    MAKE THOUSANDS!!!

    I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: I don't care about the useless pre-fabricated crap this message usually says. All I say is, it works. Continue pre-fab crap.

    WELL GUESS WHAT!!!

    Within five days, I started getting money in the mail!! I was shocked!! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $63.00 By the end of the second week I had made a total of $1873.00!! In the third week I had made a total of $9,612.00 and more mail kept coming in!! This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of $35,165.00 and it's still coming rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00 and six stamps, and I have spent more than that on the lottery without ever winning!!! My mailman asked me what was with all the mail , and when i showed him this system he was amazed and got going at it . Everyday he thanks me , it feels good to know your helping make other pepole have more time and money to do the things they care about most .(Dont let this pass you buy , it so easy and it realy does work) Let me tell you how this works and most important, why it works.......... also make sure you print this out NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you will need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!!

    Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!! (Print it out or download it)

    Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!!

    It's easy.

    It's legal.

    And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) !!!

    IMPORTANT:

    This is not a rip-off, it is decent; it's legal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!! If all the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.

    PLEASE NOTE:

    Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become apart of the Mail Order business. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the four easy steps to success.

    STEP ONE:

    Get six separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 U.S. $1.00 bills and place ONE inside of EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the six envelopes and seal them. You now should have six sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service.

    THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!!!!

    You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-238-5355) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!

    Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses:

    1) Sgt. Shaved Balls
    1/264 Torville
    Bumfuck
    4450 Australia

    2) Capt. B. Dick
    6950 Asshair Dr., #115
    Norridge, IL

    3) Schtool
    Gaynigger str. 5
    4646 Ossendrecht
    Germany

    4) Lunis Torballs
    Sourcecode-thief penitentiary, cell 45
    Cal. 4455

    5) The Goatse guy
    ArcticCircleCandy avenue
    Thatsanogooda 3371
    Italy

    6) CmdrTaco
    c/o CmdrTaco's Mom
    Nancy str. 55
    Gaycity USA

    STEP TWO:
    Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (six becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, an

    We need some sort of 'Godwins Law' style rule whereby an opinion is discounted the moment they make some lame pun about an os/name/product etc. I usually stop reading when I hear someone call something 'gaycube', 'gaystation' etc, a little mental going going off and warning me that it's not worth reading any further.
