Still in play. From the world's first Smurf-herd (see Death By Umlaut) comes Dorito Bambini. How can this be, you ask? The Smurfherd simply signed up for an account on Yahoo.it. It's a small world after all, it's a small small world... The correspondence gets a bit confusing - there is more than one Lad on the other end. But Bambini plays them against each other and it's funny as usual!

But you can have your lawyer mail me, I'm able to check it quite often. I also have to inform you that my capo, Peter "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri, is also informed about the transaction. But he can be trusted completely, he is under oath, and believe me he won't do ANYTHING that would come to harm me. He is part of the family and carries out most of my arrends and hits. regards, Dorito Bambini Head of the Family ENTER "BARRISTER IDRIS SALAMI"Data: Mon, 17 Jun 2002 07:35:54 -0700 (PDT)Da: "Barr.

Time is running out,your decision and attention is highly needed so that I can know the next line of action to take.

I unexpectedly had to leave my country for an unpecified time. I had to sort out a couple of cement related harbour accidents that occured to a couple of the nonunionised workers. It's sorted now, but I do not know when I can return to Italy. The market for cement boots ain't what it used to be... I'm on the run so to speak, which means I'm not staying in one place, but rather travelling around conducting my family business. Therefore it is of no use for me to provide you with a telephone number. Most likely I can't be reached by phone. Let me know if we can finish this suspect transaction without telephone. Face to face is my preferred way of business. best regards, Dorito Bambini EDWARD MOBUTU'S SYMPATHIESA: Oggetto: THE WAY FORWARDDa: "edward" Dear Dorito Bambini, Thank you very much for your concern and interest in this unusual but mutually beneficial transaction.Let me also tender my sincerest sympathy for the unfortunate accident that occured.I hope you get over it soonest.
