I was shocked to see this being filmed near me but apparently it is a real thing. It even has Bill Bellamy in it.
Here’s what happened when I responded. The guy’s name was Tony.
Me:
Hi,
I saw this listing on Craig’s Zone and wanted a little bit more info. I’m very good with social medias and I would love to know more about the project.
Sincerely Yours,
Milbo Pierce
Tony:
im actually developing a social media site whos functionality does something nobody is doin. i need to be put in the right circles to get investors an jus to get in that arena. i have a developer who’s currently workin on the site with me
Me:
That sounds cool as shit, man. What is the new thing that nobody else is doing? I have a few connects up that way but they are going to want to see some prototypes or something. Do you have an address where I can check it out?
Tony:
no we are workin gon a demo now.. we dont want to talk about it.. we are putting together a prototype that allows you to long on. and interect in a demo setting and perform the niche im talkin about. so it will take a while for the code an things to be written by my developer says we can have a small scale prototype up in a month. im just doing my homework early so when we have the product i wont scramble. guaranteed. if u are a social networker, this will be the best. you will fall in love. this is geared 100% to the social networker what participates in most of the social networking options. and this site will enhance it by 50% at the least
Me:
Ok, if you don’t have any working demo right now, investors will still be eager to work with you if you have had some successful ventures in the past. Have you worked on any notable projects or run any successful businesses? Investors like the guys at Sterling Cooper Draper & Price will want to see a good track record before taking the plunge.
Tony:
im in the music industry. been for 1 years.. my developer partner has several sites they have developed for years, and has a business making social networking sites for various companies. the over 20 years of my developers business life in this arena and the actual product at the same time approaching the investors i think would be the perfect storm. i dont really want to go around talking about the idea with now working demo. i believe this is the next level, and i want bidders basically. they will see the product and want it if they have interest in social media. if u can be patient i have no problem in getting with you an bring you on as a partner if your able to secure your end and make a triangle “idea-developer-social media insider. you secure the contacts and investors
Me:
I’m going to have to pass. I want to focus only on social media 3.0 projects and this sounds more like a social media 2.0 project. Thanks for your time.
Tony:
i did not clarify which. but ok!
Saw this on Venice Beach. I’m not sure if the red blood was part of the original piece or something that was added later.

That time I analyzed my female Facebook friends by appearance
I took all the female friends on my facebook list, removed the 5 family members and 4 fake profiles and was left with 193 different ladies. I then, objectively as possible (based on physical appearance alone…no points for being nice), rated each girl on a scale from 1-10. PS, this is not graded on a curve and there are no 10s cause that shit is just unreasonable.
Results:
- 6
- 3
- 13
- 32
- 22
- 56
- 34
- 19
- 8
- 0
Here’s a cute little bar graph showing the distribution:
The average turned out to be 5.6 with a standard deviation of 1.8. I was expecting to see the average come out around 5 and was surprised to see it this high.
Going further
I decided to go a step further and place each lady into one of four groups. Based on what I knew of that female (which in some cases was limited to minimal Facebook interaction) I determined the maximum level of relationship I would ever be willing attempt with that female (disregarding all current roadblocks including marital status or sexual orientation of said female). The 4 groupings are self explanatory:
- Acquaintance - For someone I prefer as a Facebook Friend at the most. These ladies are the one I avoid in person interaction with.
- Friend - Platonic friend, you know what that means so don’t play dumb.
- Datable - I only use this term because I felt cheesy putting “hittable” on an excel chart but I really mean hittable.
- Girlfriend Material - This is the highest rating and needs no further explanation. This is also known as “super hittable.”
The chart:
Here are the raw numbers:
By Race
I broke it down even further by race. I used Asian, Black, White and Hispanic as my groups…yes I know that there are a whole lot of generalizations there but I don’t really have the time to sit there and get more granular than that. You’ll just have to live with it. Here are the ratings and then by race:
And classifications:
Takeaways:
- I am slightly more attracted to the Asian and Hispanic girls on my list than I am to black and white girls on my list.
- When it comes to girlfriends, the late Crief’s rule of 7 or better holds true for me.
- If I think you are ugly, I probably wouldn’t mind not being your friend.
- The proportion of gf material level girls across all races was fairly close, with a slight edge to Asians and Hispanics.
- I prefer being friends with Black and Hispanic girls on my list over the White and Asian girls. *Note: the Asian portion of my friend list has a large percentage that actually live in Asia which limits my ability to interact with them and had a strong influence on their classification.
*All of these images were hosted at Imgur. It is the baddest ass image host that you should be using.

