LATE-BREAKING BLOG GOSSIP

Did you hear?  Ryan is running a SCAM!  I don't know about YOU, but I'm not having anything more to do with her, EVER AGAIN!  (TMK, unless the evidence points toward you being an accessory -- no pun intended -- I'll still be friends with you.)

Really, I wish I were as smart as some people -- I would have thought of this sooner.  I'm so sad I did all that Dulaan knitting for a SCAMMER.  Seriously.

Apparently she is hoarding all those children's knits.  No word yet as to what she's doing with them all.  I've accused her of selling them on the street corner to fund her trip to Rhinebeck, but she denied it.  It could be that she's frogging them all so she can have yarn to knit herself a couple of bedspreads.  As soon as I get more details, I'll be sure to let you all know, ok? 

(Tongue planted firmly in cheek.  Go read her story to see wtf I'm going off about.)

Too bad this new pattern was just posted yesterday.   If Ryan weren't simply running a scam, I'd make this for Dulaan.

Still too angry to comment without long lines of very creative vernacular spewing forth. Some people are so....arrrggghh. What's next? CT isn't really in Mo-frickin-golia? He's just pulling pictures off of some website and posting them as his own? I bet that's not even him on a camel. It's some other guy. CT's not even a monk. I bet he lives in Idaho and wears polyester leisure suits and big gold chains. He calls everyone "toots".

What if it's all a lie? Where does it stop? Perhaps I'm not even a short, fat, chain-smoking crochet addict living in Texas. What if I'm some tall, brawny lumberjack in Canada who is too embarrassed to admit he knits and likes puppies?? Oy vei.

And how could our dear Blog Mistress be so obvious? Seriously....homeless people and orphans in Mongolia of all places. Pfffft. I'm going back to bed. I just can't face a world with people so ignorant.

Hope everyone has a great day! Oh and my apologies for ranting in your comments Ms. Norma. :o)

Snort. Some people. 'Nuff said.

Too bad I got suckered too. I have half a mind to march right over to Mongolia and take those warm snuggies back from those overpriviledged snots right now.

Harumpf. That Ryan.

If there truly are no homeless children in Mongolia then I guess countries like Canada and the US had better start trying to be more like them, eh?

I totally missed the part about who said this and where/what was said, but that's okay, I get my fill of ignorant twits as it is.

That said, the mental image of Ryan stealthily opening her trenchcoat to display a lining covered with black market neckwarmers and mittens just about made me pee with glee.

All I can say is thank God I'm a procrastinator from way back. My stash of 30+ Dulaan items is still sitting in my office.* And I'll be damned if I send them off to kids who I expect are all being sent to private schools in Switzerland.

My theory is that Frankie just started this whole thing in a pitiful bid to get attention.

* Admission: 14 of these items were knit by other people!

[Ryan]

Oh, Norma, just when I was going to bribe you with four pairs of tiny mittens, four tiny vests, and one eensy-weensy hat, you go and blow my cover. Well, there goes that yacht and my house in Monaco.

Oh that little boy is the cutest! I need to get off my duff and send my box out.

[Lana]

That's the scammiest scam of all I must say;p. I guess I'm just a sucker for a cute little boys face. At least I'm not alone :D!

[Bonnita]

Funding her trip to Rhinebeck....now why the fuck didn't I think of something like that!

Somehow, some way, YOU are responsible for this scam. I just know it! You must be in kahoots with Ryan and have some reason for scamming us all. Now cough it up...what ARE you up to?

I always knew that Ryan was a shady character.

[K. Anne]

I know that there are other legit places that these warm snugglies can go to.

This is a reservation that would love to have warm items for adults & children. You can read more about them on their sites. And they are legit. No funny stuff going on there.

[K. Anne]

Now I went and read that entry and I am confused. Is it a scam or not? Ack! The cloak and dagger of it all!
