Prank calling.
Remember those days?
When you picked up a phone connected to the wall, pressed down a finger at a time to complete the seven digit number, the phone started to ring, and then, ACTION! Our favorite prank call script was acting like a concerned Sears maintenance person. “Mam, this is Glenda down at Sears department store. We are doing a follow up on your fridge. Is your fridge running?” “Well, yes”, says the homeowner. “Then you’d better go catch it!” CLICK. BAHAHAHAHA.
Clearly we were destined for SNL.
We might be assuming, but with the whole smart phone situation, we feel as though no one prank calls anyone anymore? Or is there a prank call app that is flying under the radar that yours truly doesn’t know about? Come on, you can tell us!
Don’t get us wrong, we do love our smartphone, but sometimes we miss the old days! We were watching Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventures the other day and they used a payphone to call their parents. We about died! The whole having a quarter on you to make a call was annoying, but we miss the unknown. Maybe someone will be home, maybe not? Does that make sense? We just revealed how old balls am we didn’t we?
Well, if you are feeling the need to maybe bring back some prank calling today, we have a glass of liquid courage that will help you in your endeavor. Right now at this moment, Old Fashioned cocktail is our jam. We AM OBSESSED. But! With it being 4,298 degrees outside, we need this drink to keep cool longer than usual. Insert: Old Fashioned Cocktail Slushie.
We wish we would have thought of this sooner. We did make a killer Orange Mismoa Slushie last year that is making a giant come back for al fresco brunch. We're surprised Sonic hasn’t started on the booze happy hour slushie train. All the usual suspects are in this drink – bourbon, bitters, orange slice, and cherry. The only new additional is crushed ice, blend, and slurp away.
“…………………. dial tone, “Hello, this is Glenda…….”
