Talk:Joybubbles

message: Since he insists he is 5 years old, doesn't that mean that he could only admit to liking phones from age 1, 2, 3, or 4: this making the information false. I think it needs a source that prooves this wrong.

thread_title: Interested in phones from age 4?

message: I seem to remember the last entry in the Minneapolis phone book in the late 1980s being something like "Zzzyzzyballooba" -- I'm not sure if that's just my own corrupted memory as it's been so long, or if that could have been the spelling of Joybubbles's line.

message: Sadly, his death has been confirmed. However, there is no information that i can find for his interment, and i am assuming that any services would have already occurred. If he is interred anywhere that the public can pay their respects to this great man, I would appreciate someone posting this info here. 
I spoke to Joybubbles' mother last night (Thursday, August 9, 2007) and confirmed the sad news; he passed awayfrom a heart attack.  He was 58.  Plapsley 17:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, which is it: based directly on him, or seemingly based partly on him? —Tamfang (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

message: I knew Joe in the mid to late 80s. He was still a phone phreak, in that he used his extraordinary auditory skills and deep knowledge of the analog phone system to play with it. He was, however, careful to not break the law, but rather, to skirt issues. We were phone phreaks, using blue boxes, Alliance teleconferences, and loops. He was an active participant, but he never committed any fraud (that I am aware of). He had a phone number that ended in 0000. He was an interesting character, but also subject to wild mood swings. At that time, the phone phreak community expanded quite a bit through the use of computer bulletin board systems, and a large number of teens/twenties were calling Joe for knowledge and to just talk about phreak stuff. However, after a period of time, a certain number of people started being mean to Joe, and he reacted badly, disconnecting himself from all of us young guys, changing his phone number. I was able to find his new phone number and call him, he was actually calm at the time but asked that I just let him be. I agreed to this and told him how I got his number and how he could prevent others from doing the same (but it would cost him getting a second phone line, and then disconnecting the first). I kept my word and heard no more of him until his death. Bobkeyes (talk) 23:58, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

message: Hiya. Not sure if this is the correct way to add a question... This is about the spelling of his first (given) name. The wiki states he was born "Josef". Most sources online seem to spell his first name with a ph rather than an f. This includes FBI paperwork made available by "Exploding the Phone" author Lapsley (https://archive.org/details/Joybubbles/dbx0370/) SomeRandomFinn (talk) 09:38, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Josef or Joseph? 

message: Per the 2007 discussion, I've changed where it said he "listened to" Mr. Rogers to "watched" Mr. Rogers. Please see the 2007 discussion (titled "Joybubbles likes to watch Mister Rogers?"), but if you still have concerns, please reply here before reverting my edit. Thanks!
