The new phone book's here!! The new phone book's here!!


We just got them delivered to our office (and home last week) and just like EVERY time in the last 29 years, I had to yell it out!

Am I the only one??

reply

No.... but I always check to see if my names in the new book, now how sad is that?


I hear voices, they say go home, go to bed early, but I always ignore them, and carry on killing.

Your name in PRINT!

Things are going to start happening to you now!



There, daddy, do I get a gold star?

reply

No, djopdyke, you're not the only one. I do it every time a new phone book shows up in the mail box. Where we live, we get two a year. I get to be a "jerk" twice per year. LOL

reply

I do it too. Love it.

You're not the only one, and, sadder still, I still think it's funny every time I say it. :(

reply

Same here. I always get excited when I see the new phone book in the driveway. I'll grab it, hold it over my head, jump around, and re-enact the scene from the movie. I have gotten some funny looks from people in my life who aren't familiar with the movie or have never seen me do it before. "Things are going to start happening to me now!"

I would rather have my name tatooed on Patty Bernstein's a$$. That's been seen by more people than the telephone book.

Always my favorite day of the year. I say it every time.

Yes, I do it too! And I check to see my name in it.

iwals...sounds like the typical average run of the mill random bastard.

I always think of this scene when I think of Facebook.

When I got my first apartment with phone and the new phone books came out months later I went wild, let's just keep it at that.
