Title: Treason and Echo, who wants one
Post by: itsallaboutme on July 02, 2013, 03:19:12 PM
The slow boat got here early, so the balls arrived in the warehouse today.  I'm gonna give away one of each.  The response that entertains me the most gets choice, random number post gets leftover.

We'll let it go until July 12.  Everyone is eligible cause I'm not going back and looking for all the people I've sent balls to.

I have always been a good global bowler even in Columbia when its stormin' with the bowlers beside me making hammering sounds, I never get off track or lose sight of my motive.  But now I am ready to be Elite!!

(Besides my birthday is July 15th  ;))

Receive a 3rd party call last night from somebody named Snowden.  Worst Russian accent I have ever heard in my life.  He said the "Treason" was the way to go.  He was in the process of asking me if I knew a good travel agent, then the phone went dead.  Go figure.  ;D

you want entertainment, come watch me bowl.  Thats enough to make any person crack up.  But i will give it the old college try.

After being out of bowling for years, i am getting back in.  I feel like i am commiting "treason" from my old ball company, The Big B.  And all my friends "echo" that sentiment.  But truth be told, i could care less what anyone thinks.  I am an ELITE bowler, and deserve that type of equipment.

After a terrible, lackluster season
To keep bowling he needed a reason
He said "Come next fall
I'll try a new ball"
And if I win, I'll be throwing a TREASON!

 (I would type this all over again, but you would probably think it was only an ECHO)

The TREASON you should give me one is because I was part of an ESPIONAGE team sent in to investigate an ALIEN ABDUCTION.  My team went ahead of me into a spacecraft to check it out, and a minute later, I heard ECHOs of screams and TERROR.

No need to Cheat-- Be Elite!

The Treason is a reason to commit
If you want a ball for oil to never quit
The haters faces as you win never forget
As their Storm ball left a 10 pin.. didn't hit

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered saying, "Hello?"

I politely said, "This is Fred Hanifin, and could I please speak to Robin Carter?"

Suddenly the phone was slammed down! I couldn't believe anyone could be that rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. She had transposed the last two digits. After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again. When the same person answered again, I yelled, "You're an asshole!" and hung up.

Next to his phone number I wrote the word 'asshole' and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him. He'd answer and I'd yell, "You're an asshole!" It always cheered me up.

Later in the year the phone company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me - I would probably have to stop calling the asshole. Then one day I had an idea. I dialed his number. When I heard, "Hello?" I made up a name. "Hi. This is the sales office of the telephone company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?"

He answered "No!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"

The reason I took the time to tell you this story is to show you how, if there's ever anything really bothering you, you can do something about it! Just dial 823-4863!!

---------- Keep reading -- it gets better.

An old lady at the shopping center really took her time pulling out of a parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally her car began to move, and she started to v-e-r-y slowly back out of the slot. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to maneuver.

"Great," I thought, "she's finally leaving." All of a sudden, a black Mercedes came flying up the parking aisle, going the wrong direction, and pulled into her space. I hit the horn and started yelling, "You can't do that. I was here first!"

The guy climbed out of his Mercedes, completely ignoring me. He walked toward the shopping center as if he hadn't heard me. I thought to myself, "This guy's an asshole. There's sure a lot of assholes in this world." Then I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number. Then I hunted for another place to park.

A couple of days later, I'm sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 823-4863 and yelling, "You're an asshole!" (it's really easy since I have his number on speed dial now). I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black Mercedes laying on my desk and figured I'd better call this guy, too.

After a couple of rings, someone answered the phone and said, "Hello?"
I said, "Is this the guy with the black Mercedes for sale?"
"Yes, it is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out front."
"What's your name?"
"My name's Don Hansen."
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home in the evenings."
"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"
"Yes."
"Don, you're an asshole!" And I slammed the phone down.

After I hung up, I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer. I must say, for a while things seemed to be going much better for me. Now when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call.

Then, after several months of calling the assholes and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution:

First, I had my phone speed dial asshole number 1. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?"
I yelled, "You're an asshole!" but I didn't hang up.
The asshole said, "Are you still there?"
I said, "Yeah."
He said, "Stop calling me."
I said, "Make me."
He said, "What's your name, Pal?"
So I told him, "Don Hansen."
He said, "Where do you live?"
I answered, "1802 West 34st Street. It's a yellow house and my black Mercedes is parked out front."
"I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers."
"Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole!" and I hung up. Then I called asshole number 2.
He answered, "Hello?"
I said, "Hello, asshole."
He said, "If I ever find out who you are ..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll kick your ass."
"Well, here's your chance ... I'm coming over right now, asshole!" And I hung up.

Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as I got home. Then I made another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going on down on West 34th Street.

After that, I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing.

Glorious satisfaction -- watching the two assholes kicking the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and a news crew was one of the greatest experiences of my life. :)

itsallaboutme IS THE MOST AWESOME BOWLER OF ALL TIME. Not enough can be said about his bowling ability and the way that he dominates the lanes week in and week out. His 279 average can be matched by no mortal human being and his record 39th 900 series will go down in bowling history as the single greatest achievement in the history of all sports. He even had to have his own hall of fame built for all of his accolades!

That story is one of the few things my dad ever forwarded to me (e-mail was just getting going when he died). It was so bizarre to get that from him, he was very religious, straight-laced, etc., it really made it hysterical.

1. prolly best not to wear jeans with designs on the pockets when you make videos for me unless you want to hear about it until, well, until I get old and can't remember anymore!
2. guys shouldn't wear jeans that look like they should be their mom's unless you like the nickname mom's jeans.
3. leave the white belts for the flat bellies.  He didn't get that memo.

After a private investigation I discovered that the owner of this account was the manager of U.MARTINES CO.LTD - a foreigner who has since died without having a beneficially to this account.

My investigation proved to me also that nobody from the company knows about this account since the company has not become operational.

The amount contained in this account is an Elite Treason and Echo.

It is my wish and intention to take these balls abroad for bowling.

My colleague and I will need you to set up a new account for this transfer and send to us Or you might send an existing account with no ball in it for us to use.

We will use normal banking proceedure to transfer the balls legally.

I will bring my position and influence to facilitate transfer immediately by legal means.

What we request is absolute secrecy and confidentiality.

And that you will never never disappoint us when balls are transfered to your account.

There is no risk to this business as I will follow the normal banking proceedure.

When the balls are transfered to any account you will provide I will bring all documents used in this process to destroy them in your presence when I come over for my share.

Sharing shall be 20% for you, 75% for me and the remaining 5% to offset any expenses done by each party cause in business every cent spent counts.

I guess not even a topic that I'm GIVING 2 bowling balls away is immune from a bashing.  As Elk would tweet-#fukme

 Somebody once said something about not being able to please all of the people all of the time.

 I wouldn't worry too much about the users who deride you for a MORE than generous offer. People like that probably wouldn't have appreciated it, even if they had won.

 Most of the reasonable people here understand what you are doing, and I GREATLY applaud you for coming here and having these "contests", GIVING AWAY TOTALLY FREE BOWLING BALLS!

 Thank you for your efforts, and PLEASE, don't let the naysayers drag you down, because your efforts ARE appreciated.
