Stay Out of L.A. on October 26th

Stay out of L.A. on October 26th (or 27th… or 28th…)

I have been recently concerned over a recent “rumor” that has been circulating around Los Angeles. A friend of mine told me the recent account of his close friend : He told me that this girl had lived across the street from a middle eastern guy for quite some time and became friendly with him. Just before the Sept 11th events…she received, I believe, an envelope containing $3000 and a letter saying to stay away from New York (and the scarier part), NOT to be in Los Angeles on the 26, 27, and 28 of October. She didnt quite understand the motive behind the letter and went to his place only to find it completely empty. She contacted the police and FBI, but neither I, nor my friend has heard anything more about this and the girl swears it to be true.

Well, I didn’t blow up last night. Not planning on blowing up this weekend either. But it sure would be nice if someone gave me three kilobucks!

Be careful, they’re serious about the hoax spreading and falsified terrorist information and terrorist acts. This one sounds like that one about that girl who was dating the Afghani who alluded to something similar.

Good grief. I’ve heard this one about London, Boston, Sydney and now LA. It’s always a Middle Eastern stranger thankful for the return of his wallet, a ‘friend’ who works in intelligence or the police force or a letter found on public transport. It was going to be in London on the week after 11 Sept, and on 7 Oct, and I’m sure it’ll be guaranteed to happen again soon enough.

The cash would be nice, mind.

OMYGOD! I’m STILL ALIVE!!! Say, you don’t think this might have been a hoax, do you?

It’s too bad no one has sent this e-mail to me. I so look forward to replying to everyone on the distribution list that they should not believe this stuff.

Wait - the “terrorist” is suposed to be “Thankful for the return of his wallet”?!?
Her: Here’s your wallet, neighbor of middle-eastern descent.

Him: Thank you, pagan infidel whore of Babylon. Now I will jeopardize the will of Allah and the work of hundreds of people for three years in gratitude for returning my fake IDs and seed money!

Her: You’re welcome.
Give me a break.

Why are you bringing this up now? Wait a year.

You could have really lived on the edge and gone to a shopping mall on October 27th in L.A.!

Well, here it is. October 29th. This weekend I was not blow up, infected with ebola, shot, or anything else. (I did have a nice nap for an hour on Saturday and Sunday though.)

No Middle Eastern people tried to give me three thousand simoleons because they liked me and wanted me to get out of town.

So if anyone reads this and thinks there is anything to those damned chain letters, you now have a direct source you can point to and say, “Maybe these things aren’t for real after all!”

But if you add to that, “But I’ll send it to everyone in my address book because you never know…” I’ll have to kick you in the nads.

Johnny,

I don’t know about you, but I was looking for some speakers for my home theater. I went to the local Best Buy but they were out of them, so we called around and they found astor with one in stock. SO I hopped in my car and I find out it has just been sold. In fact as I walk I see the dude who bought them. Bugger! But the scary part…it was one of the stores IN L.A.! I wish I had seen this warning to stay out of L.A. I wouldn’t have wasted all that time.
