The off-topic topic

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just keep going off-topic, but do it in such a way that it relates to the previous post. Then explain how it relates. Points will be awarded for surrealness (surreality?) of links from one post to the next.

So, what is the adjectival form of surreal?
Umm could you put that in plain english please?

P.S.

Dear Sir/Madam
SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
Please Permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trust wordy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously.


My name is COL. WILFRED TUKUR of the Democratic Republic of Congo
and One of the close aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace.


Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in my country, I and some of my colleagues were instructed by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms and ammunition worth of Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel group. We were then given this money privately by the then President, LAURENT KABILA, without the knowledge of other Cabinet Members. But when President Kabila was killed in a bloody shoot-out by one of his aide a day before we were schedule to travel out of Congo, We immediately decided to put the funds into a private security company here in Congo for safe keeping. The security of the said amount is presently being threatened here following the arrest and seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava (One of the aides to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military Personnel from our same tribe, by the new President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the son of late President Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila.
In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who can assist us to move this money out of my country as the beneficiary.


WE have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' here to move the fund under Diplomatic Cover to a security company in Europe in your name. This is to ensure that the Diplomatic Baggage is marked ''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance.
Our inability to move this money out of Congo all this while lies on our lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Kabila, immediately after his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, the information We gathered from an associate who has worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us that with your sincere assistance, this transaction will be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks. The said money is a state fund and therefore requires a total confidentiality.
We would please need you to stand on our behalf as the beneficiary of this fund in Europe. This is because we are under restricted movement and watch and hence we want to be very carefull in other not to lose this fund which we have worked so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist us move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address, Tel/Fax nos. above with your telephone, fax number and personal information to enable us discuss the modalities and what will be your share (percentage) for assisting us.


Please note that There are no RISKS involved in this Deal as every ones Security is Gurranteed as far as we follow the required guidlines. I will hence furnish you with further details of this Deal as soon as I am assured of your Sincere interest to assist us.
I must use this opportunity and medium to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential,


Whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response.


Thank you and God Bless.
Best Regards


COL. WILFRED TUKUR (RTD). wilfredtukur@post.com

Ah, the old African money scan. My mate got one of these once and forwarded it to me. From some guy with a buried pot of gold being tortured and locked in solitary confinement in an alleged refugee camp.

I just couldn't work out how he still had his lap top ...
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,

Is it just me or does it seem like an eternity since everybody was wandering around saying "Brilliant!" and "Niice" and "Where's me washboard?"

Its all "I want that one" with the kids of today. Tut.

One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love

What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love

What more in the name of love...
