News, but not the serious kind

You have the right to remain silent, Satan…

January 25, 2010

Okay fella, you’re under arrest! We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Up to you…

Have you ever thought about selling your soul, officer?

GREECE/

What kind of a question is that? What’s your name?

I am the Angel of Darkness.

satan shot crop 220That’s just a job title, pal. I need a name.

You may call me Beelzebub, or Lucifer, or Archfiend…

Are you one of them Beelzebubs from West 43rd Street? Troublemakers, the whole damned family!

About your soul, officer. I can put you behind the wheel of a new Lamborghini Spyder with double wishbone suspension…

Say, wait a minute! Aren’t you the one who did a pact with Haiti back in 1804? That Pat Robertson guy has your number!

Did I mention Pirelli tires, officer?

Pirellis, huh? Could I get it in the Pearl Metallic Yellow?

I am in a huge room already…. with loads other people… sitting on their bummy bum bums and tapping away on their keyboards… just like me!
I am NOT getting another room….

Then you should tell those loads of people in the huge room to read this blog, leave comments, and tell their friends…. Your boss would probably thank you for improving the morale of the workplace…..

Bob… do you want more people like DEMOPLOY and other no-sense-of-humour-at-all-kinda people… or people like me, who bring a ray of sunshine into it everyday?
Say me… or you may be in for a very nasty surprise!

Actually Basler, you should mention which 2… I mean, me or Pilot guy… or me and M… or wonders of wonders… M and Pilotguy! :P
I vote for the last one… who’s with me!?

Regarding Demoploy, Shra, that’s a very fair question. I’ll get back to you.

Its all about the quality of people coming into this blog, Bob… instead of the quantity… learn to savour the finer things in life!

No, Shra, advertisers would argue it’s the quantity. Oh sure, quality is important in that they should be high quality rich people with lots of money to spend, but….

I am already in a room, one I share with someone to whom I am not related in any terms bar professional. For the time being, I like it as it is, so thanks for the suggestion Shra

You have this special quality, I must say. Now, I’ve got this very cheesy, pseudo-latin 80′s song “I Like It Like That” stuck in my brain! Thank you very much!

Now I’ll need Nurses’ help.

Thats a nice song, M!!! :p

Nurse ! Quick, pass the brain bleach to M !

Posted by CrowGirl | Report as abusive
 

Is brain bleach supposed to clean your brain… so that you will never have dirty thoughts again? Does it work automatically when you get such thoughts?

Posted by Shra | Report as abusive
 

Brain Bleach wipes away the things that won’t go otherwise; Celine Dion lyrics, memories of that time your mother and the vicar walked in on you, the thought of John Prescott having a wife, let alone a threesome affair…

What was that middle thing again, CrowGirl?

Posted by rcbasler | Report as abusive
 

Aye Basler… me wants to know the same thing too… Say, girl, wat did they walk in on??? Tell.. please tell… it would do so much good to make this dreary morning colourful.. :P

Posted by Shra | Report as abusive
 

CrowGirl, you promised never to bring that up in public….

I’m only commenting because…well I’m a little OCP in that I hate numbers that don’t end in a 0 or a 5. Crazy, I know!

And I just bet someone is going to comment on my comment, thereby ruining the perfect No. 120.

:(
