While I'm pretty sure I believe you and... I certainly had fun playing the other side of the idea?

There is a certain phenominamamama that on a different board I've posted on is called the "I Had A Psychology Class Project Syndrome". The recurring cliche of someone saying something over-the-top jerky and... only when the entire board has laid down the law against some certain type of negativity... the poster will invariably say:

"I had a class project where I... had to go on the computer and... say something awful and... see how people reacted! I got a B-plus! Why not an A? The teacher said it was too long, too much wise information, overkill. I am totally a nice guy and this was not a flame, please like me."

On a small rather tight knit board like this where newbies (which I still count myself as here, really) can be absorbed into the place on a one-by-one basis, this is perhaps not so much of a problem but... it is the internet, what the internet has in pornography is balanced out by severely lacking in context.

There is always a chance that a person saying something like that ISN'T kidding and has simply hidden their craziness for a time, either to become part of the place first or... more likely... because the trigger for their particular madness hasn't come up.

A bit more of a tip of the hand or wink may have been useful is all I'm saying.

Though it was 85% clear that it was probably a role play, there was room left to believe that you might be really into the idea and were performing the internet board equivalent of superkicking Marty Janetty through a plateglass window on The Piper's Pit.

I, on the other hand, am more than glad to have nailed Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka with a coconut.

Is checking the receipt really that uncommon out in that part of the world?, because over here it's become pretty rudimentary.  They hit you 100% of the time at K-Mart, Home Depot, Best-Buy, Guitar Center/any music store.

Home Depot once, all I bought was a two dollar, three inch cactus that I was carrying out with no bag.  I wish they would have worded it:
"You got a receipt for that cactus, boy?"

It basically never happens in Britain to my knowledge. In fact, most times when I hear the buzzers at the exits go off, it's because the cashier hasn't swiped over the product/taken off the tags.  ???

Man, Fooker lost all his cans.  :-[

The joke is that he said something plausible happened, but actually he was lying.

Did I get it right? Let me try.

Today, I ate a steak sandwich and also a slice of cake.

Actually, the joke is that it DID happen. As of today, I have both an attorney, a formal complaint with Wal-Mart corporate, and a pending date on which I will identify the employees in question.

I'm not totally sure how well this will go over with those cute cashiers, but I figure that when every employee in the store has to take a mandatory two hour seminar on why they can't detain people without evidence, they'll be thinking of me, and that's a start, right?

So what you're saying is you're not a pretend dick, you're a real actual and true dick?

yay! It is like a RL RP of Pat. "I am taking my Achewood fandom to a new level, I am becoming Pat for real. Barbers don't know what is coming at them (hint: it involves a lawsuit, shears, wanting to be a lumberjack.)"

So he's... kidding and to... show he's kidding, he said he was kidding and then... to prove it, he started kidding again immediately?

Okay, this is EXACTLY like professional wrestling now.

"Okay, look, the matches are faked but... whoa, the arguing backstage about who gets to fake-win and fake-lose? That's TOTALLY real and so we're going to show you tons of that now. But we TOTALLY won't fake that ever so... everything is all real again, okay? No... wait, we're serious. Don't... don't get up, don't you realize we've made it all real again? And... the writers are lead characters now, too, isn't that awesome? WE'RE SO META, PLEASE LOVE US!"

There comes a point where... you peel away so many layers that you just... get sick of peeling away layers and give up.
