We could be discussing worse things :D

Getting back on topic, I like to mess with telemarketers.  In the worst possible way.  If you call me up trying to peddle aluminum siding thats okay.  I'll tell you I live in an apartment, and to take me off your list.  But after you've called me 8 times you're fair game.  Some of the things I say tend to freak company out till I explain whats going on.
That's way tamer than what I do.


I dunno about that.  One asked me if I was busy once and I told her "Yes.  You've interrupted me ass-raping the small Mexican child tied to my couch.  Things will go worse for him now since you interrupted my orgasm."

After several moments of uncomfortable silence she said "I'll call you back".

My mom was sitting on the couch at the time.  It took a while to explain that telephone conversation.


Weirdly enough the telemarketer did call me back...

Grante what I said was over the top enough she had to know I was lying but still...
I tend to go for the ritual suicide approach.  YMMV.
Ubernoob is a happy panda.

My brother did something like that to a telemarketer once, sans the ritualistic slant.  The cops were called.  I guess he was really convincing and hysterical.

Same with tubes of caviar, tubes with of any kind really. Squeezing (sp?) in the middle of it, leaving some behind to dry up at the cork, no. Just no. Needless to say, when a tube at my house is going into the trash, it's about as flat as a credit card.
Let me guess:


Close enoguh.
We buy Willy:s, not Kalles, since it's cheaper, but otherwise, you're right.



I usually don't have to deal with telemarketers.
We're on the "NIX-register", which makes it pretty much illegal to call and disturb us, with a few exeptions.
So thankfully, that's a rare occurence.

All the Swedes I know go crazy for either of those. I personally can't stand it.

Me, aftercrescent, shewolf, and a couple other people were about to start playing a DND game. AC looks at the table and goes, "I think I left my dice upstairs in my room, I'll be right back. I'm going to go look for them."
5 minutes he returns in just his boxers, and goes, "I couldn't find them."
And immediately shewolf chimes in "did you lose your pants too?"
Apparently whoever stole his dice wanted his pants too.

oh god, I remember that, I was so bewildered, he kept looking for his dice and I'm all "ok, but what happened to your pants?!"

And my annoying habit is that I don't really cook a lot of my food...for example, instead of making a sandwhich, oftimes I'll just keep going back to the fridge and get various ingredients..."ooh! cheese" and I'll cut off some slices from a hunk of cheese and eat that...then I rummage around in the fridge and grab some coldcuts...and later I'll make toast. Though I've been told that I'm either facinating or terrifying to watch while I eat, because I tend to attack my food and just sort of alligator it...that is, rip off a chunk, the token amount of chewing is really just to reposition it, and throw my head back to swallow it whole.
Hahaha, I just don't understand why no one wants to go out and get dinner with me  ???

You also have food posession issues... You wouldn't let me and AC come over one time 'cause you had a steak and didn't want us eating it... Despite the fact that *I* don't eat meat and AC knows better than to take food from a wolf's mouth.  :rolleyes

Well, can you blame the lady lupine? Touching my food is a good way to win a one way ticket to amputee land, so I damn sure can't.

The fact he's complaining about an alpha's eating habits when he's a beast himself? :P

But when there are things like bears and tigers around, I obviously don't see a fox as the alpha, no :P

Is this a play on the "everyone is a furry for Krystal" meme?
