The camel's in the mail...
 

I was googling a website and one of the links led me to a place called webarbiter, which lets you type in a website, that then tells you little factoids about the site. Like how it ranks in the world, or what it's supposedly worth. Looks like we're worth 16 camels somewhere.
I'm probably misinterpreting the whole thing. Can someone tell what this thing's for?

By the way, I want a camel, now.

this is what they rekon we're worth

Fremen this is a page ranking site. There are many others like it online..i just find it intruiging that they valued it in different ways.

btw, what sort of camel is it? here in arabia, not all camels are the same. It's like saying 100 dollar bill is the same as a 10 dollar bill.

what i find intruiging the most is that they assumed that we take an income of 51 dollars a day. i wish that were true. Most members know that in order to keep this place ad-free, TFP income is dependant on contributions from the members themselves.

Am I the only guy that loves that Dlish is the resident camel value expert?

/mancrush

Does sending TFP one camel count as donation for life time membership?

Awesome, thanks for the insight, dlish.

So... about that camel you're going to mail me...

:thumbsup:

No.

There are much more effective methods of bribery, though.

i dunno about you Jazz, but i could do with a camel here. My status amongst my bretheren here would skyrocket to the nth degree if bagatelle goes through with her plans to send a certain mod her camel.

you guys need to check out the worlds (and UAE's) most expensive camel worth $4.5 Million USD. How many cars have you seen worth that much?

I'm waiting for the camel in the mail. You can send Jazz the Honda.

Images of camels remind me of my Dowager's Hump.

^ stand up straight...

Ptooie! (That's the entirety of my spit-shine joke.)

Would that be one hump, or two?

two is always better

here is the link for the $4.5Million camel

Most Expensive Camel

I'm sending the model of camel, which did not endure winter conditions too well.

Camels in the snow

What comes to Honda, we can not deliver until later in the spring...

compaing the worlds most expensive camel vs the worlds most expensive car though, i think i'd take the car.

thats a good choice Event Horizon. i was hoping you'd say that.

cars are depreciating assets. Camels keep their value throughout their life and can even increase in value dependant on lineage and race value ( yes camel racing is massive here - as is horse racing).

show me a 4 Million dollar car that can reproduce and give you another multi-dollar car without having to go to a manufacturer and i'll accept your theory thats cars are better than camels.

But can you make out comfortably on a camel, like in a car?

/please say yes

no, but can you make a home AND eat your car at the same time?

if its good enough for bear grylls

Fremen,

I'm pretty sure the last car you could make out comfortably in was built in 1979.

Trying to make out in a 2001 Honda Civic is utter torture. Total boner stomper.

...

Dlish,

Whoa, they totally ripped that shit off the second Star Wars movie.

Somebody call John Rambo... we've got Green Beret Cow Hiding here.

And... uh... Bear Grylls drinks his own urine repeatedly for no reason.

I'm pretty sure he does it for shock value. Like 90% of his silly show.

"I'm going to have to jump off this cliff!" instead of climbing down.

Survival reality edutainment is a new subgenre I don't quite take serious.

/thread jack off

Hmm, good point, unless it's a van or extended cab pick-up, you can't comfortably apply the right torque to the wrench to get the motor running in today's cars.

/no jacking-off of the thread with the camels present
//think of the children
///wait, what?

And you can't use the line "we ran out of gas" on a camel that easily.

You can if you shoot the camel.

"Is the camel, he'a very old and I hada put him down. Sexy time, yes?"

Wow.

We're never going to get any camels to join TFP once they see this thread.

granted, cars cant reproduce. but what about all the cool stuff like stereos, cupholders, and going fast? that shit is important. some other things to consider:

how long does it take to make a 4 million dollar camel?
if/when the camel reproduces, will its offspring also be worth as much?
i spend about 200 bucks a month on gas and my car goes over snow, rocks, and sand. what are the upkeep costs vs benefits of a camel?
i can let my car sit in my garage without it shitting on the floor.
my car can travel 500 miles in a day and still be used the next day.

tl;dr - i would still have a car

My camel & I are highly offended by this thread. Fuck you all and the camel you rode in on.

i dont see why you're trying to convince me about owning a car when we do shit like this



ive seen this shit done with my own eyes, so i know its for real... do you really want us to move on from the camel?

Baraka wins the thread. I didn't even have to make a Arnold/Conan reference and he posted exactly what I wanted. Heck yes.

A camel-punching Conan and the Arab world's answer to the Duke boys...

I'm in awe!

Btw, those llamas were totally laughing at that camel, Baraka.


/a whole llama laughs.

Coming soon to a TFP near you - a Camel Toe thread!

ewww!

keep your camel to yourself dude. I'll pay $4 Million not to see that

...Channeling Jetee...

I believe the term is "moose knuckle" as it applies to men showing off "genital cleavage" through tight trousers.

The term became popular when it was modified and used against someone as "Pfft, that's a mouse knuckle."

Imagining Dlish's "Crikey!" Aussie accent in this thread is priceless.

"D'like a lickie of your camel toe?"
