Awwww...loook. The wobot thinks it's people!

Elmer Fudd: Be vewy, vewy qwiett, I'm hunting wobots...

Oh come on...

[Pagan]

I'm having a scotch on the rocks tonight.

Sacreliege! You don't put ice in uisge beatha! You're supposed to drink it neat or maybe with a couple drops of water to open the flavors.

Eh, Valentine's Day sucks.

Amen to that, brother!

Hmm... *hides* I'm drinking Johnnie Walker with hot chocolate right now. Does that make me an infidel? Or a heretic, even?

It means you're ruining perfectly good hot chocolate.

[pacman]

But it becomes drinkable with the hot chocolate... The Johnnie Walker I mean.

But it becomes drinkable with the hot chocolate... The Johnnie Walker I mean.

But the hot chocolate becomes undrinkable.

This festive season I missed out on my christmas bottle of Glenlivet.

That....doesn't sound like a good combo. Of course, I have been know to put a splash of scotch into Coke, every now and then.

Hey now! Johnnie Walker's actually the only blend I'll drink. I've got a bottle of the Gold Label Centenary (18-year-old) that is quite lovely. Then there's the Blue Label *drool*, which, depending on which one you get, can run anywhere from $200-$600 USD.

Otherwise, I'm a single malt lass all the way.

Had a call once similar to I Robot:

Me: Thank you for calling <blah blah blah>. This is Nurian Alias. How may I help you?
Caller: ................<tone of one of the buttons being pressed>
Me: Hello? Are you there? This is Nurian Alias.
Caller: .............(to someone else) The robot said its name is Nurian Alias.
Me:

I swear sometimes people just look for opportunities to be idiots.

I had a great one just before christmas:

me: Good afternoon, thank you for calling *** my name is Fiyero. Can I please take your *** reference number
caller: [beep] [boop] [baap] [beep] [beep]
me: No, can I please TAKE your reference number
caller: [beep] [boop]
me: No, please tell me your reference number
caller: I am! [beep] [boop]
me: I am a human not a computer, I can't understand when you type it into the phone. Please tell me the numbers
caller: Oh .....

It was crazy, she knew I was a human and still kept typing when I asked her not to twice. I have had plenty of people ask if I am a computer, and one person type a number before but realise as soon as I interrupted that I was in fact a human.

[Dark-Star]

you at least have a better reason than mine for hating Valentines Day... I call it "I'm still fucking single" day... and hate it for that reason

OT: I call it "Make fun of people who can't afford a GF Day".

Don't be too surprised at the "you're a robot" lady...they're getting to the point where a good 'bot voice can be very hard to tell from the real thing.

[edible_hat]

OT: I call it "Make fun of people who can't afford a GF Day".

I call it "the day for people whose relationships are so bad they have to be reminded to tell their significant other they love them".

[BookstoreEscapee]

is there a double meaning intended on that... because I'll be honest, my mind went to guttersville right there

Mine too

God help Mr. Math Challenged if he ever gets a baker's dozen...

Also, I've been known to wear black for Valentine's Day.

[Snowbird]

GNMS: "How many roses do I get in the half dozen?"
Me: can hardly believe he actually asked me this - "Six, six is a half dozen.."
GNMS: "And how many in a dozen?"
Me: "Twelve, there are twelve in a dozen.."

All I could hear was The Count from Sesame Street.. "Twelve! Twelve roses in a dozen! Ha ha ha ha!"
