Why do you want 30 thousand dollars?

Posted by whizkide [send private reply] at April 14, 2003, 07:26:20 PM

maybe to pay off my tuiton and i got $10000 woth of scholarships to cover all the other crap

Posted by ItinitI [send private reply] at April 14, 2003, 10:17:55 PM

Why do you need that ammount for tuition within 6 monthes? I thought people generaly take several years to pay off tuition and school loans.

Ask for 1 dollar from everyone on the internet in exchange for you never posting another message on a message board ever again

I know someone bought a pill for 10000 USD because they thought it would cure them from the millenium bug.

They give out scholarships to people who do not write in full?

"ps please everyone else should be smarter than Redx"

Seriously if I knew a way of getting $30k, do you think I would tell anyone about it? h*ll, I would use it and get some extra cash myself.

"anywayz, i need ideas not questions on why i need the money"

hmm, sounds like you need to pay off your crack dealer or something. Well, I can imagine he doesn't like getting too much publicity.

Posted by ItinitI [send private reply] at April 15, 2003, 12:19:27 PM

Alrighty... no more questions. You could:
-put up a site saying you need money for your child who has cancer [ya, pretty cruel].
-put your head up for advertising on eBay
-Sell Jordans, Kicks, Jacbos, ect [Iv heard it's quite lucrative... (^_^)]
-Get a job might help too...
-Find a wealthy friend or realtive
-Consolidate your outstanding debt.

-Become a Professional, it has a large initial pay out for the equipment, but the pay money you could make would far out do 30000USD [BTW, are you talking 30000USD or 30000AUD??]

Posted by CViper [send private reply] at April 15, 2003, 02:07:35 PM

Hell, if you find a way to rise $ 30k in 6 months, make sure to document it and tell me later!

Otherwise you could always break into fort knox... I've heard that they've got quite alot stuff collectiong dust there :p

Posted by ItinitI [send private reply] at April 15, 2003, 02:45:12 PM

Hahaha, that's probly a friggan lie!! I don't think they have much if any tehre any more!!
The USD is floating, it's not backed by gold anymore. :p

I read a magasine last week (FHM UK) that sold a bucket of normal water of ebay for ?142 (Thats $200 approx). Sell sx hundred buckets of water and you may just get rich.

Posted by ItinitI [send private reply] at April 15, 2003, 03:42:20 PM

I think someone sold a halg eaten sandwich on eBay once...

The US has put out some nice sized bounties for certain people they're looking for in Middle Eastern areas-- so migth want to take advantage of that. (^_^)

I'm sure you'll reach your 30000k in no time.

I'd just like to decree that I believe this to be the stupidest, least interesting thread to read in the history of TPU. If that's not enough for you, I'd like to remind you that we used to have a Mac forum. That was more interesting than this thread.

Posted by RedX [send private reply] at April 16, 2003, 09:31:04 AM

Mac Forum? Please, for god sake, let him mean a MacDonalds forum.

Posted by gian [send private reply] at April 16, 2003, 06:42:56 PM

Yes. Corporate sponsorship from an ultra-greasy food chain would go down well with Mr. Vegan Psion.

Posted by regretfuldaydreamer [send private reply] at April 17, 2003, 06:04:52 AM

Psion is a vegan?

Posted by Psion [send private reply] at April 17, 2003, 08:45:22 AM

He wants to be, and hopefully will be soon after he moves to Berkeley, where he can shop only at vegan stores, etc.. It's too hard at the moment, living near places that don't really care if their products contain animal ingredients, so I just do my best for now.

Posted by gian [send private reply] at April 17, 2003, 09:09:21 AM

He will also attempt to stop speaking in the third person, whenever possible.

Posted by regretfuldaydreamer [send private reply] at April 20, 2003, 10:01:20 AM

Why be vegan?

Posted by CViper [send private reply] at April 20, 2003, 05:03:49 PM

My thoughts exactly.

Since apparently you can't be bothered to search for information: http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/

Posted by CodeRed [send private reply] at April 20, 2003, 06:11:25 PM

Blah, I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to eat leaves and bark. Besides, those plants have feelings too, why not just eat dirt, that isn't alive, worms eat it, you could probably live off it.

Posted by stilldo [send private reply] at April 21, 2003, 02:17:37 PM

idea i just came up with after watching "full monty":

start a strip joint! 5 hunks will net you way more than $30k, plus you get to tend bar all night and nick the drinks you feel are necessary

...plus you get a front row seat for free...

Posted by whizkide [send private reply] at April 21, 2003, 02:25:09 PM

ill probabbly sell my dick on ebay. ok a strip joint might work out quite fine. you know , payoff a couple of cops and ur in business. But the biggest prospect is Iraq. I could go try to catch Saddam and sell him to the Coalition for a fortune. keep those ideas rolling boyz

Posted by stilldo [send private reply] at April 21, 2003, 02:36:04 PM

...or maybe you could become a lord? tobacco tycoon?

Posted by CodeRed [send private reply] at April 21, 2003, 02:45:58 PM

"or maybe you could become a lord"

There's an idea, become a god to millions of Asians, they'll worship anything

Posted by taubz [send private reply] at April 21, 2003, 04:13:30 PM

You don't actually need to become the god. Plenty of people have run scams claiming they know the true religious path....

Yeah, the Catholics know all about that one.

I'm sorry, that was a cheap shot.
