Ooh, the deadline is fast approaching. I want to stay, really I do. I’ll pay the five bucks and everything! But I don’t have a credit card (because, really, when you’re as irresponsible as I am…) and I really, really don’t want to use PayPal. I promise, if you email me your mailing address, I will send you a five dollar bill/money order/personal check, whatever. I’ll even send it Next Day, if you want me to! I’ll pay you back, **I swear**!

Just, please, don’t make me use PayPal! ☹

The charity of others convinces me to do the same. I’ll be glad to help you out.

Is there anyway to combine this thread with the super-active ATMB thread of the same nature?

Coldie? Cajun? Anyone? :o

Lucky for you you didn’t post there in the first place. I haven’t read that thread and thus you wouldn’t be benefiting from the **Johnny Bravo Memorial Straight Dope Scholarship**.

(I suppose it would be more accurate to call it **The Johnny Bravo Memorial Straight Dope Student Loan** ).
