Textortion

The act of using cell phone text messages to threaten harm on a person or property for individual gain and/or benefit.

Based on a January 2011 criminal incident in Franklin, Tennessee where a man stole a cell phone, was offered a $100 reward "in-kind" for it's return, but instead demanded a higher amount - effectively holding it for "ransom."

Local media (specifically WTVF News Channel 5, Nashville) billed him as the "Textortionist."
On January 14th, 2011, 26-year-old Bradley Vaughn was arrested in Franklin, Tennessee - charged with felony theft and resisting arrest.

His victim had accidentally left his cell phone among the merchandise of a local retail store. When he realized he was missing it, he returned to find it had been stolen. Using a borrowed cell phone, he proceeded to text his own phone in an effort to retrieve it - offering a $100 reward for its return.

Bradley Vaughn allegedly returned the text, demanding $180 - effectively holding it for ransom. He instructed the victim to place the ransom amount underneath a glass of ice at a local restaurant.

The victim informed local law enforcement prior to the ransom exchange. Police set up a "sting" operation and, after a scuffle, arrested Bradley Vaughn - attempting to retrieve the bait ransom money left by the victim.

Foreskin Restoration

What a circumcised male does after learning how horrible circumcision is. It works by stretching the skin every day for years, causing penile skin to very slowly grow and form a skin tube with some (but not all) functions of a real foreskin.

Some people will tell you it's a waste of time because it's not a real foreskin and you can't get the nerve endings back. However, foreskin restoration still has so many benefits that everyone who does it says it's worth it. You do get some nerve endings back, but not all. Every restorer reports a massive increase in sexual pleasure.
I became depressed after finding out my parents mutilated me after I was born, so I started foreskin restoration.

"Extortion is the key I got the key for extortion
Spend your fortune, dead your shorty like abortion
Take precaution, Infamous laws enforced in
You married to the Mobb, kid take it then divorce it
Cause I ain't got no time for them domestic disputes
If you scared get a dog don't got a click then recruit
You're weak troop, lost the tan in the mist
On your name my shit, take it like a man you little bitch"
