Of either Alantis or Mistborn #2?
Or give me their book?
-
It's called 'Elantris.' There are these things that loan you books. Considering you're near LA I would imagine there are a large number of them. The best part. . . THEIR FREE and you don't have to wait for someone to reply in order to get it! :o

hmm...what could it be...no, don't tell me, I've almost got it...
El...La...Lib...nah, I've lost it.
-
But I don't want to drive to a bookstore...
-
Maybe you can ride a bike to a library, then.
-
Library! That's the one!
-
Who said anything about going to a library? I mean don't libraries let just about any person in? Think about the germs of books that tens of people tough?! :o
-
Oh darn, I could have sent you mine but I read it while wearing my birthday suit and eating jello, so it definately has too many germs for you.
-
So then buy a little tube of hand sanitizer and use it every time you put the book down before you do anything else.
Or better you could go buy a brand new copy. You could even buy it off of Amazon for cheap, then you wouldn't even have to drive to the book store, they'd send it right to your house.

Well, then you better not go buy anything ever. Machines put things into boxes, which are then shipped out. Those machines certainly have germs on them, as do the boxes.
Dust has germs. Food has germs. When the checker at a checkstand scans anything and puts it in the bag, I'm sure her hands have germs. And the stockers who put things on the shelf in the first place, too. The bags, of course, have germs. The toilet seat has germs every time you sit on it, because your skin has germs.
Speaking of that, did you know that most keyboards have more germs on it than a toilet seat? So, in essence, you are typing on something that probably has more germs on it than any book from a library (libraries aren't as dirty as toilets).
For your future reference, other things with germs: Your face, your silverware, the handle for your door (when was the last time you disinfected that, hm! Oh, that's right, never.), the on button for your computer, your TV remote, your Xbox 360 controllers, your comb, your keys, your credit card, your clothes (no matter how much you wash them) and, let's not forget your Kindle that you are so in love with.
The point is, fear of germs is stupid. Sorry if I offend people for saying that, but it is just silliness. Everything, every single thing has germs! And the hilarious part is we aren't all dying from these germs because of this little thing called the "immune system". As long as you aren't eating and/or having sex with your library books, you are probably not going to get sick. Ever!
I'd be more worried about my TV remote if I were you.
-
I would argue against there being germs everywhere if I were here, just to spark up conversation.
I miss Coma :'( . . . anyone know what happened to him?
-

This is the most offensive thing, seriously written, that I've ever read on this forum.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Wow, I commented on the germs part without even realizing the horror of the other part.
I guess Utopia, that libraries just let everyone in to... uh, expand their mind so we aren't a society of ignoramuses.
In other words: please go to a library!
-
I fail to see how borrowing the book off someone else improves the germ situation at all. But, at elast you didn't type the title of this thread in all caps.

There's hope yet!

How many of you are in the LA area?
Sorry, but I can't help you utopia. I'm a long, long way a way from LA.
Besides, I don't like to share. :P
-

First by LA, do you mean Los Angeles, or Louisiana? There is a bit of a difference between the two, and that isn't even close to a comprehensive list of what LA can stand for. And before you reply that it should be obvious which one you ment, there's a whole state and an entity of the US government that recognizes LA as being the state, and there's about 37 million people in California that associate it with the city.
Second I'm wondering if your real objection to libraries is that you have to prove to them who you are and where you live, and they expect you to return the books you borrow. Whereas with the anonymity of the internet you can get away with not giving a real name and no way to force the return of the book.
-

I'm still ticking, you haven't gotten rid of me that easily. I've just been busy at school that's all.
And Germs don't exist while camping, so just go camping immediatly after leaving the library, and you'll be fine.
-

AND THAT IS WHY I MISS YOU!@!!!!
-

Precisely. What's more, I'm rather certain that UGH--I mean UG--won't foot the bill for the shipping and handling. Does this guy have no shame?
/*shrain looks around, wishing fervently that the Master of Newbie Smack Down would make an appearance.

