Prank Phone Calls and the absolute toolbags who make them

[Lace Neil Singer]

I knew of Shotacat, but I've never heard of pedotiger....

That's right; it was called Shotacat, but is actually a tiger. Sometimes my fingers don't type what's in my mind properly. X_x

You people spend way too much time on teh Intarwebs...

Wait. So do I. Disregard the previous statement.

Just looked pedobear up on Encyclopedia Dramatica; apparently there's a pedotiger, too.

I have to admit, I've wanted to prank call "Prince Albert in a can." And write "For a good time, call Jenny: 867-5309" on a bathroom stall. Or just put up a "Jeff Goldblum Is Watching You Poop" poster.

..curse my common sense and better judgment. <_<

As for 4chan; only thing I know about it is that someone I know megaspammed that forum with something called "pedobear." O_o

By "that forum" do you mean 4chan itself? Because it is not possible to megaspam 4chan... 4chan is the epitome of spam!

IIRC, someone is/is planning to remake Battletoads. I don't remember where I saw that, though. *shrugs* Maybe you could say,"No, but it's coming out (whenever), would you like to reserve a copy?" and then see what happens.

Just looked pedobear up on Encyclopedia Dramatica; apparently there's a pedotiger, too. Not too sure on the details of what my friend did, but think he basically just posted the same message with the picture over and over again til bannage ensued. Wish I'd saved it; it was the full length bear, big and screenstretching, with "pedobear's gonna get your children!" under it. Probably the screenstretching was the irritating bit. XD

I'd still suggest rickrolling, as anyone can learn the lyrics of the song. Maybe if Battletoads is asked for, tell them that you're sending pedobear to their house?

Idea!! You could feed any prank callers, kids that come in asking for Battle Toads, anyone that treats the store as a free arcade, anyone that uses the store as free babysitting and all other associated jackassery to pedobear.

The problem is that pedobear seems only to work on those 16 and under.

Another idea is the cluebat. I have one to keep my Airsoft team in order. The cluebat is superior to pedobear because it works on anyone and does not discriminate because of age. There are cases when application of a cluebat has also cured animals, plants and inanimate objects (i.e. computer equipment, cars, and the occasional oblivious toaster).

The directions are simple, apply directly to the forehead.
With proper use the subject gets a CLUE and decides to alter their behavior.
Repeat if necessary.

Here is a picture of one of the advance models. This model has the "Logic Nail", and "Sanity Spike", upgrades. Clue Bats also come in a ClueX4 variety.



I'm pondering the mass production of these seeing it is an election year, gas prices are higher than a kite, and the politicians are spending like... uumm.... drunken politicians. If anyone is interested tell me.

*snicker* Not like anyone would actually notice someone spamming that. But the idea's funny.

Kinda like the idiots who do nothing but flood forums with DESU posts. Desu is NOT a meme. :P

My anime club fought that by getting the guy who's last name is actually Desu to post "Yes?" after every one. Now new members are subject to approval and since it's a university affiliated club, you don't get approved unles you used your uni email address or the committee know you.

I do find it highly amusing though how widespread Rickrolling has become.

A couple of weeks ago, a radio DJ here Rickrolled his listeners! He announced a new comeback hit by Rick Astley, then played Never Gonna Give You Up.

The same guy also once played Chocolate Rain instead of the winner of that day's flashback phone-in poll.

[Lace Neil Singer]

To rickroll them, you'd need a recording of the song that you can pick up and play into the reciever on command and I doubt management would pay for something to do that.

Not necessarily; you can rickroll someone by just singing the song yourself. Would be just as effective and confuse the kiddies even more.

Hell, my store still has some PSOne games kicking around. Anybody want a still-sealed copy of Final Fantasy 8?

You wouldn't happen to have the PC version, would you ?

[XCashier]

This happened to my husband about twenty years ago:

H: Hubby
P: Prank caller who spoke in a halting voice, as if he knew he was doing something wrong.

H: <Drug Store>, this is H, can I help you?
P: Um...um...is your refrigerator running?
H: No.
P: (panicking) Oh...um--
H: But my Caller ID is. I know where you are.
P: *hangs up very quickly*

PWND!

Me: *grocery store* (I didn't do the spiel. It's 3rd, no one cares, and no one's around to enforce it on me)
Idiot: Uhh, yeah. Hi. Do you guys carry cockrings? *snicker*
Me: Yes.
Idiot:.... uhhh..... uhhhh..... *click*

Would've been really funny if he'd called a hardware store:
"We've got some faucet washers that should fit you."

[sms001]

I got this call:

Me: *grocery store*
Idiot: Uhh, yeah. Hi. Do you guys carry cockrings? *snicker*
Me: Yes. But I'm so sorry - we only carry medium and large......
Idiot:.... uhhh..... uhhhh..... *click*

Fixed
