Don't have nightmares Sponge. Wink The first verse has been parodied from another parody. The rest is the product of a very sick and twisted mind.

Good King Wenceslas looked out
Of his bedroom window
Silly bugger he fell out and landed on a cinder.
Brightly shone his arse that night
And the pain was cruel
When a shill bot came in sight
Riding a white mule

“Hither, bot, and stand by me
If though know’st it, telling
Canst thou cure my burning arse?
It is sorely swelling.”
“Sire, I have some aloe gel
That will ease the burning
It will cure black death as well
And will soothe your royal ring.”

“Let me take my breeches off
Bring that aloe hither
Thou and I will rub it in
Right and left and thither.”
Bot and monarch forth they went
Back and forth together
Though I fear I doth lament:
Why didst they use a feather?

“Sire, the feather’s darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can rub no longer!”
“Mark my passage, my good bot
Stick it in there boldly
Thou shalt find the sorest spot
Freeze that aloe coldly.”

In his master’s arse he prod
Where the wound lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Where the cinder printed
Therefore shill bots: heed this now
Six figures possessing
When you take your PUPP box out
Bring gloves and gauze dressing.

acat Mr Bowie will be tittering on a cloud!

acatcalledjohn · 27/11/2016 21:44

You win, BS, Good King Wenceslas is fabulously funny!

BSintolerant · 27/11/2016 21:48

Thanks acat.

So ... when are we going to Head Office for a spot of carol singing? Grin

acatcalledjohn · 27/11/2016 22:16

Perhaps we could hold a periscope carol singing sesh. PJ's and Wine...

Spongebobette · 27/11/2016 23:27

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

BSintolerant · 27/11/2016 23:28

If we have a periscope carol sesh in our pjs, with wine, in front of the fire we must beware of cinders. (Not that she has any balls to go to - not in my pjs, last time I checked.)

Spongebobette · 27/11/2016 23:29

I am very cheered up and impressed by the wit and intelligence on here.
Also feeling a teensy bit inadequate!

BSintolerant · 27/11/2016 23:42

Sponge don't feel inadequate: you are a muse. Flowers

I'm glad you're entertained by this mocking of the MLM afflicted. The world needs more cheer and laughter. Wink

acatcalledjohn · 28/11/2016 00:02

Muse?

Groupies!

BSintolerant · 28/11/2016 06:50

acat Wink

Aren't bots groupies? There they are, following shill bots around on social media, going to business presentations and Failure Days in the hope of grabbing a selfie and breathing the same air, dreaming of having multiple six-figure salaries, posing like pimps in their white cars ...?

Spongebobette · 28/11/2016 09:02

.....and commenting on their posts like good little bots

acatcalledjohn · 28/11/2016 09:33

Quick: I need some feedback on Stella and Dot and Phoenix trading. They are given a stall here in our office Angry

acatcalledjohn · 28/11/2016 09:54

But carol singing groupies are so much more normal than brainwashed bots Grin

Spongebobette · 28/11/2016 11:13

acat have a look at Botwatch

What is it with white cars? They just show the dirt from the road.

keeptheaspidistra · 28/11/2016 19:20

Checking in.
Not sure if I've been to the dark side in my absence.
I reluctantly went to an usbourne "party" through a friend of a friend. Most out of character, normally hate shit like that
I thought usbourne was the forever living/younique/juice plus of the book world but now I'm not so sure I've got that right.
The books were cheaper than the usual shops.
They were children's books I'd heard of
No one pressurised me to buy
No one pressurised me to sell (or even spoke to me other than when I was paying. Which is a bonus for an anti social bastard like me)
And no pretense of lifestyle/earning claims lies I've come to associate with mlms.
So have I got usbourne all wrong?!?

acatcalledjohn · 28/11/2016 19:28

I don't think Usborne is quite as evil as some of the others.

I've been looking at Stella & Dot today. Some seriously overpriced stuff despite there being no clear brand/quality history.

acatcalledjohn · 28/11/2016 19:28

*is NOT quite as evil.

TFPsa · 29/11/2016 14:33

From a customer perspective. I don't think Usbourne is too bad at all. By MLM standards it's bordering on excellent. Usbourne parties do actually have genuine customers, unlike yer standard MLM selling small bottles of snake oil for high prices.

The books sold at the 'parties' tend not to be supercheap, e.g. usually higher prices than The Book People, but usually a bit less than Waterstones or whatever.

FromIbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 29/11/2016 16:22

Your post about "parties" and customers reminds me - my FL bot had a Xmas shopping party last night. I thought it was quite telling that the only photo she posted was of the display of products on the table. No photos of customers/guests/victims or whatever you call them. Makes me wonder if anyone turned up.

Oh, and naturally, the Likes on the pic are only from other "business owners".

Spongebobette · 29/11/2016 17:30

Was it an online party, hün?

FromIbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 29/11/2016 18:39

Hi hun Smile

Actually we missed a trick - it was a real life FL Xmas shopping event at her house. She posted the invite, including her address on her open to the world Facebook page. We could have turned up with Timeless Vie literature Grin

This desperate wannabe bot documents every bit of her life and that of her kids including their schools (well only the ones that go to private schools, not the ones in state schools). Does it never cross their mind that it's not a sensible thing to do putting all this out there on the internet for anyone and everyone to see.

Spongebobette · 29/11/2016 20:31

Bloody hell she could have ended up with an invasion of partygoers trashing her house, followed by a story in the Daily Mail of her looking sad

keeptheaspidistra · 30/11/2016 11:35

It's full on FL online Xmas party season ATM. My FL FB friend had nearly 100 comments on her selling live video. Its normally tumble weed. Had a spy, it was 5 FLBO's commenting over and over and over again. Wtf?! Obviously have too much time on their hands. Not a single comment enquiring about making a purchase 😔 lots of OTT praise from the crazy 5 though.
