    The 1st guy needs to tie his shoe laces.

    You know, I don't think that was a problem for long. Those are some of the first things to go.

    Nah, it was when they were walking him out. I think he actually showed up to the house naked. Classy guy.

    As the final video was wrapping up, I got to thinking: What scenario would everyone believe that you had no intention on having sex with the young boy or girl in question.

    The only situation I can imagine is that if, I, for example -- after talking with the young boy or girl online -- show up in a Chris Hansen T-shirt; a big, black shirt with a poster-sized head shot of Chris Hansen with "No. 1 FAN" written beneath it. And upon entering the quaint, Ohio home and taking a seat at the bar, I anxiously await the next person to show his or her face from the kitchen door. Then, when Hansen walks out, I get off the stool, throw both hands up in complete jubilation, walk toward him with my hand extended and say, "Oh, my God, it's really you. I can't believe I'm shaking hands with Chris Hansen. This is unbelievable." Maybe even snap a shot of us together with my camera phone. Then, once he questions me about the Internet conversations, I keep turning the answers into my excitement to be sitting across from him.

    Providing you've got a clean record, I think that's the only way you get off without a sentence. Maybe.

    I still think you might be screwed there, Mike. I bet if they saw you wearing the shirt etc. they'd prolly just send the girl/boy out for a long time to really establish that you're there to uh, you know, not shake Chris Hanson's hand. That is clever, though.

    Editor pet peeve: Top 10 best is redundant.

    At that point, I'd keep asking the boy or girl if Chris Hansen is there. I actually would like to try something like that -- or hire someone to do it -- just to see what the limit is. I want to beat the system. I've got no interest in diddling the youth. I just want to be the guy to beat Dateline's trap.

    If NBC doesn't, I guess I will.
