I find that my patience with cold calling door to door sales people is wearing thin. I cannot bring myself to care if your telecommunications offer is the best when you don't know what my current deal is. I do not need a ventilation system as I already have windows. I do not need a heating system as I have a multitude of jerseys and blankets. I most certainly do not need your version of religion and the fear of your gods retribution forced down my throat when I already have the gates to hell in my back yard.
This is the approach I will be taking henceforth. Shock and Awe.
Best viewed against the black if you have the time.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Haha, I could have done with you today when the Jehovah Witnesses came a knocking. Ignored them for as long as I could but they would not stop ringing my door bell. Your creativity knows no bounds.
@jptv Thank you very much @ukandie1 Thanks - we had the same experience a couple of days ago with some Telecoms sales people. If I said no once what makes them think that knocking on my door half an hour later will make any difference? @eyeamlisa LOL, sorry and thanks @bigugly Thanks, a few focus issues but it's quite difficult to hold a pose for 4 seconds in a darkened room!
@daneau Thanks very much indeed...one day we can meet in a cafe and I can scare you in real life! @redy4et Thanks very much :) @pusspup Thanks very much - it's surprising what light you can get from 2 iPads! @cindyloo LOL, I may just have to do that... @voiceprintz Thanks very much - the guns are $3 specials from a toy shop that shoot little suction cup thingies... @livvy What if it is? ;) as for leaping through the air...ummmm...no. I'm lying sideways on 2 black chairs from the dining room, with one leg in the air and a knife in my mouth. Not an easy pose to hold, hence the slight focus issues!
Just love this, know how you feel, but I have a much better solution, the Sheriff can move from the observation post i.e. the couch, through the torpedo shoot i.e. the pet door to the gate in 5secs flat, barking obscenities ( I think ).We then decide whether to make an appearance or not. Fav :-)
You are so right, it looks very dramatic viewed with balck, absolutely agree with the last point, Don't sell me your version of god. Did you get youself from mirror?
oh *insert expletive* this is my favourite yet! It oozes the likes of Sin City ( if there had been a touch of red ) or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Shoot 'Em Up , Pulp Fiction ........the list goes on -------------you have done us @gigiflower proud!
You don't like Jehovah Witness or Mormons banging on your door? Oh how you sin. You should greet them in the nude, with a glass of wine in hand and ask them in for a casual drink. Always seems to work for me! I will also take this opportunity to congratulate you on your recovery from last nights drinking session to provide us with this lovely calming shot of yourself. I do hope @annied enjoys it as much as I have :)
@ceilidh I was going to respond with something similar - hahaha! Remind me never to knock on your door then, Graeme! Luckily we don't have salesmen knocking on our doors here - they just phone us, all times of the day and night! Many years ago, newly wed and naive, we had Mormons bother us, and we could never say no....they would bug us and bug us, resulting in us cooking in the dark, and not switching our lights on! One night my hubby let them in, and I locked myself in my bedroom but could still see into the lounge through the window...only to spot my poor hubby being forced to kneel and pray..WELL, how times have changed - he now greets them at the door almost as aggressively as you look! FAB capture - I would love to see inside your head!
This is too great. I personally have never had salesmen come to my house - all I have for reference is a scene in an old movie called Secondhand Lions, which is basically the Texas equivalent of this. And as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I must say, I've seen a good share of the human spectrum :) Versions of the "gates to hell" story are actually pretty common, which cracks us up because we're always showing people that there is no teaching of hell in the Bible.
It's a wider they dare bother you specially if they saw this......your house, your choice, don't answer the door! I can tell by the look of them & just never answer.
@spanner Thanks very much @hermann Our dogs rush to the door so that they can be the first to show any visitors where we keep the valuables! @yaorenliu Thanks very much - no mirror, tripod and timer! @creativefool LOL, thanks - maybe I should have broken out the chaps @lorrainelouise No, not really...we seem to have rashes of it and then they go away... And thanks very much @annied I'm always inserting expletives - glad you like it @gigiflower Me at the door naked...should stop any cold callers...and thanks very much @ceilidh Feel free to drop in, there's always room for discussion after I've finished diving through the air with my toy guns... @dide Thanks. Our number never used to be listed, until this year and we've noticed a definite increase in calls to try and sell us something...always when we're trying to eat... @tracelee Thanks very much indeed @ziggy77 Thanks very much :) @chippy1402 Thanks very much, I'm yet to try this method for real... @lynnilou The things we put up with over time...still. Hiding behind the couch is always fun and you never know what you'll find back there! @andrewkru Thanks very much! @louuncouth Thanks very much - I can only imagine the things you've heard! You must go away shaking our heads and sniggering :) We have a particular group - and I don't who they are - that arrives in a black van every second Sunday, forms ranks on the street and then starts knocking on doors - I'm running out of ways to say "no thank you" as they keep on trying, but it's the salespeople that really get me...pushy pushy pushy! @taffy LOL, everyone's scared of my little plastic guns... @happypat I love answering the door...there's always fun to be had ;)
@kali66 I'm lying across two kitchen chairs that I've covered with a black cloth and heavily edited! I think if I tried to defy gravity it would be a completely different shot!
I can recommend the movie "High Strung" in that respect: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102032/
Yes, Jim Carry is featured as the Devil's right hand man, but he's not the main character, and the main character's solution to unwanted telephone calls is just plain fun. At least that's the way I remember it. ;-p

Gotta ask. What are the guns?
Did you really catch yourself in a leap here.
Totally awesomeness!
@redy4et Thanks very much :)
@pusspup Thanks very much - it's surprising what light you can get from 2 iPads!
@cindyloo LOL, I may just have to do that...
