rollermonkey Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Robb, you have entirely too much free time in your life to find these things. THANK GOD FOR THAT! I needed a laugh today, and you provided quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 ~ ~ ~ I heard this on the radio earlier. There have also been pix of him applying for work at a few franchises like BK and Wendys... And so far - no 'dough' has been demanded for his return, nyuk nyuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Saw this on the news last night and lets just say its probably the funniest thing I have heard all day. That doughboy... so awesome. Although the grocery store it was at is closing this weekend says the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 ^ Is it closing because it no longer has it's Doughboy?! Has the ransom bankrupted it?! I'm not so sure about Robb having too much free time, but the person who's pulling this prank DEFINITELY does. Pointless but hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Paul? How'd you know? It was a long planned revenge plot after I was forced to dress up as the PDB years ago while working at a grocery store. Poke me and die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niiicolaaah Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Paul, you should DEFINITELY wear that getup to PCW. I wonder if they would let you wear the head on Minebuster?

Carnage Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 lol you read my mind. It wasn't exactly fun wearing that thing. It barely fit, the head weighed like 40 pounds, and I was sweating buckets. Plus all the kids running up and poking me. I refused to do the giggle though. for $6/hour that's all they were going to get out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 lol I can actually remember this girl poking me. When I didn't giggle she went "Aren't you supposed to giggle?". I just replied "Yeah, well what are you going to do about it?". Then I wandered off trying not to knock over any shelves of stock(I could barely see where I was going).
