A Life 4 Sale
Ian is fed up with his life, and is ready to sell it all. So he says... [youtube]

Upon completion and settlement I will walk out of my home for the last time in just the clothes I am wearing, and carrying only my wallet and passport. Seems to have a lot of stuff. I hope that's a large wallet. And yes a tad extreme. I think I can do without most material things - but definitely not photographs.

While I understand his motivation to move away from Perth, I can't imagine anyone nuts enough to want to take his place there. Hank, I keed, I keed. Sorta.

Hmmph. We have a brown river with jellyfish in it. Masonic capital of the southern hemisphere! And the ex-bells of Big Ben. Anyway, I vote that MoFi collectively buy this guy's life. I think if we all throw ten bucks in, we have a solid chance.

Aussie sockets make me think of the mask from Scream.

Took me a while to work out what you meant, I thought you were being derogatory for a second.

Hmmm, do we get his name, too? 'Cause "Ian Usher" is pretty distinguished-sounding. And the "Friends" section is a bit vague. Will they cease being Ian's friends once the sale is complete? Otherwise, I don't see how it's a sale, i.e., the transfer of something from one owner to another. Maybe it's some form of figurative prostitution, whereby you can sell the same thing over and over and still own it yourself. Nice of Melanie, Em, Paula, Marty, Baxter,Andy, Karen, Dazz, and the others to go along with it, although I don't know if I'd buy the friendship of someone who doesn't know "loose" from "lose." Sorry, that's just the way I roll. It's the Sale of the House of Usher!

I forgot to say, I realy envy Ian for having the freedom and the guts to do this. I think the desire to just walk away is in us all.
