firefighter 137 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I really like stories of Notorious Norbert from the Freak Brothers cartoons. Especially when they happen in reallife today and Norbert loses as in the old cartoons or ridicules himself:A friend wrote me that in some states in they are still hunting us like that TODAY. He wrote in a big US weed forum I will not name here but he said after a very short time they became angry with him and he attracted the heat especially because of his dutch IP adress. So they blocked his pic upload in this forum and he began to ask why is that and pls check blabla. Nothing happened but after some weeks they told him in the open: hey man, no problem, just use your direct internet line without any stealth technique or proxy of any kind so we can identify your IPadress. THEN we will allow you to upload pics again!!!!! Isn't that nice"!? Helping the poor guy with his evil proxy.....But that is not all. At the very same day he got a PM from a "neighbouring english speaking country to Holland" in that forum from a guy he never heard before of asking him to pubish his home adress and if he would do that he would get a FREE package of an expensive fertilzer/ package delivered to his home in Holland!! I do not have to say he was also followed into other forums in Holland i.e. by nice US-hippies with extraordinary 70's hippie slang ;-))Isn't that nice? Gilbert Shelton couldn't have writen the plot better for his cartoons.....but it happens today friends, in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
