do we have this bussiness :wink: through internet?
For example imagine someone comes in Pf and tell you a sad story about his situation and ask you to help him financially!and I'm sure our kind and nice moderators won't close his thread!do you think it's possible?
I know this idea is pretty silly because it came to my mind when I was half sleep,when usually lots of silly and funny ideas come to my mind.oh by the way,I'm not 1 of them because I prefer rubbery to beggary! :approve:

You prefer robbery to buggery?

rubbery not robbery!
 
:smile:
Yes, rubber is important nowadays..

maybe robbery need rubbery!
 
Everyone needs a good rub now and then, even Rob, so yes, I agree with you.
 
Hm, it was the buggery part that caught my eye. I guess rubbery and buggery go hand-in-hand. :wink:

Wait, I didn't say that. It was my evil twin, Thorn. :devil: I can't help it, every Rose has its Thorn, as I'm sure you all know.

If someone opened a thread asking for money, I don't care what kind of sob story they post, I'd delete it.

What about if someone asked for money in a thread which had already been started?

We all know about displaced Nigerian royalty and how they are forced to live in a shoe-box.
They can stay there for all I care.

Alright, ok.

Since having developed a sense of self-awareness seven years ago, I have been on a quest to find the origins of my existence. Having never had any parents, or details about my upbringing, I yearn to discover my roots. Every search yet has proven fruitless, except for one recent lead which suggests that I might not have ever been born, but created in a secret genetics research base, located suspiciously close to Moonbear's house. I won't bore you with the details, but it seems that someone was involved in a trial donkey/frog crossbreeding project around the time I was created, and accidentally allowed the products of her study to be released into a small swamp behind the local Mc Donalds. I have abnormally large thighs, and webbed feet, yet my mane is almost as impressive as my ability to carry heavy loads over long distances. These details, combined with my lust for Big Macs and swampy marshland, have led me to believe that Moonbear may be the closest thing I have to a parent. However, I was accidentally removed from her area by a dog warden, and shipped to Chile, where I am trying to raise funds to buy my air-fare back to Moonbearsville.

I would very much appreciate it if you would all dig deep into your pockets and throw any loose change at my feet.

  • #23

:rolleyes: Yeah, that's it, I had to sell it to visit my sons. Oh, folks, when sending money, remember that one of those sons lives closer to Euro Disney, so I have to get there. :wink:

(I'll bring back my other avatar soon; I just needed to change into this one while defending jellitivity, but to be honest, it's rather damp and slimey and doesn't smell very good, so I'll be changing back into the warm, fuzzy avatar very soon.)
 
  • #33
Congratulations!I think 1 of your sons is coming back from the other world to meet you!(our beloved franzbear!)

Attention everyone!

Why not borrow some money and then brainwash the peron you borrowed it from to not remember lending it to you?

Hmmm.. that's not good Moonie. Do you perhaps have a tendency to black out and not remember what you've been doing? Maybe you sleep walk? Or maybe these guys are just having particularly sweet dreams?
