank teller would be like :mad: and you'll just be like :p

ummm... you could write the testament your inner organs
to science... or just sell some to black markets... but DON'T let them give you the sleeping medicine... or they could just take more than half of your lungs...

Easy! Just read my book, "The betamax guide to quick and easy money". Availible in a limited edition of NONE (as in there aren't any). This book can solve all monetary problems with ease. Simply send me monthly installments of $50 for 8 months and I'll send you a copy of this treasured item.:D

Betamax: I already sent you the money and your book isn't here yet? Is it lost in the mail or something? :confused:

Betamax
May 9th, 2001, 22:31
Yeah... mail. that's it blame ups:D

Stupid UPS. You should have used some sort of reliable shipping method like fourth rate USPS mailing. Oh well, hopefully it'll be in before too long...
