You just have to carry a .357 magnum and ask everyone that gives you a problem if they feel lucky, punk?

Someone is trolling on CL again, most likely, and using others' phone numbers as a prank. It happens in RI all the time. Half the arcade ads on CL RI are fakes.

There is a lot of infighting among arcade people in some locations... the profiteers, the collectors, and of course there are --bags of cream-filled twinkies-- in any hobby. There isn't a lot more to it than someone being a ---meecrob---.

Anyways, I have a funny story about using phony numbers in want ads:

My Boss's son comes in every once in a while and messes with one of the old timers that works here. The old guy got on his case one day, so the boss's kid decided to get revenge in a clever way. He posted an ad in the local trading journal for the old timers truck at a ridiculously good price...but with a note that says "only call after 10PM due to work schedule". He got calls at all hours of the night for 2 weeks. That was so cruel...but BRILLIANT!
