Sounds like someone is trying to scrape up money for a 6 of Newcastle Brown Ale. ---

Well, to steal a line from **jar** , colour me slow. Was there a thread I missed that would give a clue as to why **Cranky** needs $100? Or is this really and truly a random idea? ---

Did I say $100? I meant $1000! Cerowyn, Mr Cynical said in another thread that (paraphrasing here) there was “No thread that hadn’t been done before.” I said I was still waiting to see one where people were recruited to send me $100. So a moderator had to go make a liar out of me. Of course, if he makes me a RICH liar, all is forgiven. ---

I think I need the $100 more than **Cranky** does. At the very least, I’m sure I would enjoy it more. 😉 ---

I don’t have $100, Crankster, but you’re welcome to whatever leftover food is still sitting in my apartment right now. ---

Never mind **Cranky** and her $100 or $1000; who wants to send me a brand new computer system with all the trimmings? 😉 😛 Just kidding… this old, slow one does me just fine sometimes. **Cranky** , I don’t suppose you’d be interested in $100 Canadian, but you’re more than welcome to have a bunch of books I don’t read anymore; how’s that for a deal? 🙂 ---
