    I am sorry but this is a scam. I bought ___ ___ in question last week for a buck 380. It is now locked up in the safe. See for yourself.
    ___ quick brown fox jumps over ___ lazy dog. See it's gone.

    However as a gesture of good will, I am releasing this to ___ general public use as of 3:00AM Central standard time today. Please enjoy.

    "a buck three eighty" ????

    Lol There are different versions of this same expression but "a buck three eighty" (usually followed by "Pal" is 1950's - 60's Bronx / North Jersey speak. I think it got passed around in the US Army when just about everybody served...my dad drove me crazy with that expression.

    also - up Mikes and down Jakes (for directions anywhere)

    anyway, you a Bronx - Jersey guy?

    A very old scam this ... the Band formerly known as 'The The' once lent a 'the' to a competitor and lyricist. Said competitor liked that the so much that they kept it. This led to issues for the band formerly known as 'the the',reduced from headlining to competing with a boolean term for market share. They felt pretty stupid all things considered but forged on, changing their name to wet wet wet. They tacked on an extra one, just incase.
