@sg Double post but IDGAF.

I feel like I need to find a highlights reel on YouTube.

@lithium I heard one of the movies involved using jumper cables. And something something public sex.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to watching Crank. Came across How Did This Get Made's episode and decided to give it a try. I miss movies that embrace ridiculous premises.

I tried watching Crank. First, it was awful. Then it was so awful that it was good. Then it went so far as to be awful again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I got as far as the scene where he's snorting the coke. That was it for me. Not because it was too wtf but because I could no longer take the roller coaster of it vacillating between being awesome awful and agonizing awful.

The most rockin' Rick roll ever.

@sparks Barx, After the Oh Heckening

I was going to go with "After the Chickening", as I sit here watching my corgi gnaw on a chicken chewy.

@surreality ALL THE HEARTS.

My brain immediately went to this movie. If ever called by such scammers, please please please describe the "accident" in these terms.

We're on the registry, too, not that it matters... ever.

I always love the 'we're calling about your car's warranty' -- I don't have a car. No, really, I don't.

'We're calling about your credit card account, this is impo-' 'Which card?' 'Your card!' 'Uh huh. Which card?' <click>

My favorite are the microsoft computer virus scammers, though. We only have macs here. I am a lifelong mac user. I have never once owned a computer that runs on windows. The most recent anything that ran windows in this house was when Spider lived here.

Sadly, I also know how many elderly folk fall for this shit, so I will keep those fuckers on the line for as long as possible now and then, and often enough, they're dumb enough to use the same fake spoofed number on caller ID, so they can be recognized easily. I consider these soulless fuckers my venting stress relief therapy and means of continuing education in improv to keep the skills sharp.

For a while, they were calling multiple times per day, at which point I got tired of their bullshit and when I answered the call, it was with best phone operator voice I could muster:

Me: "Hello, Microsoft Headquarters Wilmington, how may I direct your call?"
Them: <click>

And for months, there was blissful, wondrous silence.

Oh, it doesn't change the fact that you initially get called. The FCC can still investigate reported numbers, though, and the gubmint sure loves money, and those are some juicy fines. Dunno how successful a deterrent it will be with repeat offenders, but I'm more than happy to report them every time.
