New Videos !!! Face on a foot!!

Hey there,

I have now gotten lazy and decided instead of writing up the conversation, I'd record them instead and let nature run its course...

Therefore, I've decided to record them instead and play them to you all :p ...
I will be putting them on YouTube and on here ...

This first conversation was recorded by chance when testing out my new dictaphone ...

Something to do with a foot on a face :p ... Enjoy ...

Couldn't wait ... "Soo, placebo"

Right, as I now have somewhere to vent my thoughts, I couldn't wait to talk about this conversation I had last night. On the topic of placebos.

(All names may or may not have been changed to preserve the identity, honour, embarrassment, pride and shame of the individuals involved.)

So, it started when myself, "Sock" and "Kodbert" were in restaurant. (I'm going to shorten his name to Kod already ... It's too long to keep typing :p... )
(I'm also omitting all instances of laughter to prevent spamming the post :p )

*We order some food, blah blah*

Kod: "Can I have the Szechuan chicken please."
*Waitress walks away*
Sock: "Lucky you listen to your doctor and stop eating spicy food when he told you to."
Kod: "Yeah I know."

Sock: "What do you mean, you know? You just ordered the spiciest thing on the menu."
Kod: "what do you mean? I bet there's something in here more spicy. What about raw chillies with chilli sauce."
Me: "Who goes into restaurants and orders that?"
Kod: "Someone, probably."
Me: "That still doesn't make your food any less spicy. Your doctor said not to eat spicy food."
Kod: "Mmm."

Sock: "Kod, you have a hole in your stomach."
Me: "Yeah, what if you burn it right through and everything spills out? You could die!"
(I'm no doctor and have no idea if this is true. But it sounded about right.)
Sock: "Have you taken your medicine at least?"
Kod: "I think it's on my desk."
Me: "We asked if you had taken it, not where it was."
Kod: "I had some before breakfast."
Sock: "How often are you supposed to take it?"
Kod: "Every four hours or so."
Me: "That was like 13 hours ago! Why are you still eating spicy food?"
Kod: "What's the point of coming out if I can't have spicy food? It's just like being dead!"
Sock: "How is that anything like being dead?"
Kod: "Well if I'm dead, I can't eat spicy food. And if I don;t eat spicy food, I'm not eating spicy food. It's the same."
Me: "Yes, exactly the same apart from the actually being dead bit."

Kod: "It's fine. I don't need to take the drugs. If I just tell my body not to be in pain, it won't be."
Me: "Well if you can do that, why did you go to the doctors in the first place?"
Kod: "Well I didn't know if there was anything wrong with me did I? But now I know, I can tell my body not to be bothered."
Sock: "You should probably take the drugs."
Kod: "It's fine. I'll just tell my body that I've taken them. Like a placebo."

Me: "A placebo only works if you don't know it's a placebo. And you actually have to take them. You can't just not take a placebo and pretend you've taken a placebo."

Kod: "Why not? My body doesn't know if I've taken it or not."
Sock: "How can you say your body won't know? You just told us you know you haven't taken them."
Kod: "Yes! I know I haven't taken them, but my body doesn't!"

... I'll pause for a second to take in that last sentence ...

So there you have it. Right from the horses mouth ... If you tell your body you've taken a placebo, but don't tell it it was a placebo, or even if you forget to take the placebo, then everything will be fine.
Or something ...

Okay, I'm off to tell my body I've been in the gym for the last four hours while I cook up some lunch.

Good times, Kod ...

Good Morning ... (Afternoon) ... So What's Going On???

Good morning,

Where was I?

So why am I doing this. Well the conversation went a little like this ...

(All names may or may not have been changed to preserve the identity, honour, embarrassment, pride and shame of the individuals involved.)
*Music playing in the background*
*Myself and somebody called "Sock" sat at adjacent computers working*
Sock: "Can we have a real song on please?"
Me: "What's wrong with the song we have on?"
Sock: "This song sucks."
Me: "This some is awesome!"
Sock: "Listen to it. Put something cool on."

*Music stops*
Me: "Fine."
*Music starts up again*
Sock: "This is the same song!"
Me: "But it's cool! Don't worry, if you hear it enough, you'll come to love it."
Sock: "Hmm."
Me: "Do you know what we should do? We should make a cool music video to go with this song!"
Sock: "Why would we do such a thing?"
Me: "Because it would be fun. And awesome!!"
Sock: "Well you can."
Me: "Well what if we go to Japan and make the video?"
*Sock ponders for a moment*
Sock: "Are you paying?"
Me: "Sure..."
Sock: "Okay. If somebody else is paying, I'll fly to Japan and make a music video."
Me: "Seriously? You can't take it back. It'll be set in stone. If somebody else pays for you to go to Japan, you agree to dance around like a fool all over the country and then put the video on the internet for everyone to see?"
Sock: "I'll say yes if it means you'll change the song."
*Song changes*
Me: "Done!"

Now, I know he never thought it would happen, but at this point I stopped working and started devising ways of funding this epic expedition. This is what I came up with...

So there you have it...

On a side note, today's "mentalist quote of the day" comes from a character I'm going to call "Kodbert" ... He can always be relied upon to say something deep and insightful.

Kodbert: "Well you can't sell things to drivers before there were cars around."

Thanks, Kodbert. Stay tuned for more pearls of wisdom.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to the blog na-nah-nahh!
So here it is. My first ever blog post. All about my website, The Big Number Search.
The website where I aim to sell all the numbers from 1 to 1,000,000. Anyone with a website can purchase the numbers to advertise their websites on.

I'm a bit late into the blogging game but right now, 45 numbers have gone, which leave just 999,955 to go! I'm on the home stretch :p ...

So, why am I doing this?
Bed time now, so I'll tell you later
