I don't like cooked carrots as a side dish, but enjoy them in a roast.

Cooked carrots on their own are tasteless, soft sticks of sadness.

This post would also be appropriate for the poetry thread.

Becoming? I don't understand what your problem was before.

No but seriously man, it is a major pet peeve of mine when telemarketers call and you pick up the phone and say, "Hello?" and there is a pause and then the idiot at the other end says, "Hello?"

I guess it had happened one time too many.

"Look! You phoned me! The person receiving the phone call is the one who says hello - and then it's up to the caller to say why they're calling! That's the way this phoning business works! The person answering the phone says hello, not the caller. If I ever call you, that's when you say hello but since you are calling me, I say hello."

"I'm sorry I didn't hear you say hello . . . "

"Well then you need to listen better because I said it loud and clear. I have lots of experience answering telephones and I know how to say hello so I can be heard. If you didn't hear me then you weren't ready for a normal phone call and you shouldn't have been calling. Wait until you are ready for a phone call before you phone someone."

"I'm sorry, I didn't . . . "

Just FORGET IT!" Click.

+1 Muddy, next time you get them on the line start up a conversation acting like the Jerky Boys talking nonsense to them. Usually catches them so off guard and I giggle my ass off to myself playing with them like that!

Get them to hang up on you and you win! Muddy 1 Telemarketer 0 :

You know what? I have many different strategies I have considered to teach them a lesson. I could be a pain in their ass 8 different ways - but it always comes down to the same thing: if I am spending time and mental energy on telemarketers, I am really just punishing myself.

My standard response is a very quick, "Pass. Bye."

But I guess I got pushed too far last night and I had that eruption. I was more animal than man.

I contributed to it before lunch. You inspired me to come up with some anti-corporate rhymes.

I did see and appreciate your earlier contribution. But soft sticks of sadness? That's gold Jerry - GOLD!

Matty looks extremely aristocratic in that photo

Even I would do business with me after looking at it. That is some amount of photographic talent.

I am having a random thought of a Backstreet Boys song parody from the Howard Stern Show years ago.

Get K-Y!
I love the smell of sphincter
Get K-Y!
No odor is distincter
