I’ve just bought a mobile phone. None of my friends yet know I have one, so I was wondering if any Dopers have any good ‘bizzare’ text messages that I can send to just confuse my friends?
How about:
“They’ve landed. Get to the meeting point immediately, bring all tactical gear. -M”
“Have set up in woods behind house but do not know how we’re going to make this look like an accident. Please advise. - Raoul”
“hello, beautiful/handsome”
or maybe, “um… 'scuse me… your insert whatever you like here is showing…”
or, “wake up friend’s name. the matrix has you”
sniggers evilly what fun…
ALL DONE. BYE BYE.
I still like “BATTERY LOW”, if you’re sending it to their phone or beeper. Send it every half hour.
“Disregard Previous Message”
Simple but elegant, and potentially disturbing…
“Ring-ring”
<wait a half hour>
“Ring-ring”
<wait a half hour>
“Why won’t you answer your phone?”

“Alas, Babylon!”
“Hi, Opal.”
When my wife first got a beeper with text messaging on it, it had its own email address. I used to love to send several paragraphs of total nonsense, just to imagine her sittingthere, scrolling and scrolling and scrolling…
…it only had a two line display.
“All your base are belong to us!!!”
u want baseball bat in your ass?
“SECURE LINE ACTIVE. GOOD MORNING MR PRESIDENT. PLEASE ENTER NUCLEAR CODES NOW…”
URGENT. SEND IN THE CLOWNS.

“Ground control to Major Tom …”
