How sad is this? You can have washed-up fourth-rate celebrities make phone calls for twenty bucks.

[XNASA]

1. Cool! I wanna talk to Mr. Belding.

:crazy:

[pres2032]

2. Larry Holmes is far from the bottom of the heap!

he shouldn't be doing that! what's wrong with these people?

[peekaloo]

3. Where's Dennis Miller?

What BJ but no Bear?

*harumph*

[Dookus]

28. just wait...

in two more years, you'll be able to get Dennis Miller to come clean out your gutters for 20 bucks.

[JVS]

4. Wow! Leon Spinks, Ron Palillo, Todd Bridges!

[Dookus]

17. I know...

and Christopher Atkins!

I wonder if Todd Bridges has to call collect from a jail cell? :evilgrin:

[TroubleMan]

5. It's pretty sad to see Larry Holmes on there.

The rest I hardly even know.

[pres2032]

7. I've seen him at high school football games

so he does have time on his hands. but yeah... so sad...

[DrWeird]

6. Raven has really let herself go.

Yikes.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. So sad to see John De Lancie there.

And I'm quite surprised.

I wouldn't mind a call from Erin Gray - I wonder if she does house calls?

[DS1]

9. I think twenty of us should pitch in a dollar and have Q call Q

Our Q, that is :D

[StopTheMorans]

10. nevermind, i thought this was going to be the celebrity g*ng b*ng thread

*slinks away*

[NightTrain]

11. I haven't even heard of most of those people!

And the actors' resumes are not exactly what you'd call impressive.

[2bfree]

12. That is funny as hell!

I think a call from Kato would be hilarious! I wonder how much they make doing that?

[solinvictus]

13. Russell Johnson...

Damn, I'd love to talk to The Professor from "Gilligan's Island". I have to be honest, though. It's amusing, but at the same time, if the company charges $19.95 for a phone call from these people, they're not exactly cashing big checks on this racket.

[MuseRider]

14. Not Q!

Oh nooooo. I love Q. This is a pretty sad site.

[medeak]

15. Leon Spinks and Lou Ferrigno can't even speak? n/t

[TroubleMan]

18. Yeah...are you really gonna understand what Leon's saying on the phone?

LOL

If it was a suprise call, I'd probably end up hanging up on him because I wouldn't be able to tell what he said.

Dammit, and I'm a fan of boxing, too.

[Dookus]

25. lol

read the FAQ - it tells you NOT to make the call a surprise so that the recipient doesn't hang up.

[Hans Delbrook]

16. It was sad..

I scrolled through for a while wanting to laugh but unable to. Especially when I got to the Barbie twins. I heard they had pretty serious eating disorders at one time and, I don't know exactly why, but their presence especially struck me as especially lamentable. I guess I'm making assumptions about the sort of "fan" who'd want them to call.

[Kat45]

19. What the heck is a "phone appearance"?

:shrug:

[Dookus]

20. according to the FAQ

it's a half-hour phone call for special occasions. Costs $300.

[DS1]

22. What about conference calls?

:shrug:

[DS1]

21. I took a young enterprising animator to a comic-con once, I saw

Erin Grey sitting by herself at a table, recognized her from Buck Rogers, smiled, she flashed the biggest smile back, I turned away - shy. I still kick myself for that moment.

[BigMcLargehuge]

23. WOW! I can get a call from Erin Gray!

My 13YO dreams will COME TRUE! I wonder if she is asked to dress like Wilma Deering when she makes the calls.

[Dookus]

24. I want Christopher Atkins...

but he's gotta wear the loin-cloth from Blue Lagoon.

[Doctor_J]

26. Tom Candiotti?

How can a retired baseball player from the 90's need money??

[Dookus]

27. not just need money

but be willing to earn it by taking a cut of 20 bucks.

[skypilot]

29. Richard Hatch.

Damn, about 25 years too late. There was a time when I might have scrounged up $19.95 to get a call from Richard Hatch.
