lol gbx the first post was always 2 b fanciful at best reflecting futile mood

engage lonely ppl in conversation

aren't you doing science journalism?

i know ;)

people get paid to converse with lonely people - though often they have to do more than just converse.

one thing that maybe does not deserve remuneration is writing articles, spreading free information...which puts the screws on me as journalist

if the articles are being purchased as part of a critical discourse, then perhaps this deserves remuneration

write white papers instead

wait - i'm confused - is this thread about things you can do that you deserve to be paid for ... or things you can do that you could get paid for?

things that i could do which would deserve payment

work at a YOUTH CENTRE

i think you deserve payment for some of your ilx posts which have brought people countless minutes of entertainment.

just received a phone call from my cell phone company telling me my bill is past due. The caller had a very nice British accent. I think you would do well in this field.

this job is called photo assistant and its sort of sweet - its pretty much exclusively for aspiring pro photographers tho

i knew a guy that was a photo assistant and he ended up on morning talk shows because of something he did on a shoot he was on.

ilx contributor acoleuthic i think i could scare up a few bucks if u want 2 come over and finish painting my living room

alternately i keep seeing ppl drinking champagne outside a gallery near my house that has nothing but dismemebered mannequins standing around and walls covered in slogans printed on a dot matrix printer

so maybe start selling vintage dot matrix printers u score on ebay/through estate sales/gov't auctions to artists

the front bumper of my car is damaged - L0uis, if you can fix it, I'd gladly pay you.

If you wear that all red ensemble when you do this, and maybe have some kind of all red super-vehicle, then it might not be long before the police pay you not to do it.

^^ is this something i have no clue what you're referring to because I almost never look at the WDYLL threads?

Yes.

this is not making me want to start looking at the WDYLL threads.

lj is our own, red, greenman

was it like Santa-style long underwear?

To save you from looking, it was a pic of LJ wearing a red jersey, red jeans, and a pair of red sneakers, all the exact same shade of red.

And the picture was taken on a tube train that was strangely devoid of any other passengers.

so lou jag maybe try working as a style consultant?

thank you for saving me from that. The boy might want to look into investing in plaid.

(xpost) Yeah, all he'd need would be a sign around his neck saying "WEAR THE EXACT OPPOSITE TO ME" (j/k)

yeah, but why would anyone pay for that?

LJ yer moms baggin on you dude

i'm still his mom?

what a cruel thing to say

i figured that when that other thread got locked, i was absolved of my maternity.

ilx contributor acoleuthic i think i could scare up a few bucks if u want 2 come over and finish painting my living room

this offer is still open

i will have a living room that needs painting in about a month and a half. Maybe we can coordinate the scheduling of this, Lamp?

i am not paying for you to paint my landlord's house, but i will maybe think of something else.

"what can i do that deserves retribution" thread y/n?

stay up all night staringintospace fro starters

yeah, pondering what work you could find for an oxbridge graduate to do about the house, if you could afford to pay such a character in the first place, when you have to drive through a flood region in 5 hours for work is probably asking for trouble.

hahaha i hadn't seen this thread after i last posted

bookmarks - dude - bookmarks

lj--make bookmarks for a kindle--make a million dollars (pounds)

lamp if u spot me the airfare i will apply dabs of paint tastefully 4 ur pleasure

^^ does not sound like he knows the first thing about painting rooms.

u apply dabs of paint tastefully until the room is 40% more fun than it used to be

wrong - you use a roller and apply paint evenly; you use a brush to smooth and create an even coat in corners, near fixtures and outlets, and along the edges where the roller would bump into things.

u apply dabs of paint tastefully until the room is 40% more fun than it used to be

Trans= "i apply paint to my naked body and wiggle around the room, throwing myself against the walls until the room looks 40% more painted"

u think a bro who worked in a decorator's merchant's warehouse doesn't know what stupple is i mean heavens come on

i just think lamp is a joyful dabs kinda dude

he said tastefully, though

he said tastefully, though

consider the source

LJ - if you paint my living room - i want an even coat of flat white - no underpainting, joyful dabs, or faux texturizing, got it?

i cannot promise that there will not be a spray-on effect in places

then i will not pay you to paint my living room.

i will break in and paint it regardless

guerrilla painting

all will be lime green ochre and mauve

i would kill you.

with a hot pink motif in the corners

i would sue.

ur only allowed to sb these days sri

i will help sarahel track you down

ilx bounty hunters

for emotional distress - i want clean even white walls to hang art on. i am not going to ask my soon-to-be ex to do it, because the painting will be my version of a cleansing ritual to mark his exit from my apartment and life.
