Commander McBride Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I have a feeling it's all going to turn out to be part of an ad campaign at the end of it! But, I'm going with the Sagara Sosuke thing. Just c4mp t3h b4s3, I mean, hide by the door, and see what happens. Don't let the person know you see them. Just collect information and report.
Kamion Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) haha... scary... and it just shows how "un-innocent" this world has become. But I think you should be REALLY careful. I would be freaked if some scary inhuman voice said things to me on the phone. I would say it's probably someone you know, most probably your Mrs that arranged all this. Alibies from your friends and family can easily be made up. TRUST NO ONE!! PS: Are we driving Mechamaniac to madness rather than helping? hehe. Edited December 16, 2003 by Kamion
Beware of Blast Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I say just tape a box of condoms onto the door with a note that says "no ugly or fat chicks," & see what happens. What if that mysterious person happens to be Huge, Ugly, Fat and Hairy Man who doesn't like using condoms?
F-ZeroOne Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 [3) Any connection to someone with a name of JustinIf any of these things come up, then you might worry. And just what is wrong with being called Justin, hmm...? Well, I mean asides from being expected to leap around a stage in a 70s era jumpsuit screaming "I believe in a thing called love!" in a high falsetto...

Well, I mean asides from being expected to leap around a stage in a 70s era jumpsuit screaming "I believe in a thing called love!" in a high falsetto... Glad you asked, because now I can tell you about my theory that one of the Antichrist's name's is Justin. Notice it's 6-letter's long, and how many Justin's do you know in your life are evil? Putting a little more on the line, evil in the sense that publicy they seem to be decent people, but when you get to know them a little better they had some evil streak going, of various degrees. I can think of 3 off the top of my head, and when I stated this opinion to 3 other people I know, all the Justins they could think off had a good bit of evil to them as well. Just don't say I didn't give you a head's up. Edited December 16, 2003 by Wes
Sumdumgai Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Do you have any Christmas Elves lawn ornaments? I swear those things are PURE EVIL! I was at a friend's house and spent the night with a couple other friends, and we were sleeping in the living room where there was a 3-foot tall elf lawn ornament. It was holding a pad of paper in one hand, and the other was holding a pencil the way you hold a knife to stab someone with. We were trying to go to sleep when we noticed it started to move... Its arm with the pencil started to slowly move and make slow stabbing motions. Plus, its head turned to stare at us. It wasn't just me watching it. It was all three, and we asked each other at the same time if we thought it was moving. So we ended up fleeing into another room, where we pushed the lazy-boy chairs against the door and locked the glass door leading to the padio. It happened a couple other times my friends and I stayed over at his house. And we even checked it during the day to see if it had batteries or anything... BEWARE of Elf Lawn Ornaments!!!
pfunk Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Im going with the wife senerio, ,,,unless its some long lost love you put the "special" on. I had one of those, she runs into my Dad and his wife every once in a while and asks about me. She finally gave up trying to get my phone number...Yeah, and that was 12 yrs ago BTW, phsyco biatch
Californium Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Have you checked the items for secret messages? Maybe microfilm? It wouldn't be the first time an NSA courier got the wrong address.
Mechamaniac Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 Definitely not my wife, as she was sitting right next to me the first night, and was the one that called me last night and informed me of the other phone call. Also, the gifts are non-specific, like a set of dishtowels with snowmen on them, and a 2 litre bottle of Sprite. If it were crotchless panties or something like that, then I would suspect it was one of my Bitses . However, the gifts are very generic. If I can, I will get a recording of the voice tonight.
Abombz!! Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Watch out.... maybe next time is might be a kitchen knife... with some psycho holding it.
myk Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Seal off every possible entrance to your home. Arm yourself. Eat food that only comes in cans. Play with your Valkyries.... -Then call the police......
007-vf1 Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Best thing to do id to leave a letter on the door nob with a message to the elves to either stop or aske them to show themselves off..
NERV Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 make like home alone, electrify to doorknob, ice the stairs and grese the handrail, and stick some nails through the welcome mat, and any other ghetto style booby traps you can come up with
Mechmaster Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Its certainly wierd, but then isn't the whole world wierd these days? Official surveys have shown that out of a world population of some six billion there are only 7,381 normal people left on this planet. I wonder if any of them have ever visited the MW forums.
Mr March Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Hehehe, all these predictions of doom. Poor MM is probably going bonkers

