How can I save cash?
I know! Let's ask neonerd!
Oh, now you've done it.

I know where you got the idea. From that thread with WarDemon and his cheating girlfriend. Except he lets her cheat and tells himself she isn't really cheating.

That's how all this starts
He didn't buy a rose for
Warpiggy's girlfriend.

 

and he JUST removed the diagram from bbzzdd

a shame that the OP has the diagram for his avatar

 

[KingNothing]

first rose I ever made is on the right

You can see quite a quality difference between that and the one on the left, which is on sale. The edges are chunky, it's about half as tall, etc. It took me about 10 roses to make nice ones like I'm selling now. I guarantee if you try to make one now, you'll end up with a "aww, how nice, you made me something" gift but not a "holy crap that's sweet!" gift.

Not that I'm biased...

Come on, put the diagram back, I was planning on busting open my collection of Quantum Fireballs and making a complete bouquet, and I don't have time (or the money) to ship a box of HDD's, and you certainly don't have the time to do that many of them, nor do I have the cash to pay you.

Edit: I have at least 40 expendable drives here, most of them with multiple platters. I won't sell them or anything, though.

Looks like you can buy it from SampSon.

Or me.

Don't have the time? C'mon man. If you don't have the time to ship a box of HDD's, you don't have the time to make a bouquet of roses either.

I was referring to the time required to ship a crate of HDD's, but if you're offering to work for free...
