And why not, not too many members know each other.


OK, a white lie will do if u are too shy.



I once ate bread and butter only for a week, Was in Halifax with no one to call.
 
Although I do not partake in the hobby I do enjoy reading the board including the reviews. I do feel guilty and rest assured my darling wife knows full well I do and she's ok with it provided I don't attempt to experiment in the actual hobby aspect of the board.
 
I like watching men's 2x2 outdoor volleyball.

No not homo, they are just better than the women's.
 
I'm twenty days older than the date of birth shown on my Ontario Birth Certificate, but it's completely legal. Both dates are in the same calendar month, so the error won't affect things like government pensions.

A Judge signed a legal document that had a typing error on it, so even though the information is incorrect, legally it is correct, unless I go through the hassle of trying to get that changed. I like the incorrect date of birth more than the correct one, so I just let it go.
 
I made a lot of money in college, ghost writing term papers for other students. It was always for courses I had already taken. There was no plagiarism involved; I just wrote a brand new paper for each student who hired me.

I would have them show me a few samples of other work that they had written, to get an idea of how they constructed sentences, and what their vocabulary was like, and I would write the paper, handwritten, and they would copy it, in their own handwriting. I'd get $20, for about 1½ hours work, and that was good money, in the late 1970's.

Most of my customers were on the football team. I'd give them a briefing about what the book was about, and tell them what their opinions were going to be. I would guarantee them a grade of around B-. I didn't write A level papers for anyone but myself.

Since the paper was always in the student's own handwriting, and he knew what he was submitting, none of the teachers ever caught on. My customers referred other customers to me, but they didn't talk about it to other people. I got my original paper back, when the guy had finished copying it, so I could destroy it. I'd even throw in a few spelling mistakes and grammar errors, to make the papers seem authentic. I always sat with the guy who was copying my work, so there was no chance for a paper trail to lead back to me. I never used any words that the customer didn't understand.

My friends didn't understand why all of the jocks treated me with respect, but didn't pay them any notice. I usually used the term paper money to buy pitchers of beer for my friends, and they would pay for mine, when I didn't have money. Sometimes we'd get an extra pitcher, and not be charged, because the assistant bar keeper had a younger brother, who was on the football team, and the extra pitcher wasn't coming out of his pocket. Accounting for draft beer is pretty lax; there was a lot of 'spillage'.

Good for you if it is all true.

It is. If you look in my posting history, you can see that I write in a number of different styles, very naturally. It's reasonable to assume that a college student with this talent would use it profitably, and also reasonable to assume that B- term papers would be worth $20 to college football players, in 1978-79 money.

Your 'skeptical' emoticon is personally insulting.

Bob,

I think he was more considering what you said and complimenting you on it.

But if he does the math you said you are 53 years old so in 1978 you would have been 16.
You said you only wrote papers for others in classes you already took. Implying you were 15 when you entered University.
You have to admit that is not unheard of, but it is unusual.
 
Perhaps Bobby wrote them as a senior and entered college when he was 12? Emoticon on!
