Wow, that brings back the memories. They used to have a repository for crank phone calls, and there was a series of cranks to some bar on the east coast that got completely out of control. I remember the Beasty Boys talking and laughing about the bar crank call series in some interview. I can't confirm this, but didn't the Beasty Boys get their Cookie Puss audio from Something Awful's crank phone call repository?
