If you still have your house, thank a drug dealer

This must be sweet relief for Dinsdale. Maybe now drug dealers can come out of the closet and assume their rightful place as pillars of their communities.
VIENNA: The United Nations' crime and drug watchdog has indications that money made in illicit drug trade has been used to keep banks afloat in the global financial crisis, its head was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Vienna-based UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa said in an interview released by Austrian weekly Profil that drug money often became the only available capital when the crisis spiralled out of control last year.
"In many instances, drug money is currently the only liquid investment capital," Costa was quoted as saying by Profil. "In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system's main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor."
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had found evidence that "interbank loans were funded by money that originated from drug trade and other illegal activities," Costa was quoted as saying. There were "signs that some banks were rescued in that way."
Profil said Costa declined to identify countries or banks which may have received drug money and gave no indication how much cash might be involved. He only said Austria was not on top of his list, Profil said.

I wonder if, when the drug dealers deposited their money, it was all curled up?
BTW, Bri, I linked up a photo of yours in the Canuckian Spin Zone forum. Hope you don’t mind.

I'm really quite shocked. I always assumed the the epicenter of the world drug trade was somewhere near Innsbruck.

That's
crouching Cinder-shrunken Perk... and not only will it never get old, it will also never not be funny.
She once sent me a pic in a pm, at SCIII I believe, of her fondling her gaping gash with one hand and flabby milk sak with the other.
Gahhhh!
I'm sure there are many who have had to quietly endure that horrid memory, but not many who'll even admit it. I'm like, this is
not what I signed up for.

I'm sure she didn't send it unless you asked for it.
I never got it.
Do you still have it, BTW?

Oh hell no, but that horrid image will be seared into my memory long past the time I'll ever still care to do a right click/save.
And no, I didn't ask for it.
LTL, she probably told you that you were special and were getting some "bonus" pics, yes?

Sure - why not get INTERPOL involved?

After registering at SCIII, I don't think I'd had any exchanges with her whatsoever, and I got them.
And no, I don't still have them -- I think that hard drive lunched immediately afterwards, which I doubt was coincidental.

All I did was disply my email addy, and innocently opened the inbox.
Then again, think about it from her perspective -- that of a wonton internet whore... which guy on here would she naturally be wanting to impress?
Excusable, I suppose -- I have that æffect on women.

Perfect. Now we just zero it out of the depositor's accounts and use it as bailout money. You break the law, your cash gets seized.

Oh, you mean the ones with her on the coffee table, kneeling like a dog, with her beat red ass sticking out? No, I didn't get any bonus photos.
