It sounds boring but I work at a call centre doing surveys, however the time goes fast and the pay is, as Amanda Holden likes to say, "Bloody Brilliant!"

You're right, it does sound boring, but then so do a lot of jobs, that's why you get paid to do them. Laughing

I am going to have to cut down on the evil connects and tricks. I am suposed to be going out with this girl at some point and I don't want her to think i am some evil genius who has a secret lair and plots new and interesting ways to make benjamins life a living hell.

In short.....yes. Laughing

But I will eventually tell her how evil I really am.

_________________

I don't think you'll need to tell her: Eventually, one day you'll see something that only an evil person can find funny (eg A squirrel with its tail caught under a car tyre) and start laughing maniacally, and the penny should drop and your true identity reveals itself...

I should point out that this is mere speculation, and may not actually happen...*Starts car engine*

True, which is why it would be better to tell her i'm evil so she can expect said thing.

_________________

Probably, since you'd end up getting caught in the lie anyway. You never know, she might be particularly evil herself... Laughing

Theres always that chance Wink

Speaking from past experience, you should pray your left sock off that said chance will arise... Laughing

I should pray my socks off that i get the chance for that chance to arise.

Well, bearing in mind that you need your left sock on your foot so you can pray it off for the chance to arise, I would suggest you only pray your right sock off that you get the chance for the aforementioned chance to arise...And you could always pray your watch off too, if you feel that one sock alone doesn't hold quite the same firepower... Laughing

Aye, that sounds like a good plan.

"Aye, that sounds like a good plan" indeed. Just you remember and stick to it, sonny Jim, or there will by hell to pay! (And by "hell to pay", I mean "no real harm done"...)

You do know how to dish out hell, Mr. Sawbucks. This sonny Jim will make sure he follows said plan.

Make sure you do, or this Mr Sawbucks will serve you up a heaping platter of raging fires and ironic tortures, just the way Beelzebub used to make...

Ah Beelzebub torchering equipment. I remember better times when you could go down to your local shop and ask them for medival torchuring equipment galor. But now he has sold his torchuring equipment business to those Germans it doesnt seem the same.

I know! Sure, he made a huge profit by selling it to them, but now what does he have against his name? A line of hair products and sunglasses that make you go blind and deaf (Respectively) with repetitive use. Not exactly a great image to pose to the world, is it?

Indeed, how come the truely great always end up with nothing to their names? It will happen to us some day Sawbucks, people will simply forget that being random is good and no-one will fear singaporian pirates the way they used to.

I know, I know. It's a crying shame. It almost makes me want to invent something amazing and world-saving so that people will remember me, but to be honest with you, I have better things to do with my time...

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

Aye, me too. And besides, most of the brilliant inventions have already been made. And you know they will steal my idea of a sock warmer given the chance.

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"

Yes, we will soon reach a point where it is not physically possible to invent anything new...Unless I invent a machine that churns out ideas for new inventions...?

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

Now that would be a good invention. It would definatly sort out all our problem of a lack of uninvened inventions to invent

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"

Hmm, I did a little searching on the internet and it turns out such an invention already exists, though I for one have never heard of it before. Has anyone else ever heard of a "microwave oven" before???

If you mean The-magic-box-which-cooks-food-and-melts-plastic-soldiers the yes, but i didn't know it gave you idea's for new inventions too.

Apparently so, unless the website I checked was pulling my leg, but I seriously doubt that! I have no reason to believe that www.numberonehoaxsite.com would ever lie to me, it has never let me down before!!!

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

Well it seems like a genuine place, no tricks or hoax's going on there. I will have to see if my magic box will invent new things for me to sell on for.....what do you call it.....an arm and a leg.

_________________

Speaking of which, when am I to expect your arm and leg that I earned during our last game of Hungry Hungry Hippos?

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

As soon as I find them I will mail them to you. You don't know how hard it is to hold a pint with this steal claw they gave me in exchange for my arm. And the amount of times i have gotten my leg stuck in pot holes on the pavement and holes in wooden floorboards is unbelievable.

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"
"Trust is the hardest thing to gain, yet the easiest thing to loose,"

Trust me, I know exactly how hard it is: I'm the one that smears soap on your pint glasses to make them extra slippery, and it's me that goes about creating potholes on the road and pavement and drilling holes in wooden floors...

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

Well thats just bloody rude. I demand you stop smearing my pint glasses with soap, fill in those damn pot holes in the pavements and plug up all the holes you drilled in the wooden floors otherwise you don't get your arm and leg.

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"
"Trust is the hardest thing to gain, yet the easiest thing to loose,"

But it was in our agreement when we played Hippos, remember?

"I hereby agree that, should I lose the forthcoming match, I will transfer ownership of one arm and one leg, in full, to the winner of that same match. Said appendages will then be replaced with steel counterparts, and, by agreeing to this contract, I take full responsibility in any and all problems that should arise with them, including soap-smeared pint glasses, potholes in pavements, and holes drilled into wooden floors, regardless of whether the aforementioned winner has any involvement in said problems occuring."

You signed the dotted line, my friend, so I can (And will) continue causing you grief forever more...

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

As if my life wasn't already full of grief already. Very well, continue with your mischievous antics. But know this. I will no longe supply you with wheel barrows to throw at ben, and you will have to find yourself a nw hungry-hungry hippos player, for the claw really does make playing that game a pain in the ass.

_________________

Meh, I can live without wheelbarrows. After all, I did win that spaghetti eating contest last week and one a lifetime supply of metal kettles, so they will provide more than enough ammunition for Ben bullying, as well as serving as a worthy new opponent for Hippos...

Lol theirs no winning with you is there? very well, thats fine by me.

...hhmmm..perhaps i should have taken the time to read the whole page of however many posts...i skipped down to the last 2...

..on second thought, reading all of them would likely not help explain the random, posts of Blitz & Sawbucks Wink

That it won't tris, its just too random for normal, sensible minds to mke any sense of. Such a task would be most time consuming and leave your brain in a gooey, gloopy mes inside your head.

You could read every single post in this board and still wouldn't make our posts any easier to understand. It's just one of those inescapable mysteries, like the changing of the seasons or the tides of the sea... Laughing

Indeed. Time, unlike most things, cannot be found once lost. As the saying goes.

So it would seem. However I wouldn't put it past someone to have said abilities, especially a certain scotsman I know.

Who is this Scotsman you speak of? Desmond? Groundskeeper Willie? The Loch Ness Monster?

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

Desmond already has the power to see into the future, or atleast he did anyway. Groundskeeper Willie already had the power to kill people in there dreams, or atleast he did in one episode. And as far as I am aware the Loch Ness monster is a she, as if i was a mysterious, prehistoric marine reptile, and was male, I would not like to be called "Nessy" and would personally eat everyone who thought it funny to do so.

Meh, I can think of far worse nicknames, to be honest. (I've been the subject of a few of them as well, I might add...)

_________________

Yes there are indeed worse ones out there. I too have been subject to a few myself.

Honesty?! Ok. My worse was.......leggy Greggy. No joke. I will explain how that one came to pass later.
