I sure as hell ain't Cupid Keith, but for starters you need to lose
that drab gray look and get a little color me beautiful thing
going on your barrel. You might consider not showing all
those pearly whites and see if you have enough lips to
cover them bad boys and just let a little smile peek out.
If I wasn't twisting the Nigerian's arm to burp up my
swag shipment, I would ask him about a few of his
jungle love moves. Good luck Keith, you might try
some catchy hooks like: "Irish Petroshark seeks
Nubian love connection." or something like that...

Okay, I get it, the Nigerian is gone and my swag is never going to
show up.

Best of luck Mr. Nigerian, it was awfully swell while it lasted, and
happy trails to you and the mule you rode in on.

I think it only fitting that the efarmer follow his favorite mule
out into the great pasture where the sky meets the blowing
sage. Point the wagon tongues north at night and wake up
with something funny to carry you westward with the morning
light.

This Nigerian has been very busy repelling the walls of his compound. it is believed the entire shipment of the Ask A NIgerian's Groovy Grab Bag has been pilfered by local teenagers out of school for the summer.

Those little rascals!

It looks like they busted your Groovy Grab Bag of Swag like it was a pan-African pinata.

I understand that the man below is the ringleader of these evil pilfering juvenile degenerate spawn of a failed state:

They call him Umaru Buckwheatigi (which means "Swag Swiper" in Igbo).

They say that looking into his eyes is like looking into a warehouse full of stolen property.

Mr. Ebay,

When I heard that Nigerian Tribal Warfare had been released, I went right down to my local Game Stop and asked when it would be available for the Wii. I almost broke down when Ken, the store manager, told me that Nigerian Tribal Warfare ("NTW 09" is what he called it) is not currently scheduled for release in the Wii format. What's up with that? Mrs. Tex and LittleTex were so upset.

Ken was, however, very helpful in trying to direct us to an alternative to NTW 09. As a result, we are now the proud owners of "Pipeline Command", which is similar to the old arcade version of Missile Command, except that you are responsible for firing rocket propelled grenades at pipeline service facilities.

So far, we are having a blast! (pardon the pun)

jasonraymondson,

Below is the letter of introduction I sent to Colonel Savimbi. He will probably be contacting you soon.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')EAR Colonel Savimbi,

I GOT YOUR email and WITH TRUE BELIEVE I think THAT YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON that would like to meet my good internet friend jasonraymondson. I HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR COOPERATION AS your tribal relations may be IN DANGER IF NOT WELL HANDLED.

I AM BigTex, SON TO THE LATE GENERAL Sam Houston III, LEADER OF THE Alamo Battle Re-Enactment Society WHO WAS SHOT DEAD ON MONDAY 25TH FEBRUARY 2002 BY THE OPPOSING FORCES OF a drunk Mexican who mis-took him for the gringo who sold him a stolen pickup.

FOR THE PAST YEARS NOW OUR State of Texas HAVE BEEN IN POLITICAL CRISIS AND CONFLICTS involving THE Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the National Football League.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, I WAS GIVEN US$10.5MILLION DOLLARS AND GOLD BAR , MEANT FOR THE PURCHASING OF two first round draft picks and 400 cases of vodka FROM RUSSIA AND A MINI LAFAYETTE FRIGATE FROM UKRAINE.

AFTER HIS DEATH, I CONSIDERED IT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AS HE IS NOW LATE TO CONFISCATE THE PACKAGE AND DIVERTED IT FROM Houston THROUGH THE FREIGHT DEPT. (no one know what happened to the frigate) WHERE IT HAS BEEN DEPOSITED ON A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH DIPLOMATIC SERVICE IN New Orleans AS A PERSONAL TREASURE.

THEREFORE, MY AIM OF CONTACTING YOU IS FOR YOU TO be aware of my good friend jasonraymondson who ASSISTS ME WITH PERSONALITY AND INFLUENCE and runs a topless maid service on the side which I believe can be utilized TO TRANSFER AND SECURE THE SAID TREASURE OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY, INTO YOUR POSSESSION. I HAVE THE AMBITION OF INVESTING THIS MONEY IN ASIA AND jasonraymondson believes that a topless maid service will be a huge hit in that part of the world--he wants to call it "Me So Dirty"--and he believes that you are the man to run it AS WELL KEEPING A LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

PRESENTLY, I STAY IN the Dallas area WHERE I HAVE BEEN IN HIDE-OUT SINCE THE PAST YEARS I WAS SENT ON THIS ASSIGNMENT BEFORE MY FATHER DIED. I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL TO YOU THAT I AM ANXIOUSLY LOOKING FORWARD FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE AS THE URGENCY IMPLIES. jasonraymondson also really wants to meet you and discuss your role in MSD Enterprises!

I NEED YOU TO STAND AS MY LATE FATHER'S BENEFICIARY TO THIS CONSIGNMENT SO THAT YOU WILL USE YOUR PERSONALITY AS A FOREIGNER TO COMMUNICATE WITH COURIER SERVICE AGENCY and tell them that you are the pimp of the maid hos and vouch for their legitimacy TO TRANSFER THIS TREASURE TO the trunk of jasonraymondson's car, which will be driven to YOUR LOCATION BECAUSE I AM NOT PERMITTED TO TRAVEL TO OUT OF Texas FOR DIPLOMATIC REASONS. jasonraymondson can't come because he is taking summer school classes.

