The work I do here important, and I’ve always hoped that someday, if I worked hard enough, and produced enough clever articles and research, that I’d finally get invited into the exclusive club of climate cash that supposedly the rest of the skeptics are getting. I’ve felt left out, and I thought perhaps because my blog has a funny name that has nothing to do with climate was the reason I never got invited.
Well those days are over. My ship has just come in, and I’m now flush with the promise of cash from the biggest oil company in the world. Yes, that one, Exxon-Mobil.
I’m was so relieved when the notice came in email today.
I’m going to buy a new Tesla roadster, and get “WUWT” license plates to annoy my liberal friends. Then I’m going to buy Kenji a diamond studded dog collar and a barrel of those pupperoni snacks he likes so much, then take the wife and kids on a world wide tour.
Life is good thanks to Exxon-Mobil.

Be generous, Anthony. Tell your benefactor that Michael Mann is more deserving.
Watch out, Anthony. It’s a trap. Joe Romm sent it. DELETE NOW!
(I have a feeling someone posted something similar above, but I didn’t have time to scroll through all the posts.)

REPLY: If you send a photo of that, I’ll make it a Friday Funny (and I’ll be sure to blank out the license plate) – Anthony
or edit the number to read REDACT, FRIFUN, or WUWT!
Seems like the secret is out.
The denialist cabal is being funded by – well who knows – we just know the mechanism. I was about to offer up any and all of my future inheritences, winnings and just plain manna from heaven, as I now have far more money then I’ll ever be able to spend. But it seems many of you have been similarly funded.
I once got a legitimate email from a coworker who was in Nigeria on a business trip. I emailed him back, “Cool! A real Nigerian email. Do you have any money for me?”
He sent back, “Send me your bank account number…”. 🙂
I believe the appropriate response is to inform the sender that you are not allowed to accept money from anyone who is not a member of your Church, the Church of Kenji of Latter Day Canis Pluralis
Membership can be obtained by depositing the sum of USDXXX in the following account . . .
This doesn’t give them access to your account. Some of the scammers actually fall for it. Blinded by greed I suppose.
Thanks
You stupid boy!
– For years we have managed to keep our pay-masters lurking in the shadows. – Do you really think Al Gore, Desmogblog and RealClimate are now not going to realise that this is just one of many such payments that “skeptics” have received from dirty oil companies slick enough to call themselves dead “uncles”, – “sadly passed on Nigerian envoys” etcetera?
I have examined the above article in dept but have not found any obvious faults or misspellings indicating that it is an over-exited (DR.) Kenji who has written a “sneaky guest post” on behalf “his Dad.
So please, —no more spilled beans!
Well I knew there was a scam in there somewhere. Your mention of the Tesla confirms it. Mr Tesla was a major player in the Solyndra debacle too. The MSM writes up all these Silicon Valley phonies, as if they were business geniusses. Well they are good at getting at the taxpayer’s dollar.
If anyone wrote a book claiming that all entrepeneurs were flaming liberals, rather than hard nosed conservatives; nobody would buy it, saying it was fiction.
But the facts are that virtually none of the famed Si valley multi-millionaires, is even remotely conservative; they all believe in swilling at the public trough. Why not the gullible need to be separated from their money; and taxing them for these scoundrel’s benefit, is a good way to do that.
There are a handful of notable exceptions. Won’t mention any names.
Algore isn’t on the Apple board to provide the benefit of his business acumen.
What-a-second . . .. They’re asking you to fill out a form .. . that means I can fill out the form with my information and send it in . . . . hmmmmmm, . . . . I’M RICH!
And I’ve thrown half a dozen similar gifts away–not realizing what I had! Dang!
Spend some time perusing:

If you werent so busy with this blog it might just inspire you to respond to that email, nothing like scamming the scammers.
Congratulations Anthony. Now I suggest you forward this email to the bloggers at RC. Since they seem capable of believing anything, I am sure they would be happy to respond to the email on your behalf. You never know, they might learn a lesson or two anout being…sceptical. 🙂

I looked into things a bit more. It appears Anthony’s ship is located above high tide and is going to keep that list without a whole lot of shoveling. Worse, it turns out that staterooms on tankers are crudely decorated. So I’ll sell it to you at a very attractive price. At least, I’ll consider it very attractive.
To REP above, my comment was in reply to an existing comment, which had the same theme, but was not cut, and so apparently was deemed appropriate for the site. It was a joke. How my quotation denigrated an allegedly admirable religion is anyone’s guess. Does quoting a religious leader denigrate the religion he leads?
[REPLY: Anton, I ran through the comments on this thread three times to see if you were merely making a reply. I may be intellectually challenged, but I fail to see it. Your post was a truly ignorant interpretation of Islam. This is not the time or place for such a discussion, but, please, stfu. -REP]
Must be the same guy who keeps telling me that his Aunt has deposited HUGE amounts of dollars in a bank account in Timbucktoo and if I were to send my bank account login info, he could transfer those funds into my account for safe keeping.
I agree with Anton. What’s the problem? The “ships of the desert” joke fits into the Top twenty all time generational-spanning good ones. Along with “why do dogs” and “epilectic prostitutes with intestenal problems”.
But maybe this post was more serious. I dunno.
When Eskimos sit on the ice too long they get Polaroids, …………
[Reply: You can’t tell jokes like that. Someone, somewhere might get offended. ~dbs, mod.]
Telling harmless jokes is now politically incorrect, even after Anthony’s educational niggerheads article. The subhuman, insincere, self-serving totalitarian Statists have won. Free speech is dead. Only politically correct speech is now permitted by self-appointed censors.
An eskimo told me that one, ….
People have to lighten up. My asian friend told me they call us “butterstinkers”. I thought that was hilarious and wasn’t offended in the slightest. Laughed me arse off.

I got a pretty good offer in my email, too. A free tool lengthener! Trying to decide whether my hammer or wrench needs to be longer.

Ok. That’s another data point. Got it. Unproductive direction. Yeah, it wasn’t exactly subtle.
Anthony and mods, fully expected you to delete my posts. Won’t be offended in any way if you do. I was feeling a little mischievous.
I am convinced that Anthony’s ship will come in. He deserves it.
What! They didn’t ask for your bank account information? What a crappy scam!
