Up a mountain? I think that YW could come up with one..

Which mountain though? Gotta be one remote, and at least a fairly difficult climb up...

"The Road To Kilimanjaro"? Very Happy

Yw, have thought of a title for phase two of this epic. Laughing

I had this silly thought when I first started here oh so many days ago Wink

.
The vindictiveness that courses though my cardio-vascular system and an overactive imagination lead me to think: Oooooh, Shit, my mega secret company just lost a Stealth Cargo Plane in Tanzania, GPS and other telemetry tell us it walloped Mt Kilimanjaro at about the 20k ft level. The lads may be intested in the 4 Billion in unburnable stuff that is littered over the mountainside. Gold, Jewellery etc, etc. I think there were a large number of 100 kg seriously fire and crash resitant Trunk Boxes containing err, negotiable bonds, foreign currency and very precious gemstones and.. and .... well it's all for the benefit of our esteemed lads (and us, we respect the efforts they make to impress us!!)

100% risky free? 20K feet up? Hmmm Mountaineering for mugus Twisted Evil

. Hope they are really fit Laughing

and have plenty of motivation for this one. Please register your interest on these official forms . We will undertake the requisite security checks and will inform you by email of the outcome Twisted Evil

If you are a succesful applicant, you will need to undergo "Orientation Training Twisted Evil

"

If anyone thinks this is even remotely worthwhile, speak up. I would love to participate as I like making lads lives "more enriching Twisted Evil

"
Time to put the tinfoil thinking caps on Exclamation

EDIT: I over estimated the elevation of Kili just a bit! Wikipedia tells me 5,895 metres (19,340 feet).

7/9

7, do you want to tag on this one.

I'd like to try a safari bait...

I have some good baits going but all the lads are busy, and I'm restless.

Since going up a mountain should require a teamwork, you could get a few lads to go there. Very Happy

Arrange in least 3 lads from remote places to meet up at one place, and go up the mountain.

i never want to go on a boat again

That is signature material right there. I like the simple quotes like that� they just make you smile.

Forget the safari hats, @YW almost scored a sunk mugu...

we had to operate a pump with our own power to pump water from the boat which was filling.

people carry me from the boat and bring me home.

now i have nothing but angered sister and brother in-law.

Nothing warms my heart as much as thought of a truly miserable lad.

The Lengai would be a much more beautiful surprise to the mugu. I mean, nobody has to tell the traveller that there is an active volcano at the GPS coordinates of the trunkbox and that the "black mud" surrounding it is lava.

The final line of Troy McClure's last email he sent is priceless:

Quote:

I would understand but then I will not give you a single dime of this since you made me go through all this trouble.

Can you imagine the lad sitting in his internet cafe, reading this, after a 10,000 mile safari, getting seasick at the end and nearly getting shipwrecked? That HE is causing YOU "all this trouble"? Oh man, this is entertainment.. pure entertainment Smile

This guy is so abused and somehow keeps writing you. Unreal!

By far the best Safari. Ever. I'm so full of pride, that I'm actually tearing up. It's...just so god damned...beautiful!

YW's a pro. He makes it look easy. Smile

I think it was mentioned before, but it bears repeating.

Stephen Okoma is in the same bind as many scam victims who are so absorbed in the story the Lad has drawn them into that they cannot accept that they are being swindled. Having gone so far, he cannot accept that he has become the victim.

YW, you are a genius.

Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 12:58 pm

Okoma has threatened to call the authorities on Troy. He is finished chasing the money and does not even seem to be entertaining the idea of "scubu" diving for it. So, naturally, Troy mocked and dared Okoma to call the police and make a total fool of himself.

Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:17 pm

Why dont you tellhim to take it up with the captain of the 'risky free', surely its his fault if his leaky old bathtub cant even keep up with a trunk floating in the current.

Seriously though this is the perfect end to a perfect bait, the only way it could have been bettered is if there really was a trunk out there and he could have opened it and found a handwritten note from YW (and perhaps a webcam to capture hie facial expression at that moment)

Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:26 pm

YW - Maybe it is time for Detective Joe Friday of the Namibian police to call Okoma? I am sure Okoma would jump at the chance to help with the investigation.

@Bruin,
Not a bad idea! Kinda like the scammers who say they can help 419 victims get their money back. I imagine there would be a big reward for anyone who could help return the $$ to its rightful owners! There may not be much chance for a safari, and I think our friend is pretty much out of money and friends, but he could probably be persuaded to spend more time, and get his hopes raised again!

Also, I'm glad it was finally the mugu himself who got to suffer, and not just one of his minions Very Happy

Good job YW!

Okoma to the police: "Sir, this fool, he made me get sick on a boat by looking for his stolen money that I was going to steal for myself."

I think we all know what he would've done had the money been real.

You know what I would do? I'd wait a week, and then e-mail him a picture of a box full of money (fake of course. Put that color laserjet to work!). Maybe also send him a photo of some guy sitting on a beach in Bali while sipping a nice cold delicious beverage.

Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 8:28 pm

I still think you should go for some trophy pictures. tell him that you quit your job and found the money, and the only way he can get his cut is if....

Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:44 pm

OMG! It took me literally hours to read this whole thread, including all of your sigs. Fantastic! I am in awe. This is one of the funniest and most clever things I have ever read in my life.

Hats of to you YW!!!

I am humbled. I have much to learn.

You could send your lad an email, advising that although you have recovered the funds, you have not forgotten about his past efforts to assist you. He should contact your secretary for his check. Smile

Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 6:19 am

Minnow, you, and I, all of us, are in the presence of unadulterated safari genius. This, my friend, is rare air we breathe.

YW, BW, Jojo.
