When Suicide Just Won't Do....

Takes a brave man to go that far outside his comfort zone. Infact, it takes a man with balls of steel to sell his comfort zone. I wonder how desparate the guy who wins the auction is. He is buying another person's friends for pete's sake. I wonder if the guy will keep in contact with his friends?

He won't. That's the point.

No wonder his friends are endorsing the deal; I wouldn't want to remain friends with someone who said "So hey, fuck off, I'm selling our friendship."

On another note, this is very cool in a weird sort of way. It's like a near-future sci-fi flash fiction or something.

Guess my glasses are smugged or something. I thought the topic was "Please Take My Wife!" or something...

HEY! i got a idea! what if this is like buying charators (example: Diablo 2: Expansion or Lvl 70 chara from WoW) from games? If his life/friends/sources of Clamidia are better than MINE, then it's a social upgrade, with out the power up effects!

What if we're ALL just avatars on Second Life... and once our profiles are sufficiently built up, we'll all be sold to other users?

If he were really selling his whole life, he wouldn't be going to see his mom. He's selling his house, his crap, and getting the winner a job interview. Nothing more.

I'm not sure I'd want to be friends with someone who whines as much as I imagine this guy does.

News flash: Assuming the above to be true, most people's users suck just as badly. In fact, I'm sure that most people's WoW or Second Life avatars suck, too. [Wink]

I tried WoW. Got bored to tears within 2 hours. Don't know how people *do* that all day. And I *love* fantasy RPGs. Tabletop, sure, but I figured it'd be up my alley anyway...

So his wife left him, his friends are happy to trade him for someone else and his employer is excited about him auctioning his job to some random rich person...bugger, what did this bloke do to deserve that kind of reaction?

Whined alot.

Sat around for a year bitching about how horrible his life was, I'd imagine, yep yep.

Maybe he moped, which can be worse than a whinney bugger, since you can tell the whinney puke to shut the hell up.

Here's how I see alot of his conversations going:

"Hey Jim! Wanna go grab a burger?"

"Oooh... I dunno. I really haven't felt like eating hamburgers since Margie and I broke up. We went to this great burger place on our first date. *starts to tear up* You know what, I'm gonna pass I think. I'll just sit here and eat my Raman noodles... by myself. That's really all I have left is these Raman noodles."

*repeat ad nausea for virtually every topic*

^ I can't seem to read that without hearing the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in my head. Quite appropriate, methinks.

I think I ought to tell you...I'm very depressed. And I'm selling my life. Life...don't talk to me about life...only two bids so far...
