     Hi I'm Tom Ricketts (or at least that's what I call myself during
prank  calls).  Just thought I'd drop you a line and show you a few of
my calls.  I  won't have them put into *.WAV format for sometime, so I
will now shamelessly beg you to put them in the text descriptions
portion of your kick ass page.  You can also find text descriptions on
my old webpage: http://www.calweb.com/~fulda/aaa/ricketts.htm.  Here we
go...

Pinnochio:
   Late one night, after a few lame calls which got us nowhere, I came
up with a stroke of genius.  I called up every house on my block,
sounding like a confused  and frightened little boy claiming my little
dog, Pinnochio was trapped on their  roof.  To make matters worse, poor
pinnochio is diabetic and needs his insulin  shot right away!  At first,
I didn't think anyone would fall for it, but out of my entire block,
only one old lady said "I don't think so." and hung up.
 
Nothing ever gave me a greater feeling of accomplishment than seeing my 
neighbors run out of their houses one by one in their bathrobes shouting

"Pinnochio!" at the top of their lungs.  One guy actually climbed up on
his roof  looking for the dog.  You'd think someone would have caught on
after seeing  their neighbors doing the same thing.  Later, I really
spiced things up by  having my cousing (who was just visiting from out
of state and no one had seen  him before) knock on the door sniveling,
and asking if they found the dog.  Once again, out they came!
