I just got an obscene phone call

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

I just had an 80's flashback...

It's me again Margaret. Are you naked?

And if any of you get that reference than... I will eat my cellphone.

*clears throat*

"It was there that the vice squad with their field glasses read. The lips of that amorous man as he said: 'It's me again, Margaret....Hello? Is this Margaret? I know it's you Margaret. Wanna hear me bark like Rin Tin Tin?'"

DUDE- I'm from freakin' Missisippi. If course I know the words to this classic.

Plus, that year my uncle married my poor Aunt Margaret. She had to hear that phrase over and over and over. .

How should I feel that I am a 39 year old man and all I could think of was Judy Blume?

As for Mr. Stevens hearing him run around naked was about all I needed to hear from him.

Adult texting? They don't even need women for that. They can use one of those AI programs like "Eliza."

See text numbers, and askign to text, in adult phone sex commercials on TV.

I rarely ever watch TV any more. I get most of the shows and news online.

I'm not doubting the existence of adult texting, I just don't get the point when I thought the whole idea of phone sex lines was to at least have one hand free to uh, do your business. Or two with speakerphone.

I guess there might be people who can text with one hand. I don't know, because I rarely send texts.

Who gets off on that? Well, just ten years ago I would have asked who would have enjoyed sending texts or voicemails, as opposed to speaking directly to somebody, in everybody friendly chatting, but now...

But that's completely understandable because it adds greater practicality and simplicity. Whereas adult texting would seem to make the desired goal harder to achieve.

Plus, I find it hard to imagine that this...

ur so ht. I'm takN off my panties ryt now. u mke me so wet. O yes, do it lk that1 mor tym. Oooh, dat feels so gud

... gets anyone all hot and bothered.

I can easily imagine a sexy voice turning someone on, or even well-written poetry and prose, but text language?

I love Ray Stevens!

Does this happen a lot these days?

Sure, only now we call it trolling and it happens on message boards.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ I suppose Porn Spammers could have similar motivations.

Well, since a lot of sexual fantasies involve sexualizing everyday situations, I suppose sexy texting could be a legitimate fantasy. But I don't really see it as something with market potential. Then again, it wouldn't be the first time I've overestimated the standards of the common people.

It's probably profitable because there isn't much overhead. Might even have a computer script for part/most of it.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Sure. Like I said, you could probably train an "Eliza"-like program to do it.

Okay now for the rest of the night all I am going to be able to think about is Eliza Dushku talking dirty to me. Hey, actually that's not a bad thing is it? Off to bed....

 

[RJDiogenes]

If it was that Eliza, the message would probably be something like, "If you call me again, I'm going to come over and punch your lights out."
