You are correct sir.... Since my "replies" I have seen a quadruple in the incoming crap from these guys. I am assuming it is because they are all in the same room, but they certainly seem to share the good news when there is someone at the other end... It was worth it. I am hopeful that one of these guys is waiting for his hats to arrive.

Let me make it absolutely clear, I do not want to cause any bad feelings or rivalry between Rick, Paul and Peter, but I have an exclusive offer, which unfortunately only one of you can benefit from.

For several months now I have been working for the French government in order to improve the French economy. I have been authorized to sell the Eiffel Tower for the amount of 10 million Euro. It will be delivered and planted in the lucky buyer's garden. If you only have a very small garden, we'll plant it upside down...

Telarkaster · May 19th, 2008, 07:27 PM

Great Rick, now you can get that Martin acoustic you always wanted! Pick me one up too while you're there...

jelly tele · May 19th, 2008, 09:22 PM
