We're a day late with this thread. I'm sure Pam has checked here a hundred times watching for it. Tough. I will not post a bouncy lie before its time. This is one of DUmmy Pam's best bouncies in a long while. I think we can say she has started her campaign for re-election. This one is disguised as a lament about a cable outage, but her real purpose soon becomes obvious:

OH MY FRIKING GOD>>>ARE YOU SERIOUS>>>CABLE JUST MESSED UP
I have 15 people coming, tons of food and the cable is experiencing a "service outage"
I just got off the phone with a stupid little prick and he said they were aware we were in an outage area and that they had people "working diligently" on the problem
they could not estimate a time when it would be fixed and they could not disclose the problem
I told them we bundle, so if the problem wasn't fixed by game time, they would be refunding us and we would switch phone, cable and internet else where. WE pay over 200 a month for this
you would think that on the biggest game day of the frikin year we would have cable
damn but I am PISSED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we don't have cable by game time, we will eat our food then go to the sports bar down the street I guess...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and you pricks that are stalking me...GFY

3. that blows
but Superbowl = Severity 1 level for cable outage - I'd believe it when they say they are "working diligently"

5. Sorry you're experience cable troubles and I do understand
your anger somewhat. But really, is it the fault of the "stupid little prick" you spoke to? He is probably just doing his job and not being paid overly well for it either. He isn't the one in control of your situation.
I would hate to work in customer service. I wouldn't last a day if people called me names.
Uh-oh! Pam senses she may be ostracized for mistreating the stupid little prick at the cable company.
So, just like when her little slave girl lie started to blow up on her, she adjusts her lie:

10. You know they broadcast the super bowl on regular tv, right?
Send somebody down to the store to grab a set of rabbit ears if you haven't got one. Problem solved.
Hey, DUmmy deadbeats, what kind of TV are you using? I bet Pam's is better:

18. Your rabbit ears should be plugged straight into your TV via coax
Not your Cable Converter box. TV should be set to "Air", not "Cable".
Do scan for channels and you might get it over the air.
A little desperation creeps into the storyline:

23. Did he buy a TV without an internal over the air ATSC tuner?
Please respond with your make and model and the zip code where you live. I'm interested to know why you feel like you would need a "converter" box for this tv.

21. Most Plasmas dont need converter boxes.
Plug Antenna directly into TV. Make sure your tuner is set for "Air" and not cable. Run channel scan.

Give it up, DUmmy itsrobert! You can't get an answer because the whole thing's a lie!
Thanks, DUmmy superduperfarleft, couldn't have said it better myself:

33. But how else would she be able to brag
about the plasma TV and the $200 a month cable package?
DUmmy greenbriar thinks I would be as stupid as that? She is that stupid, I am not:

Pam decides it's time to bail out on this bouncy. Too many DUmmies have caught on to the lie:
