Dear tillymd,
I'm sorry to have to inform you that wearing Nike tennis shoes - even used ones you got at Goodwill or the Salvation Army - automatically disqualifies you for membership in the 500 Club (unless, of course, you either found them in the garbage or shoplifted them.)
Regards,
John |

The shoes would be knock-offs from Bangkok of course. In my experience, ALL ESL teachers are members of the fabulous 500er club. Many struggle with denial, but we know the truth.
I humbly offer myself to the 500er club.  |

Dear tillymd,
Are you prepared for the gruesome initiation ritual?

If it involves trying to be desireless, I've already tried and failed.
If it involves rhubarb plants and 100% organic brown rice, I'm in
If it involves camel milk, I might try to run  |

Dear tillymd,
The initiation ritual is cloaked in secrecy, but I can tell you this: it involves all sorts of debasing and humiliating rites performed before the Sacred Image: The Almighty Dollar.
But I'm afraid you would never pass, based on your own admission:
"If it involves trying to be desire less, I've already tried and failed."
A 500er must desire one thing and one thing only: The Great God Moola.
Regards,
John |