1. My ad was posted in Los Angeles and no one in L.A. says “top of the day”. Thats like some shit from an old British movie. In reality, people just ask about the item, they do not bother with a greeting at all. 2. You asked if the “item” was still for sale. No one legit would refer to it as an item. That is a very generic word that only someone who is mass emailing lists without actually looking at them would use. Also, people that actually want the phone don’t ask this question. They usually ask if I would accept a lower price, ask what time I can meet with them or some other specific question about the phone. 3. Also, you used the phrase “kindly get back to me”. The only people i have ever heard use the word kindly are people that try to scam me out of money on craigslist and Frank Fontaine from the Xbox game Bioshock. No one here talks like that.

I don’t know why employees at retail stores bother to have name tags. Has anyone ever looked at it and then addressed them by their first name? I don’t want to know your name, i barely want to talk to you. I just want to tell you what I need and then move the fuck on with my life.
I love it when a scam artist is creative.
I was selling a phone on Craigslist a few months ago and was contact by an obvious scammer. I decided to waste some of his time as best I could.

I am interested but I do not use paypal because of their political stance on certain issues. Can you send me a money order or maybe cash through western union?

How does it work? It sounds like escrow. If you want to use an escrow service (escrow.com) thats cool too. Let me know if that sounds better.

I haven’t had any experience with xoom. How about we just wait till you get back from London and you can meet up with me and give me cash for the phone? That way you can test it out to see if you like it first.

Relationship Advice: Teen Sites and Marriage
Dear Mike Rhoads, I’ve searched the archives and can’t locate any replies to this apparently very common malady: online, hard-core porn usage by husbands. I understand men are visual. I get that. I don’t get the three- to four-times-a-week frequency, and the “teen” sites he goes to. My husband is 60 and I’m 53. We rarely have sex anymore and he says it’s because I’m a nag and unpleasant. He’s right about that. I can’t seem to adjust to this. Any insight would be helpful. — Confidential
Dear Unpleasant,
You’re very old and you are lucky his interest in you has lasted this long. Soon, society as a whole will have lost interest you. I suggest you cut your losses and move to a foreign country where the locals will interpret your former residence in a G8 nation as sexual attractiveness. At the very least, stop nagging him. At 60, he has probably realized how close the end of his life is and wants to enjoy his final years. You should try to do the same.

How to register a deleting domain name
So I threw a site together that displays a list of domains that are dropping every day (scoratic). A friend of mine was asked me why he was unable to actually register some of the domains that show up on the list. After typing up a rather wordy answer I realized that it would have been great it someone could have explained this to me a year ago. Here it is verbatim:
For .coms and .nets, the actual deletions take place between 10am-noon pacific on the day they are listed on Scoratic. Godaddy has 2 Whois records, the first one is cached, click through to the “underlying registry data” to see a more real time record.
The problem is for these high value dropping domains, people use backorder services, godaddy, snapnames and namejet (which is owned by the demand media and where they make the bulk of their money). These services have networks of registrars that will just ping the ICANN servers nonstop around domain deletion time. I would be shocked if the domain was actually free for any more than 1 half of 1 second. You just can’t compete with them by hand. The scoratic list is more useful if you are either looking for second and third tier domain to try to register by hand or you are looking for a name to do an automated backorder on.
Backordering works like this, If I put a back order on a domain on snapnames or namejet (godaddy is trash). They will attempt to capture my domain with their army of servers. If they are successful and I was the only person to put a backorder on the domain then I get it for the minimum price (60-70 dollars depending on which service you use). If more than 1 person put a backorder down then it becomes an auction between all who put money down prior to the deletion, domain will be transferred to the highest bidder after a few days. If the service does not successfully capture the deleted domain, you are not charged anything.
A couple of tips:
1. Don’t back order anything you don’t think is worth at least 60-70 dollars to you.
2. Since you only pay if you win, you might as well place a backorder on all of the good services (snapnames.com, namejet.com, pool.com). No harm, I’ve found that snapnames or namejet usually win the domain.
3. If you do end up in an auction, usually there is no activity until the last 5 minutes when someone tries to snipe it. Keep an eye on the end time of the auction and be ready for it.
Hope this helps
