And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Lately, I've been binging on videos involving people messing with phone scammers. Makes me sad that I don't have a house phone anymore. Great thing about stringing these assholes along is that no matter how much you waste their time, you'll never feel bad about it.

The Lenny videos are great for screwing with telemarketers. It's a recording of a doddering old Australian that's programmed to go off on wild tangents about his family and his hearing troubles whenever it detects pauses in conversation.

This is awesome.

If I understand it right, you can install this on your PBX with its own extension and simply forward spam callers there for fun, without having to be on the call yourself.

I want something like this for home use.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Here's some old school early celebration schadenfreude.

1994 NBA Playoffs, Reggie Miller hits a shot to go up 2 with 0.8 seconds left and bows to the Chicago crowd. Unfortunately for him, Toni Kukoc uses those 0.8 seconds to hit a game winning three.

Was the one that Pippen refused to go in for because they drew the play up for Kukoc?

Regardless, those shots were so much more exciting back then before there was a mandatory delay while the refs checked the monitors to make sure he got the shot off in time.

That is amazing. They celebrate for a good few minutes and the replay is shown several times but the Chicago crowd go ballistic at the end.

I got around telemarketers by not having a home phone in use at all.

Are they really that useful today anyway? Unless you're someone who doesn't have a cell phone for whatever reason, everyone's gonna want to call you on that anyway.

This, I've tried and failed multiple times to get my folks to use Skype but they can't get past using the landline. Besides, in the UK some numbers are free to call from a landline but not from mobile networks.

Has it? I've been pretty low on outright solicitation calls. I think it's been about 10 days since the last call that I wasn't sure about picking up, though virtually all of them are local numbers and a few have been wrong numbers or a case of mistaken identity (a guy with major debt problems changed his number without telling anyone, and I ended up being the guy who got that number with a new phone).

Probably figure that if they're going to do one illegal thing, they might as well do two. Unsolicited robocalls in general are illegal. Do not call list or not, landline or cell.

I don't know about "far smarted". I think "less drunk" is the more likely explanation.
