It seems that he keeps burying these trunk boxes near the river and they get swept out to sea. Pretty careless if you ask me, since it has happened twice already.

Meanwhile, Okoma was quite sea sick. It did not sound like the seas were particularly rough but he was unable to handle it.

Help finally came. The boat was able to start again, and they simply went back to Lagos. Okoma spent the next day or two trying to regain his strength. It sounds like he was massively dehydrated and weak from puking days on end and not being able to keep any food or water down.

Yarr matey, thar lad is a land lubber. Land lubbers have no tolerance for the great seas, and it is apperent this lad is no exception.

Sorry if this was mentioned earlier, but I'm just catching up with this - how did y'all convince these lads that they saw a trunk box bobbing out there in the water in the first place?

Back when the trunkbox was still in Namibia, one lad actually did think that he saw it bobbing out in the surf. He had been chasing it (the GPS location) up the coast all day and somehow thought that he could see it. Since there obviously is no trunkbox, I cannot explain what it is that he thought he was looking at. That certainly added a great deal of credibility for Okoma though. He figured since his brother in law could actually see it, it must be real.

YW: Kinda off-topic, but shouldn't you put a robots.txt that disallows the directories that have your baiting stuff so it doesn't show up on Google? Just a thought.

^^^^^
Definately! I am not sure exactly how to do that though. Anyone know how?

Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 6:32 pm

YW - - May I suggest a mass ASEM to all your contacts, inquiring about local cures for seasickness? Surely we can find something which will help him put out to sea once again! Perhaps it will involve goat dung?

Yeah, on the root directory of your site put a file called 'robots.txt' that contains the following:

Code:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /directory to block/

Just add as many 'disallow' lines as you need, or just use 'Disallow: /' to block everything from Google, and pretty much any semi-legit webrobot (so basically all search engines)

I agree. When I googled " http://gpsflight.catholiccall.org", it pointed to your website. It is lucky your lad did not do this, however some lads are smarter than others and one quick google could kill the entire bait.

Thanks remu. I will add that pronto.

YW,

All things considered, this has been the best of your safaris to date, mainly because of the Lad's colossal self-deception. Those sorts of qualities don't get measured on that safari rating program.

And the best thing is, there may be plenty more to come!

Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:08 pm

Well, I sure do hope that there is still more to come. This guy has still not figured out that he is being baited. How dumb can you be? I am not really sure where I am going with this from here. The money is sitting in what I believe is less than a couple hundred feet of water, not far off the shore. I am not about to think that the fool can go scuba diving but that would be awesome.

The first thing that I think that I am going to do from here is just try to figure out if he is even willing to pursue the money anymore. Technically speaking, McClure does not need Okoma's help anymore. McClure only wanted Okoma to get the money out of Namibia. Well, now it is. McClure might be able to just quit his job and go scuba diving for the money himself now. What does he need Okoma for?

Seriously God must love baiting or there must be a baiting god. First the lad sees a trunk box and now the pile of junk ship broke and poor mugu got sea sick, imo the best thing that could happen.

When, maybe in one or two years, this bait starts to slow down I would like to hear a burning call to 0k0ma. He should get mad as hell.

Good lord! I can't imagine the Risky Free breaking down?

Maybe they can claim it under Warranty?

Actually YW, this news has made my day. The whole week I think.

Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:51 pm

Great news YW!!! You not only got him away from the internet cafe for a few days, he had a terrible time while out on the high seas. He's still talking to you on top of it all, so what's next??

Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:04 pm

After reading this and the Abu Sunbul bait I must admit I am in the prescence of genius.

Just read the jungle bait, I think that was even better. I was in serious life threatening fits of laughter over the fit body ugly head fit head ugly body bit.

maybe you could try to squeeze some trophy pics out of him. trophy pics are always nice to have.

Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:27 pm

YW- I think you just made a very profound observation:

Ergo, if McClure were to contact Okoma and say "sorry, good try, but I am going to come up and get it myself next weekend", Okoma might be highly motivated to try again! (I assume, of course, that McClure is a highly qualified scuba diver, isn't he?)

Yeawatever,

I also read the impentrable forest one, and that was hilarious. Was that whole line to him from Apocalypse Now?

Sounds like we got a race now. Taking any bets on who gets there first.

Welcome to Eater Oly Hoyle!!! Very Happy

Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 2:29 am

This is possibly your best yet YW... sure, no one was arrested in Chad (or possibly murdered?) but hey, this guy just keeps coming back for more punishment!!

I like the idea that Troy Mclure will come and get it himself... say, he is leaving in 10 days to come and get the box... this would have the mugu running his little ass off trying to get people to be able to retrieve it for him before mclure gets there!!

of course, he would probably stop contact with you though and we'd have no further updates...
this will require some serious thought, as your audience still require updates from the lad, so he cant want to ignore troy mclure or else we all lose Sad

I have given Okoma one week to recover the money or Troy McClure is going to go and get it himself. I dropped the hint that it will be easy to recover by simply renting some scuba equipment.

Maybe the lad could take one of these along to help him:

Holy crap! You and jojo are going to have to rebuild the safari calculator from the ground up Laughing

Yeah!

"Sea Voyage Distance"

"Sea Dive Depth"

I wonder if someone could bait a lad up a mountain to set a safari height record??
