It was summer, so no. But he did have little pince-nez style glasses and a big stack of books under his arm.

I don't understand. How can an English class be basically the same thing as getting a tube inserted in your --
Oh wait.

Haha, right, maybe they want to help you dial it right the next time. These things can require 2, maybe 3, people to perform correctly.

My boss gave me this phone number the other day to call about returning a defective piece of audio equipment, and when I called, the person on the other end was speaking gibberish... and FAST.

"Um... yeah I need to get a return authorization number for sending back a TEAC CD Player deck.."
"Sir, you've dialed the wrong number, this is the Bank of Montreal."

I dialed that number TWICE, and each time it was the same deal.

Apparently, one wasn't enough . . . I mean, they're just tryin to help. What if they thought you were mentally retarded or something and dialed their number randomly? Can someone assume mental disability from a wrong number?

I know a person that when he receives a wrong number call he says: "What, no Mike doesn't live here, this is the morgue." And the people who call say in a hushed voice "Oh, Ok, sorry".
Another one does the same but says Cemetery instead of morgue...

Now that there is witty humour. The kind that would pass most people by...

I get a lot of phone calls from people I know wanting to make music. I'm currently in 3 pseudo serious projects. I hardly have any time to myself anymore. Hell, even outside of that, I'm providing half the equipment for another band, and running sound for a fifth band. On top of running sound at a church.

And THEN I have to make room for socializing...........

god bless intarnet @work.

our former roommate's boyfriend tried calling the movie theater one day and just asked "um, i'm just wondering what time Hannible Rising is playing..." and it was a wrong number, apparently they yelled that they weren't the fucking movie theater or something.

hell, if i get a phone call of somebody looking for a movie time, i'd just bullshit and say it's at 7:45 and 9:15

heh.

though i think the military has decided that i'm a wrong number. i've only been called once since my college was apparently forced to give private information of students to the recruiters (some strange law) and my fiance has had like six calls. sshe tried getting into the navy a few years ago i guess but she had sculliosis as a kid and now has metal bars in her back, so the wouldent take her, but the keep calling. they called me once, i said i was a pacifist to the lady and i never got a call again...

i also went straight to the business office of the college pretty pissed that the recruiter got my cell phone number from the school, without being told they would, otherwise i wouldent have givent he school my cell phone number.

Fuck Harry Potter up his horse happy ass.

Cueing clich'e stand up material about cell phones and trusting the other guy here who does standup to not steal it:
We're so emured with our cell phones the next stop is just one of those borg headpeices. You laugh but put itunes on there and make em in diffrent colors you won't be able to keep them on the shelf.
I don't use that voice dialing cause to actually get anyone you have to say their name like you see them falling. "danny" Stanley? "No, danny" sammy?" no, danny "clarissa"" No, DAAAAAANNNNNNYYYY! Wouldn't it be funny if after all that when you did get them they were falling?
Of course this still beats having to remember numbers. Oh I don't miss that at all. bleep bloop, you got em. The only scary thing left is when you have to call a number for the first time. I hate that, having to dial with one hand and read it off a peice of paper like a cave man. But sometimes you still don't get it right. No one likes getting aroung numbers. But we're human. it happens. but the worst is when you get the wrong number and the person asks what number you were trying to reach. Stay the fuck out of my life random person. My confidence is shaken already i don't need to add paranoia to my list of troubles.

However, I met some intersting people. the lady who was behind me is Baptist and goes to Philadelphia Baptist church. She sings in the choir and teaches pre K. She was buying spray paint, CD holders, and bras. She wears Loreal eye shadow. The lady working the checkout hadn't had a break all day was scheduled to be off 30 minutes prior to my arrival. She was cursing.

I went to renew my ID yesterday, because I'm gonna be 17 on the 20th, and I shoud've renewed it whenI got 16. There was a 50m long queue coming out of the Province's People Registry, so I waited. There was a blonde woman, in here late 20s, fake blonde, and she started talking how she was a graduate from a private University, called UADE, which is mediocre, but she was all like "um, I'm sorry I've got a Bachelor's degree from a private university." Funny thing, private education here SUCKS, so the only reason you would brag about it is because you want to show the other person that you are in a better economical position. And then she continued to brag how she was from Capital, and then he looked at my young brother, who's hair looks like a nest, and said "Oh, do they let him go with that hair to school?" "Yeah, why wouldn't them?", "Oh, because my nephew goes to a private school, and he has to have short hair.
4 hours later, I was out.

Just had an argument with my dad on Social security and welfare.

I brough up social darwinism, he flipped.

No, the ban was worth it.

Let's just say, I used certain racial terms that shouldn't have been used.

I had a friend who big on an antique nazi typewriter that had an SS key. I told him to write letters to the band KISS. Who knows why that's funny?

Because you're weird?

One of those typewriters went up for sale on eBay not too long ago. JMHX was very disappointed when it slipped through his fingers.

Speaking of KISS, there's a new KISS comic coming out soon, and to promote it they're offering a $50 edition that's 30"x18" - making it the largest comic book ever printed. There's a regular $3.99 book as well, for the less adventurous.

We've already been asked to order at least one of the enormous ones.

Yeah-- AJ is something, ain't he.
We've exchanged emails... he's pretty funny, although I'm thinking this is some schtick.

I got my video card finally, and my good computer works, so I can play WoW again!
