The Sarah Show

I sometimes wonder if I don't put enough original content into bigmerl.com then I start to have a crisis. It's like, what is this blog if it doesn't really say anything and is 80% links to other places. Then I remember that I don't really care, its just a site. It's a hobby. The moment I start putting serious work into it then it stops being a hobby then umm... I'm gonna go back to Farking.

OMG, I COULD BE RICH? What should I do?

From: "345565346 maria abacha" Add to Address Book
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 01:02:07 +0000
Subject: URGENT REQUEST


Hello,
I am delighted to write this letter to you hoping that
you will understand my predicaments and answer back
without hesitation. I am Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha the
wife of the late Nigerian Head of State, General Sani
Abacha.
I got your contact through a reliable source, as I was
making contact for a honest foreigner who will help
save my life and my children, hence our country has
been frustrating us since the death of my husband. I
am in possession of ten million
U.S.Dollars), which I want to invest in your country.
For your clarification and understanding, this money
enclosed in a box, which I deposited with the security
company, disguised as a family effect.
It is not an ill-gotten wealth; rather, it was
generated from my organization Family Support
Program (F.S.P).I will enlighten you more on this
organization if you indicate a helping interest to
secure this money on my behalf. On your acceptance to
render this assistance to me, I will instruct the
security company to effect a change of ownership of
the funds concealed in the box to your name as the
bonafide owner to enable you retrieve the funds. Also
I will disclose to you the procedures for this
transaction.
What I demand from you is either to make arrangements
on how to come to Nigeria immediately
(your security will be guaranteed) so as to claim the
ownership of this consignment for me, and also I have
a bank chairman that will assist you open a transit
account here where the money will be deposited and
transferred to any account of your choice or if it not
suitable for you to be in Nigeria soon, I can with my attoney
connection send out the consignment as a diplomatic
consignment on your name to one of the agents of the
security company in united state.
I will then fax to you the claiming documents, which
you will use to claim the
consignment. It is 100% risk free as long as my attoney and I are
involved. It is very ideal therefore, that you contact
me through my attoney providing him
also with your private telephone and fax numbers to
enable him open up a good relationship pertaining to
this transaction.
Bear in mind that this transaction demands absolute
confidentiality because property, assets and bank
accounts both local and international bearing the
ABACHA'S family name, are being ordered to be
confiscated by the newly elected civilian President of
Nigeria (President Olusegun Obasanjo) hence I will not
want to be exposed.
For your knowledge, 15% of this fund (Ten million US Dollars) will be
given to you
if you assist me to secure this funds.

When you must have taken the agreed percentage, you
will use part of the balance to buy a living house for
my family there in your country, where we shall live
in future and the remaining part will be kept for
investment package also in united state, which will
be under your supervision.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.


Yours sincerely,
DR. (MRS) MARIAM ABACHA

Thats cool, I will give you a fine review on the Kia Rio.

4. The inside of my smells a but like vinegar right now. I don't know why.

3. The front seats have zippers on the sides of them on the back. The zippers themselves are hidden in the fabric. I had the car about a year before I noticed. Would be great for smuggling black tar heroin.

2. Low to the ground, no steps to get in, working AC, no crazy homeless people who are just riding "the rails" around town.

DiscoMonkey ::: It's All About The Banana!

I figured, new template + newly working blogthis (THANK YOU GOOGLE!) meant it was time to link to a fellow blogger.

Upgrade anyone?

Today is a big day for bigmerl.com. I just upgraded packages with the host, switching from a Geocities to a Yahoo Small Business account. Fear me now! So as a result, there is a LOT more disk space, which means maybe the novel reviews can come back? I'll look into it.
In other news, Google, bless their souls, fixed Blog This! I can blog again! Expect cool stuff to happen.
Also, if anyone wants a @bigmerl.com email addy, I can dole those out now, I have plenty to give, and they are nice (imagine if you will 2gb of disk storage on a free email addy).

