That would be a cool number to have. But I don't think I'd like everyone else dialing it just to see if Jenny is going to answer.

I had a friend that worked at a local ISP, and one of their dial-in numbers was 251-867-5309. They re-routed that number to a telephone. People from all over the country were calling that number, and asked to speak to Jenny!

I wish I had that kind of time on my hands.

Is it even a real auction? I realize it is right now, but I wonder if E-bay will shut it down just like they do when you try to sell a kidney or something.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.

Hold on a minute, how did Brett stumble across this?
Did Tommy TuTone get nostalgic after foregoing music to
become a tenacious Yak?
This couldn't have been random, could it X002548? Or should I
say Mr.'Tone.

867 5309 Probably has some deeper meaning.

Take the letters associated with these numbers on a Cellphones Keypad.
This number could probably make up a word or phrase.

Well I have written code to return all the different possibilities (Brett or NR can probably do this in one line of code).

OK so there were 12800 different possibilities and row number
5793 had the phrase TOP 5 FOX (I'm sure this must mean something)

If someone has time on their hands, they can maybe go through the other 12799 or write some code to spellcheck the results and filter out only valid words or phrases.



Guys I think I'm onto something. A conspirecy Theory maybe

It better because it definitely will be some time before this song leaves my head.

Thanks for the memories flashbacks.

Some better tunes to get stuck in your head

http://www.margaritaville.com/discography/meetme1.htm

quote:


You know I could have worked the rigs when the money was big Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad
And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree
Buyin' time till things were not so bad
But when I got a guitar found a job in a bar, playin' acid rock til I was numb
Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come.

Chorus:
We are the people they couldn't figure out
We are the people our parents warned us about

Ebay pulled the auction....

The news said something about the numbers belonging to the phone company, and it is just on loan to the user...

Man what won't people sell...

They seem to be cut from the same bolt of sail cloth. Whenever I hear Jimmy Buffet I think of this Pat guy too.
I used to race sailboats on the Great Lakes. Usually pretty big crews of 10 or more, and the gang would often go to a bar somewhere to see Pat Daily; whether timed with a regatta, or boat move, or just something local set up. Good parties as I remember but I started doing this when I was underage so any large amount of liquour made the musical act memorable. I don't think I've ever been to a J. Buffet concert. An old boss of mine used to like to listen to him as did a fair amount of the folks I would sail with.
