"Anita" has been trying to scam me for quite some time, but Harold has been so bad with money that he never seems to have any. Fortunately, Harold hit upon the idea to use his position on a scholarship board to give scholarships to Nigerians. My avatar is the result of the first scholarship, but unfortunately the reward for that scholarship can't be sent by Western Union or Moneygram. The only scholarships that can be sent that way are the art and music scholarships. So, the lad applied for the music scholarship. I told him he had to sing the song "Hero of Canton" and I provided him with the lyrics and an example of it being sung. For anyone who hasn't seen Firefly, the song is from the episode Jaynestown, where Jayne Cobb has a city that considers him a folk hero, despite the fact that he's anything but. This video shows that clip from the show:

The lyrics are here:

And of course, the lad's attempt at singing it is here:

I don't recognize the song. But I can tell the song shouldn't sound like that. He is tone deaf. It is painful to listen to it.
I think you should ask him for another song. |

Yeah, I've got another one planned, though I suspect he'll do that one even worse. I tried to get him to play guitar too, but it was pretty clear that wouldn't be possible.
Anyone? Yastreb? For anyone not familiar with the series, you can see where the song is from in this video:

Oh, and you should also watch the show. |

I can't access putfile and Youtube and the like thanx to problems with my computer at the moment.
Does the Lad's song bear any relation to this?
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me... |

Woo! I love Firefly. And Joss Whedon. I am surprised that a Nigerian lad would be a fan of such a short lived show, though.
One of my lads is a fan of Lost...which kind of led to some problems because I have been doing a Lost-themed bait since day one. Apparently lads do watch TV. *shrugs*
You should bait him as Joss Whedon. That could get very amusing. |

~ The Blackwood Con,
Err, actually I was joking when I said he was a Firefly fan. I guess I should have been more clear about that. I specified that for the scholarship he had to sing "Hero of Canton" and supplied him with the words and an example of someone singing it. I thought it was kind of ironic that the song was about stealing money. |

Jayne, the man they call Jayne
He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne
Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'
He saw the mudders' lament
And he saw the magistrate takin'
Every dollar and leavin' five cents
So he said "you can't do that to my people"
He said "you can't crush them under your heel"
So Jayne strapped on his hat
And in 5 seconds flat
Stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal
He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne
Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
The man they called Jayne
He stole away our pain
And headed out for the stars
He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne. |

I love Firefly but couldn't decipher the lad's terrible singing effort without the above links.
But well done on the lovely trophy! |

Yastreb - nah, I wouldn't want the lad to butcher the Firefly intro. But the Ballad of Jayne Cobb is funny enough that having a lad sing it just makes it funnier.
At first I wanted it to be a surprise, but I'll update my initial post to show where the song is from. |

The hat is at:
http://www.wearwithstyle.com/hat5.html
Unfortunately, the queue is 6 weeks long. I'd get him the knitting kit, but this particular lad doesn't seem to be much good at anything, let alone knitting. I was going to get him to sing one more song, probably "Still Alive" from the game Portal.
My next step would probably be to officially find out he's a scammer and stop talking to him. But he would still keep getting contacted by the scholarship board. I'm tired of constantly professing my love to "Anita" and I'd rather chew him out as the persona of a busy, no-nonsense chairman of a scholarship foundation.
After that, maybe I'll try to get him to carve me a bust of Barack Obama or something. |
