Today, I bore witness to one of the most tenacious, determined, and...oh dear, I seem to have run out of adjectives, beggars in the whole community. What is so special about Kiki? Yes, I know that she/he/it is a monthly collectible, if I am not mistaken...but still, just a simple bunch of artistically crafted pixels. Going at about....200k gaian gold I believe.

Quite a hefty price, but alas, gaian gold is just strings of programming.

Now, there was this individual who wouldn't stop pestering another well-off Gaian. The latter had worked long and hard for their current position, and thus, had bragging rights in the form of expensive items. The beggar was making up stories with more holes than a roll of swiss cheese, and the be-buggered was so amused by such futility, that she simply sat there, rebuking his lies with well-aimed logical blows. Most beggars would leave -having taken the hint- but this one kept going like the Energizer bunny. It was highly amusing to see him try to get his facts straight.

Then, he left, begged the whole room, and came back. I wonder if he has Asperger's. Perhaps he does. Effectively, he kept jumping back into the shark tank, with pork floatation wings. It was good fun for a while.

And with all good things, he finally left. Ah well.
