Has anyone tried this yet? I really would like to try this, but have not that much money to spend on a long distance call:(

Open up your freezer and have a little conversation with the trays. It’s as silly and will save you a few bucks.

You have to take the trays out first, or the ice won’t be dying.

If you really want to make the ice cubes talk, you can threaten them with a butane lighter or a blowtorch. It’s not pretty, but it works.
Also, I have opened up an email and Paypal account for a bag of frozen peas which I plan on defrosting later today. If sparemoney@sillyass.net receives at least $200.00 USD by 3:00 PM EST today, I will leave the bag of peas in the freezer for another year.

I called the glacier and it asked me if I was interested in a lucrative money making opportunity. I quickly hung up.

This is just a bit ridiculous don’t you think? Then again it does in a sense make one aware of the disappearance of our glaciers.

silly, yes….but strangely cathartic in a weird sense…..not that i’ve called, but i can imagine calling and saying “i’m sorry.”

I called and I said, “see you in my Diet Coke in a few years”…

I tried talking to it, but it seemed so cold and distant and unresponsive…….

Wow, before the Internet this kind of pointless stunt would be called stupid. Now it’s “art”.
Funny comments though, and Paul, please, please someone thinks of the frozen peas!

You can ask the iceberg if it has any skeleton in its closet.

I think I’ll just save on my long-distance bill, and just try talking to my ex-husband instead. I’d get the same frosty reception, and probably the cold shoulder as well.

You can hear what it sounds like at this link. They called it and recorded 60 seconds of it

Scientist - thanks for the link!
I figured it sounded like a cross between a babbling brook and having your house jacked up. Turns it out it’s pretty much the former.

Got through. It sounded too weird. Got scared. Hung up.
A good night, I must say.

@ Tim Mosley:
That had to the funniest thing I’ve read today.
It’s ok buddy…perhaps in the future we will be able to get you through to a Volcano who need a good talking too.

All your comments are funny but I thought art was about making people think about something different -has got you all talking, would you have been saying so much if this artist had hung a ‘painting’ at her final year show at Slade - great imagination well done katie
