The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 17 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
I’m not quite sure what it is that causes me to want to have fun with these fools. But another piece of spam offering money was able to wiggle its way through not one, but two spam filters. It must be real! So I’m going to have some fun again. Although this time I going to put some distance between him and me. For the purposes of this game, my name is Ron Burgundy. I live at 6124 Maple Street, Los Angeles, California, 90021. My email for this fun will be rburg@email.com. Born 3/14/1970. Let the games begin.
Here’s the original email:
