Since most of you......

.....didn't like the calves liver I made, how about some nice tuna and fresh vegetables. Lori had the recipe and we prepared it together.

• Coat fresh tuna, about 1/2 pound per person, with a good rub recipe. Let it sit in the refrigerator a while so the tune absorbs the flavoring. We used "Father's Lime Pepper" seasoning.
• Slice a bunch of fresh vegetables. Use what ever you like. You can see what we used in the picture. Cook up some of those small red potatoes too, they go great with this.
  
• Put the vegetables and potatoes in a plastic bag or container and pour on some salad dressing of choice. We used a vinaigrette, but I think a balsamic would go good too. Not too much dressing as you don't want to over power the vegetables or tuna. Let that sit in the refrigerator a while too, several hours at least.
  
• When your ready eat, grill, broil or bake the tuna. Grill the tuna or about 4 minutes a side or until it starts to flake. Or broil it for about for about 3 minute a side. Or baked it for 25 minutes at 400 degrees? What ever you do, please don't over cook the tuna.
• While the tuna is cooking, prepare the plates.
• Place a serving of salad greens in the center of a dinner sized plate. Remember, the darker the salad greens, the more nutritional value they have. So stay away from that iceberg lettuce crap. Do yourself a favor and splurge on a bag of a good salad mix.
• Spread the vegetables around the outside of the plates.
• When the tuna is done, place it in the center of the salad mix on the plates.
  
• Sprinkle on some cheese like Gorgonzola if you like cheese, and CHOW DOWN!

The combination of the hot tuna on top of the cold vegetables really does taste good together. Lori says that she makes it with chicken too, so try chicken if you don't like tuna.

So, what do you think?

Nigerian Spammer - Part 6

I'm glad you all are enjoying this Nigerian Spammer Series. I forgot how much fun fucking with these guys was and I really am having a ball doing it. Now without further delay, Part 6 in this little saga.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since my partnaer Willy is no help with the Routing Number, I decided to ask the bank for help. Here's the email I sent. I put “HELP!” in the subject line.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Trans International Bank PLC,
I am having trouble getting together all the infermation yous asked me for. I have been trying to get my barrister, Barrister Willy Ibru to help, but he is an idiot and is of use what so ever. I don't know if he just can't read English or what his problem is but I got no faith in his help anylonger. My last chance is to axe you guys for help. See, I'm lookin to get a routeing number but don't know where to get one. Also he says he send you the avadavid and I want to make sure you got it too.
Sincerly yours,
Milton Drysdale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Surely since these guys are a bank they can get me my “Routeing” number, right? Don’t bet on it. LMAO!!!!!!!

Within an hour after my last email, I got the following email from the bank. I'm going to start leaving out the heading and closing in their emails to save space. They never change anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, to enable us effect the payment as directed you are hereby requested to send us the following documents needed for the processing of the claim as this was not in your payment file:

1 An identification of your person (copy of your driver's licence OR first two pages of your International Passport will suffice)

2 A confirmation of your receiving bank account details for the receipt of the fund.

Please note that remittance of the funds is subject to compliance with directives 1-2 above.
Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOL! What do you think, is this bank run by relatives of my partner Willy the Spammer? I figured they got my email but just don’t how to answer me either. I think the whole “Routing” number thing has them stumped. Let me see if I can make it clearer to the bank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess you dint get my last email or you wouldnt'a asked me for my bank account details. Here is what I sent you in my last email.

Can you help me wit this stuff?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My ignorance is starting to piss off the bank. They are going to yell at me in the next email I got from them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen, all we want from you is your banking Details.

2 A confirmation of your receiving bank account details for the receipt of the fund.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it’s my turn to yell at them. LOL!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Dr Musa Bako,

I know you want banking details, but like I told you, I don't know where to get the routing number, whatever the fuck that is. I axed William where to get one, but he's an idiot and no fucking help what so ever. So I figered I'd ask you. Look! I just need soemone to tell me where i kin get a FUCKING ROUTING NUMBER!!!! Can you help me or not!

In addition, did you get the avadavid from William?

Fondly,
Milburn M. Drysdale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Didn’t you just love the way I signed the email, “fondly” after yelling at them? LOL!

