Now that I have your attention, I must reiterate my recent plea: I missed last week's KOTH, and I desperately need someone to provide me with a videotape of it, which I will return promptly after viewing. Besides the obvious benefits to your karma, here's what else you stand to gain by helping me out:
1) $20 -- I'll send ya a crisp, new twenty dollar bill when I return the tape to you (tape will be returned by insured mail no later than 3 working days after I receive it).
- Your choice of one of the following:
- a brand new pair of Levi's 505s, never worn, size 32w30i (don't fit)
- a large plaid flannel shirt, worn once (gift I can't return)
- a CD: Royal Trux "Twin Infinitives" (listened to once)
- a copy of Robert Bly's "Iron John" (never read --not by me anyhow)
(if none of the above sound particularly enticing to you, just name some things [including information or other abstract concepts] you want, and if I have it and can bare to part with it, it's yours.)
Well, OK, my means are humble, but that's the best I can do. Send me an e-mail if you're down. I'll give you my address. You put a tape in a box and put it in the mail --it'll cost ya all of two dollars or so. A few days later, you receive the same tape, twenty bucks, an item of your choice from the above list, and my sincere and undying gratitude. You ever need a favor, I'll owe ya.
Thanks a lot for hearing me out, and don't worry, I shan't clutter this newsgroup with this request again.
