Tiger Woods is working hard to illustrate the Steve Taylor lyric: "Double lives take half as long." :cool:

Yes, I just grave dug. Deal with it.

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Those letters are really fun to respond to and act scared. Then, if you can get the lad to go on a safari, even better.

Wow, I still speak the lingo.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! :hysteria: Especially love that it's "Agent Bauer" writing! I wonder if he'd send a picture?

Yep, that one's ripe for baiting.

There were three misspellings. That automatically means it's a scam.

You made it that far before deciding it was a scam? Caps lock was number one for me... oh and the horrible grammar.

The latest scam I'm getting is using PayPal. The "buyer" has some lame reason why they can't make the buy in person, wants to use PayPal to pay and will have an agent pick up the "item."

My terms are cash, FOB driveway.

If you lead them around enough, you can get some really cool stuff out of them, like artwork. However, if you are going to have them send you anything, make sure you have a secure PO Box, and preferrably out of town. Some of these scammers work for some pretty powerful guys with connections on six of the seven continents, and it isn't unheard of for you to be scambaiting for a good time, and suddenly you have someone on your doorstep because Koffi is upset with you.
