I Think I'm Going To Sell Out

[NQ6U]

I've struggled financially for most of my life and I'm tired of it. Having no money is tiresome, so I think I'll sell my soul (figuratively speaking) to someone or something that will ensure that I have an ample supply of it from now on.

What do you think would be my best legal bet for raking in some big money, ASAP?

[W5RB]

Internet porn.

[ki4itv]

Legally? That rules out drugs.
So I guess you'll have to sell your soul and go into politics.

[KG4CGC]

Porn or politics.

[KB3LAZ]

Political porn.

[KG4CGC]

Political porn.
Bill Mahar does Christine O'Donnell in the pooper.
Technically, she'd still be a virgin.

You can do what a friend and I did, open a whore house. We had to run it by hand until we could get some girls.

Sort of. Not really well enough at this point to make a career out of it, though.

[K7SGJ]

Open a half way house for girls that don't go all the way.

Not to take the subject in a overly serious direction, but I'm 30 years old.. and I'm proud to say I've sold out.

After 15 years of struggling, scratching, and worrying.. I finally have become the corporate whore my mother always hoped I'd become. I have great benefits, an above market salary, and all the free soft drinks I can chug down in a day. I have rolled over and said "this is the best I can do" and I'm happier for it. American dream? 3 kids, a house, and the same job for 35 years? Hell, the American dream is having a slightly above average job where you can rise to the level of chief shit shoveller -- and I get to pay a ridiculous amount of state and federal income taxes for my pleasure. God bless Americuh, I tell you what..

My mother wanted me to be a priest, or a girl.
Talk about a real mindfuck.

[NQ6U]

My mother mostly wanted me to shut the fuck up and leave her alone but that has nothing to do with career choices.

Besides, everyone knows it's spelled pr0n.

I can forward you a few emails that say they'll make me rich. Not much use for them so I'm happy to share.

First question:

What do you love to do? Not necessarily "work", but period: What do you love to do.
Figure out a way to make money from it.

ie, I love tinkering with computers. So, I figured the best way to make money from it was start doing side work. Now, I have a full-time consultant gig, so I get to play with new things all the time. My full time corporate job pays me well enough on it's own.

But, I've seriously considered other options: Opening a bicycle shop. Starting an IT services workers co-op. et al

I seriously wouldn't "sell out", because there is more to happiness than money. Doing what you love, and as long as you aren't starving; you'll be well onto a happy life (IMO). If I got canned from my full-time position, and the economy really dinged my consultancy, I'd probably open the bicycle shop.

[KB3LAZ]

I sold out and I didnt all at the same time. Where as I work for GM I also have my own business, two in fact. Well 1+ a hobby that makes money I guess. Neither of the two make me loads of money but if ever I lost my job they would keep me afloat until I found another. Though one did almost get me a fine when I started it at 16 y/o because I wasnt doing it in a legal manner lol. Lets just say when you host games you need to host ones that allow for it. :D

I cannot figure out a way to get someone to pay me for getting stoned, and laughing at silly shit I hear serious people say. I did produce an underground cable tv (not public access) where the panel, and audience are openly slamming shots, and passing the bong debating exsistential jibber jabber until the laughter bagan. The movie Putney Swope was playing on a monitor in the background. The copyright violations were too many to mention. It had bootleg cartoons, and stolen pop art. I would probably get sued if the owners of the tv production company ever figure out who let us in the back door one Saturday night.

[W3WN]

honestly? not worth it. (unless you're producing your own stuff ... ).Yes, but how many of us look like Melissa Midwest? (AKA Gretchen)

[NQ6U]

Yes, but how many of us look like Melissa Midwest? (AKA Gretchen)

Exactly right. No one would pay to see me naked. More like the other way around, in fact.

Hey, that's it! Blackmail porn: Pay me twenty dollars now and I'll put my clothes back on!

Medical Marijuana grower? Legal in 2 states. Dispensary owner? Or, write for a mag like High Times...

If you will it, it will be.

'BSO....just get yourself to the closest Church of Scientology and become an auditor. They make BIG, BIG bucks!!!!

Most folks would really be surprised about how large the market for so-called "reality" (amateur) pr0n actually is.

One can watch the likes of Jesse Jane force her lines (or Peter North's...ummm...) so many times before the Plastic Fantastic sh!t gets downright boring. Producers know this and have capitalized on it.

As a friend of mine once said, "No pot so crooked there ain't a lid to fit it somewhere!"

Yep—Famous Truck Driver's School. Check out my avatar, in fact.

I tried to get paid to kill zombies once. It was suggested that I become a game tester. The problem is that I want to kill real zombies. I dont think they will pay me to whack politicians though. o0

Okay so they are not zombies either but the point is that sometimes what you love to do isnt feasible as a work opportunity.

[W1GUH]

Your timing is exactly right. There's an opening for a top-paying, high-profile job...

Tiger has fired his caddy, and there are no current candidtes for the job:

Steve Williams on Tiger Woods: ‘I’ve wasted two years of my life’ (http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/devil_ball_golf/post/Steve-Williams-on-Tiger-Woods-8216-I-8217-ve?urn=golf-wp3957)

Kid down the street became an ordained minister online when he was 18. Just goes to show you.

Yea, why start one when you can just co-opt and pervert an existing one? Why upset the trend?

Okay, I'm thinkin' big here: Church of Rome. I think Pope Carl I has a nice ring to it, don't you?

[ki4itv]

But can we trust you as the island pope?
It doesn't pay much, although it might look good on your papal resume.

[K7SGJ]

I got a couple of 40 gb hard drives you can have for MASS STORAGE.

You can trust me at least as far as you can trust Pope Adolph Benedict XVI.

So, when does the white smoke go up to signify my election? I've got a lot work to do, converting all you Island Heathens to the Church of Carl.

[W5RB]

So, when does the white smoke go up to signify my election?

4:20 tomorrow afternoon , I'd bet .

Do you have to wear a condom with that?

[W5RB]

Do you have to wear a condom with that?

I would think that look alone would prevent any possibility of risky contact.

[N6YG]

Of course he wasted his life: He was a caddy :lol:

You do realize that as a caddy for Woods, Mr. Williams earned millions! I wouldn't call that a wasted life would you ? lets see he gets to walk around some of the worlds most famous and prestigious golf courses and rub noses with the rich and famous. And all he's got to do is carry a bag of clubs, fend off the media and the fans. And in the process he gets to make a few million...

Hmm I don't know about you but his job sounds like a hell of a lot more fun then sweating it out in rush hour traffic waiting to get to work so you can push a pencil 80 hours a week hoping that someday you might be able to save enough for a down payment on a piece of crap cookie cutter house...

[W1GUH]

Wonder if he ever got sloppy seconds?

I consider your biggest life accomplishment being that you carried another guy's golf clubs to be a waste. Irrespective of pay.

[W1GUH]

Why do you hate America? The ONLY officially sanctioned measure of "useful" and "success" is how much $$$$ you accumulate. You must be a commie pinko!

(Total sarcasm)

[W3WN]

Wonder if he ever got sloppy seconds?I hope if he did, he was wearing protection.

Hmmm. One wonders if there is a medical reason behind Tiger's recent golf difficulties... if (in context) you get my drift...
