If you could buy what you are ...

[BlackShanglan]

I just watched an old Twilight Zone episode, "The Self-Improvement of Salvatore Ross." The neat premise is that a man discovers that he can trade any aspect of his personality or condition with other people (if they are willing). He can trade his broken hand for someone else's head cold, or buy a few years of youth from the bellhop, or trade his car for someone's Southern accent, fit physique, or sense of humor.

If you had the power, what would you buy? And from whom would you wish to buy it? If it makes the game easier, I don't mind assuming that you'd rather share it or duplicate it; I confess that my first thought was that I wouldn't want to buy anything from my friends, as then they wouldn't have it any longer. But if I could share, or better still, rent ... I think I would have to rent the dog's body for a day. *laugh* She looks like she has a lot of fun with it. And I wouldn't mind a permanent sharing arrangement for some of her energy!

I would buy or rent someone's ability to focus. ADD makes it difficult all the time, and impossible every once in awhile.

I'd gladly share my bitchiness.

 

[rgraham666]

Nothing I'm afraid. I've worked too hard and too long for what I've got to give it up, even for a while.

I'm a selfish bastard at heart.

I knew we shared a special bond. I'll rent you a few hours right after I take the Adderall.

I'd gladly share my bitchiness.

Just the thing for the next time I have the siblings over.

 

[DeeZire]

I'd like to trade sexes (and bodies) for a while, just to get a view from the other side. Not sayin' I'm gay...really! Just curious. Empathetic. Whatever.

I would do that for fun.

Hrm - I wonder what I could give up for a big whopping dose of self esteem? It would be expensive, but worth it. My hair?

As in, three years worth of naturally dun, yet shiny blonde, soft and curly and the ability to grow it that way. I'd be happy to trade that.

 

[Trombonus]

I'd willingly trade some of my cheerfulness. Not sure what I'd want in return. Make me an offer.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Just imagine what a boon this would be to relationships, romantic and otherwise. No more kids with ten times more energy than their mother; no more partners with a much higher sex drive then their SO's. There would be balance - or at least there could be, when someone needs a boost or a break.

 

[lesbiaphrodite]

I wouldn't buy anything, but I'd gladly donate some of my intellect to the morons who surround me just so as to make my life more interesting.

 

[jomar]

I would rent/trade for some energy, motivation and discipline. I've hit a bit of a lazy stretch.

Anybody in the market for allergies or that head cold? *cough, cough, achoo*

 

[Stella_Omega]

My next-door neighbour has a head of hair that is so thick you can only just see her scalp when you part it. I just know she'd be happy to donate about a third of it to me-- maybe even half!

In return I could give her... hmm. Some of my never-sunburn skin, perhaps. Or a spot of my ability to be lazy.

Hey, you can have my hair! I have too much of it.

I want some of that sexiness you're dripping with.

Oh, and anyone want some of my weight?

 

[Brute_Force]

I'd buy a nice portion of patience (of which I currently have none), along with some sensitivity (I can be a mean ass), and a hint of self-restraint.

I'd donate some arrogance.

Ladies, gentlemen, and individuals of indeterminate gender, we have our first deal!

*giggle*

I have lots of patience, Brute. Sensitivity by the tonne. You'll have to go somehwere else for your restraint, I'm afraid.

Yep - I'd like to be a mean prick. heh Sounds like lots of fun!

Sound like a good swap-- especially since I plan on getting the full advantage of the dripping sexiness once it's on you

No weight, thankees. I certainly don't mind it on you, anyway, FYI

 

[neonlyte]

I'm up for switching sex, partly out of inquisitiveness, mostly to see of I could get through a month without terminating a male.

I'm going to get some Stella sexiness! As soon as we figure out how to do this...

 

[carsonshepherd]

I'd trade some of my relentless optimism for some good eyesight. *squints*

I'd swap with you, but only if I get to observe you.

 

[Vermilion]

I'd gladly share my empathy in return for some good health

I believe the procedure will require a plane ticket one way or the other... Oh, you'll get it alright

Deal!

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I'd swap five years of my life (I haven't been doing much with it anyway) with Flannery O'Connor (who died when she was 39) in exchange for five months of her writing skill.
