Master of Time-bending! I glide through space with the speed of polyester!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This morning I found an email from some pinhead in Malaysia  presenting a \u201clucartive\u201d offer \u201cto the tune of Forty-Eight Million\u201d Euros.<\/p>\n<p>The header actually began with a \u201cRE\u201d which presumed I  responded to a prior request for more info regarding this lucartive deal, but  sadly, I had not, because I\u2019m wholly unfamiliar with the concept of being enticed  by a lucariously fabulous offer to do nothing in exchange of a 60% cut of 48  Billion Euros, which I\u2019ve frankly no idea what to do with.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I\u2019d like to own a car again, and move to a large  home that\u2019s soundproofed to code and isn\u2019t affected by the bizarre fall tide of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JUJ1_pbPRqQ\" >wandering maggots at 12:30am<\/a>, but there\u2019s something rather suspicious when some  dude who purports to be the Executive Director of some bank in a country I\u2019ve  never visited says he has monies bigger than a Province\u2019s annual GDP he\u2019s  willing to split for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s the mercury in retrograde, or a full moon; or  perhaps, when an individual like this sudden &amp; unexpected benefactor is in  a state of lucaria, someone &#8211; why, anyone \u2013 is hand-picked from the soon-to-be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-15391515\" >7 billion<\/a> that inhabit this  orb. It could\u2019ve been you, but instead, it was me, which means I must be more  special than you, otherwise why would I be graced with odds higher than being  struck by lightning while sleeping on a cruise ship at the precise moment I\u2019m  dreaming of the colour blue, and a tarantula is about to pinch my big toe with  a pair of wooden soup spoons?<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that lucaria is more than a state of bliss  and wonder; maybe it\u2019s the <em>ultimate<\/em> state of bliss, directly attributed to the act of magnanimous giving; or  perhaps it\u2019s like a chain letter, where he gives, I receive, and I in turn do  the 40\/60 split in your favour, too, which you\u2019re obliged to follow, because  karmically, you\u2019ve been chosen to lucariously share in the wealth for doing  absolutely nothing. Why, it almost sounds ludicrous!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if that logic is followed to the letter, at some  point the end-user will get a 60\/40 split of nothing, which means he or she  will lose, which begs the question: If lucaria is directly linked to the act of  giving, but one receives absolutely nothing except stale air or a jellybean  with a boot print, is \u2018nothing\u2019 still of symbolic moral value, or have you  essentially been screwed out of good karmic lucaria?<\/p>\n<p>Feeling a bit lucarious myself, I feel this information is  too wondrous to keep in selfish hands, so I\u2019ve chosen to share the wealth of  knowledge, and copy &amp; paste the precise words of this lucarious soul.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you know him, or maybe you too have received a similar  offer, although if we\u2019ve both been chosen, then someone is indeed lying, and  you\u2019re either taking my 60% of 48 Billion Euros, or I\u2019m taking yours, which  means we\u2019ll have to engage in a regulated game of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.ca\/search?gcx=c&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=knifey-spoony\" >knifey-spoony<\/a> to declare a winner.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, here is the spam sent by some schmuck who failed  to use spell-check for the header, a blunder that immediately signals to anyone  that those infamous, bogus emails of Great Financial Gains from Nigeria are now  being replaced by random email offers of 40 Billion Euros, a grand, delusional  sum floating around the internet, now that Gaddafi\u2019s son Moatassem-Billah is  somewhere feeding desert snakes and rolling spiders in the Sahara with his  Pop-pop.<\/p>\n<p>If you receive this email from said pinhead, will you be  lured by the dream of swimming in a sea of happiness with lucariously joyous  dolphins, or will you hit the delete key?<\/p>\n<p>This dose of satirical silliness is sponsored by Luca  Lucariosa, inventor of Luca-Cola, the Wheat-based drink that\u2019s taking over the  world with its karmically beneficial sweetness.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark R.
