if you havent seen the press releases, and all the media hype about this, you're behind in the times :biggrin:

(well, if you havent kept up, first read the column down the left side of the website)

My god thats crazy. Watch that dude get a house in abotu a year too.

 

[Jacob]

That's absolutley nuts. He will be getting his house sooner or later, and probably something better. Crazy.

 

[Cynical]

Last time I saw this he was about to get his snowmobile... I'm glad to see he's still going through with it!

 

[Spartan Erik]

yeah if you check on the current offers, tons of people are offering him things for that apartment with one year rent and arizona diamondback baseball tickets

so far, someone is offering a summer in hollywood (house and convertible porsche included), a japanese stripper is willing to give him 24 hours of lap dancing :bowrofl:, and a guy is willing to give him his 1991 chevy blazer low rider

The Chevy is junk. The lapdance would get boring. Take the summer in Hollywood!

Just read the whole site this is awesome.

 

[Nathan]

Does he get to keep the Porsche?

 

[Spartan Erik]

Does he get to keep the Porsche?

doubt it. the hollywood offer lasts for three months.. three months with the apartment, porsche, etc
after that he'll be back to square one with a red paper clip
or maybe.. a BLUE paperclip...

Wanted to update everyone about this; it's been several months and he has finally met his goal!

He has finally traded up for a house! Pretty amazing what you can do with the internet nowadays...

 

[Cynical]

Rather ballsy of him to invite everyone that reads his blog to his house...

Im sure everyone lives in Kipling eh? I would think a house warming party is in order and everyone should be invited for making it happen.

I guess Kipling is now semi-famous
