FWD TO MODS: If this one belongs in surplus, by all means please move it there.

This isn't the first time I've seen this approach, but it's funny every time. Who says the lads don't have a sense of humour?

Zombie modality anyone?
I'm betting on miseducation here.

My character should be dead, but he isn't. He's a fixed point in space and time. Smile

One Lad did a variation on this. He sent a probate certificate relating to the estate of Andreas Schranner. However, he messed it up - I'll let Eliza explain in her own way:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CRAP?
I'm going to be calm now, but by Skadhi's bow, it's not going to be easy!
I told you I was Ms Elizabeth Dane – not Mrs. And why the fuck did you put my bank's address as my home address?
Oh yeah, and while we're here – two other things – back in 25 July 2000, I was still at school – and according to the last line, 25 July 2000 is when I died! Do you think I'm a fucking zombie?

Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:43 am

(2)ARE YOU TRUELY DEAD OR ALIVE?

IF NO

So, are we supposed to reply if we're no truely dead, or no truely alive? Razz

I let him know that I haven't been dead in years, and that the woman who showed up is my psychotic ex-wife. Needless to say, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
