If you could make a deal with the Devil...
Quote | Reply
 

... what would you ask for? (Rule - You can only ask for a personal gain. No saving the world type stuff.)

I just started on the Lucifer series on Netflix (anyone here a fan?), and mused about this question.

I flip flop between wanting to correct my physical and psychological inadequacies to being super duper wealthy living in Bali. (It's so shallow, I know.)

I ask him to appoint me Secretary of the Treasury in exchange for some dirt on Pete Buttigieg. Trump would love to know that there are rumors of Pete being gay.

The list is long, but at the top would be this.

It's weird, ad you grow all the things you want. But when I became a parent, my personal wants diminished and MY wants are now almost all for what I can do for my children. I don't want it obvious to them, because they'll turn into little spoiled assholes, but I also want them to know they're loved.

Ugh, so sappy.

This is the devil, right? We grow and become stronger through adversity in our lives. Although it isn't pleasant at times, without it, we would be weak and oblivious. I'm sure he could tweak the deal to make it not so straight forward as it seems.

That whatever genetic shit sandwich I inherited from my dad (died at 60) and grandfathers (one died at 53 the other at 61) be replaced with not-shit genetics - and I'd make sure that the contract stipulated that my son and any future kiddos got the genetic upgrade as well.

It honestly scares the crap out of me, 20 more years and I could be meeting the aforementioned devil in person.

You guys are too sappy.

I live to 120 with the same or better health and physical abilities as right now.

My wife and my dogs live as long as I do with the same health and physical abilities.

My brother gets what he deserves.

Everything else stays the same.

There is a lot of parts of my life that I am amazed they have turned out as well as they have. I just want it to keep rolling.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

He's a liar and a thief. Taking stuff from my dad and looting his father-in-law's trust among a thousand other things.

I quit a good job to work with this guy. Think Trump without the money. https://lmgtfy.com/?q=John+Okuley

I have now made it part of my life's work to let everyone know what a POS he is.

Ok... this took an unexpected turn...

I was hoping this would be a light hearted fantasy friday post. I wouldn't want a Mcmansion in Bali if I could ask for peace of mind/happiness/health for my loved ones.

What is something selfish that you desire?

New model bikes every year? All expenses year long stay in Vegas? Ability to fly first class everywhere? A new Honda Civic?

Deals with the devil typically don’t turn out well. Plus, even with all the pain and suffering, these physical and emotional deformities make us who we are. My kids and dog are great, but I’m not dealing with devil.

I just wish I knew if I should wear the knee high boots or the peek-a-boo bootie things. The sun is shining and my toenails look great (booties?). But it’s December (knee high boots?). I have only 25 minutes to figure this out. Maybe I wish for more time, too.

Yeah, he's a liar and a cheat

He'll cure your kids, let them have happy, healthy, and wonderful lives, then take them out in a car accident. Your Hell will compounded by knowing this could've been prevented, if you hadn't made the Deal

Every time I hit a golf ball it would be a pure strike that flew straight annd true. That right there would be pretty damn sweet. I'd still screw up yardage, i'd still constantly three putt, but damn how good it would feel to be rolling along and not throw a few shanks and flubs in there to ruin a fine day of sunshine, booze, and swearing!

I would ask for enough money to retire and fund a dog rescue. Spend the rest of my days rehabbing and rehoming dogs in death row.

The great thing is that since the devil doesn’t exist, there would be no screwing me on the back end!

Ok, so first we are now assuming there is a devil, and he collects souls for something, assume its bad for those souls. Assume there must be another place for other souls and it is good.

My deal with the devil then would be the all past and future souls, go to the good place/person.

I don’t think I should tell you because I just realized that whatever I say will be a disappointment.

Use your imagination. They are exactly what you want them to be.

If you are somewhere warm enough in December to let your pedi show, go for the peek-a-boo booties!

At first, I wore the boots because (a) it’s December and (by) I NEVER wear the boots. But the sun was warm. I felt stifled, frankly, in the boots.

So, I zipped back to my house, ran inside, threw off the boots, and happily put on the peek-a-booties. Freedom! Sassiness! So long, suckas!

So, that’s how it went. : )

I proceeded to volunteer at the schools where I cleaned a Swedish Fish off a library book. Lovely. Ha ha!

The devil wants your soul so it has to be something now in exchange for your soul belonging to the devil for infinity.

In that case, the things I would give up my soul for are,

  • A cottage on a lake where I have 10 golden retrievers and don't have to work.

Since I'll be dead, the devil can knock himself out with my soul.

We’re on Season 4, the first season produced by Netflix. I feel like they upped the show when they took over. For anyone watching, the last two episodes of season 3 (25 and 26) were initially meant for season 4, but got tossed in as bonus episodes on Season 3, so they don’t follow the storyline.




There are three kinds of people, those who can count, and those who can't.

My imagination tells me that they are boots, with nothing around the toe area. But that doesn't seem LR-esque, so I still have no idea what they really are.
