The Jerky Boys?
Ring, Ring.Agh. Dammit...what could be so important that I have to be disturbed during the season premiere of Lost?
It was Moose.
“Hey Muley, do me a favor and call 922-#### and if a lady answers, then ask for Colin”.
Naturally I’m more suspicious than a hooker who hasn’t paid up front by the John. “Why should I, Moose…what’s the deal here”?
Moose in usual fashion simply tells me to “Just do it” like I’m in a Nike commercial. Although I can’t see him, I KNOW that he has a giant grin spread from ear to ear.
So I call.
“Hi, is Colin there” I nervously inquire?
The amount of ice in her response would have brought down the core body temperature of a small child down to 21 degrees Celsius, placing it in cardiac arrest. (Uh, that’s a joke for Jay Doss, now that I’m an expert doctor after watching the T.V. Drama “House”). I won’t soon forget her three-word response: “No, he isn’t”.
I realize that something is amiss. She sounds pissed off…as if Colin SHOULD be there but wasn’t. I feel as though Moose has just tricked me into calling this lady just to piss her off. I make a real lame excuse to get me off the line, but in reality, I just hang up the phone.
I phone back and ask Moose just what in the hell is going on. He giggles and mentions that our recently married friend is in town and left a message on Moose’s phone, stating that he could be reached at the number I just called. But clearly some signals got crossed, and Moose had called that same number twice…gotten the lady twice…and had gotten the response that Colin wasn’t there.
So he called me, instead, to “triple-check” that Colin wasn’t there. He didn’t want to look like an idiot three times over, so he had me call instead. This poor woman had received three calls, all in the span of 5 minutes, looking for some guy named Colin when no Colin was to be found…
But still…why didn’t this broad simply state that, “There is no Colin at this address”?? But I guess that’s one of life’s little mysteries.
So what is the POINT of this blog entry? It’s the fact that after I realized that I was a pawn in Moose’s game, I wanted Moose to get Paddy to call this broad and ask one simple question.
“Hey, this is Colin…do you have any messages for me”?

Nice blog entry. My question is why is Moosecock trying to call Colin Muir? I thought he was off the market.
And yes, House is a great show. Oddly enough, the surgeon I worked for this summer has done operations like the one on the show, where they cool the body down to 21 degrees and stop the heart. Except in real life, they actually have about 30 mins, not 1 minute. I'm waiting for the episode where House, Foreman and Chase tag-team Cameron.
Jay...it was Colin CAMPBELL, not Muir you queer.
