I found a locked safe hidden at the back of a closet in my new house

This is like when I went to a dueling piano bar and they played Piano Man until people paid them to stop, then started again when other people paid them to.

repeat ad nauseum, which is pretty quick when Billy Joel music is involved

#PARTY AT ROB’S HOUSE

Why can’t we kickstarter or gofundme or indiegogo the $400 necessary to bust Rob’s safe wide open?

I am good for $20 $50! That’s only $350 remaining!

Bust Rob's Safe Wide Open

In order to open Rob’s safe I’ve started a gofundme campaign to raise that $400 for @beschizza and crack this godforsaken safe once and for all. https://www.gofundme.com/bust-robs-safe-wide-open Let’s make this happen, people! I’ve kicked it off by contributing $50 to get us started… every $ helps!

[daneel]

You really don’t like chatty threads, do you?

[Donald_Petersen]

I’ve kicked in. My only caveat is that if Rob receives substantially more than his $400 quote, he’s obliged to resort to cartoonishly over-the-top methods of busting this safe wide open. And either way, the bastard’s gotta film it and upload it.

Okay, that’s a couple of caveats.

Just $290 now!

Nah, if there’s extra money he should spend it on something cool he can pretend was inside the safe, so we won’t all be disappointed about it being empty.

[Donald_Petersen]

He should do that anyway, so we don’t all end up flipping over police cars and burning down convenience stores.

@XantheStone

But what if evil people like me pay him more not to open the safe?

at least until 2017. I’m all set with disappointment for 2016.

Although, once opened, it would make a fantastic place to keep the BB Strategic Disappointment Reserve.

Awesome idea. Someone should have mentioned that.

I’m in for 5 bucks.

You mean like @ChickieD who suggested this very thing back in March?

[XantheStone]

I think that’s the joke.

[Donald_Petersen]

Boy howdy, I hope so.

[XantheStone]

You and Craig Johnson (author of the Longmire) series are the only people I know who use Boy Howdy.

[Donald_Petersen]

Nah, just memory failure for me. I just remembered somebody had mentioned it a long-ass time ago, so I re-read from the goddamned top until I found it.

Toldja I was all out of comedy.

That’s some dedication there.

Yeah. I’ve seen Fuller House, too.

During the annual KTUH fund drive, they used to do this with the music of The Shags.
“Call now with a pledge to get us to take this off the air!” … until someone calls in with a larger pledge to put it back on.
