If people wanted to spend $1000 to hang with you, would you take it? Keep it?

If I could get 30 people to spend $1000 to hang out with me, I'd spend half of it on bills and half on my students -- like on as many books as I could tote.

If I could get 500 people to spend $1000 I'd either spend it on starting a charter school (cause I'm figuring I would have to do something renumerative to entice enough people to want to pay that). If I wasn't doing something renumerative, then I'd spend the money on a house.

Mainly cause, I'm assuming James Marsters is good for money.

I would not pay $1,000 to hang out with Jesus and get his direct personal pager number. But if you have the grand, I suppose you do whatever makes you feel good with it. I won't charge y'all anything to hang out with me, even though according to the quiz I'm a NY Trendsetter.

P.M. Marcontell

I'd hide in my room and never come out.

But that's my thing.

If thirty people wanted to pay $1000 to hang out with me, I'd spend a lot of time saying "I'm not having sex with you! I don't know how to have $1000 of sex!"

So they need to pay up front.

MechaKreylboyne posting secret message in Atlantic Canadians

So I'm looking at the rather mysterious message I've recieved in the post. Is it a warning of some sort? A threat? A request for aid? Only one way to know ...

t Rolls D20 ... gets 20.

Dammit. Never on a strike roll, always the way.

t Santa ATTACKS, with Claw/Claw/Cheerfulness, doing 37 points of damage, and forcing a saving throw vs Christmas Spirit, which is passed.

t two Reindeer ATTACK, each with Hoof/Hoof/Antler, doing a total of 11 points of damage.

t Rudolph ATTACKS with Hoof/Hoof/Shiny Red Nose, doing no damage, but forcing a saving throw v. Blindness, which is passed. This will end badly.

shrift in Natter, speaking Truth:

I have a leftover blueberry bagel.

In theory, it's a bagel; in practice, it's more of a special-needs muffin.

Oz-ing in Natter:

Fred Pete: I just realized that a lot of us have phrased our taglines in the form of a question. (Look at the 6420s of this thread for some examples. And my tag for another.)

If I were pretentious, I'd write a long, rambling post about how this trend symbolizes the Buffista search for meaning in an increasingly uncertain world.

Instead, I'll just say, "Huh."

Matt the Bruins Fan in Angel Spoilers, not spoilery in the main (unless you don't know how Matt feels about DB):

whitefonted part is the only thing that may be current-season spoilery for the most spoiler-sensitive.

Isn't he the best celebrity ever? Great discovery story, developed from wooden acting to a nuanced multi-faceted performance, looks like that, does 80% of his own fight scenes, happily plays up the HoYay! without a peep of complaint, very vocally respectful of his folks, fan-friendly, plays celebrity hockey, drops non-sequiturs constantly, and dresses like a demented circus clown... it's like I had him made to order!

Erin, given "Innocence," "First Impressions," "Couplet," and most especially "Dead End" and "Carpe Noctem," I don't think the whitefonted sentence is especially indicative of this season. ;-)

Nilly explains it all in Natter

Rio: How you remember all this stuff I DO NOT KNOW.

Nilly: This is sort-of how it went: Rio! I haven't "seen" Rio in a long time! Hmm, when was the last time I've 'seen' her? (drink of water) Oh, I know! It was last week when I was all tired from the day of TAing a double lesson and seeing her was a nice up-point. Oh, and didn't she say then that it was 3 weeks more for the crutches? I think I figured out then that it would be until somtimes inside 2004, so it had to be 3 weeks (counts with fingers), couldn't be less. And since today was another lesson, which means that the former timing was a week ago, this leaves (counts with more fingers) two weeks, right? And a little longer before the yoga can return to normal, perhaps. What was I trying to think about? Yoga? Ah, Rio! Why? Oh, look, a shining screen, let's see what's written on it.

[Edit: So, what you want is not my brain, what you want is my fingers. And they're not tasty.]

OK, I just got sick laughing.

Miracleman in Bitches, in re Christmas elves hiding under his keyboard:

Are a;lrjket not. I'm fully aw;qwl;kennv082u aware that Christmas elves wouldn't venture this far south until qlwkejnvas GODS DAMN IT Christmas Eve.

Look, you short little fuckos, if you're going q;o4iwj=0432? to mess with my typing, at least pass on to your boss that I could really use a new deuterium injection system for my tokamak.

The only way a freezer would keep me from eating homemade fudge would be if it was padlocked, sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and guarded by sharks.

Gleebo in Firefly:

Tim could have a great show to counter Tru Calling. He could have someone killed in a bloody orgy of death, then after they are dead they turn to him and say "Try harder, not gruesome or ironic enough". Then the whole day starts over and he is left to find a much more terrible form of murdering the same person all over again.
