LOL!! I… can’t…. stop…. laughing!!!

I could settle for the pedicurists, as long as they’re hot (and female).

I’m chuckling at work. It’s a good thing my cubicle neighbors are already gone.

I want my house in Malibu. Contributions to my medical school debt area also acceptable.

I’d be willing to do a column for the occasional trip to the Greek islands.

Poncho, if Japanese and Eastern European masseusses are not available, will you accept pedicurists from Bulgaria? Shell, Van Cleef & Arpels really should send some jewelry for you to illustrate. Then you can do a giveaway and give it to me! Please make sure the back scratcher is extra hard and extra long for those hard-to-reach places. Thanks! lp13, why stop at tuition? How about a set of wheels to help your child get around campus? Jen, NEVER sell yourself too cheap. When I first started blogging, I was offering myself for $31.99 a night and found that unsatisfactory. My sense of self worth has increased dramatically with the new jacked-up rate. Ybnorml, sorry, only bloggers get the hot Latin men since we work so hard. Readers will have to settle for pictures of Julio Iglesias. Julien, I hadn't even thought about sharing my chicken and cheese. Maybe I need to order a whole goat! Diann, Flamenco guitarists would be welcome, as long as they sing songs all about me. I'm sure they'd have nimble fingers, too. GMR, yes, of course bloggers are greedy. I've been hoarding a ham in the freezer since 1989. After you get all those houses, I'm going to visit you and maybe stay a few years. How does that sound?

LOL. Great post! This whole thing with the FTC is just crazy…most bloggers already listed where they got the book from….and hello? We don’t sell ARC’s…let’s face it. If we don’t give them away (with permission) in a contest, we KEEP THEM. (We’re readers….we’re greedy!) =0)

My “fake” demands…oh boy…I like the money option of course…more for a bad book because let’s face it, who really has time for the REALLY bad ones? My house demands would be a bit more extensive. I want one personal ski lodge (no, I don’t know how to ski, but that’s where the cute instructor comes in!), one homestead in Italy, and one in Hawaii….nope wait one more in my home state (not current one, the one I’m originally from). Other than that, I would have to list a “may change at will” clause… =0)

Hey Elyse,

Since hot Latin men are already on order, maybe you could request a couple of Flamenco guitarists (just for variety) and a few pitchers of sangria.

I needed a good laugh this morning. Thanks!

Thanks for the very funny post, PCN!
I already had an inkling that you were bribed to write such positive reviews about some books or movies. But I couldn’t imagine your rates were so high! 😉
Wow, you must be overloaded with chicken and goat cheese! But at least you can feed all those hot Latin men of yours for free. That’s smart.

Nice disclosure. Of course I think you need to add that readers of your reviews should also be sent hot Latin men with no shirts on. They don’t even have to be mariachis! And of course a couple hot European or Japanese masseusses for Poncho.

Geez, I think I’m selling myself too cheap! LOL This is hysterical. Thanks for the good laugh this morning, PCN! 🙂

I love it!

For me, it would start at college tuition (of a university of my choosing) for my oldest.

Now this is the way to start a day! Thanks, PCN.
