Searching for that Special Lady – 48


“Ladies”, In search of that special lady out there for this bad boy doing life in the penitentiary. Must be financially independent and willing to visit, correspond on a mature and trustworthy level, spend quality time with one another and build a great friendship, maybe more.

If you feel you are the one for me, with no convicted felony, then baby, drop me a line with photo and I will reply A.S.A.P. If you are lonely, than I am the one for you. I have a great personality with a big heart and smile.

I am 6’2″, eyes of blue with long dark blonde wavy hair. 215 lbs. and 48 years old. I am a cool guy and a great listener. Not bad looking either but that is for you to decide. I am willing to give you 100% of me in return for your trust and affection.

I love music, “all types”, crochet and play guitar if not visiting my mom! : )

I would love to have you in my life if you feel you are the one for me. With the holidays fast approaching, I would be the special present for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Love & Respect,
Billy

P.S. Send all correspondence to;

Billy [name] #[number]
[cell #]
[State] Penitentiary
[Address]
[Location] [Zip]

Write my name and number on the back of photo for speedy reply. Do not respond to email, to get a reply back you must send to Billy at the above address.

I think we found out what happened to Billy.

Parts of this are almost a song:

If you feel you are the one for me,
with no convicted felony,
then baby, drop me a line with photo
and I will reply A.S.A.P.

That’s right, single, financially independent women — throw your hands in the air! Wave them like you just don’t care [that your new boyfriend is doing life in prison]! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Put a ring on it — but be prepared for the prison guards to inspect it when you come to visit.

Thanks, Mary!

[Dan says I should be ashamed of myself for the song reference in the title. I am.]

    I like music “all types”? I think banjo is probably pretty high up on the list.

          In a recent survey of lady convicts, nine out of twelve preferred the smooth, hickory-infused taste of Bacontini to toilet wine.

          “I’d shank my cellmate for a sip!” enthuses Sandra “Spanky” Collins (Inmate #254796354)

          That’s Bacontini – Ask for it by name! Demand that your local purveyor of fine meat-based cocktails stock only quality Bacontini products. Maybe make a few vague threats concerning the flammability of his business and/or home until he agrees to stock Bacontini!

      I’m curious as to how he manages to remain incarcerated and still visit his mom. Is there some sort of prison exchange program in place so you can visit other incarcerated relatives (and presumably exchange crochet patterns) that has failed to be publicized by the media? ‘Cause you would think someone would mention that sort of thing once and a while.

      Adores: 11
      • 2010 November 4

        This is a new program where inmates serve half their time in prison and half their time with their mothers. There is a case building in the lower courts as to whether or not this is considered cruel and unusual punishment.

          My parents stole mine because clothes with holes in them were not appropriate and I wouldn’t stop wearing them. Those were the softest, most comfortable jeans ever (and the holes were minimal). I could wear them today if I were the same size because they were all white. You know what? I’m still bitter. I’m going to be over here huffing Aqua Net to take my mind off of it.

          [random celebrity corey] Back in the mid/late ’90s when Kiss was touring again, one of my friends won good tickets to a show and ended up sitting near Sebastian Bach, who they got to high five. She was nearly as excited about that as seeing Kiss. [/vicarious random celebrity corey]

After the fabulous show, this friend went up to the stage and asked for one of the drum sticks he had used durning the show. An understanding stage hand obliged.

          Well, ok, I’ve some [celeb anecdotes]

          Was put on a plane as a solo minor traveling between some two family obligations. Flight Attendant decided to put me in an empty seat in 1st class. Was treated very nicely. Nice man next to me asked if i liked the accommodations. His name was Frank. I said it definitely beat Space-A on “Maybe Airplane Come” like I was used to. Poor man nearly choked on his beverage. He wanted to know if I wanted the window seat. Naw, only interesting at either end, pretty much looks all the same along the way. He allowed as how he’d had a trip like that. If only the once, but it was a cool trip to shut up big shots. So, I said, that’s sounds cool, where’d you go? The Moon.
          Later, I learned the fellow on that Eastern jet was Frank Borman.

          Was in a bar when they decided to pay Lyle Lovett’s bar tab; so it was his first real ‘professional’ performance.

          Used to walk right past the “Front Porch” in that song, too.

          Buddy of mine, said, hey let’s go downtown, Kinky is playing. It’s a good show, and a tiny venue. Idea was hatched to have Mr Friedmann sign something from the car. We cyt back through the alley and run into himself. After explaining, he followed us over to the ride, signed stuff, too. He then said, you know where my hotel is, they’ve left me behind again. We gave him a lift (if after a stop at the store for cigars and liquor).

    Hi, I’m an incarcerated criminal who needs a naive sugar mama who can take care of me when I’m released in 5-10. I’ve learned a few things in prison because there’s bugger all else to do here and as my cellmate’s bitch I’ve learned some manners and how to listen instead of talk. I’ve learned to like all kinds of music because they don’t let you pick what to listen to here. Send me a pic.

      Dear Billy,

      Why, I must admit your cry for affection has tugged at my heartstrings. Everybody deserves to have love, my Billy. I’m sure that whatever you did to put you in hoosegow was an accident and you’re truly, deeply penitent and willing to atone in the proper manner that our failed justice system is incapable of allowing you to do. But don’t worry, my dear, sweet Billy, I can help you take care of that, and I have all of the necessary salves, balms and ointments to help with the pain and the chafing, and lung flukes only live so long. I will take such good care of you.

