Tell you what, how about a no-obligation introductory offer of popcorn with a 30-day cooling off period, during which I can cancel further deliveries of popcorn no questions asked?

And if I order in the next 15 minutes I get a tub of butter which is mine to keep even if I decide to cancel the popcorn?

Okay, that's a deal. As a special offer, I could poison the popcorn if you wish. That would solve all your problems. No more boredom or stomach aches.

He was asking for a tub of butter, and you were the phattest monarch that came to mind.

Oops, sorry. 😳 But since the marauder says he's in the same boat, it seems that they have been detected already anyway.

Now your offer's too good to be true. I'm not buying.

Tubs of butter are part of the Lithuanian culture. If he can prove he is of Lithuanian descendency, preferably of Mindaugas the Great, he can have one.

Thanks, but I'd prefer to source my food from someone other than a dancing banana-demon.

This is very true... Look at that which the Venetian Doge fed - I am hoping for some form of Mad-King disease....

Ramybes palaim cia pajus pavargusieji, kurybines mintys aplankys menininkus. Unikali gamta ir istorija (Seiminiskeliu piliakalnio) sudomins mokslo zmones. Voruta slepia savyje seniai nuejusiu amziu paslaptis, dunkso tokia mislinga, apsigaubusi tyla.

No, my boat is at the bottom of the Adriatic, remember?

True, but your Turkish admirer has lots of boats now and I hear she's giving out free boat rides even to barbarians.

Well, have it your way. I'll just eat all the popcorn and poison myself. 😠

Is this the part where I say "no, wait, don't do it, you have so much to live for"?

Fat chance. Can I have your CD collection?
