    Don't call them. Let them call you. Then use <a href='http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html' target='_blank'>the Counter-Script</a>.

    It's like a game, you try to see how far you can get. The furthest I've gotten is to when I was about to ask "Do you think having good teeth is important for your job?" before I *knew* I was going to burst out laughing, and I had to hang up.

    I know the secret to never having to deal with telemarketers: Don't own a phone. If you must own a phone, be sure to own an air horn.

    I forgot: if you can, put them on hold and walk away. Check back every 5 minutes - I've never had someone last longer than 5 minutes. XD

    I so can't wait for a telemarketer to call.

    -Telemarketer calls

    *you:Hello?
    ^them:Hello sir I'm selling such and so.
    * ... (do not speak)
    ^ ...
    * ... (hold it)
    ^ ... sir are y- (cut them off)
    * what are you wearing?
    ^ what?

    Best conversation I had. Just before dad signed us up for that whole do not call list. Such BS, that was the best form of entertainment ever. It was free prank calling. I remember a site where a guy recorded a bunch of his prank phone calls and they were so hilarious.

    Yeah I remember that counterscript. I printed it out and sat it by my phone. Pretty useful stuff.

    I had a friend who used to take audio clips of random stuff and play it back. Like completely unrelated stuff like the Flinstones theme or Kefka's freakish laugh from Final Fantasy. It was great.

    Telemarketer: Does you own a mobile phone?
    Me: No, I use a banana
    Telemarketer: Ok......does anybody else in your household own a mobile phone?
    Me: No, they all use banana's too

    *hangs up*

    This thread should be stickied and then moved to its own forum. I'd call it:

    The Off-Topic Hall of Fame

    Make it only accessible to Constie members and hey presto Flayra has so much money he can even make a film of NS2, which of course will crash at the box office, but regardless he'll still have cash left over to release a Special Edition DVD with such extras as:

    - The Making of NS2: The Motion Picture
    - A documentary of the Post Production of NS2: The Motion Picture, explaining its bad performance at the box office
    - An easter egg with pictures of Charlie, possibly posing in a thong and even more possibly riding a lifesize Onos model (this is to appease the fruitier members of the NS Community)
    - and naturally, this thread, which made it all possible!

    Check back periodically, to see when they've hung up.
