DVD Dilemma

Postby greedoniz » Feb 3rd, '06, 11:27



I have just had delivered the Devils Picturebook Dvd which I am chomping at the bit to watch. Unfortunately my girlfriend is staying at mine for the whole weekend and therefore said dvd is going to have to stay unwatched til Monday evening.
Can anyone think of an excuse or way of getting her out of the way short of murder or a split up ?
I'm not sure she would understand if I told her to go and do something for 3 hours whilst I sit and watch it. She already thinks I am some sort of weird magic nerd......actually I think shes right.
So yes any ideas on how to get her out of the way for 3 hours?

p.s I'd better add that if by some fluke she sees this....only kidding babes! :wink: :wink: :wink:

Marry her, and then give her your credit card.

There's only 1 real solution - ply her with alcohol.
Keep pouring her double vodkas and coke whilst you pour yourself a straight coke (be careful - it's strong stuff that coke :evil: )
After a couple of hours, she'll be in an unconcious stupor and you'll have the TV and DVD all to yourself.
Ahh, bliss :lol:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

lolol

OK, this usually works for me:

1. Ask her to cook you a surprise for dinner. Tell her to run along, get the ingredients and make you something real nice. While she's out, she could also get a nice romantic DVD, you suggest. Depending on how far to the shops, you've got at least an hour.

2. Get a bottle of Tequilla and a nice bottle of your Mrs' fave beverage. Make a small, non greasy and light meal. And some snacks, such as those funny looking 'chocolate Pringles' thingies.
The devious plot is this: Mrs Greedoniz will not be satiated by her meal. She'll still be hungry. But she'll compliment you on the meal, and its romantic touch.
Pre-show (heheheheh) pour the tequilla into another vessel and fill the tequilla bottle with water and a few granules of instant coffee to make the 'tequilla gold' colour (yes, I used to be in amateur dramatics).

So — you have your 'tequilla' and she has her fave tipple. Pull out a deck of cards, along with the chocolate thingies, and tell her you're going to play a card-drinking-game.

Separate the deck into red and black, and you each decide on a colour—one of you red, one of you black. Shuffle the deck.

Make a big laugh out of it all, btw... and keep her giggly!

Next: take turns in taking 5 cards from the pile. If there are more reds than blacks, red wins, black loses—so black has to drink a 'shot'.

Of course, your tequilla will have no effect.

After 5 or six games, she'll be sound asleep, leaving ample time to watch the DPB. At this point, get the REAL tequilla, order a pizza and turn up the telly so you can't hear her snoring. ;)

Works every time

So basically a combination of money and drugs is the way forward.

....aahhh isn't it always the way.

Mind you I dont think anyone will be taking over from Clare Rayner in the near future with advice like that!!

Seige that plan is so cunning you could put a tail on it and all it a weasel!

I presume this plan has worked for you in the past?

Just thought of a snag to that plan....

If she cooks I could be the one either dead or poisoned.

It is looking like that DPB is going to have to wait til monday.... Oooh the pain of it all. Maybe if I dump her and go after Debbie Magee then I could watch magic dvds whenever I want....

p.s If you are still reading honey I am only kidding plus I dont know Debbies phone number

Mate... the first part of DPB is very entertaining. Why not watch it WITH her and watch the explanations on your own?

It's good....really good. In fact I'm pretty much blown away and also slightly intimidated by some of the material on there as it is pretty advanced stuff (for me anyway). Already tried out one of the mind reading ones where one spectator deals the cards whilst you "read the mind" of another then at eh same time stop the dealing on their card whilst guessing it. Makes sense?
Anyway that went down a right storm and is completely about performance. My girlfriend was even impressed and as confused by the material on there. The only thing was me wanting to get to the explainations and using any excuse to get 10 mins alone with my DVD player.
Derren Brown does not disappoint on this dvd an due to the fact I am now skint and unable to indulge my CUPS I think this should keep me busy for some time

That's the one which really surprised me when Derren discussed the various complex ways of achieving the end result but, in the end, resorted to the 'easy' method. And this rich assortment of stunning effects is mainly stuff he no longer does!
