Clay Edgin Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 That's right - the new phone books are in so that means the old phonebooks have to find a new home. Hmm...I wonder where they'll go? Everyone in the office has given me their book and I'm expecting to get a half dozen more from different floors in this building. So far I've got 13 1 3/4" books to haul out of here, plus two 1 3/16" books that I already ripped this morning for fun. I feel like a kid in a candy store. What a grip nerd I am.

Sybersnott Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Clay, I thought I was nuts, but you take the cake.... uh, fruitcake that is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Dave, you should see me when I go into a supermarket now - the last thing I check for when we leave are the books. They always have a stack near the door that I can discretely put into my cart...of course, hiding them from my wife is difficult... Sybersnott, I'd respond in more depth but I can't seem to find the icon with the smiley flipping you off! lol Seriously though, California is called the land of fruits and nuts for a reason. I prefer to think I'm more nutty than fruity. Actually, if I do say so myself, I'm nuttier than a squirrel turd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalCage Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Clay, This was my cubicle last year. That job is long gone, and so are the books. Now I am extremely jealous of you. Hi, my name is Alan, and I'm a tearaholic. Alan's Cube Have a blast! Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 hehehehehe, new books again!!! I am addicted to this stuff like crazy. The guy upstairs just brought down a half dozen books and after some great coaching by Porkbone via email, I managed to rip through a 1.75" book for a big PR.

Zevich Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Call around to the local phone companies. At the end of the year, after the new ones come out, they toss out all the old ones. That would be a banaza find! Of course you might have to rent a U-Haul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I am a nurse. We replace the phone book in EVERY room in the hospital! I can tear a truckload! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarudriller Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 We need Clay to tape his version of the scene in The Jerk with Steve Martin happily crying out "The new phone books are here, the new phone books are here!" Of course Clay will then stop and demolish a couple of them Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 Funny related story of "The Jerk" - when my wife's mother packed up and left her husband during the divorce, the ONLY thing left in the house was this movie, neatly positioned in the middle of the floor so he would see it when he came home. Now it is his favorite movie! And speaking of phonebooks in movies, yesterday I was watching Spongebob with my daughter (I'm not afraid to say it!) and Sandy the Squirrel got so pissed off that she tore a phone book in half. I was pretty impressed. And a little turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorman Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Dude, the mental image of a guy your size being turned on by an animated squirrel is, er, well, um. All I can say is, it's about as weird as Bug Eyed Earl recounting a dream he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulgrim Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Today I ganked about 30 3/4 inch books from the pile at safeway -- tore 2 at the same time lengthwise in the parking lot for a PR =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarudriller Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hey Clay, PM me your address and I'll mail you a Milwaukee phone book. Better yet post it here and maybe we can send you a collection from around the country, let's see how many cities you can rip. Whatcha think?
