Can anyone guess who's been badgering the poor seller of this nicely boxed P4 ? Check the questions at the bottom of the page !

Still, I suppose it works some of the time. I guess it's like pestering women.........if you can handle all the knockbacks, eventually someone will succumb !

Yeah, he's got 25% of the threads at his new home. :lol: Reminds me of the "Boll Weevil" song.

The Boll Weevil Song

Words and Music: by Brook Benton and Clyde Otis

Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil. Now, some of you may not know, but a boll weevil is an insect. And he's found mostly where cotton grows. Now, where he comes from, heh, nobody really knows. But this is the way the story goes.
The farmer said to the boll weevil "I see you're on the square." Boll weevil said to the farmer, "Say yep! My whole darn family's here."
We gotta have a home, gotta have a home.

The farmer said to the boll weevil, "Say, why do you pick my farm?" The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said, "We ain't gonna do ya much harm."
We're looking for a ho-o-o-o-o,-o-o-o, -o-o-o, o-o-ome.
And the boll weevil spotted him a lightning bug. He said, "Hey, I'd like to make a trade with you. But, ya see if I was a lightning bug, I'd search the whole night through."
Searchin' for a home, I'd have me plenty of home.
And the boll weevil called the farmer, 'n' he said, "Ya better sell your old machines, 'cause when I'm through with your cotton, heh, you can't even buy gasoline."
I'm gonna stake me a home, gotta have a home.
And the boll weevil said to the farmer, said, "Farmer, I'd like to wish you well." Farmer said to the boll weevil, "Yeah, an' I wish that you were in ...."
Lookin' for a home, lookin' for a home.
Ahh, you have a home all right, you have a home. A real hot home, ahhh...

The guy's presence ANYWHERE presents a bit of a "Kobayashi Maru" for management - credibility vs. despotism. "...a Starfleet training exercise designed to test the character of cadets in the command track at Starfleet Academy."

"Kobayashi Maru"

Also known as the 'no win situation'....... that sums it up pretty nicely. Don't do business with the pigeon ....

I have been following the tale of the pigeon through many of the posts and threads here, for some time. I have even had the misfortune of having to deal with him over a sale. I almost became a victim of his swoop and poop tactics when he asked me to lie about the true sale value of the watch when shipping it. That's where I drew the line. I flat out told him I wasn't going to falsify a government document for him. He became very unpleasant at that point and that's where the contact ended. I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I read the post identifying his aliases he uses. I have noticed a couple of pulsars disappeared from Ebay before the end of their auctions. I have a hunch he may have had something to do with that too.
