Tigga,

The only Japanese I know may be useful for you. Try, “Hie, Hie, no-me-tie”. It translates as “Hello, Hello, let’s get drunk.”

Now, Nigerians have a bad reputation overseas, but you will not believe how bad it is in Africa. It has been used by unscrupulous market traders in West Africa, getting a number of Nigerians killed. Nigerians are reputed to be voodoo masters and thieves. So, when a Nigerian moves into your market and offers legitimate commercial compatition to your business, you walk up and shake hands. You then loudly scream, “He stole my penis!”

The story is that if you shake hands with a Nigerian voodoo man, he can take several inches off your penis, by magic means. As such, all the non-Nigerian traders rush up to you and begin beating the Nigerian for his evil deed. Several have been killed, but in one incident, a wise policeman in Senegal managed to step in and calm things down. He then asked what the problem was and the Senegalese trader repeated the claim his penis had been stolen. The cop then said, “Well, I want proof, drop your troUsers.” The trader promptly did so, displaying his tackle to the crowd. The cop said, “It looks fine to me” to which the trader replied “It used to be bigger!”

Now, for those of you who think this is an urban legend, I can confirm the part about Nigerian deaths from beatings and alleged penis theft. I can not confirm the part about the Senegalese cop, but since they are going to take the World Cup, we can assume they are pretty virtuous.

I have been called arrogant. I prefer to think of it as very self-confident. This has only been over the Last 3 years and is a rather refreshing feeling. 4 years ago you could…, well, that was then and this is now. Yes I do generalize and all generalities are false, (including that one)

None-the-less, I do feel your game play will be predictable. I will be pleasantly surprised if it is not.

[Growltigga]

Gryphin, well, prepare to be pleasantly surprised

Saxon, our good member, in regards to your association with these voodoo individuals, I would seriously look into the situations that you have experienced as of late with those of the fluffy bunny type. Could you have made one of these voodoo subjects upset with you in any way in which they may have taken exception to whatever diabolical scheme you were involved in at the time. Of course this is all conjecture, but may be worth looking into, also if they shrink do they also enlarge ? I could see some $$ possiblities here if that is the case.

Oh large Kat, weird, would mean odd, eerie, strange, unnatural, peculiar or spooky, I will give you that over here in the colonies there are definitly those of this questionable characterization, including bigfoot, ufos, politicians and other quality personas. However, without this added attraction, those who are normal would never stand out even if they wanted to and thus would be unrecognized in the scheme of the Universe. To further enhance upon this unique discussion I have submitted several survey questioneers and purported to publish them in some of the local newspapers for statistical analysis. The resulting information should be of great scientific knowledge into exactly what weird expressly is and how it may be involved in the factors of life.

In addition, I see that poor Tesco has a spelling disability, but seeing how he keeps late hours on Trillian, it is excusable, In order to help in the personification of the proper spelling of specifics I would like to put foreward the proper spelling....

UUUU SSSS AAAA
UUUU SSSS AAAA

as you will notice there are 4 letters that help give the inflection of the proper sound, and thus the proper spelling which increases ones knowledge into the pronunciation of the word in question

UUUU SSSS AAAA
we are going all the way.....

just some ideas mac

E-mail scams are a growing problem. You've almost certainly heard from a high government official in Nigeria recently, offering you millions of dollars if you'll just help him or her sneak some money out of the country.

You don't have to be smart, either.

That Nigerian scam alone - there are several Versions, but all share the same basic plot - took Americans for $22 million in the Last quarter of 2001.

I have but one question... How stupid are people?

Answer, just read above in bold.

*NOTE*
I actually know a guy who fell, correction, is falling for this scam. He has even asked me for money. I told him it was a scam, showed him it was a scam, and yestarday I discovered, via his wife, he just shelled out another $500.00 dollars to these people. (Yes he is a stupid as he is gready) All total, according to his wife, he has sent these people nearly $2,500.00 bucks. Did I mention he was stupid?
