Her trail is gone, all she has to do is use a library computer, but yours isn't
I can't believe you people actually sent her emails knowing your IP addresses could get recorded. oh well
number 2, if they were using it to scope out houses, they wouldn't rob it right away, they'd just collect targets to rob whenever they felt like it, maybe a month later. and what are you going to do, go to the cops with emails suggested YOU wanted to trade rent for sex? her email is not traceable anyway
number 3, if you give her $20 bucks, I'm sure she'd tell you who tipped her off
7 pm, time to go out for dinner
If you guys like this sort of thing, I would urge you to check out 419eater.com. It is a scambaiting site targeted at 419 scammers (the Nigerian guys). You essentially enter into a dialogue with the scammer to 1) waste their time and 2) entertain yourself. I have a couple of friends who did this once. It seems like the ultimate goal is to string their greedy ass along to the point where they will do anything to get money from you.
What an absolutely shitty way to end Friday the 13th. The Horror!!!!!!! :FIREdevil
Dude you watch to much CSI or scooby doo or something, jesus how do you come up with this shit?Quote:

Holy hell, this is a fun group - props to YC!
In Buenos Aires, A friend and I went to a bordello club. Place was unreal. Must have been 20 to 1 odds - in our favor. Many of the girls there were unbelievably gorgeous. The girls took off their clothes, then the madame sang a song, then a couple did the tango, etc., etc. Place was like a reincarnation of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, complete with Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton characters. The doorman was a Latino dude from West Covina. The two hour a pop hotel was just down the street if you wanted to take a girl to a room. While drinking, we met an orange grower named Aldo.
Aldo was really a cool old dude. He told us about how girls drift into BA from all over South America in hopes of finding a better life and, in desperation, end up selling their bodies to get by. He explained that they were actually very good people looking for a way to get by until they found something better. He told us how he took one girl home, 300 km away, for three months. Which was kinda funny, because he also told us he was married. But he said this girl was always correct and helped his wife around the house and was his concubine and it all worked out because his girl was good people.
The Yank doorman, who'd let his visa expire and was working under the table, said he never wanted to go home. He'd met the girl of his dreams while she was applying for a job at the club, hooked up with her, and married her. He was in Heaven and supported her while she attended college. He said the same things about the girls at the club as Aldo. They were just trying to get by. The perspective was very interesting. Prostitution is legal throughout most of South America and the taboo doesn't exist like it does here in our falsely puritanical society.
This was a funny played out on the interweb out of that end of season boredom that prevails here. Nobody's feelings were intended to be hurt. I live somewhere that prostitution is legal. I've heard the pros and cons and believe legality is good for the biological sanity of the male segment of society. Nobody here has walked in her shoes and knows how good or bad this woman is. Honestly, I can't pass judgement. Gig's up.
Best of luck to her.

This totally blows a big one. SquawMan, no offense, but you're being an idiot. First you act all scared like it's a cop scam, then you try to be cool posting a picture of what Splat should dress up like during the meeting, and then you're back to idiot-mode. I wouldn't be surprised if it was you who clued Jessica or whomever it was in on our little game. Boooo to you. No points.
What a great thread though, eh? And Splat, we're still on for apps and drinks on Sunday. I have your number.
Goddammit. I never win the Powerball either....
(weeping quietly, yet angrily, in the corner)
Dude don't even bother playing tomorrow, I am sooo due!!Quote:

I have to admit the only thing that made me laugh out loud was bad_roo's comment about having a cannon that fired old refrigerators into the lake. That was gold...pure gold.
EDIT: oh yeah, I thought it was pretty funny when she described herself as "zuftig" (sic) in one of her emails!

the warnings were meant to wake you up to the possibility that maybe you shouldn't be sending traceable emails to people with bad intentions
you don't have to heed the warning, it's your choice, but whoever is on the other side has your IP address with which they can locate you if they want.
if she was clever, she'd use your own email addresses to punk you back for her own jollies, ever think of that
it's not hard to find out who the tipper was, just offer her cash, I'm sure some amount will make her give it up
so this evening i got in a great 1 1/2 hour mtn bike ride on Emigrant... thought about this thread etc. i came home, had dinner, and grabbed a beer, ready to catch up on the latest developments.Quote:

i hope that if she is for real, she figures things out to make a better life for her and her son. And as Splat said above, best of luck to her.

No question, IMO the best, sanest, most human post of the entire thread, which I managed to plow through, increasingly agog, this evening. Good thing that the slow-motion trainwreck 'Nater predicted never came to pass, if, indeed, she was for real.Quote:

That just sounds kinda strange. I wouldn't be surprised if there is another board somewhere on the interweb with a thread about this thread.Quote:

Or maybe it's just a conspiracy.
Ah well, it was too good to last. Squawman, stop diggin your moronic hole.

Sigh.
I had a nightmare last night that this thread was over.
Alas, it is true.
It had to end sometime, though, and actually meeting her might have been
anti-climactic since it seems no one wanted to do the deed and taste the goods.
Perhaps this is the best ending after all.
Who was it that said this thread was not funny - but "cruel is funny"??
I guess the informant might have, instead of sparing her from cruelty,
have created the very cruelty that this thread needed to achieve maximum humor. ;)
Hehe, can't believe I didn't think of this earlier:
You could say the fat lady has sung on this project...

DAMNIT, MOM.
I hate when you do this.
I'm telling dad.
I was thinking that Onehotchili, SuPu, Viva, Roo, and Yoga all conspired to create a fake craigslist ad, to which they all "responded" and created fake replies.
What a great introduction to this place.
Yeah. I was about to say, onehotchili may have just been bored enough to take on this whole project. If so, kudos to that guy for some great entertainment. If "Jessica" is somehow real, best of luck to her.Quote:

Usually newbies are called "jong" and such,
but I will dispense with all that and suggest the other great newbie tradition,
which is to post naked pictures of yourself ;)
P.S. - actually, the best introduction to this place is here:

Beyond that, I paid her a nice complement.
I do like chocolate, although I'm married now, so I can't go to Baskin Robbins like I used to ;)
I registered here the same time as you, but I have been "born again" with a new name. Get over it.Quote:
