well that one caught me by surprise. here i am listening to your telling of lovecraft's stories, i click on this one, not paying much attention, and i'm like, what? lovecraft wrote THIS?! any how - i feel the same way about those people....

[Gisburne2000]

@qwyzl Edgar Allan Poe would be spinning in his grave to think you that you thought that my parody of his poem was anything to do with H P Lovecraft... but since Poe died 50 years before Lovecraft was born, he'd have to spin in that grave retrospectively... or, er, something! Plenty of grave-spinning anyhow :o)

this is pure magic. when his friend woke up in the middle of it I couldn't stop laughing. "Love those jugs. So tell me daring, you the stripper or the whore?"

Fucking hell! Edgar would be proud.

@fuzzynippleman Thanks, I was quite pleased with how this one turned out!

[Loreleila]

How peculiar you should wish

To talk to these strange people

They've come to me a time before

And all I do is say 'no thank you'

Smile, and close the door.

Oddly what this causes

Is confusion by the score

It seem not to be expected

And they visit nevermore.

@Loreleila Don't worry, it's not a documentary! It depends on my mood how I treat them when they turn up. If they've got me out of bed chances are they will have some harsh words thrown at them, but usually I tell them I'm not interested. I used to talk to them, until I realised they aren't there to listen to anything you have to say, and in fact the JWs are not allowed to read anything not officially sanctioned by their religion. You can't reason with people like that, so now I don't try.

I still laugh everytime I listen to this

[infinitotsh]

Amazing. 

[Loreleila]

@Gisburne2000 It's not a documentary? I'd never have guessed. :P It's very clever and funny whatever it is.

I wasn't going to re-post this one. But I like it, so now I have :o)
