Camification Action

* find me on Skype: mrblambhead

I was chatting with Sharky over the Internets ...

SHARKY: So, how were your holidays?

BLAMB: I was in the car one day and this cover of 'Do They Know It's Xmas' started playing on the radio. And it was sung by the Barenaked Ladies.

SHARKY: You're kidding.

BLAMB: It made me realize my life's mission.

SHARKY: Which is?

BLAMB: I HAVE TO DESTROY THE BARENAKED LADIES.

SHARKY: Ha ha. They suck.

BLAMB: They've got to be stopped. It's been downhill ever since they covered 'Lovers in a Dangerous Time'. And THAT was rock bottom.

SHARKY: It's rocky at the bottom, alright.

BLAMB: After that musical abomination, Steve Page has no right acting all austere in his Toronto Life spread this month. Hell, that DeGrassi Kid spent more. When did 'City Survivor' become a place to show how much money you can not spend? Get with the spirit of the feature or quit wasting my time, Steve Page!

SHARKY: How are you liking the new web cam?

BLAMB: It's great! It was a gift from Merv. She loves the Barenaked Ladies.

SHARKY: Ohhh ...

BLAMB: Today was my first day back from Mexico and the phone company called to try and win my business back.

SHARKY: Yeah?

BLAMB: I just shouted into the phone, "I don't need you bastards! I've got a webcam and Skype! I'll see you in hell, Bell!"

SHARKY: So they didn't win your business back?

BLAMB: They offered some lame-ass excuse about government regulations. Regulation that gave them the monopoly that allowed them to ignore & soak me for two decades.

SHARKY: You hate Bell.

BLAMB: I don't hate Bell. I hate what I became because of Bell.

SHARKY: ... so, how was Mexico?

BLAMB: It was sunny and warm every single day. Look, my scalp is peeling.

SHARKY: Ew!

BLAMB: We had an apartment in Morelia and we travelled around the region. It was a great time. Gotta get Amber to send some pics along ...

SHARKY: Yeah. Get on that.

BLAMB: How was your holiday?

SHARKY: We tried to settle the lawsuit with Kinsella ... but he's taking us to court.

BLAMB: Serves you right for getting involved in that sponsorship scandal.

SHARKY: Bah. It's no big deal; we're gonna get that Bourrie guy to be a witness for us. But you can't go into these things unprepared: we've got a secret weapon!

BLAMB: What?

SHARKY: Surprise witnesses!

BLAMB: Hey, I love surprises! Tell me who it is! Please?

SHARKY: Ok, only if you promise not to BREATHE A WORD.

BLAMB: I promise!

SHARKY: Cross your heart ...

BLAMB: ... and hope to die.

SHARKY: The surprise witnesses are ...

BLAMB: Yeah, yeah?

SHARKY: THE BARENAKED LADIES!
