+---------- Bizarre Answering Machine Messages  -----------+  

Actual answering machine answers recorded and verified by the International Institute of Answering Machine Answers.  

1] My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished.  

2] A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So leave a message.  

3] Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.  

4] "Hi. Now you say something."  

5] "Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep."  

6] "Hello. I am David's answering machine. What are you?"  

7] (From Japanese friend) He-lo! This is Sa-to. If you leave message, I call you soon. If you leave *sexy* message, I call sooner!  

8] "Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets."  

9] "Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows, or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you."  

10] "This is not an answering machine -this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling and a number where I can reach you, and I'll think about returning your call."  

11] "Hi. I am probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."  

12] "Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back."  

13] "If you are a burglar, then we're probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and can't come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren't home and it's safe to leave us a message."  

14] Please leave a message. However, you have the right to remain silent. Everything you say will be recorded and will be used by us.  

15] Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya. We can't pick up the phone right now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right .... real slowly. So leave a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth we'll get back to you.

missy blush

miss sixty has a new perfume out and i really like the bottle. but is it just me or does it also remind you of blush by marc jacobs or prada?

bug gulp

stefan gruber's big gulp is pretty cool. i really like the animation, it sorta of reminds me of the beatles yellow submarine.

musings

did you notice that they changed some of the talladega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby commericials? that bit when he's on 'fire' on the race track? he used to say tom cruise, and now instead he says oprah! it's still funny. but not nearly as funny! i mean, oprah is like a god to some people. but tom cruise, well, he just sorta thinks he's a god.

my mom bought white peaches yesterday at albertsons. do you kno wat the sticker on the peaches said? disney gardens! i don't kno why, but this sorta creeps me out. ..

good job

LINCOLN PARK, Mich. - A woman was wondering why she was having a hard time steering her car so she pulled into a gas station. The problem? There was a man's body wedged under her vehicle. Dominique Page, 19, apparently didn't realize she had run over the man as he lay in a Detroit street. "The young woman was the not first person to hit him," said Detroit police Sgt. Eren Stephens Bell. "He apparently was already a hit-and-run victim when she ran over him." Page discovered the body when she stopped at a gas station about two miles down the road. The Detroit News identified the victim as Edison Fowler, 43

 

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Goldilocks and the Three Bears sort of came to life when a woman came home to discover a bear in her kitchen munching on oatmeal. The bear came through an open sliding glass door looking for a meal, and found the container of oatmeal. "It sounds like a nursery rhyme, doesn't it?" West Vancouver police Sgt. Paul Skelton said. "At least we have a health-conscious bear on our hands." The bear wouldn't move when police officers came to the home, so they let him finish eating first. Once the bear was done with its meal, it left the house and headed towards a forested gully. "It ended the best it could," Skelton said

 

ALOHA, Ore. - A woman was so taken by an attractive police officer that she called 911 to have the cop come back to her home. Lorna Jeanne Dudash dialed the emergency number and told the dispatcher that he was "the cutest cop I've seen in a long time," and asked for the "cutie pie" deputy to return. When the dispatcher asked why she needed the cop to come to her home, Dudash responded, "Honey, I'm just going to be honest with you, OK? I just thought he was cute. I'm 45 years old and I'd just like to meet him again, but I don't know how to go about doing that without calling 911." Well this got Dudash a date all right, but not the one she really wanted. She was arrested on charges of misusing the emergency dispatch system.

 

PRINCETON, W.Va. - It wasn't the Princeton's police department's finest hour when two of their officers followed a man right over the edge of a cliff. The 30-year-old suspect fell over a cliff near the West Virginia Turnpike Thursday while running from police. An officer chasing the man couldn't stop himself before tumbling over the cliff after him, and a second officer jumped off the cliff and landed in a tree. The unidentified suspect suffered serious injuries, according to Princeton Police Chief W.L. Harman. Sgt. W.E. Rose, whose fall was broken by a tree, came away with some scratches and bruises. His partner, Sgt. C.T. Lowe, was not injured.
