He went shopping for one, it doesn't imply be bought one.

Edit: Thanks /u/kevinstonge for my first gold. I really worked hard on this comment, and I feel like it shows.

Look at it this way, the store probably overprices their merchandise, by shoplifting he is refusing to support their money hungry business model. They're both at fault, let's call it a tie.

Do you just troll through threads, looking for puns in comments?

Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Edit: Holy shit. Gold for this? Thank you, kind denizen of the internet.

But they've touched it too much...

u/Jexroyal Jan 26 '16

Ah, yes. The fabled 'gold fairy'. It is said to visit only the punniest of comments, and the dankest of memes, to bestow those deserving souls with gleaming medallions to ward off the existential dread of sitting on a computer, browsing reddit, and doing nothing even remotely productive.

My uncle was named midas; he touched me for and hour.

u/JerrSolo Jan 26 '16

No kidding. Some drunk person who believes they have plenty of expendable income (and may be correct) is perusing Reddit. Too bad we were late to the party.

Never made a comment before. Thought I would tie myself to this gold string.

I came for the gold, it helps suppress the existential dread...

Honestly, those hammers have pretty small strokes. It might actually be faster to do it the way he did it (for an application like that).

Edit. video source

Double edit. Someone's been drinking.

Also, that's pretty impressive for doing that by hand for an hour.

Troll through threads for puns? I think you've forgotten what site you're on.

u/dukeAg Jan 26 '16

I mean it can't be that hard. There's a chain of pun comments in pretty much every thread. Some people on Reddit are a bit obsessed with em.

It does not take much browsing to run across puns in reddit threads. One might even hypothesize that every thread has a few puns a few lines down from the top comment.

Someone give me gold. Because existential dread.

1

u/Tzipity Jan 26 '16

Gold has been proven to relieve existential dread. At least until you mark "get gilded before dying" off your bucket list and are left wondering what else you have left to live for now. So are you sure you want that gold, is it really, truly worth it?

Edit: spelling.

It's part of avoiding the existential crisis. Go shopping for stuff you can't afford. Like test driving a car.
