I'm game...
Sell my soul to... who? what? (w/o revealing my own lineage) I like Tom Wait's take on Deity: " the Devil's just God when he's drunk!" And so I temporarily awaken from my own drunken stupor to sincerely answer your question. I've sold my soul for this purpose... to: Empty all the hells ( Jewish/Buddhist/Christian/Muslim etc.) to empty all the hells and permanently dismantle all of them for all time. And... to empty all the heavens ( Muslim/Christian/Buddhist /Jewish etc.) empty all the heavens and permanently dismantle all of them for all time. I have sold my soul(s) to be the last man/woman standing. I am the janitor who sweeps out the theatre after every one has left. ...and wakes up the few who fell asleep in their seats & tells them it's time to leave. That's enough, eh? T.S.F. |

Yes, but I was lying. If I told the truth--that I would really sell my soul if my beloved Christina could be brought back to life (the life she apparently took herself at the age of 23)--well, that'd be a thread killer, wouldn't it?

Sadly, reality tends to lack a punchline.
So, let's ignore reality and play with fantasy instead... We're up to 70 ideas: A Honus Wagner Baseball Card A living Dodo Bird. A private identity to allow a very famous person to be able to go out in public unnoticed. A song-writing career as successful as Elton John. A special devil-proof soul protector. A wonderful sense of humor. All the contents of the Secret Warehouse. All the gold in Fort Knox. An occasional orgy with me as the only guy, and no guilt feelings regarding my (absent for the orgy) wife. An original Gutenberg Bible. Become a movie star with a string of blockbuster hits. Bring back a lost relative or lover from the dead. Bring my beloved Christina back to life, who took her own life at age 23. Bringing bad luck on their worst foe. Complete and utter mind control. Conquering death and immortality. Cure all by thought and touch. Cure an incurable disease. Develop extraordinary ability to hit a baseball...become an All-Star....and lead one's local MLB team to one (or multiple) World Series championship(s). Empty all the heavens (Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, etc.) and permanently dismantle all of them for all time. Empty all the hells (Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, etc.) and permanently dismantle all of them for all time. Ending a persistent pain. Endless money. Eternal health; never to be sick or in pain. Eternal supply of Hostess® cherry pies, beer and Fritos®. Fame, fortune, and the ability to play the harp Forbidden donut. Getting a promotion. Getting your hands on Witchboard three months before anyone else. Immortality. Invent "cold fusion" and end the world's energy problems. Invincibility including non-drowning/suffocation/disease/poisoning, so they could tickle a tiger. Invisibility. Knowing and controlling the thoughts of others. Luck in gambling. Luck with women. Mastery and control of time. Omniscience. Power. Recognized as the world's preeminent brain surgeon. Revenge. Ruler of the known universe. Ruler of the unknown universe. Saving a loved one. Shapeshifting including vocal ability. Succeeding in business. The ability to breathe underwater. The ability to cross both space and time. The ability to fly. The ability to truly read minds. The knowledge of how to keep one’s soul even after it has been bargained away. The knowledge of how to solve a Rubik's Cube in less than 30 seconds. The love of a good woman. The power to control the elements. The wisdom of Solomon. The unreleased version of The White Album with the original pictures on the cover. To be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. To be able to make anyone say anything I wanted them to and they'd believe it. To be able to turn lead to gold. To develop legendary oratorical abilities which entertain and persuade, providing the ability to persuade the public about key substantive political, educational, environmental and budgetary issues. To have any object appear in my hands upon command. To instantly know everything about whoever I wanted (including their secrets) if I wanted to. To know the meaning of life. To know what stocks will increase in value the day before. To mimic any skill they ever read, saw or thought about To write brilliantly and achieve acclaim from book critics and the public alike, and to have each book written top the best seller list and awarded prestigious literature prizes. Transmogrification. Two souls. Wealth. World peace for a thousand years Can you add to the list? Can you make one of the above items more specific? Get creative! I'll be ending the contest once I have enough ideas...

I'd sell my soul to be able to heal all that I touch - physically and mentally. Of course, then I wouldn't have a job so then I'd wanna battle demons...or Pokemon.

I think this might have good implementation:
I know some people who would be tempted to sell their soul for the chance to go back in time and change an event in their past.

Well my names Johnny and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet, you gonna regret, because I'm the best there's ever been.
Not really selling my soul, but wagering it against the Devil at a chance to win a fiddle of gold. I once received an e-mail from the Devil. Well not really from him his personal accountant Dr. Muhbulu who was holding a large cash amount in a Nigerian bank account. $50 MILLION DOLLARS! The Devil was not able to get this money himself due to politcal corruption and had asked Dr. Muhbulu to contact me as he knew I could be trusted. He needed to move that money out of Nigeria. All I had to do was to allow Dr. Muhbulu to DEPOSIT the $50 MILLION DOLLORS into my bank account for safe keeping. After all was said and done I would be allowed to keep 15% of the total $50 MILLION DOLLARS. All I had to do was to give him all of my personal information, and my bank account #'s so he could transfer the $50 MILLION DOLLARS to my account. Once I get it I would be instructed as to what to do next. Dr. Muhbulu did inform me that there is a small prossessing fee to get this money release. I was to send him through Western Union the small fee of MY SOUL. Sadly Western Union was unable to make the transfer. Pitty really as it sounded like a pretty good deal. John Kardel

I am the owner of anothers soul.
A friend of mine foolishly exchanged it for a jaffa cake.

And living beings remain in cyclic existence, For that long, may I too remain, to dispel the sufferings of the world. -Shantideva Engaging in the Conduct of a Bodhisattva |

If one would sell his soul to the Devil:
1.) Absolution from sin(or disbelief in sin). Doing anything you want and getting away with it. "Do as thou wilt" some say.(so Aleister Crowley-esque.) Maybe the routine would consist of the modern-day Faustus do something irreversible yet somehow something eerie would happen that would alter it or straighten things out. Well, you get the idea. 2.) Summon Hell to the physical world, and providing proof of its presence/existence. Alel |

I can see several special interest groups feeling sorry for those in Hell and looking to help suport them. What kind of God would create such a horrible place, just to send those that he created, that he knew would end up there when he created them? I can see Beazulbub on Operah pleading his case and the masses agreeing with him/she. Neat idea. John Kardel

If I wanted to solve a Rubik's Cube in less than 30 seconds I would just use ending of your routine.
