debt collection phone messages

so i got this computerized phone message for G L O R I A (as the computer spelled out the name, apparently the computer can't say the name) - trying to collect some Tom Petty Song Them Song Van Morrison Song debts from someone i haven't heard of [G L O R I A].

which reminded me of this moment at the Tom Petty concerts at the Fillmore, where he played some 20 or something shows on sequential nights. and they did that song, and it was good. and my friend who was with me had this crappy little cassette recorder, and he taped the show. didn't come out right, but
G L O R I A came out beautiful; me-recalls.

so at the end of this message, the computer says something to the effect of "If this is not you, please disregard this message". Curious.

ironic reminiscence

First, an observation. Our nation is based upon the proposition that our statutes, common law and the Constitution will not only be applied fairly between litigants, but will also be observed by the government. People will be able to rely upon the rules, usually long established, and their consistent application. This engenders respect for the law. It is a sad irony that a nation that is so dedicated to the rule of law is doing so much to undermine the respect for it. - Fred Thompson to Council for National Policy

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson, an outspoken advocate of Cuban sanctions, defended his large collection of Cuban cigars. "You know," he said, "if it's good, I smoke it." - as reported by harpers

I suppose i should remind Fred not to inhale his own smoke.

Bart and deeze nuts

thoughts on riding BART today:
was riding BART today, and remained totally entertained by a few things.

first i saw this ad campaign, and under the little fella was the caption "coming out all over San Francisco". Wow.

i took a pic of it on my phone, but can't get that pic off yet (have to figure that out still).

then a fella (who I'll describe as a wicked combination of Denis Leary (weird Halo version!), a 12 stepper recovering guy, and a jet skiers screaming malt liquored fueled voice (Sammy Hagar). He was screaming into his cell phone, which is always a treat on the bart.

i'll attempt to recreate his terrific phone conversation (reminder, this entire conversation vocalized as if the character of Bob Freber, Adrian Cronauer's make believe character, in the artillery, from 'Good Morning Vietnam', come to life [anything, just play it loud, ok?]):

Yeah!
Happy Birthday!
You awake yet? (8 am)
I'm on BART! I'm going into a tunnel! I might lose you.
A tunnel!
Yeah, I'm on BART!
I'm going home!
I'm on BART!
I'm going into a tunnel!
I might lose you.
Yeah! So happy Birthday!
Hello?
(almost impossibly louder) Hello?

::tunnel ends::

Ring-Ring.

HELLO?
Yeah, I'm on BART!
A Tunnel!

(Repeat)
I'm on the BART!

::Repeat until I depart::