I’m having such a good time fucking with these guys. You won’t believe what their response is going to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have receive the SWORN OF AFFIDAVIT from your Barrister William Ibru.

You are advise to send to our departement your Banking Information. Forget about the rounting number, just send your banking details for your transfer to be effective

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OMFG, I can't believe they told me to “FORGET ABOUT THE ROUTING NUMBER”! I finally frustrated everyone. I love it.

I have a question though. Isn’t the routing number a significant part of the “Banking Detail”? Don’t they really need that to transfer the money into my account? Or, if I was really gullible enough to give them my “Banking Details”, wouldn’t they need the routing number to empty my bank account and take all my money?

I think I’ll let them all squirm for a couple of days before I answer them. Besides, I have to figure out what “Banking Details” are. Do you think the bank or Willy can help me find them?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellie May will be happy he's asking about her. But WTF? How dare he question my commitment? I'm starting to get upset with him. ;-) Time to slow things down some and make him nervous. Hee, hee, hee...........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Mr Ibru,

Why are you insulting me? You is really startin to piss me on! I ain't done nuthing but try to git a straight answer from you and you never answer my questions. I don't have a problem, but it's is you that seems to a problem.

2. I still aint got no affidavit from you.

c. There aint no problem with the telephone number. Are you calling the right number? (202) 324-7126 Maybe you is dialing it wrong. Do any one answer? What do you get when you call it?

So you see, you ai'nt nerver answer my questions so it is you and ain't me holding thins up, not me. Why do you question my commitment? You is the one.

Milton

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still haven't gotten that telephone call from him. I guess he gave up trying. He is apologizing to me though. I suppose he got a little worried when he got that last email from me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Good Partner,

I just received your mail with the point noted.

The ROUTING NUMBER IS THE NUMBER GIVEN TO YOU BY YOUR BANK WITH YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER.

I HAVE SENT THE AFFIDAVIT TO THE BANK ON YOU BEHALF.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO SEND TO THE BANK YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER WITH THE ROUTING NUMBER GIVEN TO YOU BY YOUR BANK.

AM SORRY FOR ANY INCONVIENCE .

URGENT REPLY NEEDED.

BARR WILLIAM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LMAO!!!! He sent the "Sworn Affidavit" on my behalf? How does he swear to something for me? This guy is the stupidest one I've dealt with so far.

Now I'm going to get really upset because he can't help me find my "Routing Number". I'm starting to think maybe he doesn't even know what it is. This is my next email.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHAT THE FUCK IS A ROUTING NUMBER? MY BANK GAVE IT TO ME? GAVE IT TO ME WHERE? WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I DONE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gee, I hope I don't make him mad and scare him away. Like that will happen? LOL

I was so relieved when I saw his reply the next morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Good Partner,

I just received your mail with the point noted.

Please do not delay our life time opportunity. I want you to send your BANK DETAILS TO THE BANK TODAY.

Urgent reply needed.

Barr William Ibru

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was ROTFLMAO when I read that one. Obviously Willy isn't going to be any help finding my "Routing Number" so I'll just have to try something else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are of no help what so ever! How you ever became a barrister is beyond me. Since you can't tell me where to get a routing number, I'll ask the bank and see if they can help me find one.

Little BTExpress HNT

I was at a loss for what to post for HNT this week and then I came across this picture of my mom, my brother Rodney and me in front of our house in Huntington Station, Long Island, New York. This was taken in 1951 when I was about 3 years old. I figured I couldn't go wrong if I posted it, because the chicks seem to love my baby pictures and the guys will like looking at the old cars.



If you didn't guess, I'm the little guy standing in front of my mom.

BOAT FOR SALE

I am selling my boat, the B.T. Express. It has a book value of about $56,000. It has been closed up since I took it out of the water in October 2002 for what was supposed to be winter storage. I had it all prepared to be put it back in the water on June 3, 2003, but I called that off because my wife Barbara was diagnosed with brain cancer the Tuesday before.

The cancer took quite a toll on Barbara. She lost the use of the left side of her body and being left handed, that was quite a blow to her. After the surgery, she had to go into rehab for a month and it was during this time we both knew we would never use the boat as a family again. But Barbara refused to give up the thought of not boating again, so she wouldn't let me sell it. She always held out hope that some day she would get back on the boat even if it was just for a ride. She never recovered enough for even a ride and died about 2 1/2 years later with the boat still in the marina in dry dock.

