Finally, I can give something (not much but something) back to the folks here at Eater! I now have a lovely colour scanner, and will be happy to share its capabilities for the common good.

So let's say your mugu wants a form filled out and a) he's not moving ahead until he gets it, b) it would really help your bait by adding credibility & stuff or c) he just really needs to be messed with. BUT you don't want to fill it in on your screen and you don't have a printer/scanner set up. Well just shoot me a PM with a copy of the form, the information you want filled in, and a few suggestions as to how bad it should be, and old Obi-Wan here will send you a 100% certified risky-free completed form to send to your lad.

As an example, I did this little gem just to show off my "skill" for this sort of thing...

I can also make the forms as small as you'd like, and I tried to keep that one mostly legible because it's just for use here. I'm perfectly willing to do MCTN's too. It's the least I can do.

What a nice offer. I am sure your skills will be in demand.

A very kind gesture. Im 100% against filling forms in for lads so wont be in touch too often, but if I get a pet who is just too much damn fun and wont have it any other way, I'll PM you.

Cheers !

luckily scanners often come with various settings you can choose regarding image quality - from ultra compressed jpeg to extra high resolution colour TIFF images, something to ruin everybodys day downloading unviewable images or ones running to tens of megabytes for a single page (only to be missing an MTCN of course).

That middle ground of viewable, reasonably sized files is for losers Wink

@manbites: You're damn right! While I'll be delighted to create the most crack-addicted-looking completed form your lad has ever seen, I offer my 100% risky free guaran-friggin-tee that he won't get a control number or anything else that he can take to the proverbial bank.

Since we already have a warehouse full of wonderfully useless / corrupted WU and MG forms, I doubt I'll receive many requests for those. I'll still do them of course, but I doubt I can improve on what's been done. Same thing with the passports. The lads that come to mind are the dying widows' lawyers, the lotto-monkeys, cheque-mule mugus and the loan/employment drones.

See, I like mugus with forms because I'll "fill" in their form and get it back to them, then act all offended when they press me for details which I already provided. To date, only two of them have admitted they can't make out the information I provided to them. This, of course, does not apply to MCTN's or payment details.... but that's a whole 'nother theme park!
