ARRR HAR HAR!!! I downloaded the clip and checked out the guy's site,
and wrote him a congratulatory email.

He seems to have accumulated quite a library of prank calls, though not
all under the name of "Bob."

For those not downloading WMV files, this guy called Ted Koppel and got
on live TV as if he was "Bob Dobbs of the NY Transit Authority." He
then proceeded to relate some halfway helpful advice to people stuck in
the subways during the blackout, interspersed with at least 3 clear
plugs for his website, thanksfortakingmycall.com, which is just a
collection of prank call recordings he's done.

He goes by the handle Subgeniusyeti@yahoo.com

For all I know or knew, this is somebody I know or knew.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the goof. I just wanted to plug the
website:

http://www.thankyoufortakingmycall.com

which is pretty clogged right now. I received many emails from
viewers who stated they immediately knew what was up when they heard
the name. Hopefully I can get a few of these tapes out there. 5
bucks barely covers shipping and materials for a 30 minute sample
video tape.
