Wal-Mart Intercom Pranks

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:21:21 GMT

clipped by: redbone

You can use the intercom from any one of the many telephones Wal-Mart provides around the sales floor. Even better, we know the code! Here is how you use the intercom at Wal-Mart:

• Pick up the phone
• Dial #96

You're now on the store intercom!

The proper way to use the store intercom, I mean, apart from the fact it is only supposed to be used by Wal-Mart employees, is to declare the code and the location. For instance, "Code White in Automotive". Here are a few helpful things you can do with the Intercom.

CODE 1: This code is used for SHOPLIFTING!

CODE 20: Wet Spill.

CODE 90: Management Needed. That sounds useless.

CODE 300: Security Needed. For grins, call Code 300 to the location you are currently at.

CODE GREEN: This code is used when there is a hostage in the store. Ask yourself, do you really want to shop at a store that needs to have a special code for a hostage situation?

CODE BLUE A bomb scare.

CODE RED: This is used in case of a fire!

CODE WHITE: is used for an injury.

Chanel No. 1

clipper's remarks: As of February 2008, film biographies of Chanel are in production, with news reports of Barbara Bobulova as the young Chanel, with Shirley McLaine portraying her in later life. There is also a film project said to star Audrey Tautou as the young Coco. Three more projects are said to be in the works: one directed by William Friedkin; one directed by Daniele Thompson; and one to star Demi Moore.

During World War II, Coco was a nurse, although her post-war popularity was greatly diminished by her affair with a Nazi officer during the conflict. However, she made her comeback in 1954.

Other quotes by Coco Chanel:

“Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”

“"The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!”

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures Under Ground - Introduction

Audio

This manuscript - one of the British Library's best - loved treasures - is the original version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, the pen-name of Charles Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician.

Chapter one

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and where is the use of a book, thought Alice, without pictures or conversations? So she was considering in her own mind, (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid,) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain was worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

clipper's remarks: The teachings of Cathol....hmm

Clip Source: www.brainyquote.com

Eddie Izzard Quotes

I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from.

I wanna live 'til I die, no more, no less.

I'm a one-man idiot.

If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.

MAC gave me 55 lipsticks to test. These are the same lipsticks I got caught stealing by the police when I was 15. How ironic.

Never put a sock in a toaster.

So the American government lied to the Native Americans for many, many years, and then President Clinton lied about a relationship, and everyone was surprised! A little naive, I feel!

They tend to come out a colour called 'Pants left in wash'

You know, Catholicism, we believed in the teachings of Cathol, and everything it stood for.

Life of Brian Still Banned

Faith-based censorship is an effective means of social control when a religion dominates a society, but in the West where religions have lost their political status it's just a waste of time. Apparently, though, it's a waste of time that makes at least some believers feel more important and respected because they won't stop. They still want to control the expression of ideas they disapprove of.

Case in point is the town of Aberystwyth where Monty Python's 1979 film Life of Brian is still banned. They weren't the only place to ban the film in a fit of Christian censorship, but they may be the last one left — and the local vicar thinks that's just grand. He seems to believe strongly in censoring material he personally finds blasphemous and offensive.

It's worth noting that Stuart Bell never actually gives an explanation for why the film should be banned. He sort of explains why it offends him, though that explanation is weak since he hasn't seen it.

Sleep Is The Enemy

SAN DIEGO -- By the time the sun began to rise one recent Friday over his Mira Mesa neighborhood, Mitch Hood had been up for about 18 hours.

He punched a caffeine tablet out of a blister pack and washed it down with two cans of Red Bull. He finished it off with a gulp of Pepsi.

He figured this would keep him awake four more hours. Then, he jumped back into his video game.

Hood, 25, spent two tours with the Marines in Iraq. Now, like many other veterans and millions of civilians, he faces a new enemy: sleep.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have nightmares and I'm going to get stuck there," he said. "I try with all my strength not to sleep."

Sleep and wakefulness issues were the most common health problems described by recently returned soldiers, researchers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center found in a study published last year.
