I am Jack's coffee spraying over my computer screen!

Excellent post....sir!

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Some popular culture reference I must be missing?

Oh yeah!

I'd tell you.....but the first rule is that I can't talk about it! And the second rule is that I can't talk about it!

AAH! Yes, I seeeee...........


Your name by any chance wouldn't be Robert Paulson, would it?

Do you realize that I live with these gullible knotheads?

I've been trying very hard to keep this as a "what-if" scenario. But I can't anymore. I just realized I probably know some of the people who believed the ad and took the stuff. This isn't a large community, and the horse community is pretty small, as well. The sad part is that many people are still keeping the stuff, even though the news has gone out that it was a hoax. Yeech, I feel like I need a shower all of a sudden.

That said, I still think my original course of action would be the same. Pick a looter and tie him to the tree in front of my house. A zip-tie here, and a zip-tie there, and he'll be a nice scarecrow for the other looters.

I don't get the sense that it was a mob-thing, more of a "Free Garage Sale" mentality.

I suppose that hacking off his head and sticking it on a pike would attract flies.
