One red paperclip

[Ghoulish Delight]

A coworker just pointed me to this interesting saga.

A guy went onto Craig's list with a simple goal...trade one red paperclip for a house.

Of course, he wasn't going to get there in one step. So he's been gradually trading up. So far, this is what he's traded for. He traded the paperclip for a fish pen. The fish pen got him a novelty cabinet door knob. For that he got a Coleman stove, then a gas powered generator, and on to an "instant party" (an empty keg, a neon Budweiser sign, and a voucher for a keg's worth of beer). That netted him a snow mobile from a radio host in Quebec. From there, he got an all expense paid trip to Yahk, British Columbia (stemming from a joke he made in an interview about going anywhere in the world to make at trade, except Yahk). The trip he traded for a delivery van, then a recording contract with Club Treehouse, which he then traded for 1 year of rent at a place in Phoenix. Next, an afternoon with Alice Cooper. Then the weirdest one so far...a snow globe. A motorized Kiss snowglobe to be exact. But, miracle of miracles, it turns out that Corbin Bernsen is a huge snow globe collector and really wanted that Kiss globe...so he traded a credited speaking role in a film for it!

And that's where it stands now. So if you've got something you're willing to trade for a role in Donna on Demand, head to http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ and make an offer!
