LOL...My sister just married a guy who was wearing DMs (although admittedly not the boots)...And he had a nice suit. So that's alright.

Did she marry him because of his DM's, that is the question?

Essay: I Like Pie

I like pie, not only for its taste, but also for its texture. However, in modern society, mass consumer oriented marketing schemes have precipitated the tendency of sugar and pastry based confectionary towards sogginess. Some pie is still nice though.

Conclusion: Mmmm, pie.

@Frogus: So you would eat a soggy pie if I paid you enough ?

Depends on the sog-firmness ratio, the angle of the dangle and the square of the hypotenuse. But probably, yeah.

What would I do for money? Provided you don't mean "having to earn money to save up for the life saving heart surgery I can only have in the expensive private German clinic", I must say - nothing really. I don't do anything for money only, not things I wouldn't have done otherwise. When I was a teen, I used to have all sorts of jobs I really hated just to save up money for my travelling. I worked at a computer company, a mobile phone company, an advertising company - and I hated every second of it, I had anxiety almost every day when I went to work, and I was so bored and disgusted by the meaningless of it all. So I decided not to do things for money anymore, only do things I enjoy so much so I would like to do it anyway. That's they way it has been since I was 21, and that's the way I hope to keep it. As long as I have somewhere to live, food, and money enough to travel every now and then (travel can be fairly inexpensive nowadays) I don't care as much about money as I care about enjoying my life and spend time on things I find fun or meaningful.

What would I do for money; its depends on how much I already have.

Really, few things. I give more importance to my patience, tranquility, serenity, fun, than I give for money. Luckly I am. It's a great priviledge to choose what you are going to do and when you like to do. But also can make us indolent( What i'm suspecting that I am). How it would be if things were diferent? I will not quest the destiny or fatalities. And I'm certanly that personal moral/ethics are both very relatives and especially linked to your life conditions.
Now I'm feeling like hypocrital joker laughting at his own luck.

Anyway, I think wouldn't do nothing I don't like for money.

But just to be sure. Of how much we are talking about?

Lets say for a couple of million dollars, would you do things you despise for that amount?
