After reading several phone antics in this group, it occured to me that I 
had seen one many years ago, was not involved in it though.  I worked 
for a company that had a PA system accessable to anyone after dialing a 
4 digit number.  Several of us shared a phone in one office.  One of the 
guys dialed the PA number and handed it to the guy next to him, saying 
"It's for you."  He, in turn, would pick up the phone and go, "Hello, 
hello, hello, HELLO!"  Makes it even more hysterical to know that one 
cannot hear the PA when speaking to it.

Brilliant!  Not only do I agree that IO10781 (or Koasgii?) has
perpetrated a shenanigan here in the newsgroup, and deserves to be
added to whatever list is being kept, but I also think it's the best
one yet!  It's truly a shenanigan - if you "get" it, you think it's
funny, but can't quite see why it was worth it for the perpetrator.
At the same time, you have a sneaking suspicion that they had a much
better time doing it than you had watching it...

Too many of the recent shenanigans have been more like practical
jokes.  Some are plenty clever, but are missing the "huh?" factor.

Why bother?
Woudln't you rather just be beaten about the head with a broadrsword?

This whole Case thing has gotten far too far out of hand. I think
It's high time we all (yes, myself included) just shut up and
ignore the upper or lower case postings. Whichever ones ignore you
the most is ok with me. I myself find the uppercase postings a bit
loud, but then that's why we're here. We are here to be noticed (in
most cases not involving the police). Why else would someone go to
the trouble of making a dummy out of paper mache and throwing it
burning off the roof of a University building with a blood curdling
scream? It's not anarchy. It's just simple good clean fun. On the
other hand, it's also a mess on the lawn, so let's keep those rakes
handy. No shenanigan is worth it if it causes irreparable dammage
to the environment, your belongings, the once-pretty-sturdy rela-
tionships between you and your friends, or your police record. Oh
well, you'd think people would notice these things. *sigh*

     Just another novelty in this thing called life.

Did anyone notice the hidden message in this posting?
Guess not. Never mind.

  In front of the dorms there are telephone boxes you can use to call
your friend so he can come down and let you in the building.  These boxes
do not have handsets, they are like speakerphones.  I have obtained
the secret "what number am I calling from" code for the university phone
system, so I now have the phone number for the box in front of the
building I live in.

  If you call this number, the box will pick up and you can begin yelling
things through it (they keep the volume turned up quite high).

  The implications of this are obvious, so does anyone have any good
suggestions for what to do with this?

  We've done the yell-at-the-pizza-man kind of thing.  Also, one of the
RA's windows is right next to this phone, so we've been calling out
helpfull messages to him late at night.

  Please excuse the incoherent nature of this posting, I've been up
all night working on a term project.

My sister lived in an apartment with 4 other girls in college.  So
most people calling her would not recognize me if I answered the
phone.  One day I decided to make an answering machine message for
them that went something like this:

"Hello?"
(pause)		caller asks "Is so-and-so there?"

"Hold on, let me check..."
(LONG pause)
"No, she's not here so you better leave a message"
BEEP


Most people were really confused by this and actually thought
there was a person talking to them (despite the beep).  One
person kept asking "Hello? Hello? Are you still there? HELLO?!!"
                                                       ^^^^^
                             maybe it was Andy the cornfield cowboy :)


One drawback is you never know who is going to call -- my
sister actually got a call from an interviewer to set up a
meeting while this message was still active -- she didn't
get the job (but she probably wouldn't want to work with
someone with no sense of humor anyway :)

At an office I worked at we had four phone lines and a com line that
could buzz other offices.  The initial shenanigan was to buzz someone's
office, and when they picked up say "Wind" and then hang up.  Usually they
*thought* they knew who it was and promply "Winded" them back.

When people started getting wise, the routine became to call through the
secretary which made it seem like an outside call.  Once a guy was on the
phone with a possible new employer, got a second call and hung up on the
first call by mistake.  The second call was only one word long...

It got interesting when people started moving to other jobs.  "Wind" calls
were cheap, quick, and let the person know they weren't forgotten.

The all time classic was a long distance one to Denver.  "Tom" and "Joe" were
former Winders that had moved to the same office there.  "Betty" was Joe's
semi-secret girlfriend that had also moved on from our office.  We Winded
Tom, and he said "Wait, wait!  Betty is visiting Joe right now - get her."
He gave us Joe's home number and said she was there.

I'm sure she still doesn't know how we caught her.

Heres a good one for you.
You need a phone with IQ services (call waiting etc..)  If you have this
then you should also have the ability to dial a number, and then dial a second
number and have a three way phone chat (nice for the big long distance family)
Heres what you do.  Dail the number of victim one,click the hangup to get the 
dail tone back, quickly dial the number of victim2 (usually works best if 
they've never met), and then click the hangup again.  If all has gone well
you should hear two separate phones ringing.  Its great when they answer at
the same time.  My cousin and I did this one night for about 2 hours.  People
would say the funniest things to each other.  They would each be accusing the
other of making prank calls.  It gets even worse the 2nd or third time.
Threats of calling the cops etc...

I know of two such collections: 
The first is called "The Barney Love Tapes" and is a 7" record put
out by Vinyl Communications Records of San Diego. I have never heard
the record but I suspect that this might be what you are referring to.

The second one I have been told is far superior to TBLT, but it is 
immensely more obscure and you probably won't be able to get it. It's 
called "The Tube Bar", and it's a 12" record of a bunch of crank calls
to a bar (the Tube Bar) in the DC vicinity. The guy who keeps answering
the phone is really gullible at first, but when he figures out that he
has been taken, he launches into barrages of epithets like you've 
NEVER heard.  It was put out by the Teen Beat label of Washington DC (or
maybe Richmond VA).

And while I'm on this note, I'll make another plug for the book "Pranks!"
because one of the interviews is with this guy Mal Sharpe (some of you
may have heard of him) and they provide a transcription of one of the
funniest things I've ever read, he and a friend go into neighborhood 
businesses and confuse the hell out of people, just like some people 
on this newsgroup were talking about with the conference-call pranks...
check it out...
