$50 Essay

Post by Marvin D. »

I remember doing one of these, except for 10 dollars =P This time, you need to write a short essay telling me why you think you deserve $50! You can be serious, sad, jovial, snarky, stingy, whatever! \:D/

The only limitation is that you have to have at least 75 words. PM it directly to me, and I'll give you until January 7, 2012 to get your submissions in.

Our second place winner's entry was as follows:
$50 Essay
by snubs
50 dollars is 50 dollars more than one has…which can add up. Meaning, if I had the money, I would appreciate it and use it far more productively…then other people we know. :doubt: :D For example, I would first and foremost deposit the 50 dollars in the bank for safe keeping. Then, when I have acquired enough, I will use the 50 dollars given to me, and the rest of the money I accumulated, for various contests.

And if you are thinking what I think you may be thinking, no need to worry. Everyone knows I run the best contests around. :D Meaning, I am automatically qualified for the responsibility of owning 50 more dollars. :yes: Besides, who else is going to entertain the small minded, poor, helpless ToO’ers? :incnt: :D
$10 will be coming your way, snubs! ;D

We have an honorable mention, and here is this person's entry.
Why do I deserve $50? To be perfectly honest, I probably don't. We didn't pick you as a mod, I don't think your word was Adolf Hitler in Apples to Apples, and I have been nothing but rude, arrogant, and condescending to you at every turn. (Or maybe it was the other way around?) The only reason you might possibly have for giving me 50 dollars is because I will use it to buy the Sarcastic Rule Book, which would hopefully begin to make me as awesome as you.
Let's hope that $5 will help you on the way to getting that book, Montykins.

And here are the remaining entries in no particular order :yes:

I would spend on shop items for the poor, or just donating to the newer members. I also need this money because I am desperately poor and have barely any money at all. I might also use it on some contest I might be running soon. Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeee give it to me.

You may lose it in the next 24 hours. Buh duh, buh duh, buh duh duhhh duh duh dududuu. You can't deny a poor :evil: what she needs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it, give it to me, GIVE IT! I deserve it, I need it, I WANT it! Gimme, gimme, GIMME! Watch for the red spider. WATCH FOR IT!!!!!!!!!! I NEED IT, VERY BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
