Additional Income: Selling Kidney Stones?
OK this article is just silly, Golden PalaceCasino paying $25,000 for William Shatner’s kidney stone. Yes, I have always said, the way to have more money is to make more money (although I think William Shatner is not going to be seen homeless on the street in the near future (unless he can make a buck doing it)), but this is bordering on the absurd.
Now, I am not knocking Mr. Shatner, being a former Montrealer, and having worked at Stratford in his younger days, for making a buck off his own pain (and given what I have heard about kidney stones, Golden Palace may not have paid enough for it), I am however curious as to what kind of investment Golden Palace is making here? Are they attempting to start a whole new market for Celebrity Memerobilia? I know Elvis’ sweat is highly valued, but William Shatner’s kidney stone? Hmmm….
If you can figure out a way to sell useless things like your toe nail clipping, kidney stones, or hair that you have found in your sink drain, please go ahead! More income with the same debt load, is a good thing (even if it is, kind of a disgusting way of making money).
Hey, I just found a scab that fell off, I’M RICH!!!!!

The fact that you are blogging about it is exactly why they bought it. They seem to be really in to creating hype for their name. They’ve purchased a few strange items in the past. I think they bought the toast with the Virgin Mary’s picture on it etc. (or something like that anyway).
That being said, business must be good, because $25k for a kidney stone is just plain crazy.

Very True, very true… I must have better things to blog about, but I was hoping they’d want my gaul stones!

Lol, I was just going to comfirm Hazzard’s comment. They simply buy all these worthless things in order to get publicity. I bet you went to check out their site, probably opened an account…maybe not the latter. I’m surprised that they didn’t buy the remaining 1,000 pixels on the million dollar home page.
