Phone Book Disposal
Last week I wrote about the aggravating dance I have been doing with a certain loitering phone book. Seeing that it wasn’t backing off, I decided to go forward with taking matters into my own hands. Looking back, I am not exactly proud of the ways in which I tortured the poor publication. However, in the end I think I did the right thing…
In case you didn’t notice, I have added a page to the top menu of 25toFly entitled BeccaTube. This is where I am going to house all of my vlogs for your viewing pleasure. Go check it out!

And for the record…this was like two days ago I watched it. Because it’s 10 AM and I’m definitely not drunk right now…I at least wait until noon!
Waiting until at least noon is the classy way to do it. High fives!
P.S. Are you coming to the meet-up?!
What meet-up!!?? Please, tell me more. I feel like I’ve drifted from the blogging loop this past week. I’ve been doing too much sleeping and not enough blogging!
I’m here to fill you in ma’am! http://25tofly.com/2013/03/04/blogger-meet-up-2013-update/
This made me laugh so hard. And it isn’t because I was drunk when I watched it. No, really. You’re awesome.
Thanks Nicole! I was drunk making this video, so we are even! Evenly awesome, that is.
Beautiful Blogger Award Nomination!! 🙂 http://lifeofluckybay.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/holy-shit-beautiful-blogger-award-nominations/
Your best work ever!
And you didn’t utter a word.
You make Jennifer Lawrence look like Lindsay Lohan, Becca!
Wowza! What a compliment! Thanks buddy. I had fun doing this one in a sort of different style. Mute looks good on me apparently ;).
It does! You’re cute enough – and then some – to pull it off!
I, on the other hand, have been told my entire life that I have a voice for radio – and a face.
I can’t stand the sound of my own voice. But that I think that is a pretty universal thing.
I like your voice! It has an angelic/pixeish ring to it!
Your voice is full of life, Becca, be proud of it!
Angelic. Angelic? Angelic! I’m doing better than I thought.
I can just picture your face as it adjusts to the three states of “Angelic” you used here!
🙂
Oh…death by Justin Bieber. You are wicked, Becca!
Muhahaha!
Did you know there is a number in front of the phone book that you can call and they will come pick up your phone book if you don’t want it? Also, you have really big hands. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I don’t want to give you a complex or anything, but, you know they’re huge! HF
They will come GET it? No. I did not know that. Thanks Harper! Although, I am never going to call that number. I rather enjoy disposing of them myself.
Big hands, eh? The better to type to you with ;).
They’ll come right to your door! You might get a date out of it. Never know. Your future great love could be the guy that picks up unwanted phone books. HF
If he is that humble, sure. Why not?
this could have gone on another ten minutes and not have gotten old. without getting- wouldn’t have- “ka-blammm!”
Thanks Rich, you know there were so many other ideas. I am sure there will never be a shortage. There may be a part two down the road!
If you had played Nickelback or Creed to the phone book, it would have turned into ash.
I thought about going that far, but honestly… I decided I would rather pay 99 cents for Rebecca Black.
I was going to ask about that whole…Rebecca Black thing (and why you owned it in the first place). Thanks for clearing that up for us!
I go to great lengths and endure great sacrifices for the entertainment of my blog people.
Mad skills, girl. Mad skills! Love that intro scene!
You’re the master, but I am getting there!
You said about your webcam, “I’ve been experimenting my ass off.” That’s a real shame.
It’s okay. It grows back.
Oh, you have one of those kind. No reason to worry, then.
I’m like a lizard, man…
Or a box of Kleenex.
Or a Frisbee.
Or a lizard.
Dammit! I lost.
No one is a loser on this blog Mike!
Hooray!
I’m so torn because I love this video but, on principal, I’m so mad that you lost your battle with… making it disappear magically? Making it someone else’s problem? Ok, now that I think about it, I guess torture was the best option.
Thanks Jill. As others have mentioned, I am sure to be haunted by the phone book. In approximately 6-12 months. I’ll be ready with a new approach and my camera when that time comes!
You have two cats! And they have little steps to walk up to go the toiley!
How did you video outside with you in the video?
How did you make music come out of that box?
And one other thing – I just realised the problem! The yellow pages don’t care if you chuck it – they have tehir money! The idiots are the companies who still pay for a spot in the yellow pages thinking people still look at it!!!
Genius me.
And that was a big knife!!!
You are quite impressively observant.
How I did most of the things in the video are explained simply by magic. It’s harder than it looks!
Ooh! Me likey!
Me likey too!
Just so you know, my people called Selina Gomez’s people and, after some consideration, they issued the following statement about what you did to Justin Bieber: “F#@K YEAH!”
Don’t tell anyone, but they contracted me to put this out there specifically to keep the hatred going.
*tipping imaginary hat* Job well done.
