I almost feel sorry for the suckers who think they are legitimate. <br /><br />I'm surprised no Nigerian royalty needs anyone's Kickstarter funds and bank account information to transfer oil money.Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-54084103398225838452015-01-02T23:34:31.082-05:002015-01-02T23:34:31.082-05:00But I might be a bit jaded.

This is Joe Shmoe who makes his crazy-ass home video in his dirty socks while he has his on-the-sly Swedish girlfriend narrate the story even as his wife breastfeeds in the back. He, you see, is the one who is so enamored with his own idea that he is absolutely sure everyone else must be, too....and he has the retention of common sense comparable to a hole-ridden hobo sock used to squeeze out the blood from a particularly vicious midnight beating to insure that when he gets this email, be feels special, because suddenly and with great certainty he knows that Nick is speaking to him, personally. Because if he did have a lick of common sense he'd be able to pick up on the horribly crass fact that these letters depend heavily on people like him for their success.Doctor Futurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586371999646337047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-52772193187247396222015-01-02T20:51:53.699-05:002015-01-02T20:51:53.699-05:00I get these kinds of things too.
