Question on value and year?????
 
Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>well guys, as of 10 minutes ago, i was drinking a beer and laughing at the brilliance of such a trick...<br /><br />BUT, i decided to pick up the phone and call Barry, he actually is swearing to me that his story is very true. He did have his friend visit this women about 2 hours ago. her 2 brothers were with her, so apparently she was not concerned about a stranger coming over. Barry said he offered the women an undisclosed 5-figure amount, she jumped at (perfectly happy with that amount), and it is being driven up to barry within 2 days.<br /><br />i was obviously extremely sceptical, given the fact that today is april 1st, but i know barry and he is a man of his word.<br /><br />can't wait to see what SGC says...<br /><br />good luck barry!

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>All right the jig is up!<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/junkforumimages/huge/april%20fools%20copy_1.jpg"><br /><br /><br />Joe D and I thought with all the board bickering and gloom and doom of late. We would have some fun on April Fools, for those of you had a good laugh kudos, that was our plan. Those of you, who helped out, even bigger thanks. Those of you who didn’t get it sorry, relax its April Fools…<br /><br />Special hats off detective work for Steve for figuring out the “36657” equals “Fools”. Another clue is the email address “bonmot” is another term for a joke…abonmot@Comcast.net<br /><br />As for the fictional girls last name, it’s a real persons name images were taken from an Image event album, so the fact that you can twist “Parkerqus” into “Sucker Crap” is just an unfortunate thing for that newly married couple who ever they may be?<br /><br />And for all the folks who think that nobody would be stupid enough to believe it, you might be surprised of the emails that “little ol’ April” (me) have in the newly created inbox. <br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/junkforumimages/small/Jackson_1.jpg"> <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/junkforumimages/small/jackname.jpg"><br /><br />Big hats off to Leon for playing along, thanks moderator dude!<br /><br />And a super special thanks goes out to Barry Sloate, out of the many emails that had lack luster offers. Barry was the only one to be up front and honest with “April”, that’s when we decided to bring him in on the deal. A round of web applause for Barry.<br /><br /><br />Thanks, and I and the rest of us hope you at least had a good laugh.....

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>My memory is a little hazy on this, but now that I think about it, maybe I didn't speak to April this morning. I must have confused her with somebody else.<br /><br />We were trying to have some fun, and I enjoyed making up that little tale- it was like writing a short story- but it kind of backfired, I guess.<br /><br />I promise to lie only on April 1st and tell the truth on all other days.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Reminds me of the Married With Children episode where Bud Bundy got a Valentines<br />card signed by a girl named April May June. He was suspicious it might be a <br />joke as April, May and June were all words Kelly knew.

This seems like a perfect day to bump one of the best threads ever - excellent re-read (or first read for anyone not around at the time!)....