Great new equipment, and your video skills are awesome. This needs to be sent to the Academy Awards people in the category of a short film. Now let’s hear the IPhone’s side of the story. 😉
Thank you Maddie. I have been learning a lot lately. The Academy Awards can’t handle this!
I was expecting it to burst into flames with Justin Bieber. Hey, why didn’t that work?
I still haven’t figured that out Amy. It appeared to have some sort of supernatural resistance.
SCARY.
This is kind of amazing. More than kind of. I think you were relatively kind in your torture. I would’ve been all, “I want to play a game…” And give it a saw and chain its pages to the wall or something really sadistic.
Your comment made me giddy! I admit, there could have been much more dire consequences for the damn thing. However, I didn’t want to have to put a “not safe for work” disclaimer on the video. I wanted everyone to enjoy the demise of that thing.
10 cool points for the Saw reference!
That’s ten more cool points than I’ve ever had ever! It’s shaping up to be a good day.
In other news, I went in the kitchen to check on my own phone books (they’re in cabinet solitary confinement) and they’ve disappeared. Beware the power of the video.
They could sense that you have watched it. I can only assume that they became terrified and fled for dear life.
LOL, cute!! I can’t wrap my head around why they’re STILL being delivered to this day….I guess, it’s one of those things that won’t disappear….
Thank you! It’s kind of like infomercials. They will never die!
Well done, conquering the phone book. The Justin Beiber was a bit mean, but on the plus side I learned what a Justin Beiber song sounds like. I recently threw out my phone book, only to have the power go out the other day and I desperately needed said phone book. FU, universe.
I am sorry to have subjected you to the Bieber. However, I have to ask what you so desperately needed the phone book for.
Dead cell phone and no power in the middle of a snowstorm; we had to call our power company. The one time in life where I was glad to be luddite enough to still have a land line.
What is this “land line” you speak of?! 😉
It’s me and the amish over here.
Hahaaa! Love the Rick Astley approach! 😀
Thanks lady! I have never been more proud of a Rick Roll.
It took an awfully long time to find the trash can. That’s normally the first place I go with my garbage.
I was trying to avoid being wasteful, but apparently those things are indestructible. Or I just suck.
Hmmm….I don’t know. I’ve seen those huge guys hyped up on steroids rip thim in half, but other than that I think you’re right.
They cheated.
I know. There needs to be HGH testing for those guys. It’s not fair.
Hehehe. You’re so cute.
Fun read.
Oh stop it you :).
Did the cats actually do their business on the pages, or did they push it away to get at the more pleasing kitty litter?
And I’m confused…why didn’t burning it work?
No, as you can see in the shot immediately before the kitty litter attempt, they want nothing to do with the phone book either. I was just hoping that they would detest the yellow pages as much as they apparently detest the bath mat in my bathroom that they keep shitting on and actually go in the box for once.
Burning would have worked just fine, but I decided the risk of burning down my entire apartment complex just wasn’t quite worth it. Almost, but ultimately no.
Not good with matches, huh?
I could catch myself on fire lighting a candle. I am the only person in the world that is exposed to more danger by lighting a cigarette than actually smoking it.
Ha! Awesome. I kind of geeked out over your opening shot. This new webcam is niiiice.
Every time I hear that “Friday” song I think, “Is this a real song? This is a real song?”
I was geeked the whole time making this. I’ve been experimenting my ass off. Thanks for noticing!
That Friday song makes me feel physical pain Jules. I’m with you.
What? The JB torture didn’t work?!
I know. I was shocked. I was expecting it to vaporize at the first “baby.”
You know that Phone Book,,,will come back to haunt you gurl,,,,it will,,probably in about 12months!
I will be ready. Bring it on. Next time I am not going to be so nice. I’m talking busting out the wood chippers…
LOVE!!!!
But come on, Rick Astley is not the same level of torture as JB!!!!!
I just had a strong urge to Rick Roll ;).
You could always recycle it. Wink, wink.
BTW don’t smoke. It gives you wrinkles, AND you can’t have sex for nearly as long when you’re hacking up a lung!
There’s very little that can make a girl unattractive faster than her raising a cigarette to her lips.
It was supposed to signify my stress with trying to eliminate the book, but I won’t argue with you. It’s not attractive to most. Just Le Clown.
Why don’t you just focus on the phone book like everyone else.
I thought the theme was to discuss stuff you were having trouble getting rid of?
That’s why I was using its pages as alternative kitty litter. I’ll never buy Tidy Cats again!
Hahahahahaha girl you tickle me to pieces.
Becca,
It is of Le Clown’s opinion that this was also an ode to Le Clown… Justin Bieber AND smoking in the same vlog? This had Le Clown’s name all over it. And for the record, smoking is too good for the phonebook, unless smoking involves Christina Hendricks’ phone number.
Le Clown
I am glad you picked up on these things. You’re my male muse Le Clown, what can I say?
