TOUJOURS COCA COLA

Do kids prank call anymore? They probably can't because of good technology and they probably don't even want to anyway because they think the pranks of our generation are just a pile of old fashioned shit. Even we started having trouble with making fake calls because caller ID came around and nerds stopped using phones in favour of newsgroups, ICQ and better walkie talkies.

I guess Jackass and Ashton Kutcher's legendary Punk'd are the new prank calls, which isn't that bad because at least it gets kids out of the house. But to be good at that kind of thing you need expensive equipment, skateboards and actors and stuff, while with prank calls all you needed was a phone book, a telephone, a pubic teen with a deepish voice, and a sense of adventure. I remember we used to call ads for people seeking band members and so many times we'd get burned because the person would be like "you sound like you're 12", which was pretty much true.

I could never manage to put together a successful prank call because I'd either laugh really hard or just feel sorry for whoever I was talking to so it never worked very well. That's why I'm going to Heaven and the Jerky Boys are going to the unemployment line!

Once we get our friend to call the manager of the grocery store a few of us worked at because the guy was a giant thumb down. Because he was such a dick he must have been accustomed to being pranked so when our friend launched into his routine, the guy didn't bite at all. It went something like this:

"Hello?"
"Yo man what up, it's Big Dog"
"Big Dog who." (said more as a statement rather than an aloof question)
"uhhhhh"

Then he hung up because the guy was onto him no problem.

We started calling guys in the phone book named 'Peter Parker' and telling them we knew they were Spiderman, but it all derailed after Andy left a message as Eddie Brock and went a bit overboard by saying "Peter, it's Eddie, we know who you are, we're going to kill you".

We called a "Ray Bourque" after he won the Stanley Cup but the lady on the phone said that he'd been dead for a few years or something.

I wish I didn't know what the Simpsons were so that this poster would make me go "whaaaaaaaaaaatttt"

In conclusion, don't ever forget about the phenomenon of p(c)rank phone calls. They were like our generation's video games when you were at some guy's house who had shit video games.
