Open letter to all the freaking Google spamming vultures on this site

What part of your brain, exactly, told you you wanted to be my friend? Or that I'd want to be yours? For starters, I make my friends offline, and I'd suggest you maybe try doing the same. If I don't know you offline, I don't want to see or hear from you online. Period, end of discussion. So take me off your friends list, I don't want you stalking

ROFL Well said, Legolyas!

I've gotten hit with a few myself, and if you check their own journals, or profiles, half of it's in some weird Arabic language, for the sake of simplicity I guess let's just call it Weirdibic. Leads me to believe they're sitting there somewhere over in the middle east, posting pictures of American Joe Bob and his family as theirs, trying to figure out ways to get idiots to help them siphon off our fine government stimulus package. And don't you be dissing that, I got biiiiiiig plans to retire rich off it myself. I figure once the first actual checks come attached to the tails of those flying pigs, we'll all be set for life. Join us, duuuuuude, it's bliiiiiiiis

I couldn't help noticing myself that most of the "Weirdibic" in their profiles don't quite seem to match the pics of "American Joe Bob and his family" on their journal posts about all that wonderful easy money, which is just going to fall out of the sky with no strings attached. Crap, I'm not even sure my grandson would buy that one, and he's not even in kindergarten yet. But face it, cyberspace is the great land of stupid, after all, and there's not much holding morons back from ending up bankrupt or in prison by falling for the latest dumb ass scam, right? That would take a brain, and if you can manage to get online without one, I guess you deserve whatever the hell you get. But I'm glad we beamed up that particular connection, as kind of a public service act. Makes me think we've done our good deed for the day, which of course makes us entitled to stay longer partying on this guy's lawn.

Gimli, you big idjet, you just made me spew coffee all over my monitor!

But Merry and I have a question that we really need Legolyas' advice about. Both of our two younger sons recently had their old beater cars die, and they don't think it's worth spending the money to get them fixed. Tragic, I know, but what are you going to do? They can't leave them where they are forever, because the one already got a notice from the cops that he's got to have it towed out of there, or they will at his expense.

So my question is, should they have them towed to the multikeg "happening?" Or would they be cheaper off just towing them behind their new cars? Face it, we're going to need someplace to store extra kegs, with as long as it looks like we're going to be there...

Re: Gimli, you big idjet, you just made me spew coffee all over my monitor!

Pip, are you mental? I've told you before, NEVER tow a dead car with one you're making payments on! That's just stupid, use your head and set the good example for your son (in hopes that he might notice, for like the first time ever, heh).

Unless your car or truck is specifically equipped with a towing package, don't even think about it. Bite the bullet and pay for the tow, or pay for the ass for it on car maintenance and repairs for the rest of the life of that car.

Or actually, I've got a better idea, that's more in keeping with the spirit of the thing anyways. Let the cops tow both of the old, dead beaters to the multikeg party, but tell your sons to sign over the titles to our new "friend." That way, if anyone gets stuck paying for the police tow, it will be good old American Joe Bob. Hell, he's got plenty of money he made off this scam, right?

Our money, too, unless I'm mistaken...

Gimli, you are one baaaaaaad dude, shame on you, LOL

I got to thinking, though, a live band would be kind of a nice touch for the multikeg party, don't you think? And since my son and a few of his friends have decided that they're a band now, why not give them a shot at their first big gig? I'm sure American Joe Bob wouldn't mind footing the bill for that, too, and if he throws in a little extra, maybe we can get my son and the rest of them to take a shot at all playing the same song, in the same key, at the same time. Which would be good experience for them, even though it seems to be a brand new concept that may take them awhile to get a handle on

Woohoo, excellent thought, Mixter!

[gandolfgryscl]

I agree that a live "band" (and it sounds like you're using the term pretty loosely, possibly loosely enough to even inclued me, hehehehe) will be a nice touch, and add to the ambiance of the whole thing.

Since you've only mentioned 3 of the 4 elements of real rock as we remember it, though, and left the other one wiiiiiiiiide open to the imagination, I CALL DIBS ON VOCALS, MWAHAHAHA! Sure, go ahead and laugh, but a few kegs down the road, I'll bet you'll all come around...

ROFLMAO Gandolf, I'm telling management on you!!!

[garagorn]

You just made me spew beer all over my monitor, and on shop time to boot! Just had to come check a memo, then see what you were laughing so hard about in there, so I figured it was probably something on here again.

Okay, let's make something perfectly clear right now. I don't think we're bringing enough kegs to make anyone appreciate your, er, unique vocal talents. Hell, I'm not sure there ARE enough kegs for that.

Good concept, though, and I agree that it will add to the ambiance sprawled all over this poor guy's lawn over the course of the coming months.

And I say that as a good faith gesture, why don't we invite management on this particular road trip? Yeah, I know how everybody feels, and why, and everything, but face it, if part of the idea is to share our thoughts about this fabulous get rich quick little vulture scheme, and its effect on the working class and especially business owners, why not bring a few so they can share their thoughts with him, too? Face it, the more, the merrier, right?

Re: ROFLMAO Gandolf, I'm telling management on you!!!

[gimlihagrid]

LOL @ spewing beer on your monitor on company time, yeah, right. Good point about Gandolf's vocal, um, talent, but invite management along? Hate to say it, buddy, but you just sucked the fun out of the whole road trip thing, thanks a lot. Let's just say, you invite them, and I just might look up a certain someone else and invite her. Stuff that one in your press and smoke it, then get back to work before I actually do rat you out, LOL.
