I realize I should have posted these on Wednesday, but it has been a busy week. We received a handful of drunk dials from Halloween night and I would like to share two of them with you:
“Hey Assholes, We’re from Lawrence, not Topeka”, 10/31/06, 11:35 pm, Lawrence, Kansas – I actually figured out a way to record 2 calls into 1 mp3 as this returning caller called us twice on this particular night. The caller begins by explaining his inspiration to get drunk to leave a message for us, but the next morning he had to be up by 4 am to work. He said he was so hungover and out of it, he wrecked a forklift on the job which resulted in him getting fired. He tells us we are assholes for having this drunk dial hotline which led to his eventual job loss. My apologies for your job loss, but you could have waited to get drunk on a night where you did not have to work the next day. His 2nd call he takes the time to correct us that he is not from Topeka. He is from Lawrence, Kansas. For future record, I just google the area codes of the incoming drunk dials and put the town that comes up. As the caller suggests and I would agree, Lawrence is a very cool town. Not sure if it is the “Liberal capital of the Midwest”, but that works for me.
“Don’t watch American Haunting when you are drunk” 10/31/06 1:56 a.m., Eastern Kentucky – This caller slurs so much that it is almost indecipherable to hear what he is saying. After a number of listens, I figure out that he is warning people not to watch American Haunting when you are drunk as it is very scary.
