At 6:34 PM on a Monday in October, I pretty much ALWAYS feel like beaching it. And I pretty much NEVER actually do so.
Do you want me to make you some thing out of paper mache?

See, one per day is a more appropriate texting frequency. Let this be a lesson to you, 360. And, yes, 815, I would love if you would make me something out of papier mache. A castle would be ideal, thank you.

Hey did u get out of schull already?
from a 360 phone number, Wednesday, October 15, 5:12 PM

Over the past 24 hours, 360 learned how to type "ugly" correctly, and I nearly threw my phone out the window. Can you please be a little more selective in what you text Leila, 360? The sheer quantity is exhausting.

Now it's 360's turn. Reclaiming the word for nimrods everywhere. Right on, 360. This has been a weekend of reclaiming.

Maybe 843 meant "the race"? A race is a thing that someone may or may not finish.

First of all, this is the randomest list EVER of things to want from someone. I mean, "lap dance"? What is that doing in here?

Furthermore, I think the way this is supposed to work is that everyone to whom you forward this texts you back with a number. But at the point where they're doing that, can't they text you back with an actual word? Isn't it as easy (and more accurate) to send a text asking, "What do you want from me?" thus leaving them the open-ended opportunity to text back, "The book I loaned you," or, "Your rosy complexion," or "A baby"?

I guess it's not okay to send someone a text message saying, "I want you to give me a lap dance," but it's totally fine to send them a text message saying, "7."
Hi bitch!
from an 832 phone number, Saturday, October 11, 12:27 AM

832 is 'reclaiming' the word from its negative connotations. Way to stand up for womyn, 832.
