off the list

It was a joke born out of frustation.

THE TRAILER

Filming myself on speaker phone began as a way to simply document my calls.

But I ended up with something much more.

EPISODE ONE – VERIZON

A huge phone bill, you say?

Surprisingly no — most of my calls were made using toll-free numbers obligingly provided by the various companies.

EPISODE TWO – VERIZON – THE FOLLOW-UP

No, all it cost me was time. And money. And a large part of my soul.

But if some joy can be gained from my pain, one smile brought to a young child’s face, it definitely won’t have been worth it.

I’d settle for a significantly reduced pile of junk mail.

EPISODE THREE – UK LOTTERY SCAM

I don’t need the entire direct mail industry down on its knees begging my forgiveness — but seeing as how they know where I live, it would be nice.

More to come.
