Ummmm .... I've Just been Invited to Congress

Call 1: The Reply

(it hit me like a ton of bricks once i saw Trendon's # posted that i had an opening. I asked my assistant for a favor, she went along with it wonderfully)

****This is a rough reinactment****

Trendon: 'Hello'

My assistant: 'Hi Mr. Lynch? This is Nivian from Senator Nelson's office, i have the Senator on line to speak with you, please hold as i patch him thru'

Trendon: 'Ok'

my assitant puts call thru to me

Me: 'Senator Nelson'

Trendon: 'Hello sir'

Me: 'Is this Mr Lynch?'

Trendon: 'Yes, yes it is'

Me: 'I wanted to let you know that i did, in fact, read your letter and i appreciate the concerns'

(to Trendon's credit he went right into his schpeel as if he had known the Senator for years)

Trendon: 'Well ya know, i'm just fed up with everything going on in Washington and up here in NY nothing ever gets done'

Me: (i cut him off) 'Yes, you're from NY, i was wondering about that.

Trendon: Yes, i am. I must have emailed you previously about something to be on your mailing list.

Me: 'Ahh, i see. Well, i just wanted to make it clear that i have read your letter and to be honest, i agree with most of what you said... outside of the name calling, of course.'

chuckles exchanged

Trendon: 'Yeah I tend to get pretty riled up, i apologize for my tone. It's just that nothing gets done around here and i'm sick of it. We shouldn't be having this conversation, ya know... there is NO REASON for us to even be speaking right now.'

Me: 'Yes, i understand completely and i agree. I just wanted to let you know i appreciate your letter and your opinion has been heard and i'll pass it along.'

Trendon: I really appreciate you taking the time to call me, stuff like this really means alot... ya know, just taking a couple seconds out of your day to call me means the world to me and i'm going to let everyone know about it.'

Me: 'Well thank you and i look forward to ending this as soon as possible. Thanks for your time.'

Trendon: 'Thank you sir.'

(Trendon runs to post in the other thread that the Senator called him)

[Uuaww]

lock it up, thread of the year.

[hitem4781]

This is classic shit.

[sixpackdan101]

This won't make it into the HOF simply because Trendon is the moderator.

[Cnasty]

Guilty as charged as well.

[BsktbllJk]

get them to legalize gambling in the USA as well

Only thing that would've made it better is if you'd recorded it

i have chat #2: The Invitation recorded on my cell phone but you can only hear her and not Trendon, i should have had her do it on speaker phone ... DAMN!

You should definitely write a letter just like Trendon did. Be sure to post it and don't forget to include your phone number for a callback from the senator. Fight the power!

Darn Trendon and that job....we could've had him in DC getting arrested and put in a straightjacket like a looney person!

But the lady said he wanted to meet me!!!!

seriously... i had at least another day's worth of stuff lined up too.

i was going to ask Peay to draft up a document that looked professional to email him and everything... oh well... it was a good run and got my mind off the absolute shalacking the market is taking after i said yesterday we had nothing to worry about. (thats why you listen to the market and not anyones opinion)

[steelcitychaos]

Ummmm.....that is funny @#$%^&)

[Uuaww]

kudos for trendon for being such a good sport in all this, i can think of a few users who wouldn't show there faces right now.

[VeniVediV1ci]

i'm literally crying with laughter

[Hoos]

Bama would have deflected this big time.

[Seeitsaveit13]

This is beyond epic

+1

Sooo needed a good laugh today. I can't wait to see how Trendon tries to get Dave back down the road. Awesome shit Dave!

[packsyD22]

I give you amazing credit for being able to go through with that and not ever bursting out laughing.

Quality shit.

[Seeitsaveit13]

The best part might be the fact that Trendon is the keeper of the thread hall of fame... and he'll have to put this in there himself

[Weasel]

Hardest Ive laughed in a looooooong time. Holy shit that is fantastic
