Strange Phone Messages

In my years as a blogger, I've received some strange messages. There have been a few death threats, even a photo of Goebbel's corpse. I once received an envelope that had photo shopped pics of me inside a gay porn magazine. (At least I think they are photo shopped). But the most recent messages, which came by phone, top them all.

First came two "caller ID unknown" phone calls. I ignore those. Might be someone I owe money. But this person left messages, so I listened. The first sounded very much like someone sitting on the toilet, squeezing one out. It sounded very painful. The second was definitely a flush. 

Now those were funny.

But a few minutes later, I got a phone call from 661-748-0241. I did not pick up that call either, but listened to the message. That one sounded like a woman being assaulted or having wild sex.

I have since learned that this number is a default number for Skype users who have not set up their accounts. That "Don't hurt me" in that call worried me. The police now have it.

This is the price I pay for being a bottom-feeding blogger.
