Is this a joke? It must be there cannot really be a National Mini Donkey Association because if there is it's time and money completely wasted.
Is this real or a joke as well? And if it is real, I have but one thing to say to you, Mr. Hierman. Send an email so we don't ridicule you next time. I say next time because, quite frankly, people are going to ridicule you for this NOW.
Yes, there is a National Mini Donkey Association. Just because you're not interested in Miniature Donkeys doesn't mean other people out there can't be. That being said, this cease and desist letter is a nice attempt at an April fools joke Razz Looks very genuine!
Every opinionated comment seems to be a personal beef with masterchris... ...I get it NO MORE OPINIONS FOR ME!
Sorry I have offended you, I see you love the Mini Ass Association. I prefer the Big Ass Association.
Well... After a little research http://www.nmdaasset.com is a real website and GR does link to it. Also, the address checks out. I donno... Duke? Edit: Also, Links, I highly doubt a Lawyer cares about being ridiculed....
we got a letter in the mail too, but as far as i know it is not illegal to link to any site you like.
In case you missed it, the joke (which was weak) was the wide open Covert Ops access. This... is just odd.
I'll make you a deal, after you take legal action against GR, take action against me for this: http://www.nmdaasset.com <- when you want ASS porn.
APRIL FOOLS, I R STILL A GM! HAHAHAHA! EVERYONE IS BANNED! Wait...no, that was the alcomohoal talking.
my donkey is bigger then your donkey and plus i can ride mine wtf are you gonna do with a minature one?
