This may deserve to be the seed of a Snappy Comeback page - responses which elicited stunned silence from the scammers. For now, this stands proudly on its own.
Every once in awhile -- I get just a little silly and I amuse myself in some semi-creative fashion. Hope the lads enjoy it as much as I do!!
I really enjoy reading the various Scam games that your creative contributers have come up with -- getting the Lads to play along is great fun. However, for me -- it would be too much like work --(lol)!!
Hope you get a kick out of my most recent "adventure" -- these are almost exclusively "one offs" -- but ocasionally I will get an amusing response -- or a terrified one!!
