BOO YEAH

Good comeback win tonight. I only got to see the fourth quarter, but hey, a win is a win.

I'd bug Gates about the Vikings, but it was a: a preseason game and b: it was the preseason. The trash talking will have to wait until December.

Two very interesting hot chick links are here and here. You'll have to register for the former but not the latter, but if you have some time to kill, enjoy. :)

Now, some funny stories involving telemarketers:

-My mother gets a call from a lady working with Comcast and them pushing their "superfast" DSL for whatever their deal was. Now, my mom is not down with telemarketers in the least. She usually ignores the call or picks up and then promptly hangs up. But not this time.

The lady goes through her whole spiel, then my mother starts.

"OK, I don't know why you people have to call all the time. I see the ads on TV, I see the ads in the newspaper, I get the ads in the mail. Don't you think I would have called in by now and asked for your service?"

Silence on the other line.

"Why don't you use all that money you're spending on advertising and give us a discount on our bills?"

Click.

I told this to my brother and my friend last Monday, which got them going with their favorite stories:

-My brother got a call from Qwest about switching to their long distance service. My brother responded with "Well... I don't think so. I'm only 17."

"I'm sorry?" the guy says.

"I'm only 17."

"Uh... how does that work?"

"I live on my own! I had to move out! What, do you have a problem with me being on my own?"

"Well... no. I - didn't know."

"Yes! I'm on my own! I really don't want to talk about my life right now!"

Naturally, he hung up a few minutes later.

-My friend got a call from a telephone company about wanting to buy a cell phone. So, he gets all excited and stays on the line with her for 10 minutes while she told him about all the features and he would tell her how awesome it was.

Finally, she asked him for his social security number and something else. "OK it's -- eeh, I'm not interested anymore." Click.

-The best story he told was when some chick called him at 10:30 at night.

"Hey. Remember when you fucked the shit out of me at that hotel last month?"

"Uh... no."

"Oooh yeah. You fucked my brains out. But I have to tell you something."

"And what's that?"

"I've got syphillis now because of you."

They go back and forth, and eventually she hangs up. He star 69's her. It doesn't work. So he tries star 67. Gets the number. Looks it up on the internet and promptly calls her.

"Hello?"

He promptly reads her address.

"Who is this?"

"The guy you just called."

"How did you find me?"

" ' Cause I can see you from outside your house."

Cue hysteria. She profusely apologizes and my friend makes her promise not to call again. "Especially when you're talking to a psycho killer." Click.

Ah, good times.

Bumbershoot on Sunday and Monday. I wil be taking pictures, so expect something on this blog in the next week or so. Share your stories of fucking with telemarketers in the comments section and I'll holla soon.