I made the decision long before she died that I would sell the boat, but have been putting it off. The owner of the marina has been very understandable and has not charged me anything for storing it for me. I owe them a lot for that.

Now about nine months later the time has come to get my ass in gear and sell the boat. Lori helped me get the things I wanted to keep off of it a couple of weeks ago which was the first step. Then a couple of days ago I got a call from someone really interested in buying the boat. I got one call about a week ago, but the boat does need some work to get it ready so the guy never called back.

Three years of being covered up with shrink wrap is not the best way to store a boat. There are some wood panels that have rotted and delaminated and need to be replaced, but they are easily fixed. One window leaks which I will fix tomorrow. Other than that, it just needs a good cleaning. I have been on the boat the last two days trying to clean off three years of grim, mold and mildew. The boat really is in remarkable shape for being ignored all this time.

The people that are interested in the boat have a smaller 30 foot boat in the marina. They have two small children and are very interested in buying the boat. They saw the outside and liked what they see. I will be meeting them tomorrow evening to show them the inside.

I was on the boat yesterday and today cleaning and will also be there tomorrow. I cleaned everything on the inside except the bathroom. Tomorrow I will clean that, the inside if the refrigerator and vacuum. Then I will tackle the outside.

I'm not worried about how clean I get the outside because they have already seen that, but I do want to clean it up. The caller ID for his original phone call was for an auto body shop so he has resources to take care of detailing the outside. It's just compound and waxing so to him I'm sure that's no big deal.

One nice selling point is that the 300 gallon fuel tanks are full. At about $4.00 a gallon for gas, that is a big advantage for me.

Wish me luck that they like the boat and I sell it tomorrow.

Nigerian Spammer - Part 4

I got a reply from my spammer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Good Partner,

I appreciate your mail updating me on the bank's processing of the transaction.

I feel so happy after reading the information in your last mail, and from all indication the funds should be transferred at most by the beginnig of next week. While I thank God almighty for this development, I also want to let you know that I greatly appreciate your understanding and assistance on this matter.

You are advise to tell your sister that I like her picture and will be seeing her as soon as the fund is been transfered to your account this coming week.

The required Sworn of Affidavit in my understanding is the document that will confer ownership of the inheritance to you from the legal aspect. As soon as we obtain the document, that will be enough proof of ownership of funds

I will make inquiries at the ministry of justice to find out details on how we will obtain the Document by tommorrow morning, and send it to you.

Meanwhile I advise you forward the other requirement ( 1 - 3 ) to the bank as soon as possible by their by email attachment today in other not to delay the transaction,that is

1. YOUR BANK NAME AND BANK ADDRESS , YOUR ACCOUNT AND ROUTING NUMBER

Please do inform me as soon as you forward the particulars to the bank immediately,so I could follow the progress of the transaction adequately. I hope to get through to you on phone today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Will,

I would send them the stuff they axed for, but don't know what a routeing number is. Where do I find one?

Look forward to talking to you. I can usually be reached at work between 9am and 5pm eastern time here in the USA. I don't know what time that is where you are.

Milly

I look forward to his call ;-)

Look forward to talking to you. I can usually be reached at work between 9am and 5pm eastern time here in the USA. I don't know what time that is where you are.

Milly

I decided not to reply to the bank right away, but to tell my friend Willy the Spammer I received the email from the bank like he said I would. I hope the bank doesn't call it off when I take longer than a week to get them the stuff they asked for. Here's my email to Willy. I saw he had two different email addresses so questioned him on it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Willy,

May I call you Willy?

Did you get my last email? I saw you have two different email addresses so I'm sending this to both. Why do you have two different email addresses?

Well Willy, I got an email from the bank as you said I would, but don't understand half of what they is talking about.

This stuff is getting real confusing. What are a?

* TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER
* ROUTING NUMBER
* SOWRN OF AFFIDAVIT DULY OBTIAN IN NIGERIAN AS AN ATTACHMENT

I got no idea what a SOWRN OF AFFIDAVIT is and where I kin get one. What is a SOWRN? And it says I got to get one in Nigeria? I figure since you is in Nigeria, you could get me a one.

