I would pay good money for Bones to write a story just for me. Especially if it were to be donated to the upkeep of this site.
I would pay good money to be mailed Tater's red thong - and I wouldn't even fuss that it was obviously new (please god), as long as it was signed Wid' love, from yer Tater, or something of the sort.
What I'm getting at here, is that this is a golden opportunity for creative people to share a talent for the good of a site we want to see continue. Its important to put your money where your mouth is sometimes, it makes you value things more. They've done studies, its true!
One of my most treasured items is a comic book that Badgerbane penned and illustrated waaaay back in 1993. To this day it sits in its plastic wrap in my special place for secret treats. I would love to have the opportunity to add to my horde of treasure.
Imaginations could be used, if you could sing, you could offer a recording to auction, with hopefully naughty songs, but I'm just that way. If you could draw, you could offer a picture. If you're a funny person, you could offer to amuse the winner of your offering with a fun filled email a week for a month or two.
The list of possibilities is endless and unlimited. It could be a silent auction, with bids going to Slohand, so if it turned out that nobody really wanted Bourne's REALLY LARGE umbrella that I just sent over to his table (see some other thread for that reference ;p) then he wouldn't have to feel bad, not that a real barb's ego could be dented - and truly, I would buy Bourne's large umbrella if he'd circle a spot on it and say "Just for you China - I spit HERE". *laughs* Hmm... that's almost priceless.
So, I'm just brainstorming because thats what I like to do. Plus I know how much my little treasures mean to me, and I like to see creation. What do you think?
I have the last unused Merc Tshirt. It sits in a place of honor in my special treasure trove. It reads on the back:
The Merc World Domination Tour:
Yserbius 1991-1995 (Balor assured me 1991 was when he and AssassinTMG first thought up the Mercs while playing Red Baron - this was even before Yserbius was open)
Athas 1995-1997
Britannia 1997-1998
Coming soon to dominate a world near you...
www.themercs.org (and that website is DEFUNCT now, long story)
And on the front is the old Merc skull. With a TM through it.
I don't know if I could auction it.... but thats an example of a possibility.
OR...
I could do a calligraphied scroll of my translated EgoPrime's Patented Pulversizing Platitude formula. He did NOT trademark it, and I was the one that broke it down, so I don't see why I can't sell it to the highest bidder.
Think of what your grandchildren will ask upon finding these treasures in years to come? "So, grandpa, did you do alot of drugs?" - "No, Johnny, just a little troll weed and some blue glowy stuff.*
