I Was Swindled Out Of $1000 Dollars

[Joe]

The live album of the Joe Aid concert is coming together nicely. Can anyone come up with a title and a sleeve design? (and if you are capable of whipping up an album cover you should be doing the sketch for Joe first or - flash - the cover can be the sketched portrait of IG!).

Yes the album cover is MC IG!

Where are the BAexpat artists? Why do we only have lyricists?

We should take the Francisco there in order to get the pope's blessing

I don't know this place is full of pro-bidet snobs with malfunctioning Apple devices, probably life coaches and chiropractors the lot of them.

Prospective album title:
A Portrait of the con-artist as a young man

If that was me, I wouldn't have said it. After all some of us even know where to withdraw USD in Bolivia so talk about gambling places (I know many of them here although I just play hold'em tournaments). There are not that many places where you can play poker 5.000 km around, so he can be found quite easily within the next months except if he goes further (another continent). If someone finds him in a poker room, better send a private message to Joe first.

This is a song about the car breaking down that very time you put the hosepipe in the exhaust. I'd like to dedicate this song to my sweet baby. This is a song called 'The green green notes of home' or 'Today I tried to get everything done and I still failed' (music - Violent Femmes)

Do you like American dollars? I like American Dollars
Don't you like American dollars, baby?

I want you to XOOM me, Ben Franklin's arms around me.
I want you to XOOM me soon, baby...
Did you not get enough hugs? I didn't get too many hugs.
My childhood was devoid of hugs, too, baby...

You swiped my bucks and now I'm broke,
But every time I look at iPads or coke, it reminds me of you.
It reminds me of you... ooh-ooh-ooh.

I need a ride to Punta del Este, would you be my bestie?
No Argie will give me dollars here, baby...
They couldn't get American dollars, they never saw American dollars.
They didn't know Joe's dollars were IG's goal, baby...

You ran off too soon, I arrived too late,
But every time I look at that River Plate, it reminds me of me.
It reminds me of me...

Do you like American dollars? We like American dollars.
I like American dollars... Baby.
Do you like Zimbabwe dollars? We like all kinds of dollars.
But I like American dollars best... baby.

You ran off too soon, and I arrived too late,
But every time I look in that River Plate, it reminds me of me...

Back in the day, the Missus and I used to take bets on what each new thread would end up talking about: threads on Tango turning into debates on neoliberalism; threads on malbec turning into peanut butter wars... etc.

Nowadays, the betting's over because everybody knows how it will end: every single bloody thread gets turned into this braindead Ajo vs Steve catfight.

On the upside it means that I lose less money to my wife on those bets, but on the downside it has made the site alot less fun.

Bummer.

I happen to agree. It is a bummer.

What would you say if a member of the forum started replying to a great many of your posts with irrelevant comments and personal insults, thinking he was being funny?

You may have noticed that it even happened in the thread I started about finding interesting items on Mercado Libre, using a souvenir ash try to get in a dig about Ayn Rand and Medicare. He no longer mentions her by name, but that may not have be a matter of choice.

I think he may be frustrated. Apparently he never received the Ayn Rand "puff up" doll that was originally bequeathed to me.

I asked that it be sent to him and since then his Rand-rage has become much stronger.

Thanks so much for bringing the "catfight" into this thread.

please don't bring it to this thread too steve, it's all we've got left,

it used to be about the music, man

 

[sleslie23]

Writing lyrics is fine and dandy, but when are we forming the BAExpats band?

 

[semigoodlookin]

Oh man, just read this. You gave $1000 to someone who seems to gamble for a living? Oh shit, my bet would be your money is no longer being held by the guy.