Can you explane the rest a this stuff or tell me where I can get them?

One more thing, the bank says I only got 7 days and that’s getting close, so hurry up if you don’t mind.

Ellie May wants to know if you liked her pictures.

Nigerian Spammer - Part 2

I received another email from my Nigerian Spammer. I never heard from the other spammer I sent the same email too. I guess the other guy is smarter than this one. This guy is also moving a lot faster than the other ones I've played games with in the past. Here's the second email from him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Good Partner,

Thank for your mail received. I am happy to inform you that I have finalized all arrangement with the Trans International Bank Plc for the release of the fund to you as the next of kin to my late client Mr. Patrick A.

The bank - TRANS INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC will be contacting you for the arrangement of the transfer and I would appreciate you keep me informed of all communication between you and them until the money is transferred to your account.

Please, I will appreciate if you could make a hotel reservation for me as I plan to arrive in your country soon and also I want you to give me the nearest airport to your city to enable me know how to route my ticket.

I thank you so much for your willingness to execute this transaction with me and I assure you that there is no risk involved since the Trans International Bank Plc have accepted and approved the inheritance claim in your favour.

I have spent all my life saving to actualize this transaction and I know you will not dissappoint me as this transaction requires honesty on your side since the money will be paid to your account before my arrival. I tried calling you but your number is not connnecting I will still trying,but I will want you to try and reach me in my direct line Tel:234-806-370-1380
Please, confirm receipt of this mail.

With best regards,
William

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does he mean my telephone number won't connect? I'm sure the telephone number I gave him, the FBI headquarters in Washington DC, works just fine. I guess he just didn't call it. The reality is that he wants me to spend my money on the phone call because he is probably spending all his at the Internet cafe sending out emails.

Make a hotel reservation for him? WTF is thinking? What day is he planning on arriving and all that good shit? This guy really has no clue.

Here is my reply to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Partner Ibru,
This is conformation I got the email you sent to me. I am excited to learn that the deal is going to go through. I am as confused as a blind possum in a hen house why you couldn't get through to my phone number. It is my work telephone number, and I'm sure it works. Just in case I gave you an incorrect number, here is it again. I am also including my fax number in case you need to send me some documents or stuff like that.

Tel: (202) 324-7126
Fax: (202) 324-0920

Is this the number I gave you before? I would call you but I can't. Like I said before, my home telephone has been disconnected, so I have to used my telephone at work to make calls. I can receive incoming calls there, but they would fire me for sure if I tried to sneak a long distance call to you.

As far as setting up your visit here. I travel a lot and I need to wait until the deal is set in stone afor I do that. You see, I'm not sure where I will going to be when this deal goes down. I travel a lot on business you know.

One more thing. Elly Mae says hi, and wants to know if your married. She thinks you look very handsome in your picture and would like to get to know you when you get here. I'm attaching some pictures. One is of the family and two is of Elly Mae so you can get a good look what we all looks like.

Your partner forever,
Milton

PS
Since we are bound to be good friends, can I call you Willy or Billy or Bill or Will or something besides William. William seems so formal for pals. You can call me Milly if you want to.

These are the pictures I sent him.

These are the sluttiest pictures of Ellie May (Donna Douglas) I could find. I wonder if he'll like them?

Skinny Dipping HNT

It was very hot here on Monday. Too hot even for a bathing suit.

So what, oh what do you do to cool off?

GO SKINNY DIPPING, THAT'S WHAT!

Lori wanted me to post a couple of pictures that are NSFW especially for my friend Barman. It seems he said something last HNT that she liked. So Barman, go here to see the pictures Lori asked me to post especially for you. I suppose anyone else that wants to see NSFW pictures can look at them too.

Just like most of you have, we had unbearably hot weather in the high 90s the last couple of days. I am fortunate enough to have air conditioning in the house and a swimming pool, but where Lori was over the weekend, they did not.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, Lori was visiting her brother in Connecticut over the weekend. They don't like air conditioning so they don't have it in the house or even like to run it when they are driving in the car. So poor Lori roasted and sweated the entire time she was there.

Monday she got back home an after dropping her daughter off at the house, she came over to my place and stayed until this morning. She has work today, but will be back here again Friday right after work.

