Yeah but you and WW are best buds. The rest is just icing on the cake

close enough for jazz

spacebar-music.bsky.social•7 days ago

In the analogue days, I used to sometimes dial phone numbers like that, maybe getting one digit wrong (ah, close enough for jazz!) and maybe striking up a conversation with whoever answered. Just for fun.

hollyross.bsky.social•7 days ago

Some friends and I did this in the 90s, and ended up meeting the two dudes for drinks later. And they never found our bodies.

No, they were totally nice and so excited to have been invited out.

spacebar-music.bsky.social•7 days ago

Haha: glad you lived to tell the tale 😉

spacebar-music.bsky.social•7 days ago

Phone numbers used to be allocated by locality, so if you called a wrong number from your area, you were more likely to discover a connection - even closer than "6 degrees".
Anyway, who now picks up a random wrong number? Telemarketers & scam callers have spoilt the fun.

Okay, it was his third cousin twice removed on his father's side, Donna Duce.

lileldergod.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sure it wasn't Gary, the third cousin twice removed? >_>

comiccavepdx.bsky.social•7 days ago

Roy.

xenusparadox.bsky.social•7 days ago

Okay but you can imagine if she did.

arkansasmichael.bsky.social•7 days ago

You’re basically their leader.

This is killing me every time I see it. Why is it so good?

I had a memory just like yours of different circumstances, I seem to remember, yes it’s coming back to me, maybe, or maybe not, sometimes yes, many times no, I can’t recall… what was the subject again? Oh wait, I remember…

musclemonkeh.bsky.social•7 days ago

So… Fugee adjacent?

retrotonextgen.bsky.social•7 days ago

Roy Orbison was in the vicinity! Or, so I was told.

theonlygolden.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not the ol' Roy Bonaduce back rub bit! Man, if I had a nickel...

324b21.bsky.social•7 days ago

Laugh crying over here. I needed that Golden.

tabbasum.bsky.social•7 days ago

Haha, that took a wild turn! I love the way that escalated. Are you just in a fun, random mood, or is there a deeper story behind this one?

struggalo.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's like a game of rumors that went south.

badsausage.bsky.social•7 days ago

What, THE Roy Bonaduce?!

iamgoz.bsky.social•7 days ago

My disbelief just got so depressed it suspended itself

Wow! You are sooo licky! I mean lucky! I mean a bad liar. Meaning not good at a being one. 😆😂🤣

dandare69.bsky.social•7 days ago

And I saw a Partridge in a pear tree!

gwenloubser.bsky.social•7 days ago

I once knew a fact about the Fugees that I later discovered was wrong.

gailsimone.bsky.social•7 days ago

It was a Roy Bonaduce impersonator.

somewelshmook.bsky.social•7 days ago

This reminds me of that Garry Shandling joke:

I'm dating Miss Georgia.

Well, she's former Miss Georgia.

Ok, it's George Foreman.

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oddly, little-known fact: David Bowie worked as a Roy Bonaduce impersonator for a short time.

So who knows?

churlishbvillain.bsky.social•7 days ago

I heard that's what Fame was about.

ahappyhiveling.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is a true. It was in between his time as an Anthony Newley impersonator and the release of The Laughing Gnome.

robbpettit.bsky.social•7 days ago

David Bowie had to change his last name because he was David Bonaduce

hollyross.bsky.social•7 days ago

How is this banger just buried in the comments? It should shine!

mikidee.bsky.social•7 days ago

I really needed this chortle right now. ❤️

hollyross.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yay! 😄

jonpaulmaki.com•7 days ago

A Roy Bonaduce impersonator's understudy.

kevweldon.bsky.social•7 days ago

Gail it was a cardboard cutout of Roy from The Office and we all saw it

rbonne1.bsky.social•7 days ago

You sure it wasn't Seigfried Bonaduce?

markhitsthespot.bsky.social•7 days ago

Admit it, it was a Reuben Kincaid lookalike.

pretends2.bsky.social•7 days ago

😆😂🤣

developersoup.net•7 days ago

How was their impersonation?

saintnobody.bsky.social•7 days ago

I heard that Pras used to work as a Roy Bonaduce impersonator to recruit people to replace Lauren Hill in the Fugees, though.

pdavislibrarian.bsky.social•7 days ago

You had a can of Chef Boyardee, didn't you?

hollyross.bsky.social•7 days ago

I refer to what happens to my bangs in humidity, as "The Bonaducing."

herbmarselas.bsky.social•7 days ago

And, it wasn't his back.

It was his left.

Roy's all right.

emswitchdoctor.bsky.social•7 days ago

👍🤣🤣

kevinjwoods1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Is this closer than having met people who've met
FOO fighters (they opened for them)
Brenda Fraser (they worked on a film with them)
Donald Trump (not 100% sure this is true)
A random Osmond (apparently he was friendly)
Different people BTW
