I heard that the bogeyman will come and he will harass you like the paparazzi if you post your real name on the internet.
So, I do not post my real name.

That said, it is in my profile, and it is public, so people can look it up if they want. But, the bogeyman doesn't know how to view profiles, so I am safe!


Now send me $20 or I will post it here!!! ;)

I am actually prince of Nigeria.
I have money order, but I got for $1000 and no make smaller ones. I send you money order. You send back to me $900. You keep $80 for fee and then get $20 to protect my name. Bless you. Please supply address.

lol, I just want to apologize for laughing at your last name. I'm so sorry.

As I have posted before:
$50 for anyone who can come up with something that I didn't hear by the 5th grade.

Not afraid, just perhaps a little reluctant unless it's required (paypal, ebay, online ordering). As far as I can tell myself, my father and a few members of his side of the family are the only people in the US with my last name :confused:

Add my kids and I an in the same boat. Probably less than a dozen people in the US with my last name.
