Default Mr. Randi's latest quotes me O_O

"SYLVIA AGAIN

On the FARK forum, at forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=3305688, “SpankyPinkbottom” (?) contributed this comment re the coming discontinuation of the JREF prize:

Intercom: Paging Sylvia Brown - please pick up the white courtesy phone. You only have two years left to claim your million bucks.

Sylvia: You're thinking of an “D” or a “T.” Do you have a relative named Frank?

Hotel worker: No. I'm just here to point you toward the courtesy telephone.

Sylvia: Does Frank have a phone?

Hotel worker: I don't know any Frank.

Sylvia: Check with your parents, dear. And you really should take more zinc.

Hotel worker: You need to call Mr. Randi. The courtesy phone...

Sylvia: It's in the hallway. I know.

Hotel worker: No, it's in the break room with the vending machines.

Sylvia: Well, I obviously need to go through the hallway to get to the break room. Little white plastic phone on the wall, next to the soda machine, right?

Hotel worker: No, it's red and it's on the center table. Look, if you'll just go down the hall...

Sylvia: Is the table made of zinc?

Hotel worker: I'm getting my manager.

And, speaking of Sylvia and 2008 prophecies, take a gander at tinyurl.com/3a7jq2. "

Unfortunately, if you go to the link Mr. Randi posted up, you'll note that SpankyPinkbottom only contributed the first line. I quoted him and added the rest. The nuances of fark are pretty subtle, so I don't hold it against Mr. Randi to miss that part

I got by Cpl.D over there, an homage to my time in the Corps.

But to be quoted by Mr. Randi! WOO!

Congrats! I didn't realize there was a time limit on the million dollars. What will he do if nobody claims it within the time?

I will claim it.


I will prove that I am a psychic by accurately predicting that no one will pass the challenge with psychic ability.











AWWW! CRUD! Paradox...

That's a self-limiting condition :P

I think the best solution is for us to start calling you SpankyPinkbottom, so you'll get full credit. OK with you, Mister... Spanks?

Leave it to 01101001 to get right to the bottom of things!

Meanwhile, WTG, SpankyPinkbottom! Good to see Sylvia serve as the butt of your humor!
