[.ca] Terrorists

The first in the series - collect them all!:
Seriously, if you like this type of humour, you should buy all four Touch Tone Terrorists' CDs (the fourth CD actually is called Junkyard Willie Prank Call Tapes because RePete, the fellow who does all the voices, was not happy with the word "terrorists" after what happened on September 11, 2001). This first CD was released in 1998 and is "independently distributed" - that is, it is difficult to find it in major stores, and outside the US the chances are even slimmer. Thank God for online retailers. This opening CD introduces the three main characters who feature throughout the series and also some secondary on-and-off ones. Willie is a man with a coarse voice and extremely abrupt manner (he used to be a Drill Sergeant in the Army, as you will later find out). Willie is even better developed in subsequent CDs as an angry and aggressive janitor, where he does his best to describe his latest flushing challenges. There is also Blade, a dude who is always either drunk or on drugs. Blade likes throwing up on the phone (sounds are superbly recreated, but may be a bit over the top for those on the sensitive side!). My favourite throughout the series is Jim-Bob, a retarded redneck with a bit of old-fashioned elegance about him (note how sparingly he uses profanity and his peculiar choice of swear words). I think he is also the author's favourite: there is this unmistakable flash of inspiration whenever RePete does Jim-Bob's stuttering, annoying and impatient character. I bet you'll like "Scooter's Transmissions", "City Brake" and "Scooter's Roof'n", where Jim-Bob's country charms are best represented. The CD closes with "Auto Dealership Dispute", where you never stop wonering WHY OR WHY these people keep going on and on and on arguing with unspeakably arrogant car mechanic who keeps pumping up his abuse. Why don't they just call another dealership? It is a mystery. Makes you think some customers would put up with just about anything. A superb CD. You will not regret buying it.
