The Caller

Last night I got a horrible phone call.
Imagine that a demon had taken up telemarketing- that is what this man sounded like. His actual words were innocuous, but his voice was so scary that after a few sentences, I couldn't bear listening anymore and hung up the phone. I went to tell Mr. Cracker and he had a good laugh at my saying I'd been called by what sounded like a demon.
Today when I got home from work, he asked me if I'd heard from any demons today and started laughing again. It was him. He'd been testing out a new phone system and had used some clips from "True Lies" that he'd added distortion to.
He said it had worked so well on me last night that he'd been inspired to continue his experimental calls at work today with much pranky success.

Geeks just wanna have fun.

UPDATE:
Here's the call.
Mr. Cracker put it on his mobile phone, so he could go into people's offices, click 'send', and watch them get the recorded call -- actions I consider both geeky and dorky.
No one at work realized they were talking to a recording.

Sorry for saying this - almost - but that is pretty damn funny, and I don't consider myself a geek. Just a fan of pre-recorded prank calls. I can't wait to try it out!

Rick, you know that thing about "denial" not just being a river in Egypt?

A'ight. You got me.

But still....it IS cool, isn't it?

Please tell me it is...

Yes, it is. I love smart men.

Any chance you could capture some of the demon voice stuff and post a link?

I want to know what you think a demon sounds like....

OK, I'll ask the smart aleck for the file.

Hahahahahah.... oh my, no more please, my laringitis is going to be even worse. I already sound like Barry White trending towards Clint Eastwood... BAD Mr. Cracker, bad, bad, bad. ;P

I suppose he didn't make a video either did he?
His cell phone CAN do that can't it? I dare say that anyone would be in big trouble playing poker against him if he kept a straight face throughout that.

He always does it like that. He didn't even say anything to me about it until the next day.
I can't do that. I gotta let people know I was funny right away. ;)
