As bat shit crazy as it sounds, I don’t. I let the name “come to me”, or wait for the critter to pick its name.
It isn’t literal woowoo hippy bullshit, but it looks like or when I try to explain it lol.
But it’s a matter of letting the subconscious mind have a chance to percolate with the personality and “nature” of the pet.
But it just kind of pops into my head at some point. Might be the second I meet the animal, might be weeks later. And it never fails me because when I let that happen, the animal immediately recognizes the name as theirs. That’s held true for anything but invertebrates and most fish, even a pissy iguana and an unusually smart oscar.
What sucks is that sometimes the name isn’t very cool lol. For every shaitan and samson, there’s a sugarplum and a cricket.
Why do these always exist before the internet? We can order bullion online now. It’s almost midnight in a fairly rural area
But yeah, I know a guy that will sell certain things for cash that normally require legal hurdles. But if you show up, cash in hand, he’ll backdate things on his end. One phone call, I could buy out his stock in fifteen minutes because I’m a regular customer he trusts. He’s usually got a few hundred thousand of goods in place.
Barring that, I’m kinda screwed at this time of night.
I know a couple of farmers that would let me buy livestock in cash like this, but that’s only going to be a few thousand bucks.
I know a weed dealer that would be able to give me a few pounds if he’s got it in, but I would have to call and ask how much he has.
Do services count? If so, I’ve got an idea for a cheat lol. Hire my wife for a back rub.
So, I just took a second and sent a text to an acquaintance and explained the scenario. Turns out you can buy a car in an hour or less. It’s just a matter of paperwork to make the sale official. So, if you know a car dealer, and they have enough on their lot, you could easily get rid of most of that million in time. Most of the time wasted isn’t really necessary. If the dealer and the buyer are already on the same page with the price, you could get as many cars as you have time to sign for.
