National Inane Answering Message Day

According to Holiday Insights, today is National Inane Answering Message Day. They say, “An inane message is a senseless or meaningless message, or a prank call. Or, it could be an insane message.” So I guess…call up some strangers and leave them a few messages.

And if you’re looking for a good stranger to call, I have just the person! Sarah Manolis, a 19-year-old girl from Oregon! She’s spent the past four months collecting random voice mails from strangers and posting them to her website at www.sendmeavoicemail.com. As of this writing, she’s received 679 messages from around the world. Leave her a message about anything you want, as long as it’s not obscene and doesn’t involve singing.

503-766-2959

Sarah asks that you only call once per day, since she’s got a lot of messages to filter through and wants everyone to have a turn. Be sure to visit her website and listen to the other messages that have been left.

Declaration of War

Who is the content king?We have declared a fatwa on Calimar and his new site Cal’s Content Kingdom! Our content is better than his content. Cal thinks that people want to watch user submitted videos, play old-school video games against other users, read artiCals and talk in his forums.

Our new website – www.rbcpscontentkingdom.com – lets you log into phonelosers.org, create a profile, comment on our content and instant message each other. Do you really need Cal’s Content Kingdom to entertain you with his flash video games? Do you really want to post all your emo bullshit in his blog section? The choice is clear. Don’t visit the evil empire known as Cal’s Content Kingdom. Stick with what you know and love. RBCP’s Content Kingdom.

WORDS! READ!

An announcement from my friend Joe at Mentally Incontinent (you might remember him from that insane Wal-mart revenge prank). I don’t usually do non PLA/phone/hackerish related updates, but this one is for a good cause so I’m doing it anyway. Joe & his wife are in training for a 100 mile bicycle race in Nevada for something called Team In Training, to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They’re trying to raise $10,000 and have actually managed to raise over $1,000 already. The money goes towards cancer research and you can send as little as you want. Even if you don’t want to donate, check out the site and read up on it.
