So there's this "Ten Characters I wouldn't Sleep With, Even if You Paid Me" meme going around. I thought about it. But here's the thing.

I can't do that list.

Because, really, how much money? There's any number of people I don't find attractive and am actively repulsed by on any number of different levels. But I can't throw out the possibility that lots of things are negotiable.

Just really highly priced. So, for example, I'm not prepared to declare with certainty that I absolutely would not sleep with - for example - The Golden Girls. Bea Arthur's really not my speed, but what if they backed the Brink's Truck up to my driveway?

For $50 Million, I would totally nail Dorothy Zbornak.

It's likely I would too.

$50 Mil could pay for a whole lot of Bar-Mitzvahs.

And that new campus center that I donated would likely make getting into college a snap.

you bring to mind the Simpsons episode where Homer joins a cult and they promise all kinds of wonderful things, but he has to stop drinking:

cult member -- would you rather have beer, or complete and total contentment?
homer -- what kind of beer?

the moral is, never make a choice before all the facts are in front of you.

Ahahahahahaha!!!

Hold out for the keys to that bad boy and see if they'll throw in Blanche. I bet she's a hell-cat.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 17:45 (UTC)
Bwah! Good point. So let's put a dollar cap on that, and say if you were paid $500.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 21:31 (UTC)
$500 isn't really enough to impact my preferences. I'm a high dollar ho.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 18:05 (UTC)
That's strangely honest of you. :)
Friday, May 19th, 2006 21:30 (UTC)
Hey. Or possibly thanks.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 18:09 (UTC)
You're such a man.

Which is a big relief to you, I'm sure :)
Friday, May 19th, 2006 21:25 (UTC)
You're such a man.

Hey now. I didn't say I'd do it for free.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 18:19 (UTC)
What about Sophia Petrillo?
Friday, May 19th, 2006 21:27 (UTC)
No. Actually, I'll change that to a yes because she's feisty. Let's say $10 Million maybe...
Friday, May 19th, 2006 18:37 (UTC)
I'd do her for only a million. Andy Sipowicz, on the other hand, would probably take ten or twenty times as much

We could make a game out of it like name that tune, except that I would lose because my price is higher.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 19:04 (UTC)
About you and all of the Golden girls and the East European women's weight-lifting team isn't true?

For free?
Friday, May 19th, 2006 19:13 (UTC)
Hell, I'd do Bea for $10 million.

Guess I'm cheap.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 21:30 (UTC)
Not cheap. Just cheaper than me.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 19:14 (UTC)
HAH! And I agree, totally. It's all a question of how MUCH money would it take. I may be a woman, but I'm practical.
Friday, May 19th, 2006 21:30 (UTC)
"I may be a woman" 'splainy? Didn't know that women were somehow any more or less practical than men. Or any more or less willing to perform unpleasant tasks when offered ludicrous amounts of money.

Well, you know how it is. Worldwide double-standard and all. A guy says that, it's one thing. A woman says it and it's generally cast in a different light.

And I can't believe I'm making this traditional argument, because it's not the kind of world I live in now. And most people we know on LJ wouldn't perceive it that way. But it is the world I grew up in.

Sociological regurgitation doesn't taste very good, in retrospect.

I can understand that. Then again, the world I grew up in, nobody talked about sex at all in front of the kids so its exceedingly weird to hear anyone of my parents age group talking about sex now.

Call me a whore, but -- ditto.

I mean, hello. Setting yourself up for life. Never having to worry about anything financial again. Doing good with the money, providing for friends and family -- all for, what, one possibly unpleasant night? How many one-night-stands does the average person end up having they wish they could take back? At least you'd get a hell of a lot more out of it than *just* a night of unpleasant memories.

For fifty million, I'd totally do Duncan Kane. And I hate Duncan Kane.

If he weren't so dull, you could have Teh Hatesex.

Hee. I love you, Dave.

You do the post with helpful pictures. I go for the silly truth...
