Ok, I needed a breather from heavy thought and serious discussion/rebuttals. Please add your fun/silly/inane but not TOTAL SPAM! to this thread. Cute sayings, funny riddles, or re-worked nursery rhymes such as the following, gratefully appreciated! Famous Quotes? Anything along those lines! (Deep sigh)....I feel better already!


Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, Her clothes all tattered and torn, It
had not been the spider that crept up beside her, But Little Boy Blue and
his horn.

There was this little girl, who had a little curl Right in the middle of her
forehead And when she was good, she was very good And when she was bad she
got a fur coat, jewels, a sports car....

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the kings
horses and all the kings men Had scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast.

Hickory dickory dock Three mice ran up the clock The clock struck one, And
the others got away with minor injuries.

Hey diddle, diddle, The cat did a piddle, All over the bedside clock The
little dog laughed to see such fun And the cat died of electric shock.


Cloudbringer, too tense today

i dont know, bahamut sounded stinky and stuff, i am thinking about putting up a thread bout which nick you liked the most between these two, but if it was bahamut, id hate switching, all my sweat and pain will be nothing... hehe

as for the nick switch, the answer above and this sounds more mature, more intimate, more sad. hehe the sad part can go away... i just like its coolness more than it pleases me with bahamut... but bahamuts my main nick. i like this dragon.

To find answers, hang upside down in font of a mirror until you have a vison, or pass out, it's pretty much the same.

When the light shines shadows only grow darker.

Is this world a dream, and if so what is the dreamer thinking?

If the universe created us as a riddle, can it solve it.

If in the past's the futures is the preasant, and we always eixst in the presant how can the future exist?

Do we live our lives or is everything we exprince just memories of what happened?

If other life exists why must it breath oxygen?

Is what we see real or just how our minds interpurt it?

When you look in a mirror is it you really looking back.

Dedicated to JJ (snicker, chuckle snorkedysnork) HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Several friends have sent me variations on a theme near and dear to my heart....here you are...ENJOY this everyone! I personally have used several of these responses...hehehe

Twenty Responses to Use With Telemarketers

1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for
bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.

2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I'm so
glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all
these problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my
dog just died . . . "

3. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to
spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask
them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many
people work there, how they got into this line of work if they
are married, how many kids they have, etc. Continue asking them
personal questions or questions about their company for as long as
necessary.

4. This works great if you are male. Telemarketer: "Hi, my name
is Judy and I'm with XYZ Company. " You: Wait for a second and
with a real husky voice ask, "What are you wearing?"

5. Cry out in surprise, "Judy? Is that you? Oh my God! Judy,
how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments
of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you
from.

6. Say "No" over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each
one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This
is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.

7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and
Friends Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, "I
don't have any friends, would you be my friend?"

8. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood?
Can you get out goat blood? How about human blood?"

9. After the Telemarketer gives his or her spiel, ask him or
her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you
can't just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.

10. Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company,
and they can't sell to employees.

11. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer,
set the receiver down, scream, "Oh my God!" and then hang up.

12. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask
him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can
call him/her back. When the Telemarketer explains that Telemarketers
cannot give out their home numbers say, "I guess you don't want
anyone bothering you at home, right?" The Telemarketer will
agree and you say, "Me either!" Hang up.

13. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.

14. Tell them it is dinner time, but ask if they would please
hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at
your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner
conversation.

15. Tell the Telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and
ask if they could bring you some beer.

16. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a
number.

17. Tell the Telemarketer, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I
should probably tell you, I'm not wearing any clothes."

18. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a
joke. "Come on, Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your
momma?"

19. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to
speak up . . . louder . . . louder . . .

20. Tell them to talk very slowly, because you want to write
every word down.

NOTICE: The above have all been tested and approved for use on
Telemarketers. No animals were harmed in the testing.
