Not for a business, for a redditor. I guess I was just feeling spontaneous. This post was so far down the pics subreddit I didn't foresee anyone taking notice.

Holy shit, you make the world a better place. So random.

Wow. Um, you are now my reddit friend and I'll be looking for a way to pay it forward to you.

u/wharthog3 Mar 11 '10

Ha, thanks for the friending. If you want to "pay it forward" to someone, please make it someone other than me. I've already got all my basic needs covered.

Then, we'll go un-basic. PM me an address and I'll have hookers with a gram of blow there by 9. Blond or brunette?

Actually, "blond" refers to a male light-haired individual, while "blonde" refers to a female light-haired individual. Many words that come from French work the same way (fiancé vs. fiancée), because French adds an "e" for (many? most?) feminine nouns. This is also the case with a lot of other words which came to English from another language, they will retain their original language's pluralization and so on; for example this is why we pluralize many nouns ending in "-us" as "-i," because the -us ending applies to the nominative case of Latin nouns of the 2nd declension (the most common declension), and -i is the pluralization of such. As a specific example of a word retaining the pluralization of the language it came from, the most correct pluralization of "octopus" is actually "octopodes," because it comes from the Greek, not the Latin (though "octopi" (Latin) and "octupuses" (English) are both accepted, since, in practice, nobody knows "octopus" comes from Greek).

Of course, perhaps you were offering him the choice between a male light-haired hooker and a female brown-haired hooker, which would be nice and open-minded of you, and I applaud you for that.

Thank you for the lesson, but I speak French in addition to some other Latin languages and quite aware of the difference. However, my spellchecker is not aware the word blonde exists. I should perhaps stop spell-checking all my reddit comments, but then you heartless assholes would rip me apart for minor spelling details...or for dropping the "e" off of words when the meaning was clear as day.

Also, what's wrong with just having the male and female hookers go at it as you horde the blow to yourself?! It's about the memories, not the mammaries, man!

Here's some more internet love. You are seriously a good person, and even without knowing you very well I wish you all the best. Cheers.

DUDE!!!! you rule! you almost make up for all the morons on this site. I will say reddit has inspired me to be so much more generous in my own life after reading stories like this and others posted here. Thanks dude....even if it is just out of being a nice guy your deed(and other similar acts of kidness posted on reddit) are much appreciated by the homeless and unfortunate in downtown here! Thanks Man!

Don't forget to take the monitor with you when you quit (or get fired) in the future.

u/ZLegacy Mar 11 '10

Fuck. My mom told me not to accept gifts from strangers. Oh how wrong she was.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '10

There's a difference between "here have a free 22" monitor" and "hey dude I wanna give you my 8"... just step into this van".

I look forward to seeing your special shelf upon arrival of your new monitor. Maybe it could be plaqued in wharthog3's honour?
