The scary thing is that apparently, there are actually people out there who fall for this gibberish. It never ceases to amaze me.

This is pretty common actually, and lots of times they are scams from Nigeria, from what I've been told. The Lexus dealership where I work has had a nigerian scam tried upon us for years where they try to get us to provide our account information so they can wire the money to our account for a new Lexus and actually are attempting to steal money from us. Apparently it worked at some dealerships in the last five years.



All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies

Has this been mentioned here before? Who cares, it's funny enough to post twice:

I think yahoo filtered out this puppy for me. Somebody might be able to trace this moran's IP, unless it's just a newfangled bot that wants to be taken care of and believes "God is love".

I didn't get this either, though I did get one from a FRNK_BLCK who promised to let me Kim Deal if I let show him around Manchester when they play here tomorrow.


I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place
