    First you have to file a second form remercion using only Pantone 19-4033 ink. I have both the necessary pens and the form for sale on my website. Unfortunately we can only sell Without Chauncey (in the United Corporation of America Federal Reserve Notes) unless you have your form ID10-T already on file, using the proper pen, using the proper degree of tilt to your writing, and with a bloody thumbprint in our office. This is to limit sales only to those who are very serious about learning how to do things properly.

    Reading this constitutes acceptance of contract. Please refer to the fee schedule in my profile. I expect all payments to be made in a timely manner or, owing to my time in the Navy, I will take you before an admiralty court with a gold fringed flag

    Its like how for decades the bible was only reproduced in latin, to keep a kind of auspicious magic to the words to prevent the heathens from understanding.

    These words have some kind of “magic” hold and if you just make sure to use red-ink on your 1099C, they’ll give you the keys to the castle.

      I love how “hocus pocus” is a corruption of “hoc est corpus”, that is the “this is [my] body” said during the eucharist.

      People knew the priest used those words to turn a piece of pastry into the body of God, so they have to be powerful enough to be used elsewhere, right?

    While it’s not my primary language, I thought I had a pretty good command of English. I’ve no idea what some of those words even mean
