Sertoma Chili Cookoff in Springfield, MO

So, how many Springfield Planeteers are planning on attending? For those who don't live here, but might be in the area, you should check it out if you can. It's a really good time, and all the money raised go to the Boys & Girls Club.

I'll be cookin!

I'll be eatin'

Really? I'll have to look for you.

I heard they're opening the upstairs this year, too.

My only problem is that someone wants me to come over to listen to this presentation for an "investment opportunity" (aka pyramid scam) at 1pm. I put them off two weeks ago, and rescheduled before knowing the cookoff was the same day. :(

Run.

Run as fast as you can from this shit. Seriously.

agree...if they're not a friend, piss on em.
if they are a friend, they're not really a friend.

How would you like to have to clean THOSE outhouses??

It would almost smell as bad as one of FAX's.or Mecca's draft predictions.

I already know I'm saying no. It's just that I was supposed to go over two weeks ago, but completely forgot. I feel bad, so I at least want to go over there and listen to him. It's an hour out of my life, and it'll be off my conscience. I think I'm going to call today to see if we can do it later in the day. I love going to the cookoff. I always run into people I haven't seen in years.

Co-worker that I have to face everyday. If I come up with an excuse, he'll only keep asking.

you're too nice...

I tend to treat people who are "friends"/"co-workers" pushing unwanted shit on me the same way I'd treat a telemarketer. If they really took the time to know me, they wouldn't be pushing their garbage down my throat. If they are just a co-worker, they can just piss off.

My time is worth more to me than that. But hey, to each his/her own.

man **** those people who try to sell some pyrimad bullshit like buying selling utlities and all that shit. I had those people always try to sell me on some shit. Even though I said no I let it bother me all day, f'em tell them they can a flying **** if they even give you any grief about it. I had one person even tell me "why wouldn't you want to be rich" I told him every time i get more money, my life has gotten worse. Best times in my life were working at blockbuster in st joseph scrounging up money for a 12 pack of keystone ice and playing guitar. Take your shit and shove it up your ass.

Tell him no, he'll thank you for it.

Stringing along amateur sales people is what makes them pathetic and annoying.

i went through that crap w/a coworker several years back. he was pushing his shit on everyone at work. most people would listen to him and some even got involved in his money making scheme. i let him know right off, i wasn't interested and didn't want to hear anything about it. for a few months, he'd just brag to everyone how much he was making. then, he got fired(after working there for 25 years) for not doing his job.
since then, he's opened a buisness that's failed and gone bankrupt.
f@ckin jerkoff...
