What’s your body worth?

Posted by Vivian J. Paige ⋅ Friday, July 6, 2007 ⋅ 35 Comments

According to this calculator, mine is worth $3,890.

Of course, that is less than Stephen, who came in at $4175. Maybe guys have more parts to sell?

Decided to doublecheck. I’m not sure what I hit, but it looks like the lowest I can honestly get it right now is about 4025. Sorry Viv. I’m trying to figure out what my answers must have been. I think I said yes to soda, a drink a day instead of a week (which in the fall is almost true with red wine at dinner) and that my vision was terrible instead of blow average.

I’m finding it funny on a whole other level right now that I saw a copy of the Zombie Survivor’s Guide in Waldon yesterday.

“4 pomegranate martinis”

How do ya mix it? I’ve been thinking about trying vermouth but normal martinis have never sounded like my thing.

Here’s the recipe. I use Absolute Citron vodka.

They are really good and pomegranate juice is very good for you. So I figured the good juice outweighed the spirits

Oh, goodness. When y’all are done with that Sweet Valley Junior High United thing down there, come up to Arlington and we’ll have a seminar on the important things in life. First item: how to mix a martini.

And I just answered the questions again and got $4125. Not sure which question made the difference. I said no to sodas (since I only rarely drink sugared sodas), and I said was below average height (instead of short – is 5’3″ short?). Oh – and I said my hair was really short.

What’s wrong with Oprah’s recipe? Besides, I have to admit I don’t like the taste of alcohol.

I will be in Arlington later this year so perhaps you can show me

That’s kind of like asking about what’s wrong with Oprah’s Book Club Pick. Nothing, perhaps, but it doesn’t start off with a lot of promise . . .

(And we’ll ignore that the site can’t spell Absolut. I’m sure they paid good money for that product placement, though.)

Don’t like the taste of alcohol? I remember those days. Yes, the summer of 4th grade was something . . .

But seriously, that just must mean you’ve not found the right drink for you. Everyone has one. I’ll have to say I’m a little surprised, though. I would have thought you a single malt drinker.

Hey I just like pomegranate. I’m the kin of nut that downs those odd shaped bottles of Pom whenever I’ve just been paid and a five+ dollar fruit drink doesn’t seem steep.

I’d like to think I don’t like the actual taste of alcohol, but the fact that I drink sake seems to stand pretty well against that claim.

Single malt? Heck no! You obviously have me mixed up with somebody else

I pretty much only like sweet drinks – and then I can only drink a few before they make me sick. (Like the night – probably 20 years ago – I drank half a fifth of Yukon Jack That was sweet but dangerous.)

Cory – I buy pomegranate juice in big bottles (half gallon?). Those little ones don’t make enough martinis for me

$3905.

Oh how I wish I were 25 again.

$5,315.

I’m worth more than that to myself. I know I could get a couple hundred grand for my kidney, if I offered one to the right buyer

Good point Mad Hatter, I feel like this calculation doesn’t account for a motivated buyer.

$3680

I think mostly from the sodas and the smoking. Medications are not good either.

Posted by Mark Brooks | Saturday, July 7, 2007, 10:57 pm
MH – good idea

Mark – yeah, the smoking got me, too. One of these days…..

$5025…….any takers?
