Cell Phone Shenanigans

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I go back to my desk after lunch, my co-worker, Frank, says, "I think your cell phone rang, I heard music ..."

 

Me: "Was it "Babe" by Styx?"

 

Frank: "Yes! That's what it was! It's going to be in my head all day now ..."

 

Me: "I can think of worse things, LOL! Thanks!" *checks cell phone*

 

I'm going to slowly take over the office and get everyone brought over to DDY's songs, LOL!

I have Mr. Roboto as my ring tone. Whenever it sounds off, it's the part where the guys are singing the chorus basically in the middle and then Dennis sings, "Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto" etc, etc. At first, people around me have that weird look on their faces where they know they recognize the song, then they make the "Oh, YEAH!" face where they recognize it, and then they usually smile and nod. I've even had a few folks ask me where I got it, as if I have special permission from the group to use it. Heck, I just bought it from At&T and there are other Styx tunes available too. What's really cool is to hear other people's phones go off with music tones. You can almost put an age to them by the songs they choose. This one little boy asked me if my ring tone was The Black Eyed Peas. I told him, "No, its the Blue Nosed Beans". He didn't get it.

 

Take care,

Todd

LOL! Something tells me you and I could be partners in crime ....

 

I think Suite has Mr. Roboto as her ringtone too. I have three other Styx ones that I bought from Rogers and I'll change them from time to time just to keep my co-workers on their toes ....

 

(Bugs Bunny voice) I'm a real stinker, ain't I??

 

LOL!

I wish they had a place to download DDY singles/songs as ringtones. I would love to have Castle Walls, Boomchild (especially the opening), or Desert Moon as ringtones. That would be cool, and yes, I am a total geek. I'd also like to have Cartman's version of "Come Sail Away".

 

By the way, did you ever notice on DDY's website how many people will ask about "Dessert Moon" in letters to the crib? I think that's funny. What exactly is a "Dessert" Moon? Could that be pie? Cake? A banana split? Maybe it's some reference to a "Moon" pie?

 

Anyway...take care,

Todd

 

PS - As far as partners in crime...well, I'm just a man whose circumstance went beyond my control. At least that's my excuse. Worked for Kilroy.

Okay, I was with you up until that last sentence, LOL! Cartman just grates my last nerve. :P

 

I work in the software industry so there's plenty of geekiness around. :-)

I get a kick of that too. Maybe the Moon pie is made of green cheese so it's some sort of cheesecake? Just a guess ....

 

I actually begun to ignore the obvious spelling/grammatical errors shortly after I moved to Quebec. Some of the English errors made around here would curl your hair!!!

 

Anyway...take care,

Todd

 

You too crimester! LOL!
