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. Very Happy

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

John

If it involves trying to be desireless, I've already tried and failed.Sad

If it involves rhubarb plants and 100% organic brown rice, I'm in Very Happy

If it involves camel milk, I might try to run Shocked

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