Speaking of Lori, we had a great time the last couple of days as we always do. AS soon as she arrived on Monday, we took her stuff into the bedroom. She laid down on the bed and said, "Come here so I can give you a proper greeting." Two hours later we got or bathing suits on and went swimming in the pool. We spent the next six hours in the pool swimming, eating, drinking and of course, snuggling. I have pictures, but will save them for my HNT post this week.

(ATTENTION BARMAN!!! Lori loved the comment you made on our HNT post last week, so she had me take a picture especially for you. ;-) )

Around 5:30 my son Brian got home from work and had a couple friends with him. Shortly after that, his girl friend Cheryl came over. We spent the next couple of hours swimming and talking. This was the first time my son has spent any appreciable time together with Lori and I. He's always been polite, but hasn't stuck around very much when she's around, but this time was completely different. The next evening they talked even more. I asked Cheryl about it, and she told me Brian was getting used to Lori and I being together. I hope this is a sign he has finally accepted that she is going to be with me for the long term.

The next day we got up and it was even hotter than the day before. I was tired of floating around on those plastic "noodle" we have so we went shopping for pool chairs. I couldn't believe how expensive those things were. We went to three places before I found some that were somewhat reasonably priced. The first place we went had several nice ones to choose from if you wanted to spend anywhere from $150 to $200. The second place had some for between $250 and $400. The third place had some on sale so I bought two of them. One for me and one for Lori.

Then came the fun part, putting them together. I unpacked the parts and got the screw driver.



Then tried putting them together..."WTF DOES THIS MEAN!"



I finally got one together and just had to give it a try before putting the second one together.



I put the second one together wrong and had to take it back apart. I got it right on the second try and Lori finally had a chair for her too.



The pool needed to be cleaned, but it was too hot, so we lounged around in the pool until the sun went behind some trees later that afternoon. Lori wanted to do the actual vacuuming, so I set it up and showed her how to do it and then she took over and cleaned the whole pool. Look at how clean she got it. "GREAT JOB LORI!"



Lori did such a great job, I hereby proclaim her as the Official BTExpress Pool Cleaner!

PS
Lori, that storm last night made quite a mess. The pool is a mess again and really needs cleaning? I know how much you enjoyed cleaning it and don't want to spoil your fun, so how soon can you get over here? Huh Lori... baby, sweetheart, beautiful, hot, sexy... :-)

I am going to be rich!

I got on the Nigerian Spammers email list again. A few days a go I received two of them. I usually just delete them, but this time I decided to see how long I could string them along.

I’ve done this before and it was always good for a laugh. One time I was a crooked pastor stealing money from my church, another time I was an escaped convict and once I told the guy I worked for the Nigerian Ambassador to the United Nations. That one went on for almost three months. The guy broke it off when I told him I flew back home on vacation and was in town to pick up the money.

This is my reply.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dear Barrister William Ibru ,

I really could use the $7,500,000, but I ain't related to this guy. You see, my phone has been turned off cause I ain't got no money to pay the bills. Granny was arrested for making moonshine. Pa was caught hunting possums on the federal preserve and is in jail until he pays the $5,000 fine. Jethro lost his chance for that college scholarship when he was left back in the sixth grade for the eighth time. If this money don't get here soon, Ellie May will have to start hooking. Miss Hathaway is already hooking, but she is so ugly, she don't bring in much in the way of money.

Here's all the information you axed me for.

1. Milburn M. Drysdale
2. Phone/Fax: (202) 324-7126
3. Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20535
4. 7/4/33
5. Bank President

This ain't illegal, is it? I don't want to brake no laws because I'm on parole and will get life if I screw up one more time.

Fondly,
Milburn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It should be noted that the address and telephone number I gave the guy, is for the FBI.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I got two emails as a follow up to my reply. The first one tells me it’s a go and the second has copies of documents proving to me that this guy is legitimate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Partner,

Thanks for your email received forwarding the requested information. Be informed that I have commenced on the processing of the inheritance claim in your favour.

I will forward your contact details to the Bank - TRANS INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC for approval of this inheritance claim of US$7,500,000.00 (Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) in your favour as they requested and you should pray that I have a successful discussion with the Trans International Bank Plc and on my own side, I am 100% sure that the discussion will be a success as the documents are authentic.

