Prank Calling Rules

The world of phone fuckery is not unlike the wild west. You can be noble, you can be ugly, or you can be indifferent to moral premises. If you wanna avoid being a tasteless hack, phone fuckery is about self-discipline. Generally, it's a lot like good comedy.

These grand rules are to be followed for a fun prank calling experience. Callers should follow these guidelines in most cases to ensure a safe and delicious prank calling life; however, these rules may be broken in certain cases where it may be reasonably deemed necessary. I've made special exceptions in those cases which I've deemed them most important.

1. Do not involve police or obstruct law enforcement except to forgo police excesses.

2. Do not cause significant physical damages (to people or property) with prank calls.

3. Do not threaten, especially not physically.

4. Do not call emergency hotlines or those designed with humanitarian motives.

5. Do not call those 60+ years of age who live alone. These people are at high risk of distressing phone calls. Just imagine, getting a call about your dead spouse has to be creepy.

6. Be similarly mindful of medical conditions which can put people at risk. If you're uncertain whether someone has been harmed, call back and let them know that it's just a prank. Be willing to apologize and admit mistakes.

7. Do not attempt to compile personal data except to forgo a crime.

8. Be mindful about inadvertently giving away your own information, which could subject you to harassment.

9. Limit the number of calls made to a single person/firm unless to forgo crimes.

10. When trying to forgo abuses, be mindful of collateral damage and seek to limit it.

The unspoken rule is to have fun.

Lockerian Times #7

Hello, Lockerian reader. Coming to you now on this pixelated surface to deliver an important mensaje. Today I'm pretty pissed. A while back I was notified that the Robert E Lee statue in New Orleans is being taken down due to the disruption of sensibilities in response to history. First, let me give a little background before giving my take. A debate has been occurring surrounding monuments and whether we should be desecrating them or keeping them afloat. It bears relation to the confederate flag debate. Many groups believe these things to be symbolic of the aristocratic, white power structures of the South, and their preservation throughout history.

Captive to the Power of the Mind - For the New World

FOR the peacemaker, only in death be there peace. The world can make like a nightmare as we grow to experience it. We think back to when we were ignorant, fish swimming in a pond who could not comprehend wet or dry. Ignorance is bliss. If our fingers stuck from the heat, we had ample imagination to curve a situation to our liking. The world was new and ready for exploration, not an abstract tug of war with the Demiurge. There's a world somewhere we simply dream of. Perhaps be it for hours or days, or even a minute, however the thought crosses our mind much as the existential calamity of life and death. Perhaps if the choice were even to present itself, we would choose innocence and futility over misery and responsibility.

To these thoughts I answer that we should account for the totality of our situation. We sit down and make varying assessments, dependent often on our emotions at a given time. With banal and unpleasant premises come similar conclusions. We have a predisposition towards reductionism. To have such doubts come upon us, we must see a bit of the world as it is. At least in the sense of what ails us most, we meet with a dire and painful fate. But at the same time, it is a gift to have the culture and the freedom necessary to appropriate a model to the world in front of us. When the world was seemingly new and ready for exploration, we were only projecting our minds – as we do best. As we forge on in our journey of exploring our world, we should remember that any cognizable model will not oversimplify the difficulties and the profits implicit in doing so.

While this world marked by innocence and futility likely never existed, it surely can. We perceive what it is and we somewhat unambiguously define the clues as to what this state entails. Recognize the strengths experience has given us. And also recognize the matured aspects of innocence and futility. Shine a degree of light upon all the virtues, good or unacceptable, and they may become useful indeed in living an independent and just life. For enlightenment is the key to goalmaking and achieving.

I figured today I should sit and write something, since a lot has been on my mind. This week has been the hardest in recent memory. I haven't done so much on Google Plus or anything lately, although don't blame me for having indulged a Youtube argument about religion just to feel a little good about myself. The people who support me are wonderful. And there's been an outpouring of love and support this week much befitting of you all.

When you write down sick ass dreams, more come to you. Months ago I was having a spell of good sleep and I retrieved this sick tale: Treasure Island. And no, it's not a shameless ripoff of Lost.
