This is a question Conned

swiftyisNOTevil writes, "I have recently become obsessed with the BBC Three show 'The Real Hustle' - personally, I think of it as a 'How To' show for aspiring con artists."

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

stop me if you Heard It All B-4
Do the english understand any dif tween a "Con" -
(connaivance performed upon the unwilling
and uninformed for gain)
and "sophmoric alcoholic pranking"
(done for half-wit laffs among incest survivors)?

Telephone tomfoolery is coming-of-age classic.
Not a way to take it easy.

Texting friends anon does not criminals earn their keep.

Thugs, louts, shoplifts, brawlers and clip joints-
these are your 'classless' cut of crime.

A ConMan is first a liar - and so convincing.
If first-class, flawless as a pimp.
But he's safe, he's conservative,
and more: your Very Friend.you want to trust- and you'll never fear.
For his soul has stolen off.

But more important with every Con is the revelation
Good will for fellowman must be lost for you.
Thus "The Mark" they mention is innocence.
& But If
Today we have people posing as "X" and everything online...
Do these truly skate above any station -
Could this cause any threat to capital commerce at the nation?

And should the reporter get off -
get caught -
and get away- ???

Over here I think we'd call that "dalliance".
Something men in millions will pay willingly.
Rather Business As Usual over high-class hold-up.

Anyone see where we're headed?
Con's costly -And clever. Non de cliche.
ConMan likes clean living too.
Do we maybe just breed these tougher out west?

after all:
The Con our man has run on y'all-
it's of the 'world class'.
But:
Should it occur ever to you brils, already:
everything online's possibly a lie ...

It's the lie! Don't believe this.

your fields may remain evergreen

WTF?
Wow, this is so uncomprehensible it verges on the profound.

Either that or it's utter nonsense

I really can't decide...

Do the americans understand
any dif tween a "QOTW answer" -
(a continuous prose produced on the site of b3ta with humourous intent)
and "annoying wank pseudo-poetic bollocks"
(done for reasons only the mad can comprehend)

Writing in stupid paragraphs
With archaic language and bad
grammar
and
stupid
sentence structures which bare
no connection to the lines they
are written on
does not make you clever

And targetting an entire nation does not friends you make; nor does raping syntax writing good end up with.

As for your textual bumming of the so-called "ConMan"
with his unnecessary capital letters
Methinks thou should stop watching so much TV
and realise that real conmen are not your "Very Friend"
nor anything like they are on the box
But are cunts looking to screw people over
Because they're too lazy to work for a living
or just cunts.
Either way.
None of them are Leo DiCaprio.

Did it ever occur to you
That your patronising attempt at pitying us through metaphor and imagery
Belongs in the "Teenage Poetry" QOTW
Because it comes off like a 14 year old
Wanking over Ville Valo
Whilst trying to slit your wrists with your biro

And for fuck's sake
Never use "y'all"
In an attempt at poetry
I mean seriously
Come on now


That is all.

um
the "con" is short for confidence man/confidence trick.

Hmm
I'm sure I got an email with that post in the subject header in my junkmail which turned out to be an advert for "Piagra".
