My name is Kyle MacDonald and I traded one red paperclip for a house. I started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 I traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street. (Click on pictures below to read about each trade!)

I double dare you to buy this quality dog-enhancing product. Actually, I double dog dare you. have fun - Kyle

I would do it if I had a dog or a kitty. And a couch. But I have none of those.
I dare you to put together a contest challenging people to find new uses for the doggy steps. I super dare you.
And the winner would have one of these....

I DONT KNOW WHATS FREAKIER, THE FACT THAT THERE IS A COMMERCIAL FOR THESE THINGS OF THE FACT THAT I WOULD PROBABLY BUY ONE. IF I DID I GUESS I COULD TRADE THE OTHER--WHATCHA GOT??

Okay, I know you totally meant these doggy stairs as a joke, but my parents saw them and NOW...they think they NEED this thing.
Gotta tell you that your writing is 'pee your pants funny' (I plead the 5th as to whether that actually happened or not...) and I can't wait for the book to come out.
I found out about you through my online scrapbooking group, so now you can be assured that you really have made it, if 'it' is where you wanted to be that is. :)
Keep trucking, you are brightening our otherwise mundane lives.

What ever happened to keeping the dogs off the freakin' furniture?

Heh. You could build doggy stairs for less money.

On another note, when are you going to pick your next trade? The Summer in Hollywood option is already nil - they said they were leaving the 22nd.

How awesome would being the national spokesperson for Doggy Steps be? Uh...

I wonder what hour of the night does that commercial comes on. Between the Bedazzler Deluxe and the Bacon Magic Wave?

This evening you and your project were on national (dutch) television, the young people's news program.
It was announced that you go world wide, I am curiuous if your global networking effort really leads to a dutch trade exchange! Best of luck.

This evening your project was on national (dutch) television, a youth news program. It was said that you go world wide. Probably you will find new dutch traders in your exchange program.
Very fascinating how networking and communicating may make such initiatives successful.

Thabks to your ringing endorsement of such an awesome and under-publicized product, I not only bought the doggie steps, but ALSO the fourth step addition as well. I want the doggie steps people to know that I would not have bought these products if not for you.
