So apparently there’s this scam going on where people are attempting to buy things for a friend/relative and I’m assuming that they will say that they never received the item and therefor, end up not paying for it.

Pablo’s response to someone’s request to purchase his iPod Road Trip:

Dear Mother Jones,

Unfortunately, next week I will be on the moon on a mission to help save the endangered lunar dragon. Sadly my rocket’s cell phone is not currently working and my access to the internet is very poor this time of year due to meteor showers.

The week after that I will perhaps still have the item, so please let me know if you are still interested in purchasing it for your son in Africa, I’d be happy to mail it to you once my payment has arrived — sorry I’d don’t accept storm-pay Office, but would happily accept UNICEF tokens. As a matter a fact I think the African Swallows begin their migration this time of year and arrive in W Africa in mid August — I could send the item tied to their legs.

Cheers
