Way to make $200

Sperm is $100 a "donation" in your area, although I imagine they screen pretty heavily and there may be a sliding scale based on how desirable your genetic makeup is. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
But really now, do you want to be the father of a child you'll never meet or know?
Plasma isn't as much but isn't a moral dilemma either. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I look at it as I'll make a lesbian couple or ect. Very happy by giving them the opportunity to have a baby. That and I hate needles.
Let's see... brain surgeon, $100, bassist $1.59
What if he's a brain surgeon who plays bass?
Wow, I never really sat and thought about it, but it sounds like sperm banks are pretty much legalized institutions of eugenics.
Which brings us to the question: How the hell did David Crosby get considered as a high-quality specimen donor?!

DON'T do that.
There is a payday loan office on every street corner where I live. Are people really that financially irresponsible, or are they having crises as frequently as they visit Starbucks and Walgreens? You would have to be absolutely desperate for money to agree to their terms. Borrow a dollar and you'll owe twenty...
I said absolutely necessary
Find a loan shark. And when you can't pay it back, play back room poker games that will only increase you debt and be forever in debt to your loan shark.
$200 ASAP on a Friday afternoon.
What happened?
Selling drugs is wrong. Just go to Mexico. Find a Los Zetas drug dealer. Take his money. He'll probably have more than $200 and he may not be willing to let you just take it.
how asap?
in your profile you list a hobby developing games. this means you probably have at least a better than average grasp on one or two languages, codes or whatever. go to a temp agency. they'll find you something, really. jeez, dude only 200? i need 12,000 as soon as possible. f**k a 40 gal bag of beer cans gets you about 8 bucks where i live. old dead extension cables, guitar cables, anything with copper in it.... 200 bucks? i could get 1/4 of that with about 2 hours of FREE scavenging on trash night! tear up some of that old electronic junk in the basement and get the copper out of the transformers... everything is worth something to somebody, especially if it's got metal in it. how many old computers do you have? there's always somebody looking for those. how well do you play bass? hell, 10 bucks for 30 mins of instruction... which brings up a point, got a resume posted yet? if "no" then get the hell off here and go do that. if you just want some GAS item or drugs then i'm glad you are having trouble. no ill will intended, but i wish my money woes were that small, holy moley doooood!

But seriously $200? Go to a street corner and jam for a few hours. I made $150 in 3 hours downtown playing guitar.
Mow lawns.
Lemonade stand.
Got a blender? Go buy some big syrup things from Costco. Get an asston of ice blend it up pour the syrup on it and sell it on a corner. On a hot day people jump all over that stuff.
I may have slightly cheated by setting up on the corner next to a park that was having a giant beach volleyball tournament, at one point I had a crowd of 40 or so people around me singing along to "yellow submarine"... I've never actually made that much any other time.
