She is doing that, as well as on Facebook. Opportunistic wench, and I say that lovingly.
No, if she wins, I am determined to eat an actual shoe, ala the Herzog video. With the abundance of toxic chemicals in some shoes, I would do research first so as not to inadvertently kill myself, but I would definitely eat a real shoe of my foot size.
And for the record, she was an English major, and I’m talking 4K after taxes. Any move to a different city would take away from that 4K, although I’d be willing to compromise if she really was ballsy enough to do that.
I thought hats were the traditional dish of losing bets.
I doubt you will lose, Autolycus, but in case you do, I hope your shoes are not very big.
Are you saying that I’m like a schmoo in that I’d happily immolate myself out of love for this girl, or that I need to capture a schmoo and eat it because they look like a shoe?
Both are true I guess
I don’t know why you couldn’t earn $4,000 in a month if you worked two jobs. Don’t think it’s worth it just to see someone eat a shoe though.
And you never told us if she has to do anything if you win. Sex? Is it sex?
She has a BF, so I doubt that. He’s not my type either, so a three-some would be pushing it. I’m not bi, but I mean there are some men that a straight guy could tolerate ya know?
No, right now we’re talking about her cooking a traditional Vietnamese meal for me (She’s Vietnamese.)
Ah. Easy, then.
Cook the shoe with traditional Vietnamese spices. That way, it doesn’t matter who wins.
Sadly, I have nothing to add to this thread.
Here is her thread asking for donations :smack::
Well, the thread was there. I guess the mods decided it went against the ‘no soliticing’ rule. Well, I guess you’ll have to PM me or her, oobleck, if anyone wants more details.
Damn straight it was against the rules. YOU should know better, even if she doesn’t. Did either of you ask for permission first?
bbs2k, YOU should know better than to suggest it. I’m not handing out any warnings THIS time, but I am going to give all of you a very dirty look. :mad::mad::mad:
It’s ooblek! And sorry that thread was full of fail. I should have read the rules. But anyway, I’m really determined to win. >< So any help is appreciated!
::gives a sheepish look:: Sorry Lynn, and to beebs and ooblek.
I vote for this one. While someone mentioned Charlie Chaplin’s GOLDRUSH for a literal shoe-eating, but in your circumstance, there is a wonderful short story by G K Chesterton – I forget the title, and I forget the collection it’s in. possibly from The Man Who Knew Too Much (1923) (no relation to the Hitchcock movies) – but the story is about a man who one morning walks out of his house with a cabbage on his head. His friends think he’s gone balmy, he refuses to talk about it, but wears it for the entire day. Natch, the punch line is that he had lost a bet that he would “eat his hat”, so he wore the cabbage so that it would count as his hat.
Duck Man: “My word. Here’s a whole roast pig! And a big dish of roast potatoes, miraculously uncracked! And … look … isn’t this caviar in the jar? Asparagus! Potted shrimp! My goodness! What were we going to have for Hogswatch dinner, Arnold?”
Arnold Sideways: “Old boots.”
Duck Man: “Just old boots?”
Arnold Sideways: “Oh, no. Stuffed with mud, and with roast mud. 's good mud, too. I bin saving it up.”
Duck Man: “Now we can have a merry feast of goose!”
Arnold Sideways: “All right. Can we stuff it with old boots?”
