When I was a young whelp, I would pass a payphone on the way to school. Sometimes, this payphone happened to ring, and, given an excuse to delay my education, I would always answer it. The conversations were confusing, strange, lewd, banal, wonderful.

Years later, a friend and I drove to a phone booth in the middle of the desert that he had been calling for weeks, listening to it ring. I didn't get it. Eventually, it sank in, and I visited the booth a few more times during its rise to world-wide superstardom before the NPS ripped it out and destroyed it.

"So," I thought, years ago, how about something like a "phone booth of the day/week" website; the number changes every so often, people call it, people hang out at the phone itself and take calls, people submit numbers and photos, etc. Of course, someone else had already done that awhile ago. But he gave it up, and wished me luck. Then a few more years passed while I sorted my Hummel collection (by weight, and then by number of dead children depicted). So now, finally, let's see what kind of trouble we can get into here.

Hee, I called the Mojave Phone Booth, back in the day. I was caller #137 or something. I can't remember.
