Blogger gets a house from a fucking paper clip...


So this 26 year old dude started a bartering campaign with just a single red paper clip.

He traded the clip for a fish pen, and the fish pen for a door knob.

The knob for a little stove, and the stove for a generator. He traded the generator for a party with a beer sign and a keg, and then got media attention by trading the party for a snow mobile from a famous radio show host.

He traded the snow mobile for a trip to Yahk, BC, which got more attention because he manipulated a famous CBC show host to come to Yahk as well (It's pretty fucking funny how he did it actually).

He then traded the trip for a recording contract, and traded that for a year's free rent in Phoenix. The bitch next door to the duplex in Phoenix wanted a year's free rent with no neighbors, so she traded an afternoon with Alice Cooper (her boss).

He traded that for a KISS snow globe, then traded that for a part in a Corbin Bernsen movie (who is apparently an avid snow globe collector *gay!*).

He then traded the part in the movie for a house, his ultimate goal!

Dude! I have a blue paper clip!