I am constantly amazed by you Utopia. I really dont understand what drives you to creste threads that cause people just to bash on you. At one point I used to come on this site hoping someone had some genius idea on some of EUOLs writing or maybe some news about it. Now I find myself going here to see what people say in response to the idiotic things you say. Really are you driven by lack of brain capacity to guess what our response would be to a question like, Can I have your book? Are you the worst fan ever or?
-
This is either just classic troll behavior or someone with some form of mental disorder/deficiency. I would say don't feed the troll, but trolls gotta eat too.
-
This thread is the win. Fell points for those I found amusing.

wow i feel special now I've always wanted a fell point.
-
YES!!! I got a fell point. Take that Trebek! Now if they would only make a thread only I and fellow fell point holders could post in; I have something really profound I want to say.
-
Darn again. If only I was more entertaining to the moderators I could be part of your club. Oh well maybe ill buy a couple so I can feel better about myself and lull myself into a false sense of accomplishment.
-

I have something profound to say, too. It may or may not pertain to lava, but whatever. I wonder if lava has germs in it...
-
I found this excerpt from an article when I googled (lava, germs.)
Research from leading scientists have shown that some bacteria have survived under polar ice caps and in molten lava. Gems are every where, on every thing you touch, even your cell phone.
Im not going to say I know the site because I have never been there before but this is the link http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/124131

You can't buy them. That was from a year and a half ago and it was a joke.
-
I'm aware of this now, I went and read the post and realized but wasn't upset about it any longer. What are you gonna do right. I guess Ill have to impress a moderator some other way. Maybe with my dazzling Linguistic abilities.
-
If it makes you feel any better, I didn't get any either. That's partially because I just pointedly ignored this thread, but hey...

That's what you get for not feeding the trolls. See, we feed the trolls, but we feed the trolls knives, so it all works out! The troll gets to eat, and we get to see its stomach eviscerated. Problem solved!
-
I did the same as Andrew... But dang, Chaos, that was GREAT!
-
i always wondered how i got that Fell point...
all i can think of is either my general awesomeness and ability to verbal slap people.
or it could have been the awesome prank Ookla and I played on you all...
...nah, general awesomeness.
-

Was that in the movie deal thread?
-
perhaps.
or perhaps the real joke and trick has yet to be revealed and you are all being led slowly down the path of destruction by us.
-
Or maybe Brandon thought our joke was such a good idea that it's not a joke anymore.
-

So then the joke is on you. Hah! I just beat you at the internet. ;)

no, we are just brilliant.

Yeah, when I think of you two, I picture the guinness commercial. Brilliant!

we sued them for taking our pictures.

You know, you guys to a bang-up job of keeping this topic going. ;)

So is anyone willing to 2nd day ship a book to me for free? Or can anyone buy Sanderson's book on Amazon and put my shipping info as the shipping info, so they are buying me books through Amazon? I am a level 3 poster here on the boards, so don't I get some entitlement for free Sanderson books??

You know, now that I'm in a better mood, I can see how the other posters see this as funny!
That's a good one. Do you have any more?

Well, I'm a level 8, so obviously I am entitled to compensation more than twice that of yours. I think that if you would be my undying slave, that should measure up nicely. They call Brandon the Evil Undead Overload, so I'm sure he would not be opposed to giving me some undead slaves who happened to be named "UtopiaGreen01".
-
I'm kind of surprised UtopiaGreen is even posting in an existing thread, rather than just starting a new one. I just looked at his stats: 37 posts, 18 topics created, 5 polls created.
-
I think most of us have seen the results of Utopias threads. Most of them die quickly. This one is kept alive for simple fun. the only other one I found that is still popular was the "QUESTION" one about abortion. That one started good conversation that Utopia doesn't even take part in. Plus the pole at the top was terrible. I think we should keep this going and if Utopia wants to PM me his personal mailing info Ill send him a copy of the mistborn series seeing how I have two of each. Im keeping Elantris though because I only have one.
-
You're just prejudiced to be nice to him because both your names are Green!!
-
Yeah but I think the Green Monster is Utopia so I dont need UtopiaGreen if you follow what I mean.
-

