LOL...you crack me up.
I know what OMG is.
I know what WTF is.
What's BBQ? Barbeque? It doesn't seem to fit, given the context. Thanks?! 
LMAO about the "That sounds about as exciting as a scrapbooking party"...I hate that isht too.
PS I had a date with a guy last night who sells for "Market America", which is why I am so freaked out about these "cult businesses" right now. Suffice it to say, there will be no 2nd date. I was afraid that I would not be able to leave the restaurant with my life....

I just throw on the BBQ even though it doesn't make sense because it's like I have to say OMG and WTF and I have to say something else too to really, effectively convey the dismay I am feeling and BBQ is a nice, random, three-letter thing to throw on the end. LOL.
Market America sounds really hot -- does it involve everybody in the country setting up a tiny grocery store in his or her house?

I think it's an Intar-Mall...you never need to leave your house! You buy EVERYTHING from home. 
I said to him, straight up, "So is it like Amway?" and he of course told me that it was NOT. Yeah, whatever buddy.
It reminds me of that scene in "Go" where Scott Wolf and some other dude are kidnapped by that guy on the TV show "Invasion" [William Fichtner] and they think they are going to be made into sex slaves, but actually the guy just wants them to sell "Confederated Products" for him. And both Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr go "You want us to SELL AMWAY??"
A classic moment, if ever there was!!
(I just found this synopsis here:
"Adam and Zack get more than they bargained for in their dealings with a cop named Burke (William Fichtner) in order to secure his favour with regards to a drug infraction they've committed. In exchange for the favour, Burke presents them with a proposal to join Confederated Products, an Amway-like "business"... ")

Look at what we are missing out on...LOL
"Market America is changing how the world does business. Most companies sell their products to the masses. Our products are designed around one individual - YOU.
By using the latest advancements in Internet technology, One-to-One Marketing and information analysis, Market America opens a personal portal to a new world of customized products and services. Our products are not mass-produced; they are mass-customized to meet your everyday needs.
To some companies, change is frightening. Embracing relationships with our customers and independent distributors gives Market America the ability to meet market demands as they shift. The unique ability to shift with the market is built upon the information gathered, stored, analyzed and mined. We know exactly what our customers want and we deliver it right to their door.
Tell us what you want."

Ha, I've never seen that.
Maybe this is weird, but I don't even know what Amway is. Do they sell laundry detergent for wacked-out religious fundamentalists in the rural midwest?

One of my babysitters was into AMWAY for a while. Like MK and AVON, they do sell makeup and skin care, but they sell household stuff too (cleaners, vitamins, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc.)

Technically, there is no more Amway. There are different outlets of Amway...all with different names, but there is no more "Amway."
And...Mary Kay, Amway, Avon....etc, are not "pyramid scams" because if you haven't realized, everything is a pyramid. Walmart, McDonalds, etc.

Also, wtf are Longaberger baskets? Are they just baskets?

OK, so it WAS solid cologne. I was going to type that, and then I thought I must be remembering wrong b/c I have never otherwise heard of solid cologne. I had the one with the apple & worm also. I actually wish I still had those. I may check Ebay...
By the way, Longaberger are very nice, well-made baskets. I have no problem with them except that they make baskets for EVERYTHING. Who wants a basket purse? I bought an Easter basket and a bread basket, but they make all these bizarre ones and they cost a fortune.

The Market America website -- WTF? Mall without walls? The hell? I've heard of that -- it's called the INTERNET, where I can buy brand-name stuff that I like instead of your jacked-up MOTIVES cosmetics.
Okay, and this is weird. Apparently they have some brands you've actually heard of before:
The Basic Essentials Store features name-brand, household items that can be purchased online from Market America and shipped directly to your home. From toothpaste and shaving cream to trash bags and cough drops, the Basic Essentials Store gives you the convenience of grocery store and pharmacy shopping right from your own home.
Market America Products are available for purchase exclusively from Market America Customer Managers. Find a Customer Manager now.
How is this a benefit? I could go online to one of a million websites to buy this shit and have it shipped directly to my home. Why in the hell would I want to contact a Customer Manager to do something I could do online without having to talk to their annoying asses?
It seems like this is an attempt by someone to get hip to the internet about 10 years too late.

I don't care if they are pyramid scams or non-pyramid non-scams. I just don't like people coming to MY HOUSE trying to sell me crap or pressuring me into hosting one of those BS "home parties". If I want something, I go to the store and I buy it. The End.
PS McDonalds and WalMart do not make house calls.

My director makes over 150,000.00 a year and its mostly off of makeup sells. We are a lil' unit.
There are a lot of good mary kay things that go on. SO I dont' think its a scam.

I can't believe this thread is 3 pages and no one has mentioned pre-paid legal! That one is the worst, everyone I know is selling pre-paid legal, so who are they selling to?
I'm a mark rep, only so that I can get stuff at a discount. I order things for my things whenever they want something too.
