HERE IS A THOUGHT

……… for those of you that want to bring out your ‘inner child’. This is a game I might/might not have played a long time ago/recently.

At about 2 o’clock in the morning pick a name at random from the local telephone directory.

Phone the number and when someone eventually drags him/herself to the phone ask “Is Carl there?” You will then be told you have the wrong number.

Wait 15 minutes and ring again. Using a different voice ask the same question. You’ll receive the same answer with possible additions.

Wait another 15 minutes and repeat the process. The answer may be very short and to the point.

Your last call, which will be answered almost immediately, you say “Hi, it’s Carl here – have I had any calls?”

Put the telephone down and collapse giggling.

Note – it is wise to block ‘Identity ID’ as this may lead to a court case …… de dum de dum de dum de dum ……….

    Have you thought of tying Olga to the rails and staging a dramatic rescue? ….. or possibly not bothering ……?

    Tsk tsk. Just another activity he confines to that back room behind the ficus tree.

    Anyone out there wanting to prove it was him… just listen carefully for some background music… ABBA… and the sound of scissors snipping pictures out of magazines.

    He really should think about looking for some volunteer work to keep him busy!

    I’ve been considering doing some charity work actually ……… perhaps helping goddesses apply their make-up or even a touch of spray tanning ………

    How do you block #’s on a mobile? ;-)

  18. Posted January 22, 2009 at 9:36 pm | Permalink

    I have been brainstorming on a dramatic rescue (or at least an attempt), but my action figure collection is waning these days-

    Join the club your Cassockness …… tee hee

    After all this bloody time, it was you…. I swear, if I ever find out where you live….

    “Carl” my fluffin’ charf, I’m going ex-disectomy…

  21. Posted January 23, 2009 at 12:16 am | Permalink

    Somn you are alive and kicking even after your disectomy!

  22. Posted January 23, 2009 at 4:19 am | Permalink

    …considering the fact I’ve a collection of ABBA mp3s that’s known by people following me; like Fracas; we know who it’s REALLY been!

    Besides, when I was a child I NEVER played this game. I’d call cross country to my grandfather and charge the call to a neighbor down the street who didn’t know the family name.

    …but I did get grounded after about three months accumulation and my parents found out. If you’re gonna do somethin’ bad, do it BIG! hehehehehe

    JohnC for the naughty step!!

    Somnambulist – it might have been you know who ……. or even …… thingy

    Angelica,
    While I haven’t been able to block them outright from calling, my T-mobile has a ’screened caller’ feature…I can select to have specific numbers NOT cause my phone to ring.

    I just found this out after getting a handful of calls from a ‘certain’ someone. Not that it was DP, I always answer his call…I even make it a point of asking him what he’s wearing.

    …gets him every time.

    DP,
    I’m not naughty, but my feet smell that way.

  26. Posted January 23, 2009 at 5:34 pm | Permalink

    ….. but everybody’s got to be a little naughty sometimes ……. surely

  27. Posted January 26, 2009 at 8:11 am | Permalink

    So THAT’S why everybody’s pissed at me. Thanks a wad. Watch your back…

  28. Posted January 26, 2009 at 4:01 pm | Permalink

    Thanks that you have not my number. I would be very cross if that happens to me.

  29. Posted January 26, 2009 at 6:33 pm | Permalink

    I bet you’re lovely when you’re cross – tee hee
