ThURLsday’s back, with some brand new inventions:
- Just turn the sound up, and click here. Feta Cheese it out.
- I could see spending 10 grand on bitterness and angst, myself. That’s why this? Not surprising to me.
- OMG, like somebody‘s all bitter that the the Chronic(WHAT?)cles of Narnia Rap is more popular than they are! Like, double-u tee eff, right? LOL!
- All they have to do is come up with some rules like these (developed for Monopoly) for Cranium, to help clear up some gray areas (for example, like if in “Copycat” questions, you have to actually act like the famous person, or can you just spout non-name/place facts about them?).
Whoops, spoke too soon, although they don’t much help.
- This counter-telemarketer script seems like it wouldn’t really be all that useful. I can’t think of any way to keep the telemarketer on track, although if the old story that telemarketers are never allowed to hang up on a potential customer is true, maybe after a while you could break them down.
Me? I’ve always been partial to saying “Mr. Hearn? Just a moment, I’ll get him.” Then I leave the phone off the hook until they finally hang up. Usually they’ll sit on there for a good 5 or 6 minutes, which I figure is 5 or 6 minutes that they aren’t bothering somebody else. I do this is a public service for you, the American citizen, and no, you don’t have to thank me.
Sometimes my father puts Norwegians on the phone to confuse the callers as well.

Unfortunately, due to a current lack of Norwegians residing at Hearndom I, I’ve had to take to just repeating over and over the 20 Norwegian words I know when dealing with telemarketers. You get the same effect, really. Of course, come to think of it, completely incoherent babbling would work as well, and I’m an expert in that.
