My Application for Shola

February 24, 2006 by Jack Steiner 14 Comments

If you are new to this story click here first. I think that this is about the sixth in the series. Not sure because I am not really counting.

Shola sent me a new email. Here is what it said:

Dear Jack
Good morning ,You can use any Bank of your choice
that you that is trusted,
Please confirm if you received my international
Passport I sent to you yesterday,
Replay
Shola

Here is my reply

Dear Shola,

I apologize for the delayed response but I have been having extreme computer problems. I spent many hours checking into these matters and had to employ the esteemed computer technician Scooby Doo to investigate what was causing this issue.

I was told that it was a computer virus and it was suggested that it was received when I opened your note with your passport. This upset me greatly and I considered ending our relationship.

However as you may remember I am a follower and true believer of the Church of The TreeFrog and hold the position of Bishop of BullFrog. As a holy man I do not make hasty decisions. I held a meeting with the holy croaker circle (see attached picture) and even consulted his highness the most holy High Jumper (see picture) and have decided to give you a second chance.


To that end I am attaching a copy of the application that I am sending to the bank so that you are kept in the loop regarding all important decisions.

I look forward to sharing the money with you and wish you a hopping good day.

Croakingly yours,

Jack

This is a copy of the application I submitted. Or should I say here are the answers to the application Shola sent me.

Computer Nightmare

February 24, 2006 by Jack Steiner 9 Comments

I am working off of my laptop right now. It is not how I typically work as I prefer to use my desktop, but something has happened to it. I am not sure what it is and am attempting to diagnose it.

What I know for certain is that it is not working. It is only through a lot of scrambling and crap that I got this thing up and running. Funny how important a bunch of keys and wires have become to me.

All I know is that this is going to cost me money. I can feel it. I am praying that my hard drive didn’t decide to commit suicide today.

For Shola

February 23, 2006 by Jack Steiner 10 Comments

I just sent this email off to Shola. It is in response to the one he sent me along with his passport.

Hi Shola,

I am trying to decide which bank we should use for this as I bank with several.

Cleveland Bank of Plunder and Spoil
1313 Mockingbird Lane
Cleveland, Ohio 44102
Personal Agent: Herman Munster

Barnacle Bob Bank of Mistrust
4 Is the Square Root of 16 Lane
Toledo, Ohio 44104
Personal Agent: Barney Fife

Dinah Mite Financial
69 Comelickmeclean Road
Bustedtuchus, Ohio 44018
Personal Agent: Hawkeye Pierce

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions as to which one you think would be easiest to work with? I have had many interactions with Mr. Munster as when I was young I used to watch him. So perhaps it might make sense to work with his institution of deceit, deception, distrust and dismay.

-Jack

The J-Blogosphere is Not Dying

February 23, 2006 by Jack Steiner 13 Comments

Contrary to the opinions of some the J-Blogosphere is not dying or even in a rut. It is undergoing a dynamic and fluid evolution in which some “older” blogs are dropping out of the game. But have no fear because just as we see in life the population is not shrinking.

These old blogs are being replaced by new blogs. Some of them are pretty good and some of them are just awful.

The hardest thing for me is not running out of content, I can always find material to blog about. No, the bigger challenge is finding time to read and respond.

Speaking of which, I have got to run for a bit. See you later.
