I used to get lewd phone calls back when I was a military instructor. Male students would get instructors' home numbers from the phone book and put their girlfriends up to making the calls. You may have to look beyond the caller to find the real prankster.

When I was in middle school or so, I remember going over to a friend's house to do homework, and we wound up going through the phone book, looking for funny names. Then we would call them and make some lame comment about their names while giggling and then hang up. We were wild and crazy back then. No stopping us.

In college we'd look in the directory for foreign names (during International Week) and call their phone and my friend Pat would say "Happy International Week. Oogla Boogla!"

We were awful.

@glatt: Unstoppable!

Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

We could call Sheldon and ask if he'd like Prince Albert in the can or if He's ever had Prince Albert in the can?

Well, someone from your chem class who knew your name could certainly look you up in the white pages too. It's creepy however you look at it.

Been thinking of some phrases I would have REALLY liked to hear right before I went under before my surgery. Here is my favorite I've thought of so far tho:
"Patient 1: administering the Hyde formula now. When she wakes up she will remember nothing of her drinking, whoring, gambling or violent actions.....note: patient seems to be predisposed to these behaviors already."

I thought I'd just put this here cause I couldn't really think of where else to put it, and didn't really want to start a new thread.

It's been a really long week and we're all exhausted around here. Dazza's Mum passed away last Tuesday, and the funeral was on Friday which also happened to be my birthday, so it kinda got a bit forgotten really. Dazza had no siblings, so it was up to us to organise and host the funeral and wake, which basically meant that I had to sort most of it out because Dazza was incapable of coherent thought.

So anyway, thanks to those who wished me the best for my birthday. We've got a long way to go here yet, but we'll get there.

Moderate thunderstorm. Couple close strikes. Passed by. Sun came out. Birds chirping. And THEN the power goes out.

That was 4 hours ago and now I'm sitting here in the dark.

Weirdest thing happened this morning.

I was cutting through the empty mail room by the loading dock coming into the building. I came into the small room, walked four paces to the opposite door, opened it, and heard all these coins falling on the floor.

I glanced back, and saw a handful of change still rolling around on the floor in the far corner, away from both doors I had just used. I was the only person in the room. I had no change in my pockets that might have fallen out.

I walked back over to that corner and picked up 40 cents in nickels and a couple dimes. The only thing I can figure is that there were a couple tiny mail slots, and some unseen and unheard person on the other side of the wall had shoved a handful of change out one of those slots. Or maybe it had something to do with the vending machine in there. The room is small enough that when you open a door fast, it would affect the air pressure in there.

Bizarre. Ghosts are throwing change at me.

Dude, you're lucky. My ghosts only cast aspersions at me.

That is truly bizarre. You should buy the ghosts a piece of candy and place it near where the money came from.

No change this morning. The ghosts need 45 more cents before I can buy a candy bar from the machine for them.

I just remembered THIS:

Quote:
She throws back her hair and she shows you her mouth
The breath that I waste trying to ruin your life
Beauty's on a budget but you take it on the chin
'Cause you have to do your duty taking orders from the kingpin

Chorus:
You've got a chemistry class, I want a piece of your mind
You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine
Are you ready for the final solution? Oh Oh

They chopped you up in butcher's school
Threw you out of the academy of garbage
You'll be a joker all your life
A student at the comedy college
People pleasing people pleasing people like you
You've been around so long but you still don't know what to do

(Chorus)

Sparks are flying from electrical pylons
Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons
Ready to experiment, you're ready to be burned
If it wasn't for some accidents then some would never ever learn

(Chorus)
