The Crying Game - the ending was SO obvious!

[webcowgirl]

So sallysimpleton and I were making fun of a mutual friend who had fallen in love with some girl in South Africa he met on the internet. The pictures he had of her were so patently not of any real person, and as the story went of COURSE she needed him to wire her money so she could come visit him and then he realized what a FOOL he'd been making of himself.

Then I had the chance/misfortune to click on the link on inthismoment's journal to the "Trust Metrics" site, hit the LJ that was linked to from there, and suddenly -- time for a trip to England! Boy, that fella sure makes the British equivalent of a Dude Ranch look GOOD!

The whole thing reminded me of this urban legend--
The following ad appeared in a newspaper:

SBF Seeks Male companionship. Age and ethnicity unimportant. I'm a young, svelte good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods; riding in your pickup truck; hunting, camping, fishing trips. I love cozy winter nights spent lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours.
Call 555-XXXX and ask for Daisy.

(The phone number was the Humane Society and Daisy was an eight week old black Labrador Retriever. They received 643 calls in two days.)

But did you check on the link on the British goth hottie's website about the PONY FARM?

Re: Click here for South African HOTTIES

[miss-villanelle.livejournal.com]

which name? there are so many, i don't know which one you are referring to!

Re: Click here for South African HOTTIES

[sallysimpleton.livejournal.com]

Yes, which name? I wasn't sure who you were referring to either.

This guy!

But this is the picture that I like:

"Hi, I hear that in order to visit me you're going to need me to wire a large quantity of money to a bank account and give you all of my personal account information? No Problem!"

Re: This guy!

[webcowgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, the link to the Pony Farm is NOT WORK SAFE. But it's kind of subtle so you might be able to get away with it, just don't leave it on your computer when you go to lunch.

Re: This guy!

[miss-villanelle.livejournal.com]

mrrrowr is right! nice pic.

and i must say, that place does take going to a pony farm to a whole new level! lordy, there are things going on out there in the big wide world that you never would have even thought of!

Re: This guy!

[webcowgirl.livejournal.com]

We get the Wet Spot, they get the pony club? There is no justice in this world that I should be born in America when obviously I should be in Europe.

Re: This guy!

[ciphergoth.livejournal.com]

There are pony clubs in the US too! But there, the ponies carry the riders directly on their backs, while here we use carts.

I'm glad you enjoyed my writeup! We are going again soon, in mid-September.
