Depending on the situation, I might volunteer to go 48hrs without my PC for a Klondike bar

since i have no idea what a klondike bar is, and its the middle of winter here - i'd freeze it and stab a hobo with it so i could steal his rags and cardboard boxes to shield myself from the wind.

I'd play multi-player COD using TheMailMan78's mouse and keyboard and we know it has white stuff on it from all the fapping!

hmm, sandpaper takes too long -go for the belt sander. then again you could always drop trou and slide on the ice(your own human curling team!)LOL
OR I would put double sided sticky tape to the wheels of my wheelchair , wear a meat vest and go racing through the lions enclosure at the zoo.

For a Klondike bar I'd sail across the Atlantic on a raft made out of empty Skyrim retail boxes.

Bump and a reminder:

You need to answer the question "What would you do for a Klondike bar?" It doesn't need to be coherent, sane, or even in English (though not fluent, I can muddle my way through Spanish and German and google translate or babblefish can be used to tell if there's an answer in any other language).

You have to have joined in May 2012 or prior. There's no post count requirement, but I've got to know you've at least been lurking around here for a while. I know some people prefer the shadows, but you've got to prove that the TPU community means something.



*Klondike bar: Chocolate covered ice cream square. In recent years they've experimented with different ice cream (mint, reeses peanutbutter, etc...) and chocolate (double thick, white, etc...), but there are two truths. The thing is great in the summer, and you wind up with chocolatey fingers.
The old add campaign asked "what would you do for a Klondike bar?" The people would say something like "climb mount Everest." The problem was soon it was taken too far, and the joke "would you kill a man for a Klondike bar?" became as prevalent as the actual commercial.
Knowing how twisted most of the people are here (myself included), I'd love to see where this kind of open ended insanity goes. I can always use a good laugh, with nobody losing out.

After the world ends and only few men are left I would teach monkeys how to talk and build but if I had a klondike bar I just might betray them for that sexeh peice of sugar.(why not, they would betray me)

Bump.


I know that Skyrim sold like mad, but there's got to be people out there that bought it for a console, and can stand for the (*sic*superior*sic*) PC version. That's what I tell myself at least.

the last console i owned was a Wii in 2008. IMO consoles will never have PC games beat and i just get more use and enjoyment overall out of my PC (consoles in my house tend to collect dust).

Also Black Panther has posted some extremely nice pics of Skyrim PC on her FB and some of the screenshots are jaw dropping

That was my point. The expansions on the computer make it a much prettier game. Better is subjective, given stability issues and the fact that Steam occasionally has issues. That's why I added a disclaimer to the statement.

Less than 24 hours left. I'll be shooting out one last bump an hour before the give-away ends.



Skyrim for free (and Nexuiz if that doesn't tickle your fantasy), and only two pages of entrants. What the heck?

My guess: Most people already have Skyrim and few people are interested in Nexuiz.

What would I do for a Klondike bar?

I'd force my way into the MIT in order to study Quantum physics. After 15 intense years of research, billions of imaginary dollars and gallons of my own sweat and spit I would finally find the loophole in a quantum string, in order to go back in time. How far back in time? August 17, 1982. Where to? Mansfield, Ohio, U.S. I'd walk to Isaly's and order a chipped chopped ham sandwich plus an original Klondike bar and would proceed to have the best dining experience in the history of man. But that's just me.
