Messin With A Nigerian Miscreant

Posted Wed, 06/04/2008 - 09:55 by Clint

I’ve been trying to sell my Dell E1505 laptop as part of my mountain bike fund and because I hardly ever use the machine.  So I listed it for sale on Craigslist in Provo.  I’ve received several emails about it from some pretty unscrupulous people.

I thought it would be helpful and fun to share the email thread, so here goes:

War.  Huh, what is it good for?

Scientists and the military have finally invented a “ray gun” – funny how we’re always copying Hollywood!  This new ray gun is the latest advancement in warfare and crowd control.  Watch the video for a taste of how it works.

Living in Las Vegas, Nevada as a kid was a lot fun. That is if you like to play outside, and I did, well, still do really. All of my grade school years were spend exploring my world on East Monroe Street just southwest of Nellis Air Force Base.

I we lived there for 6 or 7 years and a lot of eventful things happened while we were there. Some of more eventful happenings were, to name a few. Our house was broken into and set on fire, my right eye got poked out, and I had my first kiss! Her name was Andrea. Also while there I decided what I wanted to be when I grew up.

Bart’s Got Nothin’ On Me

I guess these days it’s cool to have a disability – it must be the governments laws!

My friend and SEO mentor, Bary Gibby had a tragic accident when he was just a young whipper-snapper aged nine.

It resulted in a pretty gruesome, and I’ll bet super painful, accident.
