I'd stamp in the morning, I'd stamp in the evening, all over this land...

I'd put:

Begin the revolution!
Death to all non-Danish pastries!
Rise up against bear claws!

Unless this is some kind of SAT this-is-to-that test, those "similar deals" don't look that similar to me.

If I got that stamp, then someone would have to get this one:

return it?
Mysterio!

Just write the first few lines of novel followed by "continued on next rubber stamp."

Endless suspense and excitement.

jon,
That's pretty good actually.

posted by Divine_Wino 13 January | 12:37

okay, but you do know that's the whole point, right, D_W? Making people crazy trying to figure out how to return X-item and get that generous reward?

posted by taz 13 January | 12:38

I know taz, it made me so crazy I had to get another stamp made and stamp the book and put it back where I found it and return in a week and see what happened.

looks:
Reward!

Warbaby,
I've always want to do that. Very Masters of Atlantis.

Actually, Warbaby's is making me wonder... in light of the bunnypin conspiracy and all.

I got one of these right before my last week of high school. I got it just in time for yearbook signing, and stamped everyone's front page

CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU GRADUATED WITH
[MY NAME]

I thought people would find it kinda-funny-but-annoying, but to my surprise, everyone seemed to enjoy the stamp.

Can't find the pic, but I saw calling cards printed with:

The LAST CHANCE ads are a true story. They pop up occasionally in small papers. Large papers have been burned by them and filter them out. But it keeps happening. If you can get one in the Star, Enquirer, etc. the take is reportedly around $10K on average.

posted by warbaby 13 January | 14:33

It's not really fraud if you don't promise anything in return, right? Does the fact that you use the mail open up some broader more legalistic definition of fraud?

'cause there's a mailboxes etc down the street and got enough money for a stamp...

DON'T SELL
YOURSELF SHORT.
YOU SUCK
SHIT!

posted by Hugh Janus 13 January | 14:57

Nobody ever wants to prosecute fraud; so what do you care about whether it's legal or not? It's my understanding that this sort of scam is unprosecutable, whether it's legal or not. You'll never see a plaintiff come forward over $1.

posted by warbaby 13 January | 15:06

I was curious for the sake of curiosity only, my fraud days are long over. I enjoy scams in an abstract sense.

how about

CHEW

XD That's what *I'd* get.

The Big Con and Swindling and Selling

posted by warbaby 13 January | 18:48

I gots the big con but swindling and selling looks good, 6 used & new available from $69.07. Unless of course it is just a box of shredded phonebooks and there is the first and only lesson you need grasshopper.

I'll put it on my when in a weird used bookstore list.
