I am Frank on this, if it is an outside call. Our phone system shows us the name of the person calling if they are in the office, so then I say "Hi X".
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I answer my work phone with "This is Jillian", because people at my company have a very bad habit of mis-dialing people's extensions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just say "Hello" when I answer the phone. But people must have asked for me specifically if a call gets put through to me. Is that still bad?

Has anyone mentioned that Huckabee is insane?
"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This dude really just said his first name. Not "this is Bob," just "Bob." I don't know. It was weird!
Granted, when I answer an outside call, I just say my first and last names, but I swear it's different. Partly because of inflection, partly because when people are calling me, a recording has already told them where they are calling, and then they put in my extension.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Does that make him insane, tommyrot? Wrongheaded and scary, I can see. But that view seems consistent with his other views.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
