Is that a commentary on all ball handling? I must be one of the few not in the known. |

Being of unsound mind, I Paul, Chief Collector of hundreds of useless cameras, decided to investigate the Blackfoot Chief of the US of A I needed to go no further than the first entry Google brought back to me: Paranormal Times I think the replies section is so full of that `infinite wisdom of which you all seek that it should be compulsory reading before any of you post here again! I have extracted a special quote which I now dedicate to R2 and Mike from Yorkshire " Hello. I’m from the seti programme. Does anyone know where I can find the thought technologies? I’m looking for A... umm, I want to buy a telepathic modem or a microwave oven. I have a telescope that can see in the night time. They told me how to take out the mind staples. They said, don’t be afraid this is standard procedure. They said, I was apart of some sort of research or something. Then I saw the scientists in white lab coats. They threw me into a bowl of water and told me to scrub myself clean. I did but I didn’t use any soap. They gave me a key card with the number 26 on it, to open up the security vaults. I’m going to turn my television to channel six. Do you have a flash light p.s. Will you say hi to E.T. for me. " Some real valuable advice there! Off to warm up in the microwave for a bit - its damn chilly outside. Paul West Wales - Dolphin country |

I just got the Yankees ticket spoof ebay - very cleverly done - even the web address that comes up when you press Respond Now looks good - http://www.ebay.com-ws.org/... rather than http://www.ebay.com/ws/... DON'T CLICK ON THEM!
Here's what ebay had to say Many of these fake emails contain a keystroke virus. If you clicked on any of the links in the email, you may have exposed your computer to this virus. I can see a lot of people falling for this one! R2 |

Ahhhh R2 - I was just gonna post the same thing.
I got an email *from* a buyer that purchased off me a little while back, claiming they hadnt received their item and were going to report me to now.....Didnt bother clicking the RESPOND NOW button as I remembered received feedback for the item and the lady had emailed me to say she was wrapped. I can see how easily people get trapped though. I got the same response from ebay.... Hello, Thank you for writing to eBay regarding an email message you received. We have reviewed your report and have found that the message you received was made to appear as if it had been sent by an eBay user; however, it was not. All email sent to you from other members through eBay's email system will also appear in the My Messages portion of My eBay. If you get an email to your registered eBay email address that looks like it's from eBay or another eBay member asking a question, check My Messages first. If it's not there, it's a fake email. Many of these fake emails contain a keystroke virus. If you clicked on any of the links in the email, you may have exposed your computer to this virus. We are unable to determine if your computer is actually infected with a virus. If you have not already done so, you should seek out a virus scanner program to use on your system. I have included a few links below to get you started in this effort: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/alerts/default.mspx http://vil.mcafee.com/default.asp? http://www.f-secure.com http://www.cnet.com http://securityresponse.symantec.com http://netsecurity.about.com/b/a/013754.htm http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/enterprise.htm As always, it's a good idea to keep your virus scanner up to date with the most recent virus definitions. If you do not have a virus scanner, you can run a free virus scan on your computer at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Until you are certain that your computer is virus free, you should take caution in your computer use. In addition, we suggest that you never open an email or attachment from someone you don't know. You may need to contact your email provider to disable any automatic downloading settings. It is advised that you only download attachments in a secure setting where you have the ability to scan for viruses before actually opening the attachment. Please take this opportunity to learn about and protect your computer from viruses from some of the Web sites above. To help you better protect yourself from fake eBay and PayPal Web sites, we have developed a feature for the eBay Toolbar called "Account Guard." Account Guard includes: 1. An indicator that shows when you are on an eBay or PayPal Web site or a known spoof (or "phishing") site. 2. Buttons to report fake eBay Web sites to us. 3. A password notification feature that warns you when you may be entering your eBay password on an unverified site. To learn more about the eBay Toolbar with Account Guard go to http://www.ebay.com, click on "Downloads" at the bottom of the page, and then click on the "eBay Toolbar" link. Once again, thank you for alerting us to the email you received. Thank you for your efforts to keep eBay a safe and fair place to trade. Lexie |

I gave up after the first few sentences. Could not figure exactly what the post was trying to say, and what the relation was to the original subject. Charles Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll had a much better command of our language! |

Spoof email – it’s better than NO email.
Spoof email - proves you’re someone (and THEY know who/where you are). |

Rick Maybe I haven't upset anyone on this forum with this bit of my soapbox yet! Here is the tame version: The world is divided into those who boot, bat or biff balls of divers shapes and sizes around fields of divers shapes and sizes and having incredibly complex rules, together with those who follow such things to the ends of the earth. Then there are the other sort that do none of these things. I am of the latter persuasion. |

I like this one - a bit like Coleridge whan he was a junkie, as in Kubla Khan. I would love kippers on a pizza as well, but have to settle for anchovies usually. Most anglers find kippers difficult to catch! Wonder what pizza'a means? Our takeaway has numbers! |

A kinsman! Tough thing to be a guy-guy and not be rabid about sports. Also, makes it next to impossible to carry on a conversation once the topic of sports is eliminated. But, there’s always the weather. Super Bowl Sunday isn’t as exciting for me as it is for those that love sports. But, even for someone like me, Janet Jackson was entertaining. Also, the Super Bowl commercials are entertaining, and INFORMATIVE, especially for kids that don’t know the potentially painful and embarrassing side effects of Viagra type products. Talk about foul play. The thought of having to be admitted to the emergency room because of “it” not wanting to discontinue standing-at-attention must have been a painful mental image for all the viewers – male and female alike. It would have been interesting to listen to some of the viewing-parents explain to their young daughter that “erect” didn’t only pertain to posture. [warning] If you’re under 18, don’t read that last paragraph.[/warning] |

Greetings Dear Children of many wishes!
Oh my God I'm so terribly offended...There seems to be one reaching for a kind of super approval in the great lime light of some "Yes Man" or woman! Not to mention this "Yes Man" or is it really a women?...exhibiting a juvenile picture of an empty mouth fit for the ocassion of some popular comment. And do you always play such a squeeky second fiddle to just any bone head blow hard on the net?...Dahhhh! You can validate me and my heritage by US Federal "chain of command"...If you are truly concerned about what is real and what is not concerning me...search for the history of the long time classified "royal program" sponsored by the US Federal Government in our early beginnings. Possibly the manner in which my letters were written wasn't up to your personal standards...but I can assure that they are readable...I can also assure you that if you don't believe it today...you will surely believe it as time continues regardless of my much to perfect grammar and overwhelming magnetic presentation of which you seem to be so concerned. It’s not necessary to write an apology and I don’t expect one! I am not sorry if I offended you in my cause to relate! After all you are all "big people" right?. Anyway, I believe it’s truly more of a cause that you learn at your own expense from that which you have already chosen. Yada! Yada! and Yada! Hell-Low and thanks for the encouragement...Because you have at least taken the time to make a comment...Many Blessings to you from The American Chieftain~Conrad M. Cummings "63", Federal Vendor, St.Louis MO. USA This message has been edited. Last edited by: The Red King, |
