I am in the US. A buyer in France wants to pay me via some other method than paypal. Trust is not an issue, nor is a quick turnaround. Any suggestions?

Get him to go to his post office and send an international postal money order. This might be a bit of a time vampire for him because postal lines in Europe are much worse than in the U.S. It is relatively secure but by no means fast. The cost is whatever postage he chooses to pay to get it to you.

Other than the non-Paypal services, a money order is about the only safe way to go. Don't do wires or bank transfers, that is asking for trouble.

I want to fry up a pound of this stuff....sounds great...

BEST ORIGINAL: Ozark Trails Hickory Smoked and Peppered Bacon

Tasters loved this hand-trimmed winner for its "campfire smokiness" and "deep pig flavor." Eating these hearty slabs, with their ideal meat-to-fat ratio, made one judge "feel like a lumberjack."

MMMMM, nothing like "deep pig flavor" to get me salivating!!!!

When I saw that "feel like a lumberjack" line I thought about the Monty Python skit. :lol:

It looks quite like Catherine tate (Donna from Dr Who).

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

"quite like"?

I am thinking more "exactly like" Catherine Tate! I would have thought it was a picture of the actress in slightly rough makeup had I not known it was a doll.

Look at the dudes big grin.
She must be tired.

Plug her in and Let her rest a while and she should be good as new.
For three more hours.

Is she going to be managing the sales and refreshments booth at NTRPGCON?

About 6 or 7 years ago I read an article about a life-like robotic secretary (who looked much better than this pervs contraption). The last line of the article had to do with reassuring wives that they would not have to worry about their husbands cheating on them, since this secretary did not have the required parts.

That made me think, "Somebody had to have thought of this before." So I did a little research, and sure enough, there they were. Not robotic, mind you, but the Japanese have had an industry of silicone dolls for some time. There is also a guy who did dummies for TV shows and movies who made some.

He should have hooked up with one of their companies. This one is just :puker:
