OPEN LETTER TO PAUL EDMONDSON

   Greek Oneposted 12 years ago

   Dear Mr. Edmondson
   
   I have been a loyal Hubber for over 2 years now, and through my Hubs, I have made your organization dozens of dollars.
   
   I have stayed loyal despite Panda (not really sure what 'Panda' is, but people seem to complain about it a lot), and have devoted countless hours to helping people find the one true God (my God, that is) in the religious forums.
   
   I have also devoted hours upon hours to your site, despite the fact that my own adult venture: "www.PicturesOfGreekOneInTheNudeEatingAChickenSaladSandwich.com" has suffered as a consequence.
   
   As THE model Hubber, a fellow former resident of San Luis Obispo, and a graduate from California Polytechnic University (what!?!!??  i could have lived and graduates from these places too!!!).. I think it is time you reciprocate my contributions to your website.
   
   Clearly HubPages needs a staff member from Canada who can represent it up here in the Great White North, assure that the 'internet' thingy (not really sure what that is either, but I am a fast study) is in god working order, and execute (with discrete intensity) any fellow Canadian Hubbers who complain too much (....or just for sport).
   
   In exchange for these services, I would reluctantly accept $159 American dollars (or Canadian, depending upon the exchange rate when this offer is accepted).
   
   Looking forward to your reply, and to your counteroffer.
   
   Yours Truly,
   Greek One
   
   PS.. I am also a big fan of YieldBuild (although I am not really sure what that is either).

      Hub Pages would be a fool to resist such a major money maker. I hope to have such wealth someday.
      
      Capitulate and pay, I say!

                              I hope you are taking note of the unbridled competitive spirit Mr. One brings to this position. That is the essence of Hub Pages and what enables successful hubbers like Greek One to earn those dozens of dollars for this organization.

                     Well maybe he was too busy making money for Hub Pages.
                     That's a legitimate excuse. I use it all the time at my house!

                        He did say he has made dozens of dollars for HubPages since he joined.  Then he also implied that he was exaggerating a little.

                                 Because you wouldn't have eaten cod if it were ending THIS year.  That would be silly.  And foolish.  And a waste of cod.

    I would also like to recommend this fine gentlemen be considered for employment in some position that will pay him enough to live comfortably in whatever that county north of us is called.  Is it Halifax?  Antartica?  I know it isn't Afghanistan, because that's beside Turkey, I think.  Though why anyone would want to live up there is beyond me. 
    
    Well, it doesn't matter, because the important thing is that encyclopedic knowledge of ancient Etruscan pottery is plainly lacking in HP staff and the Greek fella could fill that void admirably.  As could I, but I have other commitments and cannot be paid in Canadian dollars.

    Unless your "natural" good looks can add a lot to the office landscaping, I suggest you go shopping for a nice suit, tie, shoes, and watch.  I would not be working nude in San Francisco or bending over for any reason.  Trust me.

    @Greek One
    
    Thank you for the letter.  While I have deep admiration and love for Canadians our Canadian office isn't scheduled to open until 2036. I'm hoping you'll settle for a T-shirt and mug. 
    
    Thanks for going for a walk with me.  As a note of caution, I lead all turkeys to the barbecue.
    
    @MelissaBarrett - Your offer of dimples is in my sweet spot.  HubPages accepts all the great smiles we can get.
    
    @wavergirl - Looks like the Giants are down and out (cowboy fans smile).  Stay behind the jets and you have a slim shot of the wildcard, although I'll take the Tebows.  We really need a NYC office.  You should have free time this playoff season (couldn't resist) to start it up.  What do you say?
    
    @habee - We need a Southern presence.  Does it come with southern BBQ?  If dimples are my weak spot (just ask Robin - she has big ones), then food is my absolute weakness.  Put some tasty BBQ food in front of me and all I do is nod yes.
    
    Good fun.  -Paul
