One time eddy, from ed edd and eddy, pulled an epic scam, he sold ice cream cones but the ice cream was actually baseballs covered in pink paint

Once I saw a commercial for a bracelet that made you play golf like a pro. LOL.

I'm a regular thread killer. If you see my post at the bottom of a page, chances are there are no more posts below it.

I see what you did there.

Probably the biggest scam I've ever been involved with is Windows Vista.

No, it's a great OS.

wouldn't just one base ball plus a bucket of paint cost more than ice cream? That's a horrible scam.

Whoa, I was going to say this, the odds that it would be the first response? Weird.
Anyways, I bought some shamwows, and they're not that much better than a normal towel, like you said.
Also, I tried that pie-plate thing that they do in the commercial where it absorbs an entire pie dish of water, but it doesn't work. It absorbs most of it, but not all, and that made me grumpy.

On the Showtime series Penn and Teller, they recently did this episode about mixing orgasms and bullshit, and they attended a class where a guy basically teaches couples how to give a girl an orgasm. So basically, this guy fingers girls all day long and gets payed for it.

Hey! I would like you all to take a break from spamming the bbs and listen to this opportunity!

I am but a lowly man on the run from the police. I have been unjustly accused of drug-peddling without evidence. However, I decline to turn myself in or allow myself to be brought in because of the fact that I know I won't last a day in jail were I to be also unjustly convicted. As a result, I plan to leave the country.

However, the federal warrants will most likely prevent me from even getting close to doing so. This is where you come in......

To cut it short, I need your identity for a bit. It must be a male over 25. I just need it long enough to get to the airport. I also need to transfer some money into your banking account. See, the authorities have been working to freeze all of my bank accounts, which would leave me in a jam.

Now I know you're wondering "Why should I do all that? We all know how popular scams like this are." The answer is simple: because the reward is too great to pass up. Whoever's identity I choose will recieve upwards of 10 million for the help. I know you can't pass that up.

So are you willing to help me out, at no harm to and little work for you, all for 10 million? If you're interested, contact me at the obvious place. Remember, this will be in high demand, so contact me as soon as possible!

Isn't Vince from shamWOW a little mental.
I heard he has problems.

I live in Vancouver BC and he comes each year to sell those.
My curling team and I were talking about him.
