Ok, for those of you who don't know, Mark Knopfler did the score to a movie called Local Hero. It had some great instrumental on it such as "Going Home" and "Wild Theme". "Going Home" can be found on a live Dire Straits album called Alchemy and a live version of "Wild Theme" can be found on the Dire Straits Greatest Hits album.

The streak continues.

No IM convo has ever been worth posting.

I would say you should submit that to Bash.org but it's stupid and not funny so don't.

I don't know if it was the real guy, but a guy that claimed to be Mark Knopfler on some prank phone calls ended up on an album called, "Huh! I'll whoop your ass!" a few years back. These are from the same people that did all the Roy D. Mercer CDs like, "How bigga boy are ya?"

It was funny cause he calls up this guy and says, "Is Amanda there?" The guy says, "no...she's at work..." ---"when does she get off??" ---"around 12:30" ---"great...I guess I'll call back cause I'm getting pretty excited over here...." ---"Dude...that's my wife!" ---"She didn't say she was married?" ---"she's 8 months pregnant...I think I'd know!" ---"I haven't seen her in 6 months....I didn't get her pregnant. Don't try to pin it on me!" ---"Where do you wanna meet??? Where do you wanna meet???" ---"This is a prank dude!!!!" :D
