I can be bought. Make me an offer.
There's been some speculation here about posters who get paid.

I just wanted to let you all know that I am for sale.

Has there ever been a thread that you wanted to see but didn't feel like starting yourself for some reason?

Tell me what it is and I'll be glad to post it for you . . .

If the price is right :evilgrin:

10. 2 bits = $0.25
During the colonial days, people used coins from all over the world. The most commonly used coin was the Spanish milled dollar. When our nation adopted an official currency, the Spanish Milled Dollar was chosen, and it later became the model for American silver dollars.

The Spanish milled dollars were easily cut apart into equal "bits" of 8 pieces. One "bit" would be equal to 1/8 of a dollar, and 2 bits would equal 2/8 (or 1/4 - a quarter of a dollar). So, it is easy to see why the coins were called "pieces of eight", and "2 bits" was commonly used to refer to 25 cents.

11. My kid has about 30 bucks in change in her Unicef box.
I think the poor children of the world don't really need those 30 clams, so, how about it? Am I the highest bidder?
