5. A 3-time convicted felon wanted in several states and banned for life from all of South America (under the penalty of death in Bolivia).
Although I am yet to even mention this to any of the 4 men copied (this is the first they are hearing of this) I am confident they will be up for a good game of A2A, however, will require you to counter with a similar group of young women. I keep a detailed dossier on each of the men copied and can provide brief biographies upon request.

Personal Trainer
Innovative personal trainer for overweight women. (NYC)
Are you an over weight woman looking to trim down? I have an adrenaline pumping and intense exercise routine that just may interest you! What I offer is a cross training service to help you slim down, improve your cardiovascular activity, and have some fun! Here is how it works!
We meet at a specific outdoor location of my choosing with a decent amount of stairs, sidewalks, crosswalks, buildings, etc in NYC. I’ll give you a head start of about 30 seconds then I come chase you down like a raging lunatic! I’m 6’4” and whiter than snow. Picture Silas from The Da Vinci Code—fucking terrifying. I also have an uncontrollable drinking problem so you’ll know I’ll have incredibly blood shot eyes and smell like I slept in the basement of a gin distillery ! Aside from my general appearance and lack of emotional stability I have several other tactics to make you want to run away from me and raise your heart rate in a fun and exciting way!
Worried about being in too poor a shape to participate? Don’t worry! I’ve got all the bases covered. When I start to close in on some of my fatter slower clients I yell nonsensical words and racial slurs while holding my hands out like a zombie !! I’ve found it really lights a fire under their butts. If I do catch you prior to the conclusion of the workout I’ll simply bite your ankles several times until you kick your way free and hit the home stretch for a solid finish!
So if you are interested in getting in shape and having some good old fashioned fun while doing it, please, just email me! I am available most weekends and some week nights. Prices are negotiable. Summer is right around the corner, ladies!

Bear Taxidermy
RE: Giant Bear Taxidermy
Hi -
This bear is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Have you sold it yet?
I see you are selling it for $729. Unfortunately, we are in a large recession and I cannot afford it. I propose a counter offer. What if you were to GIVE my room mates and I Chester (I’ve already named him) for free and we will re-pay you by hunting down and killing an even larger animal next chance we get. Weapons, no weapons. Your choice.
Think about it..

RE: Giant Bear Taxidermy (the truth)
Alright, I’m rolling up the sleeves. It’s time you hear the truth about this Bear you are selling.
I killed that big motherfucker with my own bare hands (pun! aayyooo!) and left in-sizer tooth. I’d recognize it anywhere. I tried to barter, I tried to offer counter proposals. I didn’t want to tell you this, but the truth is inevitable. I killed that fucking bear, therefore I am the rightful owner of it’s stuffed half carcass. I don’t know who you bought it off of for ”$2500” in the underground taxidermy black market, but clearly this vendor has forgotten the great lesson taught to us by Keith David in the 1990 classic film Men At Work, that is, “Never touch anotha’ mans fries.” It’s time you hear the truth.
It was the winter of 1979, the coldest winter on record as I’m sure you remember. The middle east was once again playing hardball with Jimbo Carter and oil prices were through the roof. My modest 1 bedroom cabin upstate was burning on what little oil it had left. I had calculated I had about 4 hours of heat left before finding an additional source, but I wasn’t going to wait around to find out. I set out into the forest with nothing but my knife, my boots, and my rapist wit. My goal was to hunt chipmunks, house cats, and other varmint of similar nature. soon I found much more than I bargained for. After about 6pm I stumbled upon “your” bear, Chester, smack dab in the middle of the woods taking a shit (yes, the legends are true). I snuck up from behind him, knife drawn, with hopes of slitting his throat. When I was about 8 feet away I accidental stepped on a dry twig which made a “snap” sound. He twirled around and threw a ninja star at me, dislodging my knife from my hand. It was clear this was going to come down to fisticuffs. It was on. We exchanged blows for the better part of a day and a half, right there in the middle of the woods. The next part gets a little blurry as I had lost well over 2 quarts of blood, but when my memory came to I was laying on Chesters dead body, my tooth had ripped him square across the chest and spilled his insides all over the cold ground and my face. It was only then I realized the harsh truth. Chester was pregnant, there were 4 little bear cubs that spilled out of his stomach. I was mortified. I made a pact right there that Chester’s last battle would not be in vain. I immediately had his carcass stuffed to be preserved and began nursing the 4 cubs on my teet. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. I put each of those 4 bears through college ( 2 of which have made the dean’s list in consecutive semesters). Now with Brett, the youngest of the 4 in his senior year, I looked into tracking down Chester to return him to his rightful home. I have traveled all over the world looking for this carcass, and my search has lead to to craigslist. To you.
Hear me now. Arrange a meeting to exchange what is rightfully mine and I promise I will protect you from all future Bear attacks. If you refuse, and word gets out in the wildlife community what you are harboring from me. well I’m sorry my friend. You are on your own.
