I think this may have been from my gay cousin Channing, who came out on his mission to Haiti.

He told me about this, haha.

Hey at least the Monterey Gay Teen Alliance doesn't have Jon's phone number accidentally listed as their support hotline. My husband gets some reaaaally odd calls because of that snafu.

I got a drunk dial message a few years back that I blogged because drunk dials that are the wrong number are awesome.

Surely if Jon were gay he would have much better taste in clogs... They just scream raging heterosexual husband with bad taste.

I'm guessing that guy isn't Mormon. Either that, or he is Mormon, and he was pretty darn proud of himself that he was drunk and had to let Joanie know about it.

One of the cell phone companies here in Australia has an option where you can block outgoing calls for up to four numbers, just for the evening. It's to cover your arse from making those stupid calls to your ex-boyfriend, boss, mother, etc when you are three sheets to the wind. I think it should be a standard feature in all mobile phones.

Hey there... No witty comment here. Just a request - you're popular with deaf readers too so if you can transcribe that oh-so-hilarious voice mail, it would be very much appreciated!

On the bright side, at least I don't have to wish I could poke pencils into my ears when someone does an annoying braying laugh.

I had a hard time understanding it - but isn't that annoying when people do that in the middle of the night? It's scary and so annoying if you can't get back to sleep.

I love phone pranks and ooopes. In college we used to be able to see into the boys dorm across the way at night. When they were in their kitchen, we would call their room and hang up JUST as they reached the door. We could do this over and over and they never caught on. I think with the advent of the cell phone we have lost some of the phone's original appeal.

I completely agree that cell phones and caller i.d. have essentially taken the fun out of phones. stuck in the desert in horrible arizona as a teen, i had two choices for entertainment
crank........
or
crank...calls

now that I think of it, I have two unresolved weird voicemails from the past. One with a thick Russian/Slovak accent, and one mystery guys voice who would just blurt out one word or half word when you left my friend a voicemail
huh

I got two cell phone messages at 2 & 3am a few weeks ago from this kid who thought he was calling a prostitute.
Then his sister picked up the phone and he proceded to tell her verbatim the message he had just left me. It ended with, "call this number, and if my mom answers ... uh ... you don't know me."

um, sorry that was a lot of typos .. had a kid jumping on me.

:)

You know this is why cell phones were really invented, right? Now you can call someone at all hours of the night guilt-free, and you're not to blame if they didn't turn off their phone and thought that maybe someone had died or something.

I am nearly 40, but my husband and I still get drunk dialed by our friends on the other coast from time to time. In fact, it happens just often enough that on New Year's Eve 2003, when I was home alone for the holiday and pregnant, someone attempted to prank call me at midnight. Unfortunately for them, I thought it was a friend of mine, and I played along until they got confused and hung up. Only then did I figure out my mistake. Sorry kids. Prank call me again, and I'll pretend to be totally freaked out. I promise.

I once got a message on my answering machine that went: "Theresa? I been tryin' to reach you all day....but this must be a wrong number 'cause you ain't got no answerin' machine." I played it for everyone I knew.
