"No, but I could learn to if you bought me the Penguin Complete Classics Collection!." "Very well!."Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: O_O only one set left!. Wow!. I would not shower for a week!. I would eat ten kg of leeks!. I'd make a larger shelf by hand!. I'd live on food that's oh so bland!. To get that set I'd run a mile Or two, or ten (it'd take a while) The things I'd do to get that set! !.!.!.maybe you'll get me one, Vet!? !.!.if only!. Hmph!.Www@QuestionHome@Com OH MY GOSH! I want that! Gah! Okay, if someone bought me that I would promise to set them up with someone (not my daughter) that they would love because I'm a shockingly good matchmaker!. That's something I'm good at and one of the few things I have to offer someone in exchange for a thousand books, though eventually I might even give up a goat once I get a little farm going over here!. Add: Hey, will anyone buy me the Penguin Complete Classics Collection for Christmas (or other-holiday-of-your-choosing)!? Pleeeeease!? I'll give you whatever you want (within reason) if you'll just buy me those books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Reader, drop me a line if you feel like venting!.!.!. Whew -- the similarities!. To get that collection I would either satisfy a grown camel, or just pay the tab!. This would depend on what my mood was at the time -- as well as how much I'd had to drink!. But really, either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I don't think I could read all those in my life without sacrificing my education, a job, etc!. I'd have to live in my mom's house 'til I'm 80, just constantly reading!.!.!. reading!.!.!. reading!.!.!. lol But I would love to have it if I got it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Oh!. My!. Gosh!. How far, eh!? Well, I would live with a hobo for a week for those!. If you want, months! God, that would make a wonderful Christmas gift! P!.S!. - I loved your example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I would possibly give up my room, laptop, and baby brother!. Maybe not my brother, but definitely the other two!.Www@QuestionHome@Com HOLY ****! Anything while still retaining my dignity and not breaking the law!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Sell my soul!. Duh!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Nice one!. But would you still get to keep the books if you divorced or if something serious or fatal (which you had no part in whatsoever, of course) happened to her!? I'd probably do almost anything that would go against my nature!. I'd ride roller coasters (never ridden one in my life) three times a week for as long as I'm still afraid of riding them!. If I get over that fear, I'll switch to rock climbing every month for the rest of my life!. Any other extreme sports will fit there, too!. Hey, I would get myself a spot on "Fear Factor" and do my best to win!. (This may not sound all that bad but !. !. it is) I would work at Burlington Coat Factory or TJ Maxx and abstain from folding or in any way organizing any articles of clothing, no matter how much that would drive me crazy!. I'd purposely fail !. !. !. three of my classes!. Sorry, I can't go much further than that!. I would become the epitome of the terrible student in every way for those three classes, and I would hate every minute of it!. I'd definitely consider the marriage idea!. I'd write the most horribly worthless collection of poetry, pass it off as genius, and advertise my work shamelessly with extravagant book signings, outrageous temper tantrums, a flood of self-promoting questions on Y!A, and anything that will keep my name on people's tongues!. (That, of course, excludes having any affairs!.) I'd audition for American Idol with an original opera and a choreographed dance routine of combined ballet and break-dancing, dressed as Gonzo from the Muppets!. If that doesn't get me the Penguin Complete Classics Collection, nothing will!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Hmm !. !. !. I would babysit other people's sticky, smelly, squalling brats on many otherwise halcyon nights, while they were off doing something lovely!. Like reading!. For every title in that collection that I read I would promise to also read one truly dreadful book of the bestower's choice!. If so required I will even come up with something nice to say about each of them!. I would go yearly (for a maximum of 10 years) to a musical festival where the lineup includes the likes of Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Rihanna and T-Pain!. I'll even promise not to drink!. :( I would let my golf pro brother, whom I despise, teach me condescendingly to play golf, although the very thought of golf, or my brother, makes me want to weep!. I'd even have a drink with him after, while he humiliated me in front of his friends!. Last, but certainly not least, I would let my dead father perch like a raven on my writing desk and continue, as in times past, to inform me of all of the ways in which I fail!. I'm cheating here though!. He does it whether I permit it or not, I'm just hoping the books distract him and he flits off to peruse them, leaving me to my own devices!. ***Edit) Thank you Bruckcie, I just may do that one of these days! You're always welcome to do the same!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
