Several months ago I started an advertising section on the site to help pay bills. Thankfully I now have a good group of sponsors. Their stuff is on the right over there. Check it out!
By the way if you have a blog or product or service to promote, go ahead and click the advertising link on the right on up top.
Today I received, to date, my favorite advertising request ever.
Here it is in it’s entirety…
From: <xxxxxxx@aol.com>
Subject: Advertising Request
Message Body:
I’m a nomad traveler mostly Europe including Paris,Mont Blanc, Chamonix and more. I write about teaching in poor areas schools of Bushwick, Brooklyn, where drugs and destruction run rampant, about vegetarianism, and old country fig and blackberry wines. About my blood connection to Vampire Dracu, and I’m about to publish memoirs from the bloody hills of Transilvania, on dark waves of the Danubius a book called Nobody’s Child.

I was, no… am. I am, speechless. None of these words made any bit of sense to me, yet I suspected there was brilliance in the patterns, like that freak from A Beautiful Mind. I really didn’t know what to do with it. So I did what I do best.

Hi xxxxxx!
As a vampire hunter (I’ve killed four in the past quarter), I hope I do not invoke your ire. Please accept my apologies and if the filthy creatures were tied to your bloodline, I beg forgiveness. I also pulled out their fangs with pliers to sell on Ebay. Got $50!
I am also a connoisseur of fig wine. My friends goof on me for drinking what they call “pussy beer” but they don’t have a mature palette like us.
Nobody’s Child is my favorite Aerosmith song. Oh wait, that was Nobody’s Fault. Ignore.
Sorry, I’m getting off-topic.
My rates are xxxxx per month for a text ad on the right column of every page of my site. You’ll write a short description, and we’ll get it up!
Thank you and I look forward to getting you some traffic!

I sent the initial message to my girlfriend to see what she could make of it. I privately emailed her, “God I hope she becomes a sponsor!” Jessica simply replied:
I would click to her site for sure.
A few hours later I got this reply. Funny and lucid, I see now that the first message was more humor than crazy.

Thank you for your prompt response, fig wine association must be from the Italian figa which is p…y. I’ll let you know about advertising soon. Until then enjoy the hunt.

I really don’t have anything else to say. Just one thing, actually. I love you readers. Please keep being yourselves. And comment on posts so we can all learn how batty you are.

F*CK YEAH!!!!
It is nice to know the batshit crazy thing I have been rocking for years is FINALLY getting some love and appreciation. Gratzi, my friend, gratzi.
D.J. Paris says:
Um… well, the thing is…. your crazy is… hmm… troubling. Your family has asked me to speak to you privately.

capronstrings says:
Consider me cracked up, at least more than I was before. Thanks. I needed that.
D.J. Paris says:
@capronstrings Forgive me for being gross, but each time I see your username I instantly see it as “tamponstrings” – and then I promptly retch.
