Dynamic Figure

This is a biggie - the Grand-Daddy of the Repeat Offenders!!!! If you're a woman with a personal ad, watch out for this one. This "exact" copy was in response to Jen's Ad, but everyone seems to have gotten this...

Subject: the zen poet Basho once said...

--- that a flute with no holes is not a flute, and a donut with no hole is a danish I saw your ad and had to reply.... thought we might click My Vitals: 32 single, 6' 1" feet tall, never married, no kids, college educated - grad degree, well read, well travled and taken by your ad. attached is a recent photo... and a little background info :)

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been know to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for refugees, I write award winning poetry, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I gamble for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike tuba playing. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook 30 minute brownies in 20 minutes. I am an expert in painting, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Cubs, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When Im bored, I build large suspension bridges in my back yard. I enjoy urban landscaping. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I dont perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been lucky caller number nine and hit a Royal Flush. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal force demonstration. I bat .650. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dinning room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep its in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life, but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and toaster oven. I breed prizewinning showdogs. I have won bar fights in Texas, bullfights in Pamplona, cliff diving competitions in Acapulco, and golf tournaments in Pebble Beach. I have played Hamlet, I have performed surgery and I channel Elvis when singing Kareoke.

Jen: I began reading this with the usual blase attitude expecting the "I like sunsets and walks on the beach"...I mean, anyone who uses a subject line about the ancient Chinese poet Basho must be all about that, right?

I was very surprised--it was a really genuinely funny letter, but sadly, he never got to the point of who he really was! I feel like he got my attention, kept me reading, but then never delivered.

Lorina: Oh... Jen! This guys is WORSE than a repeat offender -- he's a plagarist!

This was originally written as some guy's essay for a college entrance exam, and a bunch of pathetic guys have stolen it to use it as their personal ad or ad response.

I got it once -- I wrote back to the guy (didn't know it was lifted from elsewhere) and said, "This is great! Please tell me you wrote this after reading my ad. Even if you have to lie to me... I hope this isn't a copy & paste respose you send to everyone!"

I never heard from him.

Cindy got it already. One of the other gals who posts on the discussion board got it, and this girl who sometimes posts on the boards, Jackie - got it TWICE from two different guys!

Here's the ORIGINAL essay:
