If I'm ever taken hostage, I'll say whatever I have to to get away

[Modem Butterfly]

But afterwards, I'll be sure to use my newfound fame to promote both atheism and DU.

1. Good plan.

eom

2. if I'm ever taken hostage

...and before I'm taken hostage, the dude asks me to DRIVE to my apartment in my own car WITH A CELL PHONE...

I'll call the cops and eschew the fame.

Sheesh. If her little plan had gone wrong, a lot more people could have died while she was screwing off. Why is everything OK as long as it leads to celebrity?

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

6. But her plan worked brilliantly

Can't fault her for that. I say nice going.

7. Yeah I'm with you

Seriously, what kind of kidnapper are you if you're too lazy to even drive? You're on the lame, do you really need 2 cars?

Oh and you didn't take the cell phone away...yeah, I'm totally calling the cops on you while I "drive home."

[Modem Butterfly]

11. It's worse than that

The guy got away from the courthouse by taking public transportation.

15. Is this about Atlanta?

Do you have a link? Two cars, news to me..

3. If I was...

I would use my eys to indicate the route taken when they make the video.

Eyes closed for a long period of drive, eyes to viewer's left or right as the car turned. Then when I was rescued I would tell everyone to check out the DU.

4. May I worship you?

You are my hero.

[Modem Butterfly]

5. I will not accept your adoration

Your tithes are another story.

:evilgrin:

8. I'll never tell you anything!

10. At least I'd survive

He'd want to take you out quickly.

[imenja]

12. perhaps so

but I assumed that you would prefer such an outcome, given your discomfort with the way the situation was resolved in this particular case.

When people have trouble respecting the few people who demonstrate compassion and humanity, no wonder so few bother.

[Modem Butterfly]

14. My discomfort with the outcome?

Am I glad the guy is caught? Yeah. But Ashley Smith's bizarro pursuit of everyone with a camera isn't part of that. She saw her chance at her fifteen minutes and she grabbed it with both hands, like Kato Kaelin or Richard Jewell. And that's not worthy of respect.

13. As for me...

Name, Rank, SSN. :D
