Well folks, looks like I get to retire now! The generous Mrs. Hoopla (I swear I am not making this up… it’s from Mrs. Hoopla) because she’s apparently a dying 70 year old who doesn’t want her dirty family to get the money after she kicks the big one. So what is this poor woman to do? Donate it to me of course! Don’t believe me? I have the email to prove it!

Hello,

This offer might be strange, but is the wish of a dying 70 years old woman who now realizes belatedly that there is more to life than mere acquisition of cash{money} and fame. My name is Mrs. Maria Hoopla a widow. My late husband and I perhaps due to our aristocratic background and bad influences lived and never cared for nobody or whose ox was gored, our motto was be rich and famous and the world will be at your feet. I am diabetic and recently diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. The report is obviously not good, several chemotherapy treatments have not helped either and the obvious fact is that I have few days/weeks more on planet earth.

Being childless couple, I inherited all my husband wealth and our relations are no good, as they are waiting patiently for my death to use all our money for illicit and obscene business/things. Before my health deteriorated that I am completely dependant on them for basic necessities I have done charitable ventures within our neighborhoods and beyond and this angered them as they wish to reap from where they did not sow.

Having come to the realizations of what life is all about-caring for others. I have given legal consent and full authority to my attorney-Barrister Ruud Van Boer of Winschoten Consultants based in Amsterdam the Netherlands to immediately disburse all the money to people/charitable homes and the choice of beneficiaries was done by sampling. Your name was luckily picked and I have willed the sum of U.S.D{Ten Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S.D} only to you wish is presently deposited in a security company.

This money should be used STRICTLY for humanitarian/charitable cause. Contact my lawyer immediately who will guide you on the modalities on how you are to visit the security company in Amsterdam the Netherlands for the collection of this money. His e-mail address is ruudvanboer@netscape.net.

Please quote my personal reference number for ease of collection-law/chamber/solicitors/je/ws/WILL/000122 when reaching him by mail, he will give you all the Legal documents to boost the release of the Funds to you.

I plead with you never to deviate from this agreement and I beg of you to pray that my soul rest in peace.

Thanks.
Mrs. Maria Hoopla

How cool is THAT?!

So now Nigerian scamming scum no longer try to scam you with lotteries or account transfers to hold… they just want to flat out donate everything to you. How charming!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to call Barrister Ruud Van Boer of Winschoten Consultants to collect my millions from Mrs. Hoopla!

Faken

This just in from the ol P2L contact form from “Devious”.

Way to steal the layout and call it as your own! Link

So I take it the thought that perhaps I OWN IT never entered your pea-sized brain did it?  I can completely understand your thinking…  a site that is totally against ripping would NATURALLY rip a template for themselves right?  Whoops…  looks like you suck, please insert another quarter and try again.  Ah well… Neil (owner of 4Templates whom I speak to every few days) and I had a good laugh at your expense.

For those of you scratching your heads, check this post and all shall be revealed!

Time for Bed!

So I just spent a couple of hours sorting tutorials again tonight…  COME ON GUYS!  The amount of dead links and links going to passworded forums is just insane.  If it’s worth the effort to get listed, at least check your submissions before you click that submit button.

Aside from that, May 1st is still our tentative release date for the version 2 edition of P2L.  Due to new information gleaned from Jay, it looks like Google’s attempts to police the internet are forcing me to dump Tutorialseek being an independant site and just forward it to P2L.  This is actually why Templatemonster.com was recently deleted/banned from Google’s database… too many sites mirroring their content and poof you’re toast.  So I’d rather not get shit on by google thank you very much.

Anyhow, v2 is plugging along… basically Jay is starting to skin the forums at this point and he’s finishing up a whole new section being added to the site and we’re golden.  The forums have apprently been giving Jay some headaches, plus he’s got college kicking his ass, so we’ll see if he can pull this off 😉

That’s about it from here… time for a pee break, get some snacks and then approve more tuts…  only about 500 or so in the queue 🙁

Peace.
