Got this from a spammer...

At the beginning he's "larryp Willson with the Henry & Company" and he signs it as "Mr. Rev Henry Willson". Guy doesn't even know his own name.

RECEIVED:

REPLIED:

Dear Reverend Willson,

We do not have fire extinguishers, but I can make you an excellent deal on some gack. It has flame retardant properties and it's only slightly smelly, though I guess maybe it gets smellier if you throw it on something that's burning.

Either way, I've got an entire warehouse full of gack and no one is buying it, so I'll be glad to make you a very good deal if you want to buy it.

SEPTEMBER 9 - HE REPLIES!

May the Good GOD richly bless you, I will like you to get me the prices of the Gack, Also i will like to know do you ship international or do i have to recommend a shipping COMPANY WHOM WILL GET TO YOUR LOCATION FOR PICK UP AS SOON AS THE ORDER GETS READY FOR PICK UP..Also i will like you to tell me if you do take Credit Card's as a form of Payment.. I will be waiting for your Reply have a good and blessed Day

Blessing
Rev. Wilson

And, apparently, he's changed his name again. It's now Wilson with one L.

SEPTEMBER 9 - I REPLY BACK

Reverend Wilson,

To ship Gack internationally, I would need to apply for a license as the exportation of Gack is strictly regulated. I will need from you:

* The country to which it must be shipped

* The address in that country

* The name of the receiving agent at that address

* The name of the receiving agent's mother or father in case he/she is unavailable

* A description of what the receiving agent looks like so the shipper can recognize him or her. A photo would be okay.

* A photo of the receiving agent's mother or father in case the receiving agent is unavailable.

Our price on the Gack is $3 per kilo with a discount rate of $2200 per tonne. We do not accept credit cards. We accept cash and cashier's checks. You may also wire us money via Western Union.

The shipping cost on the Gack would depend on how much you were ordering and where it must be shipped to. As the quantity goes up, economies of scale enter the picture.

Thanks,

Greg

AND THEN HE REPLIED...

ok send me money soo tghat buy tha dcmnM Z

SO I REPLIED...

I'm sorry, Reverend Wilson. Your last message was unintelligible.

Do you have a drinking problem?

I think he figured out I'm messing with him. We'll see if he replies again.

I was browsing photos this evening, prepping more installments for my happiness site, when I saw a photo of a plane in the snow. After the recent heat wave, I thought about how it would be snowing again in 4 or 5 months, and came up with this little gem:

When it's too hot, we want to be cooler. When it's too cold, we want to be warmer. When it's just right, we want to be younger.

Feel free to quote me.

Okay, so I told my wife today who I think the mysterious Rebel is. I'll pose it in the form of a question: Which hero haven't we seen in a while who is really good with computers?

If Rebel doesn't turn out to be Micah, I'm going to be very surprised.

Okay, now that we're 16 chapters in, there are some supporting characters with significant roles yet to be introduced, but we've got our top-billed stars pretty well introduced... Kurt, Alain, George, Vinnie, and Marie (she'll be back).

I don't know about you, but I've got some ideas of who I'd cast for those roles, both in terms of current actors who are the right age, and maybe some older actors. I'd like to see whether you guys are seeing the same actors in the roles, if you're seeing totally different actors, and whether you're all thinking along the same lines or whether you're all just off on totally separate tangents.

I don't want to shape your thoughts, so I'm gonna wait until chapter 19 drops to reveal my dream cast. I'm going to get the ball rolling, though, with a picture of a guy who's now too old to play Vinnie, but this photo just screams Vinnie at me every time I see it...
