We had just arrived at a bachelorette party in Santa Cruz on Friday afternoon when we received a curious picture message from a 208 Iowa Idaho area code -- the only picture we've ever received on our dinky, no-frills phone. Our phone had cropped the photo in such a way that we couldn't tell it was actually an image of a TV screen. The voluptuous buttocks, black leotard, and tube socks made for some good laughs for five minutes, in between champagne refills. The clutter and wood paneling in the background makes the image all the more creepy. We can't say we know anyone in Iowa Idaho, which leads us to notice how cell phones have really opened up the possibilities for the average prank caller.



wrong number.
oh my.
Oh dear, that's so CSI. That could be the last picture taken of that person before they were raped and murdered.
Hey, Columbo, 208 is Idaho. Maybe that will help. COT in the building.
sarah palin?
Thanks, Cleezy. I looked it up last night in a groggy haze. So many I states.
Signed, another I state native. (Here's a clue, the "Hoosier" state.)
I would say cell phones have closed many pranking opportunities, as evidenced by you having this person's number. Prank calls work when you can't identify the caller(/texter), no?
Jesus, I should know this one. There really needs to be solidarity amongst immigrants from the 'I' states. No longer will I be indistinguishable from an Ohioan, or an Iowan! I'm from the Northwest and I'm proud!
I wish I could say I don't know anyone in Idaho...
I would say that chick has a nice ass, but I realize that I don't know if that's a chick or a dude. Any opinions, M/F?
I think you should respond by "keeping it real" a la Dave Chapelle.
