 -=> Quoting Jim Weller to Michael Loo <=-

 ML> Microsoft promotion Team in Nigeria, West Africa.

 JW> Gee what are the odds of two guys in the same Echo both winning the
 JW> same lottery?

Now, boys, no fighting!  You can both share the 'benefits'.

 JW> My latest favourites are a US marine sergeant in Afghanistan selling
 JW> heroin and cocaine (on sale- buy 9 grams and get the 10th one free)
 JW> and Tomahawk missiles (serious inquiries only) and a lady who
 JW> recommends contacting a certain London, England lawyer if you've
 JW> already been ripped off by a Nigerian scammer... for a small fee he
 JW> will help you get a refund of 90% of your losses from the Nigerian
 JW> Federal Government Foreign Investor Settlement Fund.

 JW> I myself plan to set up a consulting business for the victims of
 JW> dishonest British lawyers. 

When Kevin was kicked out of his former residence, and advertised for
a new place, he was offered an apartment in Adelaide purportedly owned
by a London-based missionary with a Nigerian email address to send the
advance rent and bond to.  That seemed to be a fairly common scam.

 JW> On another note My Beloved has just returned from a short trip to
 JW> Alberta to visit g'kids, bearing gifts.

I hope that was an enjoyable reunion, and that Roslind didn't find
out about her.   (Oh.  Sorry, I thought....)

 JW> She acquired another bottle of Leopard Frog 2004 Kiss & Tell,
 JW> perhaps the last one in Alberta, that the store manager in Fort
 JW> McMurray set aside at Raine's request (they are old high school
 JW> friends and Raine works there part-time). Apparently the LF guy is
 JW> an expat Canadian living in South Africa who makes a handful of
 JW> varieties 5 to 16 barrels at a time. He sells his product through a
 JW> short list of wine merchants, 6 in Canada, one in each province
 JW> between Quebec and B.C. plus one each in New York and one in L.A.

Is there any connection between the Leopard Frog and the French
"Arrogant Frog", who makes cheap, but drinkable wines.

 JW> The Alberta distributor sells to one retail outlet each in Calgary
 JW> and Fort McMurray, the two Alberta cities with the highest
 JW> disposable personal income.

 JW> She also picked up one bottle of another Leopard Frog wine labeled
 JW> "Tribe".

 JW> Rhonda, the liquor store manager threw in a bottle of one of her own
 JW> favourites, something called Hpnotiq, which is blue and appears to be
 JW> a fruited vodka, a real chick sort of trendy club drink.

I don't think I would follow her recommendations if buying wine for a
special occasion.

 JW> Also a bottle White Owl whisky which is a whisky blanc but aged in
 JW> barrels and then filtered to clear, not raw fresh from the still. It
 JW> sounds like a cross between a mild whisky on training wheels and
 JW> vodka with a strong grain bouquet. It's a wheat not a barley spirit,
 JW> made in Alberta.

 JW> More to follow as they get opened and tasted.

 JW> ... Npnotiq possible The Most Lamentable Booze Trend of the decade.

I believe you.
