"Dick's soft sell approach and uncanny ability to make people feel at ease is one of his strongest attributes."

No Dick Payne No Gain?
I'll go for the 'no gain' part.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | September 21, 2006 at 05:26 PM
No Payne, no game....No d\Dick, no...wait, I'll be right back
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 05:27 PM
See Dick run. Run, Jane, run!
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 05:30 PM
I could have sworn Clean Hands saw this guy down at the free clinic.

"If you experience Dick Payne for more than four hours, or if any swelling occurs, contact your physician."

I think my motto should be " no pain no brain" after the typo's on the last post..I need to pick up a good crack habit, at least then I'll have an excuse.
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 05:35 PM
Whut?
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 05:36 PM
A shot of pennicillin (sp?) otta fix that right up.

CH, that should be CJanerun

Hey, at least he speaks English. That's a bonus these days....
Posted by: clark kent | September 21, 2006 at 05:44 PM
An extra mile? Even an extra meter would be impressive.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | September 21, 2006 at 05:59 PM
What if I overwork Dick? Will he have to change his name to Stub??
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 21, 2006 at 06:06 PM
"Dick works with a team of specialist who go the extra mile for you."
Dick will never need an extension cord.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 06:09 PM
And you will overwork Dick how?
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 06:11 PM
A plug at both ends would definitely be a suicide wire, out there in Utah.
Punkin' he'd change his name to Bliss.
Posted by: CJrun | September 21, 2006 at 06:14 PM
Does Dick have any condom...iniums for sale?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 06:14 PM
Jazzzz- I'd say "Flip this house!"
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 21, 2006 at 06:19 PM
Simul with CJ on a Dick Payne thread. Now I'm off to the free clinic.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 06:21 PM
Prolly a good idea, Annie [whoohoo] as who knows where my evil-twin wondered on ITLAP Night?

"How does Dick keep his female customers so satisfied? Volume, volume. volume!"

Abbott and Costello for the new millennium:
Costello: What's the guy's name on first base?
Abbott: What's the guy's name on second base.
Costello: I'm not asking you who's on second!
Abbott: Who's on first.
Costello: WHO'S ON FIRST?! (kicks Abbott in the crotch)
Abbott: Dick Payne!!

Dick's crack team of @ss-istants include:
Willy Turnenkov - leak specialist
Anita Ball - interior decorator

"...and it's two balls, one foul tip on Dick Payne..."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 07:43 PM
"one foul tip on Dick"
I think I need medical attention now. I snorked an M&M up into my sinus and it's stuck.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 07:49 PM
You WILL be the "dead" Pirate Chris if you keep that up. Sorry, didn't mean to say "keep that up" on this thread!
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 08:01 PM
I see the evening crew's at full stride.
If Dick had gone into medicine, his motto could be, "Get relief from Dick Payne."
Well, it could.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 08:03 PM
And if he was a urologist... Dr. Dick the ____ Doctor
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 08:12 PM
I'm not dead yet. Just fairly uncomfortable.
Wyo's making me snork again didn't help any, but I did manage to relieve myself of my candy congestion. Think Aaaaahhhhhnold at the end of Total Recall. Ow.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 08:16 PM
Sorry TDPC - better go see Dr. Cy Nuss Payne. And now I'm gonna call you my little "Sugar Snot."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 08:20 PM
That sugar will kill you every time.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 08:22 PM
For any wondering how he got his name:
"He enjoyes his work and it shows in his energy and enthusiasm."
typo theirs...

