Help The Bewildered & Lost... (Bounty For Charity)...
I've noticed this for quite some time now but never really mentioned it up until now....
It seems on these forums there are an awful lot of of people whom are either lost or have some kind of memory problem that has left these poor bewildered wee souls not having a clue where they actually live...
Just take a look to your left (that's the side with the foot with sock on it) but not directly left here you'll need to look down a bit and then look left (unless no ones replied to this then you'll have to look in another thread)...
Did you look (in the appropriate place) ???
If so you probably noticed a hell of a lot of folk don't know where they are or where they live have been labelled as being from "unknown"...
It can't be easy for these poor lost souls not knowing where they are, just think how will they get their monthly subscription to "Thimble Collectors World" sent to them if they don't have an address to send it to, or come to think of it even a town, city, country, nation (or planet) for their stuff to get sent to...
Therefore I propose a Bounty to raise money for these poor unfortunates...
Not sure what the best thing to do with the money would be, we could either put it towards medical research for people with memory problems or maybe use it to buy some Sharpies and little yellow sticky notes that we could supply everyone with, so that we can write down the name of a town city or country on one of those little yellow sticky note things and stick it on our browser screens every time someone from "unknown" posts...
This could only only be a good thing for everyone involved, as it's nice to know where folk are from cos then you can understand if English isn't their first language which explains some of the spelling or wrong words used or if English is their first language it would make it obvious they aint very bright...
Either way it would help save a lot of confusion trying to figure out which one it is (personally I play safe and go for the second option in most cases)...
Anywhoo... if you think this is a good idea then please donate whatever you can to the "Help The Bewildered & Lost" bounty... just leave the cash in the usual place in the park in a brown paper bag third bench on the right just past the big green bush... it's for a good cause and you know it makes sense...
EDIT: Just had a thought... If by any chance "Unknown" is actually a real place then just ignore this appeal as they aint lost after all... Hmmm... must be a very busy place though, perhaps they're overcrowded and we could have a bounty instead to buy them new land... In which case donate your money to the "Help The Overcrowded" bounty instead (money to be left at the same place in the park as above)...
REMEMBER: A bewildered isn't just for christmas it's for life...

A lot of people want to remain anonymous I guess. Not sure why.... It would certainly help understand if and when English isn't their first language and if it is, how bad their education was!

I think I've been more than open as to where I am.
I'm inside the mind of a cow that lives on Spaceship Earth as it floats through space. How clearer can I be? I even posted a picture of the cow.
If you want the specific field than that might be a bit difficult. Cows don't really have a great sense of direction and all I can see are fences and barns. If I knew more I'd send my sodding body round from where I left it and rip my mind out of this ruddy cow and stick it back where it belongs...
I kinda hoped somebody would recognise the cow and give me some directions. I know it's Scotland because the farmer has REALLY cold hands and he hates cricket.

Space though is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. ( A very wise man once said that or words to that effect)...
Is this you in this Photee (hard to tell as you illegal aliens all look the same to me in yer heeland coo bodiesnatcher bodies) ???
If so I can tell you where you really are, you're not in Scotland at all... Your actually trapped inside the mind of a Heeland coo in a photee somewhere on the interwebs which is of course in cyberspace but at least cyberspace is tiny in comparison to real space where you came from originally...
Not sure whose cold hands you feeling though, could be simply a figrol of the imaginaruim as after all your only a photee (hope that doesn't come as too big a shock to you finding out you're only a photee... ) but if he with the really cold handies hates cricket then he may not be Scottish after all as most of the wurld hates cricket and he could just be someone from anywhere with bad circulation...
I was once real, now I'm nothing more than three broken fingers (I used to have a thumb but mislaid it somewhere) tapping away randomly on a keyboard posting millions of ones and zeros all over teh interwebs and slowly but surely losing all ability to spull or make the slightest bit of sense anymores... wheeeeeeee
