View Full Version : The Business

Topic: Do you or have you ever been the owner of a business or enterprise, or at least the boss of one? Discuss being the boss. Hell, let's even include virtual businesses (MMOs).

I have just started a new business, and it has so far been very lucrative, ever since Shlup showed a picture of her boobs in Feedback. I looked to capitalize on that exposure, so to speak, and it turned out fairly profitable, with over 120 votes and 3 Ciddies. However, I know she can do better next time and bring in more cash and votes, so I am starting to advertise in my sig.

EDIT: Due to the sheer volume of calls, and the fact that Shlup can't keep up with all of the clients due to her advanced age and resulting dryness issues, Raistlin Pimp Enterprises will hereafter be forced to limit its advertising to just this thread. Thank you for your patronage, and don’t worry – there will hopefully be another advertising spree for the next Ciddies.

I'd like to arrange something!

I have a small business where I sell crafts and pouches, so I guess I'm my own boss in that respect. I sell stuff at work and I've made a decent amount already in the two weeks I've had it open. It's been really nice to see people responding so well to the stuff I make.

I'm going to be minoring in business in college so I can start a family business with my parents. Not entirely sure what kind just yet, but it'd be super if it worked out.

I too, have made money with pictures of Shlup's boobs. But the purchaser was Shlup herself. She's very into herself you know.

I run my own business and have for the past 4 years or so. Only about 2 years doing it full time though. It's half super duper awesome (I get to work in my pajamas!) and half, super duper stressful. The work never stops. If you're not actually doing the work, you're thinking about it, planning things out in your head, dreaming about it. Everything is on you. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Almost everyone in my family (and extended family) owns their own business. Entrepreneurship is kind of expected.

So you're saying I can make even more by just selling everything back to Shlup? Brilliant idea!

I like this venture, raistlin, and I hope it brings you much success.


In sixth grade, I "started" Jume Inc. I never really went anywhere with it-- I guess I wanted to sell paper boxes I folded. But it was fun to use that as a copyright on subsequent class projects.

I would like to own my own business eventually, because I don't want to work for anyone other than myself. Unfortunately, my complete lack of drive and ambition prevents me from doing anything of the sort. Maybe I can just steal an already existing business from someone else.

All yours for just 5 votes for me (or 10 for Shlup), or the low, low price of $30. I can only demand so much until she allows me to publicize the better pictures.

Good to know that webpage isn't just some spam thread. I sincerely wish you success in that.

I have no sense of business - I'm more of a stock market buying type of guy (investor! that's the word). Any way I can buy into your company?

I don't have my own business yet, but I've already started investing some capital so that I can open up my own sandwich shop in four or five years. It is a dream I've had for a while, to be able to serve up sandwiches in any shape or form the customer/I desire.:jess:

If you enjoy having free time, I wouldn't recommend starting a florist.

No.

I'm a scientist, or more specific, a researcher. We do things simpler. We get lots of money from companies to basically do whatever the hell we want, inside a particular field, and only really have to account for our time for about 20 min every week, which being skilled speakers, we can talk our way out of with legitimate problems, whether they really occur or not. The only reason any progress is made is because we get bored and science turns out to be our hobby as well.


Also we have cake. Lot's of it. Because we're awesome.

That is not a purchasable option. Shlup requires numerous men (sometimes all at once), which is why she is in this business in the first place.

She is available for multiple days at a time, but due to some of her clients being of... well, let's just say questionable character, Shlup is now on the No Fly List and Terrorist Watch List. However, Shlup herself has not done anything wrong or caused any harm (well, except for that time she screwed the head of the Federal Reserve nonstop back in '29, thus causing the Depression).

I've managed to speak with the attache of the Canadian Embassy...She can go there and stay with my rents...From there I can arrange a passage to Pakistan.... Food, lodging will be provided for as well as security...However......

Shlup must dance at friends wedding..She must watch all the bollywood films and learn the dance moves... Failure to do so, she will simply be dumped in our neighboring country where the first letter begins with an A and ends with a N

Raistlin
06-29-2010, 06:53 PM
To quote Shlup, she "has no shame," and therefore no service is fully out of the question, no matter how degrading. She might take convincing, but that is easy: just give her sushi, strawberries, and half-naked pictures of me.

Bunny
06-29-2010, 07:16 PM

So you don't mind torturing your client to get her to do what needs to be done?

Feel free to contact my secretary at that toll-free number in the advertisement and book dates. Given the amount of interest, Mandee BoobQuack (her pornstar name) may not be around here much until the next Ciddies, when I will again pimp her out for votes, cash, and bacon (the only currency accepted by Raistlin Pimp Enterprises). Thank you all and keep giving me money.

Either/or, though just the bacon is all mine. Shlup does not get a cut of the bacon, because we already have trouble getting her onto airplanes without buying two seats.

Well, no matter what she does for a living, it's just not sanitary to have her on your lap the entire flight.

There are children there, man.

Raistlin
06-30-2010, 11:15 PM
I can only assume you're intentionally misreading that, because if she can barely fit in a seat, she certainly can't fit in my lap. And why would I be flying with her? I fly first class, separate from my workers. Less diseases up there.

Yes. :p I was saying that I would pimp her out for all of those things, in which case what I said was true. If I had been saying what an individual client could pay with, then "or" would be more appropriate (or "and/or"). If that's even what you're confused about. I'm never too sure with you.
