Maybe he should consider driving a firecracker filled VW micro-bus into the Hoover Dam while screaming Allah Akbar. He’ll save himself a grand and get 71 more virgins than he originally wanted. ---

I don’t argue the skeeviness factor of the age range. But what really gets me is that his reaction to the (IMNSHO entirely predictable) reactions of his neighbors is that: > [@skeevy-older-than-ME-dude](#): > > I just think I have some wicked neighbors. Riiiight - you’re advertising for a marriage that for the lower end of your age range matches the criteria for child-rape, and it’s your neighbors who are wicked. What a maroon. ---

Yeah, but does paying for a _bride_ count as prostitution? Since he’s advertising for a marriage rather than just a screw, could that be a loophole? ---

If it’s a loophole, it’s a tiny, tiny, miniscule, tight little one. Which is just the way our boy likes 'em, apparently… 😃 ---

Just a thought, but wouldn’t it be a brilliant idea for a young teen to take him up on the offer. Marry him, collect $1000. Then sue for devorce on the grounds of him not consomating the marriage, or sue for devorce and damages for statutary rape. Collect half the money owned by a 75year old (that house must be worth something). That should pay your way through any college you want. ---

> [@askeptic](#): > > Are there a lot of pig worshipers in OK? I mean I get the No white supremists part, those kooks are all over, but I didn’t know there were enough pig worshipers for him to have to exclude them in his sign. Not a lot of pig worshippers that I’ve run across. But in the back woods really rural areas of Oklahoma, one can find some pretty strange people. Kind of like rural Florida. And there are a fair share of white supremists. They tend to congregate (or perhaps tabernacle) in little enclaves in very undeveloped areas. While spending a late night four wheeling thru the bush one time, we broke into a clearing with a bucnch of shacks and army style barracks lit up as bright as the visible surface of the full Moon, with white power signs all over. SHIT! Let’s get out of here! So we did. One of the rumors that continues to persist in these here parts was that Tim McVeigh was associated with Elohim City, a well known and somewhat feared Oklahoma White Supremist and ultra militant fundie “Christian” group. So, maybe he didn’t want his kookiness to be associated with that stufff. In the OKC local news, his interview made him look all sorts of stupid, which he might be, but I don’t know him, I’ve just seen his silly ad. ---

\ He’s offering a thousand clams for a Sweet Young Thing to be his wife; so, who gets the money? If he’s offering it to the SYT, once they’re married the money will be a joint asset anyway, so why bother. If he’s offering this to the girl’s parents, we’re into a whole new level of skeevitude.
