Silvana:)

That is an insane amount of meat. So far, what we know about this meal is that it will include both meatballs and also pork roast. What about bacon, Silvana? Will there be bacon? Maybe round out the meal with some lamb chops?

I been watching you

This is a lot of enthusiasm for skittles. M&Ms, okay. M&Ms I can understand; they include chocolate. But skittles? They're just gross little Starbursts, aren't they?

Some people should not be allowed to have cell phones. Meggeronies is one such person.

from a 408 phone number, Wednesday, April 28, 7:29 PM

408 sounds like a conscientious flatmate. I leave loads of wash in the washer all the time, and I don't text anyone. I just forget it.

Hi leila were are you at do you now that my naes leila boork her thum.
from a 302 phone number, Saturday, May 1, 12:48 PM

This text gets progressively more difficult to understand. "Hi Leila. Where are you at? Do you know that my name's Leila? boork her thum."

No idea.

Apples! (Dear Steve Jobs: This is your cue to send me some free merch because I'm talking up your product. YOU'RE WELCOME.)

Oh, go on, then.

from a 619 phone number, Saturday, April 24, 10:40 PM

I'd like to devote some attention to the "Freddy vs jason" sig line, but unfortunately I just can't move on from the bit where 619 is telling Leila to hurry and cum because she's waiting for her.

Hi leila what are you doing

from a 302 phone number, Saturday, April 24, 3:36 PM

Most useless sig line ever. And I encounter a LOT of useless sig lines.

from a 256 phone number, Friday, April 23, 7:30 PM

This text is alll over the place. But it includes my name twice, which I approve of, and my roommate luvs sushi, so I guess we can embrace this text message as our own.

Okay, I'll bite: What's happening in the downstairs bathroom?

from a 603 phone number, Saturday, May 1, 7:43 AM

A sign that you go to Dunkin' Donuts too much is when you refer to it as "Dunkies." Like when I talk about get hot chocolate from *$.

I had no idea going to a county fair required quite so much mathematical ability.

from a 314 phone number, Saturday, May 1, 3:11 PM

BABY MANIA! That sounds so MANIC! Anyway, it seems like everyone is having babies these days. My boss. My friend Jess. A whole bunch of Leila Texters. Must be something about the springtime. But truly, this is a season of baby mania.

Happy may dad. I brought pretty flowers 2 lolas graveside & thot of U I told her it was 4 U & corbie 2 - xox A leli
from a 303 phone number, Saturday, May 1, 4:37 PM

As usual, I am three days late to the game, but happy May to all of you, as well. I wonder who Leila was? I find this text really poignant.

Hey its bella
from a 419 phone number, Saturday, May 1, 9:32 PM

Gawd, Leila Texters, aren't we over these Twilight references yet?

from a 206 phone number, Sunday, May 2, 5:16 AM

OMG, is this referring to the ROLLER DERBY? Like Derby Girl?

from a 216 phone number, Monday, May 3, 7:33 PM

Look, I am a big believer in women's empowerment (who isn't?), but somehow this seems to be more about "216 empowerment."
