I really need to be recording this shit. I call in and talk through the robo prompts (that are manned by live people) for a while, long enough to get them invested with their time. Then I say something dirty or stupid. At this point, the robo voice button pushers either hang up on me or they play along. Shit gets down right hilarious. Especially if they put me through to a live advisor after I give them a fake name like Manmeat McNuggins. Then the Indian advisor has to repeat the name back to me. Fucking perfect, I love fucking with scamming cocksuckers and if nothing else, wasting their time.

There's been a recent wave of scam calls going around lately. And there's perhaps nothing I love more than fucking with these people. So far in the past week or so I've received calls from these numbers. All offering the same FREE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM!!! Who could pass up a FREE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM??? NOT ME!!!!

720-907-1398
802-732-9513
206-946-9842

So if you want a FREE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM just give them a call. It seems they have some incoming call avoidance in place where they have a fake recording that says the number you've called has been disconnected but it's clearly bogus. I've managed to get through after a few days of trying. First time I tried calling I was able to get through fine and I made it through the robo voice to a real lady. I gave her my real name, Cock N'Balls, and she tried repeating it back to me but clearly didn't understand what I was saying. When she asked where I lived, I told her my real address, Cock and Balls, then the thought I was playing around and hung up on me and immediately blocked my number from calling back but I just got through so I guess that expires after a while.

Anyway, if you know of any fun games to have with these people, have at it.

UPDATE:
So I just got a call from this number 214-447-7468. The company claimed to be Alliance Security. I made it all the way to giving them billing information over the phone before they hung up on me.

UPDATE #2
Apparently Alliance is a real company? Anyway I just gave them the address to city hall, went through all the motions and they're supposedly sending a guy out to do the initial consultation tonight. THIS IS AWESOME. How many fake appointments can we set up????
Just got another GOOD ONE today. These people called me. I called them back and got on the line with someone right away. I managed to keep them on for 30 minutes before the guy got frustrated and hung up on me.

508-924-4357

CALL THEM TODAY FOR YOUR FREE REWARD!

You should tape it and put it on youtube, people love this stuff. Just watch comedian Tom Mabe's vids on the same thing!

Sub, remember that big cathedral we found in Minneapolis with the crazy ramp jutting out of it? Apparently it was for a badass ice-skating race.

We were driving around 1am or something and saw the cathedral in the distance, its spires vanishing into the fog. It looked so fucking rad we had to get a close look. That's when we found the weird ramp thing. The cathedral is not abandoned or anything, just really badass looking. no pics.

I'd give almost anything to be on the survey teams for the Oroville Spillway! Hydrologist, geomorphologist, geologist, engineer wet dream... or nightmare.

I found a cave a few years ago but never made a return trip back to it. It's a long ass hike and usually too wet for bicycling so I just never bothered. I finally decided to make the return trip on the DRZ 400

I found this second entrance that I never knew existed

It's a crawl in every direction

Previously I thought the only way in was to rappel into these crevices

^ Sweet! I too found a cave this weekend. Inside is a crawl but it does open up a bit, and it can accumulate pools of water after rain. Panic! might recognize this...
