Something I think has been incorrectly regarded as lad huggin':

Say your lad has safaried to the most remote hot dry places on earth and is out of money and can't even buy water anymore.

-Telling the lad to suck on a coin or shirt button to keep his mouth wet.

Why?
He needs to be able to express his suffering over the phone, and that's hard to do with a bone dry mouth.

Exactly.

There was a time when calls to lad were rare or not an option at all. At that time, there were still safaris going on, and lads were still suffering. In fact, many of the earliest safaris were made without phone contadct at all. Some old fashioned baiters are still baiting without the use of phones at all. A successful safari does not depend on you being able to call the lads at all, let alone listen to their suffering (allthough it's a nice bonus). The primary purpose with safaris is not entertainment, but to waste the time and resources of lads. And lads are really good at expressing pain in writing Wink

, and sometimes, it can be even funnier to experience your lads agony through email than through a phone call. Wink

I agree. Maybe it's just me, but I've been unable to understand the incoherent, mugu-speak whining of lads while listening to phone calls.

The emails allow one to really savour their suffering while starving, sleeping in the streets, being abused by locals etc. Very Happy

Sometimes the frustration in a phone call can be simply mind blowing. It doesn't happen that often and there are a lot of "dead time" in between. But when you get that special lad crying on the phone i wouldn't want to exchange that for any number of mails. There is something special in hearing a lad begging for his money stredded somewhere far far away from his home and then casually asking him if he have ever considered prostituting himself to get the cash.

Just FTR, I've NEVER talked to a lad on the phone. Not once. It's just a rule of mine. And I've managed to get several lads on short safari's (less than 200 miles so no pith helmet) and one long, multi-legged safari. All without ever talking on the phone.

I do have a K7 voice mailbox so I get the occasional whiny voice mail...but that's it.

This is also incorrectly regarded as lad huggin' by some.
Sure, the lad gets some lovin', but if it extends the safari, it is well worth it.

Sure, give him all the love he needs in order to embark on the next stage. I have treated lads like kings on a safari in order to get their asses moved.

Like Cachuma, I have (almost) never used a phone in a bait. I needed it once, and had another baiter make the call, but I forget which lad, and forgot which baiter. None of the Simba Safari baits since I started managing the modality for Simba and Red have used a phone call.

I made one Skype Out call to Hector in Dakar as Bernie, and have never spoken to him again. The call was all of 30 seconds and not critical to the bait.

I find most of my lads will call a dozen times and hang up rather than leave a message. The line "I screen my calls to avoid telemarketers" tends to help them stay on long enough to get billed.

I have a SIP account with voicemail and an IPKall number. I can pick up if not busy.

This warmed my toes, lads will use numbers that don't show, often calling 6 times without being answered.
