I just got this e-mail on my hotmail account. When I first saw it I assumed it was junk mail. The only thing is that the details about my whereabouts are accurate. What the fuck? I should ignore this right?
Hi Robin,You may remember me from Brandon, of course much has changed since then.
After pursuing a career as a rodeo clown for several years, I have turned to sideshow geeking, no one can bite the head off a chicken like I can.
I tried to track you down at the firm in Winnipeg that you used to work at and they told me you moved to Vancouver in the fall of 2006.
Anyway, I have managed to secure a gig at the Vancouver Olympics, as a guest of the Chinese contingent, and was hoping we might get together for coffee or an intimate dinner while I am there. Let me know how you feel about this.
Hope to see you soon.
Stub.

Interesting character. This is the simplest question to make, but I am simple so I'll make it: may those details come from your somewhere in your blog?
If dude didn't have the line about the chicken in there I'd say there was a level of humour that was slightly intreging. However, the chicken thing just makes him sound disturbed and gross...ruined it.
Mag Mary is correct though, you could pick up all those details in your blog. "the firm in Winnipeg" is not specific...and neither is "Stub". I'm leaning towards the disturbed conclusion.
I think someone might be trying to have some fun with you - hopefully!
that letter was awesome. the biting of the chicken head is what does it for me (because that's what circus geeks actually did. You couldn't be called a geek back in the day without biting the head off a chicken) As long as stub (if that is his or her real name) isn't trying to sell you anything, or download anything from the internet, what's the harm really?
I hope it's a long lost pal, or some found pal having fun with you.
Also, what's the vancouver olympics? There is an olymplics just for Vancouver, and the Chinese get to go? sounds awesome.
Whoa... so weird. I am guessing someone is just having some fun withyou, but why dignify it with a response?
You get all the coolest emails....or something.
Cxx
Yep, I think someone's yanking your chain. Someone who's reading this blog right now! Hehe....but not me.
That IS weird.....
This e-mail screams Jabba! The whole "Stub" comment...i think it's just shortened for the original version of "stubbs"
Hmmmm......
That is way worse than getting anonymous fish cartoons in snail mail. Kind of creepy actually.
(And by the way, there is NO WAY it's me.)
MM - I actually don't think that info is on my blog. Plus she/he e-mailed me on an e-mail un-reachable via my blog....hmmm....
Update: My british co-worker told me to e-mail back and say "I feel scared." So I did. We'll see. But I'm still suspicious of JABBA. This is right up her alley.
Oh and Amichai - its THE real OLYMPICS. They are in Vancouver next year....geeez.
Ohmigod. Okay.
This is totally not my style:
Biting the heads off chickens?
Chinese contingent?
Rodeo clowns?
Plus, it was sent via email - I prefer to work in snail mail.
No way in HELL was it me.
It was JABBA! Case Closed
Perhaps one of your friends is playing a funny ( I use the term loosely) joke on you.....
I hope so, otherwise it's just super creepy.
Stub?
Sounds like you're really missing out on a great relationship.
I would take him up on his offer for an intimate dinner (an an intimate encounter afterword? - he must be good with his mouth).
Reminds me of when someone we know left comments as some pop star who's name I can't remember. This person also has the same name as a fictional spy in a movie series...starts with J, ends with B.
Please please please watch this.
Even though it has to do with your last post, I wanted to ensure that you were getting this:

You should totally say yes to meeting him. This has potential. This guy seems to have a humor. Meet him in a public place if you are nervous. He sure sounds like a creep but an interesting one at that. DO IT RAWBEAN!!!!
