If you don't do anything else today......

irratebass · 10-07-2014, 12:38 PM

Call this # 719-266-2837

You're welcome

Post what option you chose, I chose #6

pnoon · 10-07-2014, 12:44 PM

For those that are curious before they call, I googled and found this:

"December brings cold weather and dreary days, but 80s pop stars Hall & Oates have an answer for it: a Hall & Oates emergency helpline.

If you call 719-266-2837 - better known as 719-26-OATES -- you reach the Hall & Oates emergency helpline and have an option of four different songs to choose from.

The four options are: One on One, Rich Girl, Maneater, and Private Eyes.

No one knows exactly when this helpful phone line was created, but many are likely capitalizing on it now.

So if you've had a particularly bad day today, why not call and listen to the smooth 80s sounds of this awesome band. The only way it could be better is if You Make My Dreams was an option."

Best thing I have done in a while!!! I picked option #1

Not gonna call, but will admit that while I publicly ridicule their 'music', privately they are a 'guilty pleasure'.....I'm so ashamed

icehog3 · 10-07-2014, 01:37 PM

I got 8 options and "Rich Girl" wasn't one of them

dave · 10-07-2014, 01:41 PM

I just figured I wouldn't call a number I didn't know what was on the other end - (at least from my cell phone). Sort of like "here, click this link" without knowing.

Never meant to spoil the surprise.

ApexAZ · 10-07-2014, 03:42 PM

I wish I could divert certain calls to this number... Actually, maybe with google voice I can... Oh...My...God

However, since periodically the idea of a new "Rick Rolling" prank becomes vogue, I would not have called it unless Peter had put up the info.

They would not let me select a value of pi.

Wait, didn't you know that there was a Nigerian Prince at that number who would be willing to share his millions of dollars with you if you just gave him your SSN, birthdate and bank account numbers so he could do a wire transfer?

Well $hit! If I knew that, I might not have to spend the remaining 60 days at work.

Notice that he said, "at work" not "working"
