[Originally posted to alt.shenanigans] I don't know if this qualifies as a "shenanigan" or not, but last I night had some fun with an obscene phone caller! Before reading this, I have to tell you that I am a male. Having the first name Tracy leads to stuff like this happening from time to time... [ Some names have been changed to protect the ignorant ] The Scene: 3:30 in the morning, my bedroom... last night. I'm dead asleep! You hear the ringing of a the phone right behind my head on the head board. [RING] Tracy: <Blink> "Huh?" [RING] Tracy (picking up the phone): "Hello?" Mysterious Caller: (In a deep raspy voice) "I want to lick your [fill in the blanks here]"... Tracy (mind still fogged with sleep): [Silence] [Click] The phone hangs up... Tracy (looking at his caller ID system): "Cool..." I get up and jot down the phone number... This is where the fun begins! Since I am now awake and will need a few minutes to get my blood pressure back down to somewhat near normal, I decided to have fun with the obscene caller! I went down to my PC and fired it up... tossed the US Residential Phone Book CD ROM for the mid-west into the drive and did a quick search on the phone number I jotted down from the caller ID. Within seconds, I had the name and address attached to the number! Michael Smith, 837 Appletree Lane... Got it... This is going to be fun! After jotting down the information, I grab the phone... [RING] (A familiar voice answers the phone... it is the person who called me just minutes before) Michael: "Hello??" Tracy (In a well practiced "Voice of Pure Evil"(tm)): "Hello Michael, remember me? You wanted to lick me..." [CLICK] (The "VoPE" is best described as James Earl Jones having a "Bad Voice Day"...) I waited about 5 minutes... and picked the phone up again... [RING] [RING] Michael: "Uh, Hello??" Tracy (using the "VoPE" again): "837 Appletree Lane, Michael... I know where you live!" [CLICK] One more time... waiting about 5 minutes... I pick up the phone... [RING] [RING] [RING] Michael (voice a bit shaky): "He... Hello???" Tracy (once again, the "VoPE"): "I'm coming for you Michael!" <CLICK> I went back to bed... :-) I think Michael might have had trouble doing that himself! Isn't technology GRAND! :-)
