Michael Dorosh Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 What would you do if I registered as jarheadssuck?? (It's Finnish....honest!) [ March 18, 2002, 12:49 AM: Message edited by: Michael Dorosh ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleete Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I seem to recall an old Star Trek episode, where one of the crew (Sulu?) is counting down to their supposed destruction. One crewmember makes a comment to the effect that the counter seems to have a fascination with counting. "The Carborundum Manouver" is the title, I think. Gryrene, you sir, have a morbid fascination with this 8000 thing. A very strange childhood memory, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wacky Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: [QB(well, not 1 to 1 scale, anyway). Any idea how embarrassing it is to have UPS phone your house, and some girl with a southern US accent (which automatically makes you assume she's a hottie) asks if you can confirm delivery of "Item 9434800323 Star Trek Plastic Doll"....?? You pretty much fight the urge to say "it's an action figure and a collector's item" and just concentrate on ending the whole ordeal as quickly as possible with a "yup" followed by hanging up the phone...[/QB]...in classic Comic-Book Store Guy voice from the Simpsons "Please, this is an extremely rare collectable, not a childrens toy."

Ex Bellator Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Heh - this thread reminds me of a hidden camera comedy TV show over here called 'Trigger Happy TV'. One setup involved a businessman who had furtively ducked into a Sex Shop. While he was in the TV presenter and crew rushed outside the door with a huge banner proclaiming 'Congratulations To Our 10,000th Sex Shop Customer'. Musicians, glamour models and a guy with a loud hailer/megaphone were all stood around the door when the businessman came back out. They gave him a rousing cheer, attempted to present him with a huge bottle of champaigne and interview him in front of the cameras while the band played. For some reason the guy looked like he'd just died for a few seconds then ran away. So my ramble comes to this - what are we going to do to make a big fuss of Mr 8,000 (at any moment now). Suggestions please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's not a lurker - that would be kind of a waste Come on Lyonel - say something! Witty would be good. Groggy would be great.
