Is this sort of like the Lung Brush?











Do not taunt Super Happy Fun Ball.

I know Mormons aren't allowed to have any physical fun themselves prior to marriage, but they're not even allowed to see a photo of an au naturel athlete?

National Geographic must be sheer hard-core porn to these students.

I was making fun of women's soccer. And only b/c other countries (besides China and us) don't really care about women's soccer. They need more competition.

I played all through high school. Played on the club team in college. I watched the Men's World Cup too. And while I think it's a great sport to play, I still think it's relatively boring to watch.

I thought you guys would like watching sweaty girls with nice legs run around chasing balls.

Yes, you can get a witness!

That's some religious thing? What exactly requires a witness?

Not sure how religious it is, but I have had witnesses knock the hell out of a case before.

It's not the chasing that's the problem. It's the kicking...

I second the no cunnilungus rule.

Well damn, what's the point then?

I especially like the complaint about the guy playing the kazoo.

Actually, that antitelemarketer site is really useful. Not only do I discover that many of my favorite guerilla tactics have met with success by others, too, they had a great suggestion:

Whenever a store or service provider asks for a telephone number (which permits that company and all its affiliates to telemarket to you regardless of having your name on the do not call list), give them the telephone number of a telemarketing group or company.

Direct Marketing Associates: 212 768-7277
American Marketing Assosication: 800 262 1150
Telemarketing Consultants 800 779-8442
Phone For Success: 212 431 6700
TeleManagement: 212 684 3500

Let those guys fend off their bretheren. Again, with the toll free numbers, the recipient pays for the call.

And, incidentally, try not to call businesses or order things over the phone if you can avoid it. The company and its affiliates are then permitted under the new laws to capture the number you call from and telemarket to you, regardless of the number being on the do-not-call list and regardless of the reason for your call (finding out store hours, calling an employee, complaints, etc.).

In part, knocking on my front door at dinnertime and annoying me with religious gibberish while my food gets cold and the cat tries to escape. (The ones not selling Kirby Vaccuum cleaners, that is.) I told the last set I was a witch - they have no response in their little books for that and they left quickly.

Sadly, mine are all too obvious. I look forward to Sedaris, Pynchon, Rowling (sad but true) and The Collected Works of Pretty Little Flower.

I think we may be the same person. I knew I liked you for a reason! (It's so nice that all my personalities can co-exist in pleasing harmony....)

Except the bit about Pynchon. I have tried to read Gravity's Rainbow so many times, but have just never been engaged by it.

On the other hand, I'm on the second go-round of the Harry Potter series (reading aloud this time to my youngster). They're awesome!

I'm curious if there has been any concerted consumer attempt to gather the names of companies that solicit through telemarketers for purposes of establishing an organized boycott. I would think that might have some effect.

Incidentally, I have been on the TX no call lists since they began and my calls have been reduced to almost none - other than political calls and the occasional survey. I highly recommend it for the TX folks. If I could only get on a no-witness and no-door-to-door-Kirby-Vaccuum-Sales list, I would be on cloud nine. Someone somewhere senses that I not only need Jesus in my life, but that I need really clean floors in order to welcome him.

Oooooh. These are the Christians who come to my house to tell me Jesus loves me. For the record, they never have a response to "I know, he was one of my tribe, remember?" either.

Sometimes the Kirby people can be useful. I've had them vacuum my floors several times.

I have yet to find a use for the witnesses, however. I wish that they wanted to show me how clean windows please god.
