At Least I'm Not One Of Those Dudes With A High Voice. Pranks.

I was just listening to the radio and this guy named Jimmy called in. He sounded exactly like a woman. Turns out the name was Ginny not Jimmy. And good thing because he sounded exactly like a woman.

That would stink if you think about it. People call you on the phone and think you're a woman. If I had a high voice I would just make myself talk in a really deep voice. I wonder if anyone ever does that? I bet some people do and then they go back to their regular voice maybe once a year. Deep in the woods. Alone. Talking to the animals and trees. Kind of sad.

One of the best phone pranks for incoming calls (in the category of voices) is the one that my friend Flare used to do*. He has a really deep voice. I'd say he's in the 90% of deep voices.
So when telemarketers used to call him this is what would happen:

Flare: (with his really deep voice) Hello?

Telemarketer: Yes, is Mrs Flare in?

Flare: Speaking.

Telemarketer: No MRS Flare.

Flare: This IS MRS Flare. Are you.....are you saying that I sound like a woman?

Telemarketer: (flustered) Uh...no..um, the reason we're calling Mrs Flare is...

God I would love to hear that in action.

The other one he used to do was, "You uh...You want Mrs Flare?...She died yesterday".

HAHAHA. And you thought I was mean.

So Let's Hear Some Messages On The Snapvine Recorder

As I mentioned yesterday, I added the Snapvine recorder to my sidebar. If you want to hear some messages I left on other bloggers recorders, check the rap song out here. Or what I thought was an anonymous prank call here. Or the double whammy here.

Someone left a really funny one on mine about playing Bingo. I'm not sure who it was but I think it might be H. Whoever it was - excellent. So before I leave more messages I want to hear from you guys. Here are a few ideas:

- Sing a Christmas song.

- Record your thoughts while you're lying in that big, lonely bed.

- Tell me some juicy gossip about some bloggers.

- Do a crappy imitation.

- Record the fight you're having with your spouse, "Dr Zibbs this, Dr Zibbs that..I'M NOT DR ZIBBS!!! NOBODY IS!! WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS!!"

- Record the sounds from you fascinating jobs.

- Record the absurd response your preacher gives you when you ask him to explain why I can't be Jesus. Or at least the holy ghost.

Go ahead. It doesn't have to be brilliant or funny. Just think of it as another comment - unbrilliant and unfunny. Not all of you but.....you know. And don't forget to check back on the hour to hear the great messages that are going to be piling up on the SVR. OK ready.......Begin!

I've Been Outed By Technology Damn It!

..well, kind of. H from the blog It's Always Darkest Before I Open My Eyes, added a Snapvine feature to her blog. I called and left a prank phone call but didn't realize I'd be outed by my THAT BLUE YAK avatar. Oh well. I also left one on Whiskey Marie's without knowing.

And if you look on my sidebar, I've added a Snapvine gadget as well so please leave me some voice messages. Make sure to listen to the prompts at the end because you can edit your messages after you get all nervous and screw up the first few times.

Maybe I'll have a contest later asking people to do various imitations on the Snapvine recorder...yeah...I'm totally gonna do that. Or sing or something. Yeah. Maybe that too.

You can add the Snapvine voice command to your sidebar in less than five minutes so you might as well do it. Imagine the possibility of getting a message from me? Yup. The future is here. Today. Now excuse me while I call my butler to whip me up a batch of refreshing Tang.

Enough With the Phone Calls

OK people. You've crashed our system. We know you want a new blog post but blogger isn't letting us post the picture that is needed for the unbelievable post we just wrote. So you'll have to wait. So please, stop calling. Our phone ladies are already stressed from my constant berating.