Egads. Noooonooonooo! Feedest thou NOT the troll that prowleth these boards. I beseech thee most adamantly, dear GreenMonsta. For then wilt we be never rid of his purile polls and brazen begging or his exuberantly misplaced sense of entitlement. Please, I beg thee by all that is holy (including the Green Monster at Fenway) to reconsider thy plan!
And, forsoothe, if thou hast an affliction known as "Multiple Personalties," make all haste to check thyself in at the nearest ER.
-
Just realize that if you send it to utopia, you won't get it back.
I'm a level nine poster, so does that mean that I get three times as much stuff as utopia? So I should at least be entitled to a free car or something like that.....
I love how he thinks that posting more than 50 times on a website entitles him to free stuff. Especially when you look at people like SE and Sprig with massive post counts. At first I was just annoyed by this thread, but I now find it genuinely amusing. I think it's because I've stopped trying to figure out if Utopia is actually serious or not and just decided to start shamelessly mocking him.
But I agree, Green, if we ever want to hear the end of Utopia asking for free stuff, thou shouldst not sendeth the book(s).
-
Thats fine, I plan on buying HoA and then the whole set again. Hopefully in a box set in paperback to fit my shelf.
-

If you are referring to a certain, um, I dunno, "wall" that happens to be located in left field of a certain baseball park, then I'm right there with you. ;D

OMGSH the ONLY reason I know what you're talking about is because they built a pretend one for my cousin's birthday party a few years ago. ha ha.
Greenmonsta. . . . don't give him what he wants. lol.
Also, I think it would be REALLY REALLY sweat if they did hard leather bound copies. :D That would be so amazing!
-
I'd buy one for every single book he puts out. :)
Leather bound is a really nice idea.
-

Me too. ha ha.
I think it would be amazing to have one of all of his books in leather bound. I mean it would just be so cool. ha ha. Then I'd have to get them signed. >.> <.< -Stalks Brandon-

That's a brilliant plan, GreenMonsta. I wish I had thought of it first, really, what better way is there get his actual address so I could go to his house and mock him in person. Ummm...I've got some extra books too, so go ahead and send me your address and I'll get right on it.
-

So when can I expect my books?

(http://www.timewastersguide.com/images/banhammer.jpg)
Anyone else want to be banned while I'm here? Not that I think anyone needs to be, I just don't get to use the hammer all that often.
-
You know, I always imagined a banhammer looking more like a sledgehammer. I really think that card with its weenie hammer does a disservice to mods everywhere. I made this one myself:

I said if you want to PM Private Message me you info I would send them out when I get it. I'll UPS from work. If you dont PM then theres no loss.

Ha ha. I think he is gone for good. Oh well, his loss.
-
I dunno I checked the members list and he is still listed as a member. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Sprig was kidding or not.
-
Banhammer! That is by far one of the coolest forum-related M:TG card I've seen in a long time. :D
-
Banning a user doesn't delete the profile.
-
Forgive me if I'm upset, I only wanted Utopia to stay long enough to get his mailing info so I could place it on as many mailing lists as possable.
-
Sounds like he got banned at exactly the right time, if you ask me.
-
Does it make me a bad person to enjoy his pending dismay if I was aware that he would be receiving triple the crap mail every day? I think not.
-
Well here's your chance. He's now back. UtopiaGreen02, or Utopia Reincarnated. Oh well.
-
He's a determined one isn't he. I didn't want to do that to him bad enouph to have him come back.
-
So what is the tracking number, and when can I expect my book(s)?
-
My god, how many times do I have to tell you that you have to send me a mailing address before I can send you anything.
-

WoW. Fell points are not a joke, looks like someone is about to loose theirs.

I was saying the "buying Fell points" was a joke Sprig. ;) I wasn't saying Fell points in general were a joke. ha ha. I suck at talking sometimes.
-
If you wanted to take away this someones Fell point then maybe you could be persuaded to give it to a certain monsta. I mean I hear hes a cool guy and likes nice things.
-
Huh. Well it appears Miyabi has it back, so it doesn't really matter.
-
Oh it matters. It matters a whole lot. Thanks for the back up Andrew. I back your campaign and you cant back me for a Fell point. I see how it is. Your lucky I still think you should win against that arrogant Chaos.
-
It's not that I don't think you deserve a fell point. It's just that there isn't currently one available in the way you mentioned. Go do something awesome and Sprig will give you one and I'll celebrate with you.
-
I knew I could count on you. If only every one felt that way instead of being subverted by that lie spinning Chaos. But such is life.
-
My can can use a good wash and vacuuming, if you do that I'll give you 2 fell points.
-
You vacuum your can? That's a little weird. But nothing I havt tried. I mean. . . No way that is outrageous. How dare you ask such a thing of me. I only requested the honor of receiving a fell point and you attempted to. . to . . to .... use me in a most horrible fashion.
PM me if your serious I'm free this weekend
