Do you re-educate your lads with funny words or offensive words that might put a victim off the scam.

Yes, every chance I get.

I try. Although several of my baits have gone cold at the moment, i had a busy week and they seem to have dropped me at the point I went quiet. My current crop of annoyances involves offering them employment and attempting to trick them into carrying out money-cloning exercises involving destructive chemicals... what better way to waste their time and money than to have them waste their time, destroying their money ... since I've been speaking in rather terrible Lad, good english doesn't come into it much.

I was reading in one of the drier scientific mags about mimicry... apparently if you adapt slightly to the conversational style of whoever you're talking to, it builds trust and nurtures a certain empathy. In real time conversations this includes gestures, actions (sitting back instead of upright, take off jacket, lean forward etc). Of course it fails if you get caught, they think you're taking the p.

For our purposes, if a lad gets it wrong, we copy him to make it look as though he's given us the right way to say something. If he gets something right that looks like a good patch of english, criticise it and ask for clarification, and thereby prune his english from semi-pidgin to full-blown turkey. I need a couple of straight baits to do this with. Fresh start on monday!

There was a thread (a while ago, so please don't necro) about eucalyptising: which can be found here

It's always good to bamboozle you're lads.

Edit: There was also a time when we decided that lawyers should be called 'shysters', but my search-fu is weak at the moment

A lad told me he wanted "discourse via telephone" with me but I hope he'll want "intercourse" next time he writes anyone Twisted Evil

for my next semi-straight (aggravated) bait, I will attempt to convince my little pet that "curling one out" means "writing a cheque" or "removing money from one's wallet".

I'll continue the bait as long as I think it necessary to convince him of this. possibly a lot longer, we'll see.

I just love the idea of him asking a prospective mark to curl one out for him. Game over, I'd say.

Mirroring is an amazingly powerful technique for building rapport. Use it in job interviews, but subtly, and they'll love you! We do this naturally to a degree anyway, when we walk with someone, we'll synchronize pace, this just takes it further.

You can play a fantastic game once you've proved to yourself how well this works with friends and colleagues (don't tell them, just practice the skill). Next time you're in a presentation and dying from powerpoint poisoning, start mirroring the presenter subtly, build rapport, start "pacing" them. It's easier and more fun if they're the boss. Once you have rapport, you can play with them - you start subtly scratching your ear/nose/etc., and they will too - you've gone from following to leading, all without the poor presenter realising it's happening at all. In the end, with a good enough rapport, you can get them scratching all the time, adjusting their glasses, etc. Far more fun than having to listen. Give it a go Smile

Yes I do!

I'm trying to get the term "bababoey" added to lad speak.

Someone here got a mail from a lad that referred to a 'power of anthony'. I guess it was supposed to be a reference to a 'power of attorney' Razz

. Since reading that, I've been trying to get several of my 'barristers' to prepare one for me. No luck yet, but still trying.

I demanded a "Legal-Good Status" form from my favorite lad a long time ago. Since then, I've started completely separate baits of some of his other formats with new baiting characters and he's volunteered the form for barristers and FBI agents as proof of their legitimacy.

Fatter Siam and I have both been baiting this same lad for ages. For a while, we played "tennis". One of us would introduce a term and keep using it, seeing if we could get him to use it on the other one of us. Fatter won, I think. Laughing

I de-educate at every opportunity.

I opted to teach my mass-baited about immunizations for importation of animals into the states. Boy, I wish I could see the face of a real victim reading that there animal:

Quote:

have been vaccinated against the normal: Rapido virus, Temper sequence, Kennelists Cough, Limey Disease, Measels Lumps and Ruppels, Boob Plague, and Rocky Mountain High fever vaccine.

Cavalry Greetings! I try to introduce my lads to efacavious new words at every chance I get.

But do not overlook opportunities for mathematical re-education! That 6% VAT on a $500 transfer fee - - well, it is actually $41.27, and is never $30.

I love to try to re-educate lads, but it's not always easy. Coming up with better material than father took me so special or even the one that disturbs me the most is my stroke sickness can be quite a challenge.

I like to promise to sqeeze out a payment myself, and for some reason my character tends to take their statements as sexual advances. When one lad told me he hoped I was in the pink, I told him that my sex life really had nothing to do with our business at hand.

<br>Don't forget the 'Post Scrotum' at the bottom of the email.

I was thinking about doing a mass bait to tell all the lads that no one ever uses the word transaction anymore and that they should call it a 'hum-dinger'

I mean, what could be better than a lad saying something like:

"I look forward to your positive response so that we can move forward with this hum-dinger."

See the Pillock thread. I think all those mugus will from now on sign off with "Remain shagged and barfed upon". Great work, whoever did it.

I usually put "God help you" at the bottom of my mails once established.

A few have taken it up and use it in turn on some of my other characters in their box.

I once helped a lad rework his check baiting script. By the time I got done it looked like it was written by Alex of "A Clockwork Orange." Gave him the email address of some baiters and he thought I was a genius (for awhile, at least).
