I wonder if she turned out to be a big fat hairy guy.

“No - you aren’t supposed to fly HERE. You are supposed to send me $3,568 so I can fly THERE!”

No chinese chicks in Cleveland? Could have froze off the banks of Lake Erie instead-— a whole lot closer to home.

Pratt told police that he didn’t know his would-be lover’s real name, but that she is known online as Xioqian. He fell in love, apparently, because of her perfect English and amazing photographs.

Sounds like the M.O. of an undercover cop . . .

Is it difficult to get a tourist visa to China? This says 3 days and 20 bucks, but I'm not personally familiar.

I’m convinced all 3 of Suburban Meyer’s QBs are better than anybody currently on the Browns.
