This is one of the funniest posts I have read TB! I haven't listened to all of your audio but you are great! After the great 'Shiver' and my great Mentor (you know who you are!!) Fab work and I will read page 2 when I have more time! This must have taken a lot of work and you should be very proud of yourself! I bait when I have the time now, which isn't often but I am constantly surprised how great the baits are on here! Well done you and I look forward to listening/reading more of your work!

Really glad to hear you're enjoying this Dot. I still can hardly believe they're going along with this. It's not actually much work because I'm mass mailing the lads with a hook saying I've made the payment but I don't know where to send the payment details. The ones that reply get a Gmail auto responder first asking for assurances. Then I follow that up with the payment details, including the 'Secret Pass Phrase'. After that I'm using Gmail canned responses so I can put loads of them through the mincing machine with very little effort.

@Diablo - thanks for those tongue twisters. How could we have forgotten 'Peter Piper Picked'. Sounds like this lad agrees.

It sounds like they are in such pain while they read these. At least I hope they are. Certainly there's pain when the MTCN is not magically read back to them. Twisted Evil

Wouldn't it be great to have a Lad answer the phone for you?

I wonder if you could get them to each leave a few words of an answering machine message, and then compile all of them into a message like: "Please say passphrase to retrieve MTCN."

Just think Lads being told to say silly things by lads saying silly things. Nearly heaven.

OOh another idea. Don't give them the tongue twister. Make them call, and listen to another lad screw it up, then make them call a second number to register their rendition of it.

Your email would go: "Please call (number) and request Passphrase 24."

When they called the number, the passphrase would be played, and they would be instructed to call another number to leave the passphrase. Double the fun, all the reward!

^^^ Some nice ideas there Horace, I'll see if I can work something up over the weekend.

The lads are back with the program today and they've been eagerly phoning in Diablo's 'Pete Piper' tongue twister.

Also, Dr. John Anthony of the Lottery Claims Department has written again to voice his frustration:

Quote:

We advice that you don't send us any of this pass phrase again, if you want your fund transfered to you, you should forward the MTCN to us.

We don't want to see anything other than the MTCN. Well then, my next email to you is going to be a big disappointment.

And another lad, who calls himself 'Edith Barak', has given up on the Pass Phrases and sent me a bank account instead. Kerching - that's another one for Alan then.

This could also be made part of a form to test if they really master the English language...

It would require a form-template, where the baiter can still add his own (K7-)number, passphrase and 'form id'. The lad would then have to call the number, state his form id so you can match the recording to the form and then read out the passphrase.

It would give so many reasons for a redo Twisted Evil

i love this, how about let them make this tong-twister within x-seconds Twisted Evil

like Pete Piper in 20 seconds (or less), only for knowing that they have a time limit will make them nervous, that could be some fun audio files

I had a good crop of calls to my 'Western Union automated MTCN Retrieval' line today. The lads enjoyed Diablo's 'Peter Piper picked tongue twister so much yesterday, that they’ve all been phoning in today to record the second part.

Isn't it a shame how these secret pass phrases keep expiring for security reasons. Western Union have changed it to ‘Betty Botter bought a bit of butter’ so the lads will all have to phone in again.

OMG! They butchered that one. No M7CN for them, right?

In case WU needs a new secret pass on Sunday:

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
The seven silly sheep Silly Sally shooed shilly-shallied south.
These sheep shouldn't sleep in a shack;
sheep should sleep in a shed.

(I have a hard time with this one!)

^^I like that one, lakeside. Very Happy

I have one, not so much a tongue-twister, as a nursery rhyme, but if any of them even get to ten, it just might kill them (or me, from laughing.) Seriously, this makes cool cats crack up, just thinking about it.

Thanks lakeside77, that one's going on my list. @SlapHappy, that's brilliant. I may have to allocate that in parts to a team of lads.

Reading through the responses to the tongue twister mass mails, I learnt something new today. I had no idea that the United Nations also made house calls to deliver lottery winnings. Lotto lad, John Sani has arranged for a UN pilot to fly my winnings to me.

Quote:

I assure you 100 and 1 % that you will get your funds delivered to you at your door step, I have contacted my friend and associate because of the disturbing situation of yours to effect the delivery of your funds Mr. Williams Rahim" [email protected]

Pilot William Rahim the executive Pilot to United Nation humanitarian peace keeping; responsible for deliveries of food supply and medication for international refugees.

The UN pilot will make delivery to you ones all fees are sorted out as soon as possible and you send your fees to my personal secretaries name.

I wonder if I can persuade the Eater mods to take delivery of my winnings and pass the money on to me.

^^That pic is hilarious, TB! I'm sure the Mods will comply with your request. Laughing

Don't forget to set "Knick-Knack" to music. Wink

Your mixes are sweet. Very Happy

Here's a lad who really enjoyed SlapHappy's 'This Old Man'. I only gave out verse two so he kept repeating it over and over. If I can find out which lad it is, I'll send him the whole thing.

And here's the remixed version, because I couldn't resist it and anyway, I never could say no to SlapHappy.

That remix had me literally laughing out loud. Epic! clapping

Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2009 3:28 pm

Great remix. Laughing

Here's 1 that has to be said really fast, should get some interesting results

Quote:

Red leather, Yellow Leather, Red Leather, Yellow Leather, Red Leather Yellow Leather

Or, has this one been mentioned yet?

Three Swedish switched witches watch three Swiss Swatch watches switches. Which Swedish switched witch watch which Swiss Swatch watch witch?

Thanks for the mix, TB. That was the best laugh I've had this week!

Maybe you can get enough lads to recite some rounds like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or "Frere Jacques" and mix them into some really interesting harmonies.

Trophy Videos · Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2009 1:32 am

@ FOWLSCALIWAT - If you can get that same lad to do the whole thing, and remix it, it will definitely be a Classic! ROFLMAO. Laughing

Tigbitties,
This has to be one of the funniest modalities ever, congratulations.
A couple of years ago, a syndicate (which according to rumours
included an English Premiership footballer) tried to register a race
horse with a name they knew would seriously mess with race commentators.
Unfortunately it was spotted and thrown out by the Jockey Club.
I think you should try it on your lads as it just about sums up the
odds they have of getting sent any money.

The horses name was going to be:- Norfolk Enchants.
Smile

^^^
Another famous race horse was named: Hoof Hearted

Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2009 4:09 pm

Wonderful I just love to hear them 'work' with no pay.

Another horse which never made it to the starting gate was called "There's no F in Chance"

Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 8:30 pm

The lads have been Knick-Knacking and Paddy-Whacking all day and here's the result.

John Sani, the lotto lad is making the final arrangements for the UN pilot to fly my winnings to me.

Quote:

the pilot would be taking off from Ghana, so i would like you to send to that location with my personal secretaries name...this is the name Onose greg and i would like you to include your phone number(mobile) and a scan copy of your valid drivers licence. Well there's Norfolk Enchants of me doing that any time soon

By my reckoning, that plane should be landing any time now. Somebody better tell the Eater mods to start looking out of the window.

Thanks, TB! There is one Instant Classic! Laughing

Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 9:58 pm

If lads are doing requests now, can we have the lumberjack song please? Very Happy

Freddy Star wanted to name a horse 'A Horse' but they wouldn't accept that either. Sad

Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2009 2:11 pm

Then there was the racing yacht named "Liquor Box" with the rolling stones logo next to the name...