As always, if anyone wants blogger access to the site (means you can post stories not just comments) just let me know and I will hook you up. We going big time!

Why I love Amazon

Daily Nebraskan - Blackshirts looking to lead revamped team

Its almost kickoff time!

Boredom strikes

Beware, this post will actually have me typing stuff!
First off, in light of MAT transit and their continually failed attempts to improve the service, I figured I would rate the various pieces of their fleet as a rider, from worst to best.

5) Those new shuttles. Those things are awful. The ride feels like there is no suspension whatever, there aren't enough seats, there isn't much legroom. These are the worst thing ever.

4) The retro busses. Now these things suffer the same suspension problem the shuttles do, as well as having exposed bolts and stuff that can tear your clothing, however they have one perk over the shuttles. They are cool looking.

3) The newer coaches. Now don't get me wrong, they are nice, and they are the highest up with huge windows so you get a nice view. They also have the pull cords which I prefer. However, where is the seat padding? If I ride one of these from the transit center home it is horrible.

2) The old busses. These things are comfy. The seats are heavily padded and there are tons of sideways facing seats. I prefer to sit sideways because you get more light to read. The only downside is some lack working A/C, others have nasty smells.

1) The low floor busses. Comfy seats and you don't have to walk up steps into them? BONUS!

Now that Rose is done laughing at me and posting comments about this, I will remind her that at least I don't drive a KIA!

I have a new favorite drink. Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Like Livewire, Mountain Dew has gone fruity. This time its grape! Yum!

I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights. I'm not sure why. I brought my temperature down about 5 degrees about 6:00 this morning and got some good napping in, so maybe that will fix it? Otherwise I'll try something drastic, like moving my bed or something.

Anyone have a spare Motorola charger lying around? Mine seems to be on the fritz and I can't find one in the stores to replace it.

I'm tired of typing, I'm gonna go back to watching TV and IMing.

Eat Meat And Die

Disclaimer: The following is in no way associated with or endorsed by Big Merl and affliates.

Let me tell you about my day. I was heading out to Shopko today with the wife and we drive by this sign by Peta, yea, those tree huggin' animal lovers. It says, and get this, Eat Meat And Die. Wha...? Huh? Are you serious? If I eat meat I'll die? Now, I don't have a problem with anyone out there that is a vegitarian or a vegan (as long as they don't try to shove their way down my throat) but I mean come on, duh. If I eat plants, I'll die. If I drink alcohol, I'll die. If I smoke, I'll die. If I be a good little boy, I'll die. Okay, for those of you that are lost by now, YOU DO ANYTHING AND YOUR GONNA DIE!!! Well, unless your immortal. By the way, if your immoral, guess what? Yea, your right, your still gonna die.

Oh, and for anyone out there that has a problem with what I said, I don't want to hear it, and guess what, your still gonna die!

Heh

So it's Saturday and I'm bumming on the web, still not feeling like dealing with everyone. I have now not answered over 50 calls according to my cell phone, so its all good.

I am apparently not evil


How evil are you?

That didn't fix it

I just reinstalled the Google Toolbar and it is still broken, maybe its time I consider emailing Blogger?

www.bleiblog.com

I haven't linked a fellow blogger in a while, so here goes one.

Friday, August 20, 2004

Ugh, Blog It is still messing up

Maybe I need to reinstall the Google Toolbar? *shrugs*
Anyways, to all the people whos calls/text messages/Instant Messages/emails/smoke signals/carrier pigeons have gone unanswered, its not just you. In an effort to restore karma points drained by working far too many hours, I have been ignoring a lot of people and being one with the Xbox. Tomorrow expect more of the same, only for me to be one with the PC, namely UT2k4.

No, this isn't the book, but I found this searching my favorites. How sad is that, my favorites are so disorganized I have to search them to find anything.

I knew I should have checked my stats sooner. Here goes one of my top search reasons :) I *heart* Google
