More Cowbell

“Greet­ings and love to you in the name of the most high God, from my beloved coun­try Nige­ria.” Oh brother. Ever get one of these annoy­ing scam let­ters in your inbox? Basi­cally penned by crim­i­nals chas­ing quick cash and gullible cit­i­zens, they’re tech­ni­cally called 419 scams, as com­mon­place –and as low class — as Via­gra com­mer­cials on tele­vi­sion. Here’s one we’re bet­ting you haven’t read. Long-time blog­ger Justin, a med­ical stu­dent from Ohio, who authors the pop­u­lar More Cow­bell web­site took the lib­erty of turn­ing the tables. Niger­ian Blog­ging Scam is one of the fun­ni­est posts we’ve found. Writ­ten August 25, 2006, it is The Ris­ing Blogger’s Post of the Day and deserves recog­ni­tion, as does Justin, for jug­gling a very busy life with wit and intel­lect. It’s a great blog! Pay the good doc­tor a visit, won’t you?
