LUBAHN
So, Lubahn and I don't talk much, but we like each other. Friday he calls and leaves a sincere message, and I return the call shortly. As expected, I don't hear from him again, as his four minute phone window had expired. Why Brent do you even own a phone? You live in a drawer.

So I ask, who in this group has the oddest phone habits? Who's are the best, who's are the worst?

A) Lubahn - High, scared, or eating toast, if it's not Melissa or a weed guy from Perotti's, don't waste your time leaving a msg.
B) Mazur - Expect an enraged, screaming burst of profanity and familially charged sacreligion around 2:15 on Saturday night. As for M-F, don't call between 5am and 11pm.
C) Poortillo, Poortillo, Poortillo - He's once, twice, three times a caller. When Lee wants you, he wants you like a kid named Broderick wants hot cheetoes. Can't pick up because you're at a funeral? Portillo considers all unanswered calls a screen, so he attempts to phone bully you to answer. Like Ferris Bueller trying to wake Cameron up, ``He'll just keep calling''. He'll also call high on midday Saturdays.
D) Chambers - It's 5:11 on Tuesday. Chambers is in traffic and your phone's ringing. Nothing makes the Bone more open for convo than a little Bumper-to-bumper. This may also account for his 19 accidents, including two counts of vehicular manslaughter on a mailbox and a girl named Tim.
E) Brown - Also a traffic caller, however better known for his intense bursts of conversation during work hours. Limit work hour calls to Brown to 3 seconds. Somehow, at the end of a wound up Brown convo, you're the one sweating. Call him at a calmer time, maybe post-``me-time'' which falls, well, pretty much anytime after he ``gets off'' work. Ewww...
F) Kevin - Given our rare phone convos, I'm needing more feedback from those who chat with you more often. You don't strike me as uber-phoney (not phony) but you're quick with the text. Due to job requirements, I assume your phone habits are business oriented, meaning they have a mission and, once accomplished, Peace Out.
G) Faust - You're probably on the phone right now. This guy is gabbier than your grandma at a peanuckel party. Put the coffee on and hit mute, Faust is calling. A consistent answerer and will leave guilt-inflicting messages to inspire a return call.
H) Weiss - Is it just me or does anyone else get Poltergeist Weiss voice when you call him in AZ? Due to a defect in his abode (also known as Trail Lake fever), when he talks to you from home, his voice cracks more than when we used to say ``nards''. He is, however, available at work, a solid listener and one hell of a model Eastern European American.
H) Millbone - ``I'm not much of a phone guy''. He's not, but the boy can text. He also doesn't get to the phone much due to his commitment to slaying Jihadian carrier pidgeons named Lance.
J) Williams - Usually a return rate between 65-85%, which in IC terms, is doo-doo-teronomy. He can gab, usually about only himself, and tunes out after inquiring about the other in the exchange. He's also a ``multi-talker'' meaning he often attempts to perform other tasks while talking, such as feed meerkats, shoot skeet (get it?), and shave MC Escher images into his chest hairs.

This was fun. Lubahn is the obvious worst, but, him excluded, who do you vote for? Let's discuss. Happy Monday IC.

I vote for Portillo. When that man needs to get a hold of you, he definitely becomes a "cell phone bully".

P.S. Faust, make sure in England you do not use the word "Cell Phone", it is considered very improper and people will call you "A Stupid American" (it really did happen to me). "Mobile Phone" is the only terminology accepted in London, England.

I am going to vote for you Mr. Williams. 65-85% return rate? Maybe on your adult videos, but not phone calls. A call a week later after you have already forgetten someone left you a message does not count as a returned call. But you are pretty good at a quick text. Just remember, "you & me in '07." (or is that famous line for Stacey Bibb?)

manners smanners. i'll serve anyone a tirade after I go "local late nite". believe dat.................. shortly after The fatass formerly know as Beekeeper (now simply now as Fun Skinny Guy) moved to the home of Pandora's Box (Chicago) i decided to call him. It had been a while since we made fun of each other & got so mad we didn't talk for 4 months that I thought it was time to pour some gas on that fire. I also happened to have a 4 hour drive in front of me. Well I'll spare most of the details, but Lardo Size 68 waist was still talking in SAN MARCOS (for those not familiar with I-35, SAN MARCOS is 3 hrs south of Funky-Town) & I still hadn't said anything since the initial "what's up boyyyyy!" My cell phone was so hot it melted my ear. My left hand disintegrated in Waco & I had only my pinky & ring finger left on my right hand. I was steering my truck with the radiation coming off my phone. For whatever reason I could no longer speak english and I was trying to shut him up with a series of clicking sounds. By the grace of god his girlfriend Faust called him and Adam "Jared from Subway pre-Subway" Williams ended our conversation 10 seconds before i passed out. The experience made me go "Goth". I wear black eye shawdow with a tight black shirt and baggy black jeans everyday. I’m a social outcast. I can't stop hissing at people that make eye contact with me. I have to watch the movie the crow 3 times a day. . ......The boy could out talk a wine drunk Oprah.

Williams can't return important phone calls during Bear's games when I need to talk to him about Chicago weather!