      I am independently wealthy from my former job as a lingerie model, so you needn’t worry about your welfare. I can take care of all of your wants and needs, ad I already have a titillating assortment of gear, if you know what I mean. I am absolutely certain you would look stunning in vinyl, my Billy, and I know just how to accessorize. Oh believe me, Billy, you’ve never seen such awe-inspiring clamps.

      Do you have tattoos and piercings? I go absolutely wild for those. I’ve always wanted a guy with a Prince Albert and a full sleeve tat on his member. I’ve always wanted to hang something from that piercing. You sound like the sort of strapping, strong man’s man that could handle it, and I need a man’s man more than you could ever know.

      I am including my picture, wearing some of the naughtier lingerie I used to model, plus a little extra that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. If you’re having trouble finding the bonus, is the thing with the spikes. Yes, it’s there. Believe me, you’ve never known pleasure until you’ve known pain.

      Hope to hear back from you lover. I’m including my number, Billy. Don’t lose it. You’re not anywhere that I can’t find you.

Alcohol may have been involved at some point*. Upon waking up on Sunday, he discovered that he had a tattoo of a lion’s head on the end of his “personal property”. Full color, with a flowing mane wrapped around….

        As a guess, the correctional facility may not allow conjugal (or other visits) by felons.

        Or, Sparky is a “thrid time loser” felon, and the last judge put a restriction on his access while incarcerated.

        As a guess, Spark wants conjugal visits, and these get scheduled at the convenience for the facility, so Spark needs to find that some one who can drive across state on a Tuesday, or every third Thursday, in the middle of the day.

        Which suggests that this is not the first time Spark has tried this gambit.

          I’m pretty sure that most prisons are not set up as a meet-and-greet for their residents to have booty call weekends whenever they want. I would hope that conjugal visits, should a particular facility allow them, would be reserved for married inmates only; not just because you happened to bring a casserole and some condoms.

          Well, the various DoJ, DoC, DCJ operations out there have a “client base” which often defines “non traditional marriage” and has to compensate accordingly.
          One aspect is for common-law marriage and for WIC/ADC “unions” too. Where all sorts of paperwork others might consider requisite are sort of glossed over.

    Against the visiting booths sticky glass;
    A prisoner that looks at walls all day,
    And lifts his tattooed arms to pray;
    A prisoner that may on Sunday wear
    A wig and ribbons in his hair;
    Upon whose bottom Bubba has lain;
    Who intimately lives with the pain.

    There’s no other love like hand love
    And yes, oh yes, I’ll always want you buried near me
    I’ve waited for you for so long

    Ladies, your love’s the only love I need (except Bubba)
    And beside my cardboard Bea is where I want you to be

          I am 2’6″, wavy eyes, and blue with long blonde hair hanging down my back (just my back). 215 lbs. and 48 years old (at some point in my life). You can decide if I am not bad looking. I think most people already have.

          I play the gamelan and jew’s harp and am willing to give you 100% of me in return for your trust and affection. I like making crafty bazaar gifts out of old milk cartons and toilet paper tubes. My mother has been dead for 5 years; she and your Mom will probably get along fine.

          I could be your special holiday present. Imagine me under your tree in 2010! Go ahead, untie the bow.

          I love you,
          Innanna

          I’ve always suspeted that C-man’s inspiration stemmed from time in prison or his mom’s basement.

          Hammy, you are becoming obsessed with Miller Lite. I think we are going to have to take that aquarium out of the Orbiting Cave of Technological Wonders.

    The talent here at YSaC Green Room is amazing today.

    I like “Sing-Sing a Song” and “The Inside Story”, although “Love Behind Bars” is pretty good too, for Musical. I can help with the scenery.

    I’m surprised that none of the able commentators here admitted a glaring positive feature for poor Billy. His ad is literate, contains no spelling errors, and is easily understood. There’s no doubt that Billyboy has had more education that the stereotypical CL poster. He has most likely won the “Best Scholar” award more than any other inmate, and intends to keep his title. (It would have been the “Outstanding” scholar award, except in 1977, they had to release Anthony “Sharkman” Jones when he sued the Department of Corrections claiming that since the DOC said he was “out standing” they had to let him go….)

        And looking at it again, the grammar isn’t great. There’s certainly what to red-pen here.

        Also, the switch to 3rd person in the last line makes me think he has someone on the outside posting this for him, and probably helping with the wording and spelling as well.

    Aw! I am (probably not-so-) honorably in the box with Sarajean, and Manda gets top honors (good, because I loved that one). Windrose, what’s an honorably-mentioned punch like?

      Whoa – look at that! Cool. That makes up for an evening of sheer insanity here at Casa de B. When did that happen?

      If I have to share a box with anyone, I’m thrilled it is Lola and SJ.

      Wow. That sounded far less inappropriate before I typed it.

        Manda, it’s a secret. But if the Golden Lotus hasn’t updated by noon MPT (my personal time) then I feel free to do it. Thursdays seem to be my day, too. 8)

    Dang, I’ve been gone so long that my stuff werent [sic] filled in for me to comment. Shucks.

    Missed you all, I threw many doors as I read. Am now wiping nose & tears.

    I have to say, in Billy’s defense, that if he looks like Val Kilmer in Felon he is all mine. That was a man that loved his family and well, hubba hubba. I know, pity me, but I haven’t seen a version of Val that didn’t make me want to take a “personal moment.”

    (Was that right to put the period inside the end-quote there? It felt wrong.)

    Hope I remember to come back soon!