IF YOU CAN SINCERELY ASSIST ME TOWARDS SECURING THIS FUND, WITHOUT ANY SELFISHNESS, BY YOUR TRUST, WE SHALL DISCUSS ABOUT YOUR PERCENTAGE SHARE FIRST AS SOON AS I RECEIVE YOUR URGENT AND POSITIVE REPLY. You will realize with happiness that a large portion of your reward will be the privilege of making the acquaintance of such a hardcore player as jasonraymondson AND FURTHER JOINT VENTURES, including rolling out topless maid service internationally. jasonraymondson believes that after the global business model is perfected with Me So Dirty, it will be possible to move into other emerging markets, starting with China ("Me So Commie"), and then moving into India ("Me So Smelly").

PLEASE KINDLY, HANDLE THIS PROPOSAL WITH YOUR UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY AS I WILL BE HERE TO COORDINATE INFORMATION FOR YOU TO ASSIST UNDER MY APPROVAL FOR ONWARD TRANSFER TO YOUR COUNTRY. Please begin making arrangements to secure passage to Shreveport, where you will rendezvous with the maid ho squad and receive further instructions.

Note: No one knows the real content of consignment, though there are rumors that it may also include a large cake full of Vietnamese strippers, so i want you to protect the fund to ensure safety on my side.

I HOPE THAT MY COMMUNICATION WITH YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED WITH EVERY CONFIDENTIALITY. jasonraymondson feels the same way.

THANK AND GOD BLESS YOU.

sincerely
BigTex

Mr Tex,

It is true that NTW 09 is not for purchase yet. This is most disapointing. The designers at Digital Igbo Applications have been working on getting this to market for almost 5 years now. The software designers say the Wii nunchuk had great potential in its virtual machete mode. It seems the Movement for the Emancipation of the Nigerian Delta are most displeased with the entire concept of be shot as sport.

I did however pickup a demo for my mistress. My illegetimate son stays inside and plays it all day. I never thought my bastard child could ever bring his father such shame.

Oh well, here is a screenshot of the pirated demo..

Mr Nigerian, I believe that successfully bringing to market a realistic nunchuck virtual machete "first person chopper" game (or series of games) has tremendous potential to bring you wealth from a legitimate source.

If I might suggest a few titles for a first person machete wielder platform, please consider the following:

- Genocide 2009
- My Sims Bloodbath
- Hacky Shack
- Chopping Point


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')ere is a screenshot of the pirated demo..

Thanks for the preview. Below is a screen shot from "Pipeline Command."

What you are seeing is the end of level 4. I enjoy watching Mrs. Tex play because she always ends this level by exclaiming: "Uh huh, that's right. I put a cap in yo weak ass drilling equipment."

Mr. Nigerian:

I'm in the market for a nice hybrid or urban bicycle, to commute to work (5 miles one-way) and pedal around the neighborhood. Not looking to become 100-mile Lance on the weekends or anything, just something that's a little less arduous to maneuver and ride than my current mountain bike.

Any suggestions? Or would another kind of vehicle suit me better?

Thanks in advance,
EB

Mr. Biggins,



The average Nigerian's mouth hangs agape at the prospect of a such distingushed individual commute to work this way. See now in Nigeria only low level clerks and street merchants use the bike.

This Nigerian however is quite the continental dignitary. This Nigerian understands differences between our cultures. I must express it dipleases me you use Post Grapenuts instead of Nigerian sweet to power your mode of transportation. I do however concede you are doing your part to save the planet. This allows others more of the Nigerian sweet to be consumed . For your question, we must consult a old friend of mine.

BTW-We are doing the most innovative things with Nigerian Archetecture. The 43 story Ombso commerce tower uses 100% recycled steel, vinyl siding, chipboard, and beer bottles.

Image

Mr.Biggins,

I am Dr. Enoch Abayo, proffesor of physics, engineering, and automechanics at Lagos Community College. As a nigerian intellectual, I find that having a fine bike has many merits. The 21 speed alots me the ability tear ass out of certain neighborhoods during gunfights. I advise you to select a crossover bike with the thinnest of tires. Thin tires are not as attractive to tire theiving mobs searching for burning materials.

During my days as a graduate student, I was once accosted by a mob of Nigerian soldiers. My graduate theisis on how soldiers are lap dogs for white devil oil companies was most unpopular. In the summer of 1997 three soldiers grabbed me and beat me with my tire pump. At the time the tire pump was most handy as the Nigerian army had no money for rifles or nightsticks . After 2 strikes the plastic pump broke. The remainder of my rebuke was dispensed as disparaging remarks in Yorba. Many times the bike clerk wil try to upsell you on clothing. MAKE SURE IT IS RESISTANT TO CHEMICALS! During civil disruptions common folks will often throw bleach, acid, lye, or corrosive agents to cyclists. From my daily alerts I recieve from the Drudge report, I suspect America will soon resemble Nigeria. Consider this when you buy accessories.

At your service,

Dr.Abayo

For his question, Mr. Biggins shall recieve a DVD on Nigerian wealth building from the Ask A Nigerians! Groovy Grab Bag of Swag

Mr Nigerian,

Is there a problem with bicycle theft in your country?

For anyone planning a bicycle tour of your beautiful land, would you recommend that they bring some type of security device for their bicycle, and if so what type would you recommend?

Many thanks in advance!

(BTW, I live in Texas, home of egomaniac cancer survivor bicyclist Lance Armstrong. I have enjoyed watching him ride his bicycle in the Tour de France. Has anyone in your country considered the idea of having a bicycle tour fashioned along the lines of the Tour de France? You could call it the "Tour de Nigeria", or maybe "Pedal for Your Life!".)

Many thanks, Dr. Abayo - I have chosen a ride that I believe I will find suitable - a nice Marin Fairfax urban bicycle, although in purchasing the bicycle, I failed to remember that I do not have a suitable rack to get the bike the 20-mile distance back to my house. It's funny that you mention escaping violence on a bicycle, as this purchase was either between a bicycle, or a 9mm Sig. The Sig will have to wait. :(
