I've always wanted to have my photograph pillaged for use as a stock photo on a website.

LOL!

Do you know the person who took the picture?

Anyway.. sure, man. I'll be your language exchange partner. I'll help you learn Southern dialect and idioms, and you can open my head and rub your brain against mine. Sound good?

I love how in those 4 pictures of the girls, they are all in their traditional outfits and the American girl's traditional outfit is a cheerleading outfit.

Ooh, Southern dialect! Sure I know who took it. That was the gathering in March. The other two people are posters here too. I guess we all support this bestfriend program. I had no idea that I did.

Get your lawyer friend to send an email and invoice them that you, Billy, and Kermo receive 15% of the revenue that comes through that site. Just to keep things fair, lack of consent-wise.

What brains behind the design. You can go on Corbis or Getty Images and rip off some pictures of people chumming around with each other, with unlikely risk of ever being caught, but instead they go to an eslcafe thread and nab an image. Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Really it was Swiss James' going away party. You can see the bottom of the "James" sign in the back. They stoled it from www.lostseouls.com

And I do support best friend center. Honestly, I'll be best friends with absolutely anybody. In fact, I'm blood brothers with three different hobos.

My name dropping? Those names have already been dropped in association to their likeness on this board, in the photo threads of past eslcafe gatherings.

They are going to suffer a serious drop in customer interest after posting that. Dummies.

Well, one can only hope that their business services are more legit and upstanding, then what they did with their site.

And why would anyone want to be best friends with a girl who suffers from obvious spinal difficulties? Eww.
