Cold Shoulder, a phone prank

"One of the simplest forms of reality hacking is the good old-fashioned phone prank. Using the telephone can be a very cheap, convenient, and creative way to shake the torpor out of your average drone."

You might be thinking "prank calls? Really? Like the Jerky Boys or Crank Yankers?" There's a bit more nuance than that. Or at least more fun in this instance, where Carla Sinclair calls Alcor, the fine folks who froze Ted Williams head in 2002, and in what they describe as one of their finest hours, "in December 1987, when 83-year-old Dora Kent was suspended," when they preserved her head "before she deanimated." So asking to have her arms preserved is less a jerky move, and more of something worth a conversation, I think.

In the years since, there have been plenty of goofy, punny calls by Bart on The Simpsons, but also groups who gather to make or celebrate real calls that are more in the realm of unhappy mutants, making people angry for laffs. You can hide who and where you are with free services like Google Voice, for good and for ill. Make 'em laugh, or tweak some noses, but don't be a jerk about it.
