Hi Everyone,

Here's the funniest email I have received this week.

(Wow, I wasn't aware of that! Considering this email came from aol.com and
not lego.com , I'm wondering how this person has the power to offer me money
from The LEGO Company. ;^)  )

(Whoops! There's the request for a model or instructions!)

He hasn't written back to tell me which model he wants to give me $500.00
for. Maybe he wasn't interested after all. I've had plenty of time to think
about it, however. :^)

Stay Tuned for next week's exciting episode.

I'm assuming that this is the same little turdy that sent you the mail last week? (yes, turdy IS a word: ter-dee- someone who acts like a idiot ie: a turd, commonly used for people younger, or lower in social status than you.) Oh yeah, sarcasm (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.general)

ROTFLMAOACSOICBB! ROTHFLMAO- And Crying So Hard I Can Barely Breathe! That was the funniest story I've heard all week, Mark! Seriously though, if offered the cash, would you do it? I'll take a Helldog II for $35 (heh!). I would and have sold my (...) (25 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.general)
