‘People need to shut up and have hobbies’
UPDATE: Aaron Wall from 40 Watt Hype blessed up with a remix! Listen below.
ORIGINAL POST, 10/11: We’re all aware that I tend to get some pretty interesting responses from readers, right? Well, I arrived to work today to find one of the best voicemail rants I’ve gotten in some time.
Shirley called after reading my Sunday piece about Journey singer Arnel Pineda living in the shadow of Steve Perry (Pineda and Journey play Save Mart Center on Wednesday night). She started by talking about Pineda, but as it turned out, had a lot more on her mind. Enjoy — but before you do, be warned this contains lots and lots of NSFW language.

She convinced me. I’m gonna stop spreading my legs for the sake of Journey, and America.
I think I’m going to continue to spread my legs.
However, I will accept her wisdom and get some interests. No hobbies though.
I will not NOT vote and I will continue to be cold blooded as well.
This is awesome. And ridiculous. More ridiculous then awesome. But some awesome.
‘Stop spreadin’ your legs…I’m leavin’ today….I’ll make a brand new start of it…’
Oh, Shirley, our love…holds on….holds on…
She had me at “I accept Arnel…I’ll never see my son again cuz he’s incarcerated…”
I’m sure Arnel appreciates each and every fan he has – even the cold-blooded ones wide awake and ranting at 7:20am on a Sunday.
Awesome.
That is CLASSIC. What a gem.
Fantastic.
I wonder what that bad “modern technology” did to get her son incarcerated?
Internet porn
Amazing Nail on the head! Go Shirley, tell ehm not to spread their stinky open legs.
Um…what? What? Crazy giggles at my desk because NONE of that made any sense. Again…what?
She’s called me before! She called after the extreme couponing story with a similar message. Something about don’t use splendor (Splenda) just use sugar. It included a mention of slapping the fat off someone’s @ss. I’m don’t know if I’m forgetting the context or if there never was any to begin with.
Maaann Mike!
You always get the cool stuff!
I’m convinced! I’m gonna stop spreading my legs!!!!
So much FAIL in the rant. She must be a HOOT to wait on at the grocery store:
“Did you find everything you were looking for today?”
“No, and while we’re on the subject of looking, I gotta tell you about my incarcerated son!”
Anyone else really curious why her son is in jail??
“Modern technology got my son into trouble…”
LOL…nice job, Aaron.
Decided to autotune it on Songify:

Epic failure!
O M G I am crying hysterically. First the recording itself and then all you behive responders have quite the sense of humor…this is like that make a caption game. But Travis. Travis! The tears started rolling with that song. This is beyond funny.
LMAO ~ Love both versions…hilarous! =D
shirly sounds mildly coherent in the 40 watt remix.
Hooray!
Aaron Wall FTW! This just made my day. This has viral all over it. Time to put Fresno on the map again!