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 08:23 PM
You can call me anything you'd like, just so long as you never introduce me to any Utah real estate agents.
Sugar Snot, this is Dick Payne
Well... maybe just once
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 08:25 PM
*Hands flower of peace to Annie in shameless kissing up style*
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 08:25 PM
Thanks, Wyo - I'm allergic.
TDPC - just one question - the m&m, was it P(l)ayne or Peanu(t)s?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 08:29 PM
Yup, that's usually how it goes for me. Try to do somethin' nice, (even if it is self-serving) and face rejection again. Hmmmmmmmm.
*Offers Annie
breath mintmojito* :DPosted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 08:35 PM
Turned out to be p(l)ayne (yellow, if that matters). We keep them both mixed in a bowl, so it could have been worse.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 08:35 PM
Chris, coulda been a raisinette.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 08:39 PM
TDPC...did you use one of those gadgits like AAAAhhhhnold to cram up yer nose and pull it out?
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 08:41 PM
Wyo, NO. It could NOT have been a raisinette. Blech.
Jazzzzz, I've actually got a grabber thingy like that, but I was too chicken to actually jam it up my nose. Just lots of forceful exhaling. Good thing the kids are out - they would have thought Dad shooting M&Ms across the room with his nose was cool.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 08:46 PM
Well h3ll yeah! I'd pay to see it.
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 08:56 PM
Another bad name story--my best friend's grandfather is named Richard Hed (pronounced "head"). He prefers to go by Dick. He was in the Air Force and rose to the rank of Major. So, yes, he was known as Major Dick Hed. ISIANMTU!
Posted by: MareBear | September 21, 2006 at 09:50 PM
Wyo - thanks for the mojito.
I have mixed feelings about causing someone to snork snacks up their nose.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 09:55 PM
wouldnt almost ANYBODY with that last name at least call themselves Richard???
Posted by: Mo! Faux! | September 21, 2006 at 10:09 PM
Knew a sales rep once named Richard Head... He made it very clear from the start that he went by "Richard"
Posted by: Jazzzz | September 21, 2006 at 10:14 PM
A hearty AMEN to Mo. This guy's nuts.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 10:17 PM
did somebody say "mojito"?
Posted by: southerngirl | September 21, 2006 at 10:18 PM
*waves at wyo*
that was a close one, cowboy. ;)
Posted by: southerngirl | September 21, 2006 at 10:18 PM
sorry I'm not quicker, sg, I was talkin to my ma on the phone.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 21, 2006 at 10:33 PM
I had a professor whose name is Richard Johnson. Guess what he goes by? When he introduced himself, it took a lot to keep from saying to somebody, anybody, "Isn't that a little redundant?"
Posted by: Glix | September 21, 2006 at 10:43 PM
actually, wyo, you were quicker. ;)
Posted by: southerngirl | September 21, 2006 at 10:54 PM
A woman at my work - "Inita Johnson." Great person, with a sense of humor, of course...must be wonderful meeting a guy for the first time - "Anita Johnson, hi."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 21, 2006 at 11:14 PM
Certainly you've all heard of that female basketball player Ivana Mandic. No joke.
Posted by: Stevie W | September 21, 2006 at 11:29 PM
And of course, the famous lady proctologist, "Ophelia Rass."

No, I really wasn't kidding. I just couldn't find a good link quickly. Still can't, but here:

Dick works with a team of specialist who go the extra mile for you.

They'll even work at night to earn those nocturnal commissions.

Yo Annie -
"Does Dick have any condom...iniums for sale?"

WE DO NOT BLOG THIS SORT OF THING
But we do think there should be a website for Realtors with Funny Unusual Names.

Miriam, can you put me into a nice condom, er, I mean, condo?
Posted by: stevie w | 05:31 PM on September 1, 2006
==========================
Hmmm....wmta? (warped, of course)
Posted by: Stevie W | September 22, 2006 at 12:40 AM
wow - that must have been subliminal. When I lived in the South Bay, a developer was building condos. He put a sign in front of them - "Ocean View Condominiums." Someone very neatly painted over the end of the word and added a neat 's' so it read 'condoms.' It was up fo 3 weeks like that before they noticed.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 22, 2006 at 01:17 AM
Well being a SoCalGal, I assume you've seen how the bumper stickers for In-N-Out Burger have been easily altered to read In-N-Out Urge. They've since redsigned the stickers. I thought it was very clever myself.
(Ok Ms. 800, I know there was a grammatical error in my first sentence, but I'm too lazy to fix it).
Posted by: Stevie W | September 22, 2006 at 01:22 AM
I almost signed a purchase agreement for an ocean view condom, but I changed my mind when I read the fine print and saw I'd have to make a large balloon payment.
(Sorry. Moth-to-flame kind of thing).
Posted by: Stevie W | September 22, 2006 at 01:25 AM
Yes, I've seen them. The bumper stickers AND your grammy boo-boos. But I was busy earworming the thong thread. Jeez, that sounds naughtier than it really was.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 22, 2006 at 01:49 AM
Dick Payne loves to sell those condoms yes he does!
Dick Payne loves to sell those condoms yes he does!
He goes in with hesitation
He has fun with reservation
He comes out with some frustration
Yes he does!
Oh, yeah - that was a "NO SNACK & SNORK ZONE."

"But I was busy earworming the thong thread."
Thong girl or thong dog? If you haven't seen thong dog, I respectfully request you cast an eye (ear?) in its direction. I managed to irritate a few folks a few times, so it was a good day.
KIDDING.

My husband knew a guy in high school named Richard Payne. After graduation, he joined the army - with the rank of private. Yes, that's Private Dick Payne. I swear I'm not making this up.
Posted by: snickers | September 22, 2006 at 09:40 AM
snickers - did he ever make rank of Major?

Brown-nosing, Siouxie? Or being a brokeback airman? NTTAWWT (although the UCMJ disagrees).
