buy burro a belt

[burrocrat]

well this is kind of discouraging because i saw a new vote but the dollar amount didn't increase. so that is seven folks now that wouldn't pee on me to put me out.

which is kind of a shame, because no matter if i dislike or like a person, i would still pee on them, whether they were on fire or not, it's just something a gentleman commits to do when he becomes a gentleman.

would it help if i offered an extra prize, like a selfie or something? i could wear my new belt, and my hat, and maybe an extra something to keep things modest? like a sock, like red hot chili peppers? would that get some contributions?

aahhh, the nuance and vagaries of the english language can sometimes lead to awkward situations...

for instance, if you walk into a sandwich shop and tell the gal at the counter "i'd like a tasty panini" she will list the specials of the day. but if you say "i hear you have a large tuna punani" her dad is going to fly over the counter and beat the chips out of you. be careful out there.

Amazing how much one letter of the alphabet can change fortunes.
Reminds me of the Black Angus sandwich incident at Quizno's years ago. A young man was our counter server, and took a particularly interest in how beautiful my blue eyes looked on that evening. He was flirting with me to the point where I'm seeing a Quizno's gift card in my future, or at the very least a discounted sandwich. Hey, I was going with the mood because 10% off is 10% off. I considered it a safe investment choice since there was a sandwich counter between us. Apparently, my wife and the other patrons, who he was completely ignoring, weren't as filled with the joy that comes from the acceptance of other's alternate lifestyle choices. She completely spoiled the romantic mood by placing our sandwich order in her most authoritative (and rather loud) voice. Her Chicken Carbonara order went off without a hitch. Her mispronunciation of my Black Angus sandwich order brought the entire sandwich line to tears with laughter. On subsequent visits to Quizno's she was content to remain in the car.
Still one of the single funniest moments in our 39 years of marriage. All over one little G.

Well, in the interest of full disclosure my wife's motto is "go big, or go home".
We were laughing at my granddaughters yesterday. They climbed on the 7' wide tube behind the pontoon yesterday, and Nana asked them, "You girls want the Pony, or the Bull"? In true Washington fashion they screamed "The Bull".
She was driving while re-hydrated. They should have opted for the Pony. They were off the tube more than on.
I love that woman.

well, obviously i misgauged the interest in helping my acquire my survival belt. i have really enjoyed all the participation and support, so thank you all that offered contributions or encouragement, but i think i will switch to plan d to get the belt. yes, the first three attempts through various means have failed, but i am not done yet. that is my belt. thanks.

well. hmmm.

buster, i did make fun of your watch collection because it seemed ostentatious to me, most cost more than my car and i can't wear a car around my wrist, even an angry ex girlfriend can't make me wear a car on my arm, and believe me she frikkin tried. i also realized it was something you care a lot about. i did buy a seiko field watch on your recommendation, and i did wear it for about three months. i enjoyed it, but decided watches were not my thing. i also have apologized for that at least a couple times and never made fun of watches again since. so that is what it is.

as for belts, if you watch (pun intended) the video you might recognize that where and what that guy is doing with that belt, time does not matter. but the belt does. to each their own. i would rather have a practical belt out in the country with no idea what exact time it is, than to be standing on a train platform staring at a masterpiece on my wrist with my drawers around my ankles. but again, to each their own.

peace. and thanks for the dollar.

Perhaps I was a little too harsh on you, but I was mostly funnin' with you...Yer right though, to each their own..I guess if you want to be prepared for a survival situation, the belt has everything but a roll of toilet paper..but that would be nice also for two reasons; one, the obvious, better than poison ivy leaves, and two, for kindling to start your signal fire with your fire starter rod and blade, to save your dumb ass for being lost in the woods in the first place.....But if you plan on living like Mick Dodge, then yu'll need a few more tings.....But a more resourceful means of paying for the belt would be advisable besides begging for help...See how ole Mick does it..just saying, "Get on the Ball"

Good luck
