how can i make money...
 
...without working?

There's selling plasma, old books/cds/dvds. Any other suggestions? Any place online to make a quick buck?

hawk all your shit on the street

peddle the ass that god gave you
learn to play pool real well

Rob Instigator 05.21.2008 11:52 AM

if you learn to play pool real well, you should also learn how to whup ass real well too

Rob Instigator 05.21.2008 12:01 PM

never sign anything for money

jon boy 05.21.2008 12:06 PM

go on the rock n roll or pretend to have been the victim of some cruime and get the compensation. where theres blame theres a claim, as the young folks say.

gmku 05.21.2008 12:06 PM

um, there's always the street corner... actually that's work, isn't it.

I don't know. I don't think you can make money without working. Even crime takes work. Even taking your ass down to the plasma center is work.

My God, you're lazy.

Release fake wolf eyes albums limited to one copy.. no one would know the difference since they have 300 albums.

Sell sperm.

Do internet surveys.

jon boy 05.21.2008 12:10 PM

trying to make money not working is as hard as having a job, you may as well just bite the bullet.

All of that is work.

word.

get a job at K-mart and then slack off in the break room all day. At least they'll owe you for whatever time you punched in before they fire you.

atsonicpark 05.21.2008 12:15 PM

My suggestions aren't any more work than "Selling plasma, selling dvd's", etc. that he listed above.

In my twenties, I briefly worked for a few months at what I consider to be one of the world's most difficult jobs. I was a certified nursing assistant in a retirement home.

At the time, I had three part-time jobs.

The thing is though, these places will always more-or-less hire you.
And it's my understanding that the majority still offer paid training with no commitment. You may have to wait until they are doing another training.

You'll just sit around in a room for several hours a day for a week or two and be instructed and then tested on basic first aid and basic nursing skills. It's a cinch. Actually working in one of those places, however, is not easy. It takes a "special breed," I suppose.

Collect your training wages and then just tell them that you've decided it's not for you once you've been out on the floor.

Work as a model in an art college. It doesn't matter how you look like and you can just sit on a chair naked for a couple of hours with your testicles hanging from it.

mangajunky 05.21.2008 12:24 PM

Travel the country bumming off people. Keep visiting friends. You'll bring happiness to their lives providing you don't freeload for too long.
There's the rub. You need to learn how to be a joy and not a burdon.

atari 2600 05.21.2008 12:24 PM

True, I remember one life drawing model that looked like a female version of
Leonid Brezhnev.

 

atsonicpark 05.21.2008 12:25 PM

Weird, pork, my friend is in art school and he suggested that idea to me about 2 days ago. Since I have no problem getting naked and it pays $9 an hour... that'd be great!

atsonicpark 05.21.2008 12:26 PM

I'm actually thinking of doing it, I guess the "teacher" in that class plays all kinds of cool music in his classroom. He was playing Sir Richard bishop the other day. Crazy.

sarramkrop 05.21.2008 12:27 PM

There were always adverts on the wall at college looking for models and offering good hourly rates for what isn't hard work. A bit boring, perhaps, but not hard.

A friend of mine sometimes does casual day jobs appearing as an extra on tv commercials and that sort of stuff. They employ any sort of people and all you have to be is available for 1/2 days work at a time.

uhler 05.21.2008 12:58 PM

how much do you get for selling sperm and plasma?

i prefer to just work than waste my time on trying to think up of how i could get money for not doing anything.

copper 05.21.2008 01:12 PM

you can sell semen.

DeadDiscoDildo 05.21.2008 01:13 PM

learn to play cards real well too, cantankerous you always forget that tip

:-P

or yeah, sell your 'special men'

here plasma is $100 the first two times you do it and then $50 after that I think. I've gone in there many times but I always come when they arent needing new donors or the slots are filled for the day. Don't know if there is a sperm bank here.

Bootlegging noise tapes isnt a bad idea if you have no aversion to the ethical issues. Go for the 80's and 90's stuff though, it will sell for alot more than Wolf Eyes stuff. I've seen New Blockaders and Skin Crime tapes go for $200 bucks on ebay, way more than that for Sutcliffe Jugend, and Broken Flag and other Power Electronics stuff.

I'd say find a good talent and do it on the street, be creative.

Cantankerous 05.21.2008 01:29 PM

pimp hoes
sell drugs
rob banks

numerous roundabout ways to make money

sarramkrop 05.21.2008 01:34 PM

One of the best jobs I've eve heard of is walking rich people's dogs.

gmku 05.21.2008 01:47 PM

We're still talking about work though. There's no getting around that. Even a bank heist is a "job."

Rob Instigator 05.21.2008 02:05 PM

depending on tyhe state.
Texas does not pay for blood
I donate every 3 monhs though

and to donate semen, you have to go through a quite lengthy process, wherein they check your background, health, etc. plus tests to measure your IQ, your fitness.
basically they really like tall, fit, blonde men with 6 figure salaries.

Were you trying to make that Nirvana quotation look like it was your own or was it meant as a reference? Of course now that I've discovered you, you'll say it was the latter.:D

Rob Instigator 05.21.2008 04:38 PM

what is this "Nir-vana" you speak of?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.22.2008 02:05 AM

No such thing as free money. Leaning over to pick up pennies is work.

here's a financial plan for you

1) sell your sperm. of course with your tendencies you might get little money for your shot but eh, you can make some money.

2) with the spunk proceedings, buy yourself a saturday night special. attempt a bank robbery. try not getting shot.

3) spend a few years in prison courtesy of the taxpayers. you get room and board, cable tv, and gym privileges. what's not to like?

alternatively, you could stay a baby and suck at your parents' financial tits for life.
