So, what’s a thing worth? Whatever someone will pay you for it.
I’ve seen people say that the value of a baseball card is a specific dollar amount because they read it in the price guide. Well, I know from growing up buying comics that the amounts in the price guide are only valid if you can get someone to cough ’em up.
Hubris might be overvaluing his store. Maybe not.
I’ve got an old Jeep. People ask how much I want for it. I say, “Six thousand.” and they say “It’s not worth that.” to which I reply “It’s worth more to me in my driveway than in yours.” So, yeah, my old rattletrap isn’t worth six thousand to a bank, or to some guy who randomly wants me to sell my Jeep without me saying “Hey, I think I’ll sell my Jeep.” but in the end… Well, in the end, Peter’s not going to be able to buy the Outdoor Galore Store. Wonder how he’ll react to that?
I like the fg/bg flip, Greg. It really puts P. Enis in perspective.
Yep. Y’know, it’s probably a good thing that Peter didn’t use his initial on the name of his sporting goods stores. It might have led to a lot of Dick’s jokes.
One time I saw a large display of staples while I was in a Staples. That’s why I never go to Dick’s.
Pa dum pum!
Laughing ’til I was coughing!
There is a dick sporting good store lines. We got one in the mall, so nothing wrong with dick jokes xD
Many years ago my brother had me pick up an old VW bug he gave to his youngest daughter. Because it had been years since I had driven one I took it to work just for the fun of it. I had barely parked it when one of my associates came out and kept asking how much I wanted for it.
I just started walking around the car staring at every point. He asked what I was doing and I responded I was looking for the for sale sign.
For once he got the point and went back inside.
In 2011, I bought a 1991 GMC Suburban. Immediately, at work, there were two colleagues who wanted to buy it from me!
Although, with the amount of repairs I have had to do on it since, I doubt they would have been happy with their purchase… I have put in much more than “conventional wisdom” would allow to put on a vehicle that old… But I prefer to pay for repairs than on car payments for something I would not like…
When I found it, it filled all the criteria I had since I was a young adult, for my dream vehicle: a suburban, old enough to be the square model (1991 was the last year they made the square model, before rounding out, plastifying out, and otherwise “ruining” the model, as far as I am concerned), diesel, 4X4, 3-row seating, luggage rack on the roof, and tow hitch at the back (well duh, of course it would be at the back… 😛 ) I have a good job (bus driver for the city of Montreal), so I will keep it alive as long as I can.
the MORE IT GOES THE MORE I SEE LOWELL BEHAVIOR IN HIS FAMILY TREE!!!
As much as Hubris dreads the chaos of the annual fest, I think that once everything gets going he enjoys it. He probably wishes he could compete instead of running it though.
So will the last thing Hubris gives P Nis Wang be the bird? It is in the last frame.
… this reminds me of a thing that happened between Eddie Van Halen & whatshisname… one of the former lead singers of the group… forgettable fellow… hagrid…? haggerd… no haggerd is a country singer…
anyway, the singer was bugging Eddie to quit drinking. Eddie replied, “if i didn’t stop for my own Family, what makes you think i’d stop for You??”
if Hubris didn’t sell to a lowell, what makes this guy think would he sell to a p.enis? ~and seriously… peter enis wang…?? Seriously?? you must Really hate that character… or the person he stands for… like, A Lot.~
I thought that Nikki quoted Paste a price of 3.75 million to sell the Outdoor Galore Store? (Mind you, she didn’t actually check with Hubris first.)
Years ago I was looking for a nice hunting jacket. I wondered what Cabela’s had so I typed cabelas.com and looked around. Also checked out gander mountain. com. Wondered what Dick’s sporting goods had so I typed dicks. com in the web browser. I didn’t get sporting goods.
Don’t go there.
