Bakersfield Californian opera terrorists on the loose! - By N.L. Belardes

OK, not really. But maybe you can help explain this voicemail sent to me by Dane B. that the local paper received.

You never know, these Bakersfield Californian opera terrorists could explain a lot about the state of society.

    Personally I think the guy sounds like Richard Simmons on crack.

    That's just my opinion.

    I think I figured it out. He's an alien, and he's just trying to convey some kind of important message about the future! And if we don't listen, we all die!

    Every media outlet collects "tinfoil men". I used to work for a group of community weeklies, and we had a great collection of manifestos denouncing various conspiracies that were attempting to suppress the Grand Unified Solution to All the World's Problems. My favorite was the guy who could turn anybody into a genius -- all they had to do was purchase and read his vanity published book "You Are A Genius To-Day". Unfortunately the editor had dibs on the one freebie review copy we got, and (alas, hindsight) I didn't buy my own copy to add to my shelf of Psychoceramic Literature.

    He actually sounds like one of our customers and I feel bad everytime I ask him to repeat himself. By the third or fourth time he starts to get annoyed at me(go figure?) and so I apologize and say, "I'm sorry, there is just a lot of background noise coughbullshitcough and I can't quite hear you. Can you slow down and speak a little bit louder?"

    hijole! caramba!

    HUH! I'm a little confused by that whole message. I have no idea what he was talking about. Opera terrorists on the loose in Bakersfield?!

    Strange...

    Opera terrorists are sissy lala's.

    Everyone knows it's the Crystal Palace terrorists and the Symphony Terrorists you really have to worry about. Then again... the McFarland terrorists are the worst kind. Word on the streets is they are cannibals.

    You have to be careful of all kinds...

    You know, the more I listen to the audio, the more I start to think it could be a prank call from Howard Owens

    Just seeing if he still reads my blog. :)

    sounds to me like he was on a bad trip.

    He's clearly a schizophrenic. Up to you if you still want to poke fun. Heh heh.

    OK, now I'm hungry. The food at the Crystal Palace is really darn tootin' good.

    you should try to play phone tag with him just to see what else he says, then maybe if you are lucky you will get a secret decoder ring in a box of ceral and then you can decode his messages and then you can save us all from the doom that we face.
