Check your privilege.
No shit.
Obviously, it's an exaggeration to highlight how much it now costs to furnish a house now. Especially with mattress and bed prices. Home remodeling in general, yikes it's expensive.

Futon, more precisely. I'm sure that's what Margot is used to.

Sofa $2k.
Accent chair $1000 x 2.
TV stand $1000.
Coffee table $1000.
End tables $500 x 2.

I figured you couldn't include lamps and rugs in furniture but that's all pretty good furniture and it's under 7500.

bean bag chairs: 2x $60
Lava lamps: 2x $40


That leaves like a $7300 budget for hawklin’s posters.

and that’s assuming you go to hot topic and buy new bean bags and lava lamps, instead of just going for the second hand score.

Mattresses are insanely priced. It's why the mattress-in-the-box places killed it for a short time (and is now oversaturated). Tangent: Mattress Firm has to be a front for money-laundering.

But all furniture now outside of Ikea. Restoration Hardware seems like the middle-class "I've made it" statement. You can easily get into the 4 or 5 grand number for a sectional there.

Oh! And I’ll answer the questions

1. Just buzz my whole head and beard like once every couple weeks
2. I low key go nuts when people slurp or chomp their drinks/food. Also lightning
3. Tiger. Then pee on joe exotic
4. Some 12 hour block on Tuesdays
5. KU courtside for the elite 8 could be once in a lifetime, but unlimited back massages could be a twice (or more) a day for 2 years thing without ever getting old, I’m going with it

I went into an Ethan Allen once. Nearly shit my pants when I saw their prices. Some of the brands were the same ones other places carry too. I don't get it.

1. About once every 6 weeks or so; buzz cut myself and have my wife check out the trims in the back of the head.
2. Nothing comes immediately to mind
3. Wolf or gorilla
4. Sat 10 am - 10 pm
5. Europe (massage is a second choice). "Just dinner" doesn't seem too appealing. I am sure I can replace someone on my "freebie list"** with either of the two.

What if you could have 5a, b, c, d, e and g.
OR 12 hours with Margot Robbie at any moment in your life ( so she teleports in time and space to where you are when and where you want that to be ) where she thinks you are the hottest dude she's ever seen.

For 12 months or even 12 weeks I’d consider it. But 12 hours doesn’t offset the other options. Who knows I might encounter another very attractive lady during one of the other 5 a-e, g activities, and be with her for a lot longer than 12 months

Well - do all 12 hours have to be spent at once???

12 hours divided by 30 seconds at a time equalsss...

It has to be 12 hours all at once, right from the moment you meet her in your time/space bubble.
And if you choose that, where and when in your life is your time/space bubble?
