Crush...Yiff...Destroy!

I just felt like sharing this, its nothing too funny, but I think it's quite amusing.

I put my cellphone number in as the WHOIS contact for fursecution.com (which is back up, by the way, with more furryfans.com stuff). Today while I was in traffic, I get a phone call from a really weird area code that I've never seen before.

me: Hello?
them: (nothing)
me: Hello?
them: Is this the...... uh... POST OFFICE?
me: No, wrong number.
them: Okay..... (long pause) thank you.

The guy actually had to pause to come up with something to say. The whole thing just struck me as weird, since my area code is 202, which is Washington DC (Note: I do not live there, it's what I was assigned) and the guy was calling from a very different area code. You have to have some spastic fingers to misdial that badly. Plus the tone of his voice raised a bit of a flag too.

So when I get home, I type the phone number into google just to see what would happen. I wasn't expecting to find ANYTHING, but instead I find a message this guy posted to some furry mailing list with his home address, phone number, cellphone, and real name.

So, I am guessing that Mr Furry Detective is conducting some research on my domain. What he will find is a relative's address in the former USSR and the phone number for a prepaid cellphone that isn't even in my real name. I on the other hand, have all of his details. I love the internet.

I emailed him asking which post office he was trying to reach this afternoon, just to freak him out a little. :) We'll see what happens next.

You always have the best stories!

Makes you wonder what he expected to get when he called you. What, he didn't think up a response to "hello?" You'd think he would have seen that coming, considering that it's the one word that begins ALL telephone conversations.

He's probably sitting at home right now, cursing himself: "Dammit, that Subversive is a sly one. "Hello" indeed! You've won this round, my friend...BUT I'LL BE BACK!!!!"

Yeah, next time throw them the curveball of "Good Afternoon or Good Evening!"

There are people out there who answer the phone and say nothing until you say something, there whats also the "What?", "Who is this?", "Speak." and "yeah?"... tho, that may be because my current industry and Caller ID machines :)

He probably chickened out at the last second in his attempt to ask for a phone yiff. (Note: I'm using "yiff" specifically to distinguish furry phone sex from regular phone sex. Please don't beat me, massah!)

:D Thank you for sharing that. Sort of reminds of me of this Penny Arcade episode only for real. I can imagine your furry caller preping himself to give you a piece of his mind (or praise you) and suddenly losing his balls after making the call.

This was the furry equivalent of "going postal."

He replied to my emails, but the content isn't very funny. He strikes me as a very humorless fellow. :(

Here is the result I got from google, a BBQ invite to the LAFF (Lake Area Furry Friends) mailing list

And here is the email conversation. I didn't get as much as a rise out of him as I would have liked, but hopefully I got him wondering a little, like maybe if I worked for Sprint or something. :)

I miss my drunken Donny calls - but he forgets that I AM AT WORK WHILE HE IS GETTING DRUNK AND CAN NOT ANSWER THE PHONE.

Then again, drunken finns on the anwering machine is always good for some bemusement, or amusemen.

Uh guys, whoa.

IF we start like... calling this guy and what not, you'd get slammed with a stalking case. Or harassment.

It's him baiting us to respond.

That guy should be ignored. He's tryingt o start up drama to get CYD shut down.

As Admiral Ackbar says... IT'S A TRAP!!!