Poor MM is probably going bonkers Nope, the person that's looking for trouble is more doomed than the person that's prepared for it. If someone shows up with a butcher knife, they will meet the business end of my .45
Jawjaw Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I'm with Graham - if the calls took place at the same time, keep on eye on that phone or on your front door. That sort of thing would freak me out as well but it is probably just someone having fun.
Hubert Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 put a note on the door : " please little gentle elves, bring me some valkiryes" give to this elves your santa claus list , that s all they want, put also some food maybe they give stuff to the wrong person and you are just lucky
Blaine23 Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Yeah, it's a chick thing... maybe some paid chick christmas service... But wouldn't it be much cooler if each day got creepier and creepier, until you just freaked out? Third day - An entire notebook filled with tiny writing (a la Se7en) of obsessive, fawning praise about you. Fourth day - B&W pictures of you taken during the day without your knowledge. Fifth day - Photoshop generated pictures of your head on a knight in shining armor. Sixth day - Photoshop generated pictures of your head on a black male porn star. And a lipstick kiss on the photo. Seventh day - An ugly ring with the words "you will be mine forever and ever and ever and ever" engraved on it. Eighth day - Human blood in a jar. With a note, "now you can hold even more of my heart than before" Ninth day - A baby doll wearing makeup. A note that reads, "take care of our baby! We love him so much, don't we?" Tenth day - A dead kitten. In a holiday bag. A note that reads, "take care of Mr. Sprinkles!" Eleventh day - A human finger. A note explaining that the home finger removal hurt, but that it was soooooo worth it, to make your christmas as special as possible. Twelfth day - Nothing at all.... just waiting... in your closet with a gun.

Pat Payne Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Guys, I'm all for personal safety and everything, and would also keep a firearm for personal protection if the law here allowed it, but aren't you guys perhaps being a little too paranoid? Or is living in the US really that dangerous?Anway Mechamaniac, keep us posted as to what happens. Graham Well, there is a undercurrent of paranoia, but it predates 9/11 by a LOOOOOONG time. I can remember as far back as the '80s, people were getting paranoid because some nut in Chicago had bought a number of bottles of Tylenol and then dumped poison in them and put the bottles back on the shelves. Then there's the prerennial "always check your kids' candy, because some psycho may have tampered with it" scare that seems to have finally killed trick-or-treating as we know it
jwinges Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 hhhmmmmm, maybe its your illigitimate love child from 10+ years ago. The clue's: Cheap gifts cause kids can't afford nothing. Elves are little like kids, and both have impish voices. Prerecorded computer like messages...All kids are hacker wannabees now. Use of payphone...cause mommy won't let them use hers. Result. Woman with Kid at your door on x-mas saying....DADDY! Honestly, I'm betting its your wife or one of her friends.
Anubis Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 At least since your wife already knows about it, she can help keep a lookout. Is she trained up on the .45, too, just in case? Have a buddy keep a covert eye on the payphone, if you can. If not, then I guess it is time to camo up and slueth outside seeing what's up. I would say your wife or one of her friends building up to something, but she has to see you're worked up about it, so hopefully she'll call it off if that was the case.

Yes, she's as deadly as they come. She used to like to field strip my AK, and clean it after we went shooting. But no, she's just as paranoid about it as I am, and she has even said that anyone that knows me would know that I will eventually stake them out, and catch whomever is doing it in the act, so it cannot be someone who knows me well.
Nightbat Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Paranoia isn't a bad thing,... unless you're right C'mon MM sit back, enjoy the ride, it'll probable be something you're LYAO in the end (BUT, go all out on the 12th day to find out who it is, don't let it end up an unsolved mystery)
Sumdumgai Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Maybe it's one of us in the forums! They're reading every word we type and laughing as it goes along! ... ... ... It's not me! Actually... You haven't had any bad trades or sales on Macross World with someone in your area, have you? Maybe a forum member really is screwing with you! Although if the stuff Blaine said starts coming true, I'd advise getting some kevlar. And if you do down the psycho, don't forget that if you get close to see if you've really killed them... As Ash put it: "It's a trick, get an axe!"
Keith Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 BTW, have one of your co-workers leave a note here so we can find out what happened after you dissapear. I hate lack of closure on stories
Mechamaniac Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 BTW, have one of your co-workers leave a note here so we can find out what happened after you dissapear. I hate lack of closure on stories Thanks for your concern man!
tom64ss Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 It's signed plural (elves, not elf) so I think that pretty much rules out the girl scenario (unless MM is studlier than he realizes ). Anyways, here are a couple of my guesses: -Your parents/grandparents have a sick sense of humor. -It's a really goofy couple you and your wife hang out with. -Your siblings like messing with your head. -Your wife knows how paranoid you can get and decided to have a friend help her stage this. -You're a authority figure (teacher, boss, landlord) and your subordinates (students, employees, tenants) are f-ing with you.
Jolly Rogers Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Yes, she's as deadly as they come. She used to like to field strip my AK, and clean it after we went shooting. * Foster beer commercial announcer voice * Keeper!
Agent ONE Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 The right way to handle this: Do nothing The wrong way to handle this: Load a gun The Agent ONE way to handle this: Jerk off on the door knob and set up a web cam to monitor who comes up to the door and messes their hand up. Dude, your wife is having one of her friends do this.
