Can the next safari be outside of Africa? Add some severe financial pain to their misery. I recommend a South Pacific island.

Hehe, wouldn't that be a hoot. The current takes the box out to the mediterranean, through the strait of gibraltar, and around the west coast of africa.. where it runs aground right next to the other box on the skeleton coast..

Would that be the record for a lad meet?

The website is now fully updated. It looks like we are waiting for a travel visa at this point which should still take a couple of days.

I am now all tingly with excitement and anticipation...

it would be great if some day the two boxes full of cash could meet out in the ocean somewhere!!! haha

LMFAO @ the retard lad from Ghana - talk about hard to get off script. He's more dense than a black hole.

It seemed like the real time GPS thing is extremely hard to do. So the best idea we could come up with is to let the mugu think that he had the ability to track the box on the GPS website. This should prove to be very difficult for the lad. A moving treasure chest would be pretty frustrating. Every time he gets close, the water moves it just a little more.

Here we go again! Laughing

Poor, greedy sucker. I hope he gets lost somewhere in the desert

I am really interested in getting one of those skull and crossbones. And MAYBE we can get called something as cool as YW�s �unimaginable bastard pig�. I need a title like that. YW should add that to his business cards.

Shall we be expecting any carnage at the site camp?
The heat out there can drive a man insane and what with all the pressure he is under with the deal, then the slightest little thing could set Sal off. Shocked

Holy cow!!! Where did he come up with that? Add a British accent and it's Monty Python's Holy Grail all over...."I'm being repressed!!!"

Yea, he sounds like a real commie or something, doesn't he? I am guessing that he pulled it out of a script or something. That sounds way too intelligent, even for a lad well up the ladder.

Going for a bit of oneupmanship on you guys .....

Out of his depth lad in Nigeria :-
"Our company directors will be having an end of year audicting in Thailand which we shall be sending you an invitation to attend as our esteem associate and business partner we do hope you will be chance enough to be part of this."

I accepted of course!

"P.S. I should be able to make it to Thailand so please do send a formal invitation. I look forward to meeting you there in person. Maybe we could finish our deal off there?"

No Chance I've insulted this lad enough already! Previous email from me to him "Oh and since when did Prof Chucky Soludo work for a crappy little Chinese laundry company?") - ignored by lad

Make sure you tell him "no ticket, no laundry!"

YW- - Assuming the trunk box successfully navigates its way to the Mediterranean (which I think is a fairly likely scenario), may I suggest that it turn EAST? Israel is really touchy right now about unidentified fishing boats entering its waters, and Hezbollah just fired a Chinese-made Silkworm missile at an Egyptian freighter (sinking it) and damaged an Israeli patrol boat (http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htweap/articles/20060718.aspx)

All in all, it is a really nice place to send your Mugu.

^^^^
That sounds like lots of fun. Very Happy

Hopefully we will get that far. Right now though, we are totally focused on just getting the lad to Egypt. There are still a million ways that this thing can die on us.

We also are dealing with a different sort of lad than I am used to seeing. For one, he is using gmail. This is my first gmail lad. And two, he may also have his very own computer. BW saw that he was online at 4AM African time, although not actually doing anything. This would suggest that the lad was using his gmail account and then went to bed without closing the browser. I very much doubt that could happen in a cafe setting. What sort of lad has his own computer?

Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:38 pm

I've encountered about 2 or 3 lads since I have been baiting that sent me emails that were during weird hours of the night (in nigeria). So I suppose there are a few mugus with computers...perhaps the ones that have been successfully scamming?

I wonder if they write it off during tax season as a "business expense". Very Happy

I was thinking...perhaps we could get him to migrate to a yahoo account....perhaps citing the weak security of gmail and the possiblity that your conversations are being monitored, as opposed to yahoo which doesnt have that problem at all.

Don't be surprised about seeing times that are weird for Nigeria or Europe. I've come across lads from the Philipines, North America and India.

I'm also certain my sobbing lad has his own computer, as he forwarded some stuff to me in between one of our calls, at times that the cafes in Accra were likely closed.

I am now distressed. The douche bag is asking for money. Don't they understand the concept of being IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!?!?!?

I get sick of the advanced payment thing.

Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:34 pm

Don't worry. I've got this one handled.

Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 2:59 pm

He stopped the whining a wee bit and says he will borrow the money from his brother. That's fine, as long as he has to borrow it. I wish I knew the names of a few good loan sharks in Nigeria. Maybe Chuck Soludo could get him a nice loan.

We may have a second lad for this journey although I personally feel that he is not nearly as good as the first one. I have added a page on the website for this second guy. See what you think.

Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2006 8:56 am

haha lol. He doesn't seem to trust you, but is coming around Smile

If you could get 2 on the hook it'd be great, opens up the opertunity of setting them off against each other Twisted Evil

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No thank you. I quite like this part of the world as it is.