Please, this transaction requires your honest co-operation and confidentiality as I have worked very hard to achieve this transaction and I will really appreciate if you will be honest with me through out this transaction.

I use this opportunity to thank you for your interest in this transaction and I look forward to meeting with you in your country as soon as we conclude the transaction.

With best regards,
Barr William Ibru

This is my reply.

Dear Barrister William Ibru ,

I really could use the $7,500,000, but I ain't related to this guy. You see, my phone has been turned off cause I ain't got no money to pay the bills. Granny was arrested for making moonshine. Pa was caught hunting possums on the federal preserve and is in jail until he pays the $5,000 fine. Jethro lost his chance for that college scholarship when he was left back in the sixth grade for the eighth time. If this money don't get here soon, Ellie May will have to start hooking. Miss Hathaway is already hooking, but she is so ugly, she don't bring in much in the way of money.

Here's all the information you axed me for.

1. Milburn M. Drysdale
2. Phone/Fax: (202) 324-7126
3. Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20535
4. 7/4/33
5. Bank President

This ain't illegal, is it? I don't want to brake no laws because I'm on parole and will get life if I screw up one more time.

Fondly,
Milburn

Today I got two emails as a follow up to my reply. The first one tells me it’s a go and the second has copies of documents proving to me that this guy is legitimate.

I haven’t quite decided how I will reply to these last two, but I’ll let you know when I decide.

I'm so excited!

Lori is coming home tomorrow. She has been at her brothers in Connecticut this weekend. One weekend each month during the summer, they get together and go to a huge fair over in Massachusetts. She's catching the 9:00 AM ferry, going home for a bit and should be here around 12 or 1. She's staying with me until Wednesday morning when she has to go to work.

The best part!

My son is working 8 to 5!

So that means SKINNY DIPPING!!!!!!!!

And lots of SNUGGLING!!!!!!!

In NUMEROUS ROOMS of my house!!!!!!!!

WARNING!!!

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, PLAY BEER PONG WITH A BUNCH OF TWENTY-SOMETHINGS.

WHILE DRINKING NUMEROUS GIN AND TONICS!

OR YOUR BACK YARD MAY LOOK LIKE THIS THE NEXT DAY.

AND YOU MAY WAKE UP THE NEXT AFTERNOON LOOKING LIKE THIS!

!!!YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Edit: Barman asked me what beer pong was. Since everyone doesn't know what it is, I am posting the rules.

Long Island Style

1. Cups are arranged, 10 on a side, in pyramid formation, as shown.
2. Three beers per side, evenly distributed.
3. Each team of two starts off with one ball. Players throw the ball across the court, trying to get the ball in a cup. When a ball lands in a cup, one player from that side must chug that cup, and it is removed from the play area (pushing it to the side is OK). When both players on a team sink a cup, they get the balls back.
4. Drinking is alternated. One player drinks the first cup, the other drinks the second, the first player drinks the third, and so on. Throwing can either be alternated or done two at a time. Some people think that throwing two at a time improves accuracy, but studies are inconclusive. It's up to you and your partner.
5. As soon as the ball touches anything, including a cup, it's fair game to be grabbed. If it bounces in, great, but you'd better hope your opponents have no reflexes. Bouncing it in counts for two cups.
6. Cups are restacked into pyramids when 6 cups and 3 cups remain on a side.
7. When 4 cups remain on a side, restack them in a diamond formation.
8. When 2 cups remain, they are placed one in front of the other.
9. When one cup remains, it is placed in the corner of the table.
10. When the last cup on a side is hit, the losing team has the opportunity to match, getting one or two balls to shoot depending on whether or not the winning team used both shots. If the losing team manages to clear all of the winning team's cups while matching, both teams resume the game with three cups and one beer per side.
11. Any cups left on the side of the winning team must be consumed by the losing team.
12. If a player, for any reason whatsoever, drops a ball into a cup on his own side, he must drink it. Additionally, his teammate has the right to smack him on the head for being such a dumbass. There can be no exceptions to this rule.
13. If the ball is still spinning in the cup, only girls can blow it out. If the ball gets wet, though, then it is declared in the cup.
14. Winning five games in a row qualifies you as a dynasty.
