Frank Rizzo, MM Composition candidate

Today, I received a must urgent phone call from a prospective student. The transcript:

HDEZ: Hello?
FRANK RIZZO: Um, yes. I'd like to apply to your school for composition. Are you the person with whom I talk to?
HDEZ: That depends. Are you applying for undergraduate or graduate study?
RIZZO: Graduate study. You see, I compose only with 12-tones.
(Hdez briefly pauses and smiles. MagicJohnsonMadness, who is in the room, has a curious look on his face)
HDEZ: Uh...ok. Well, then you'll have to talk...
RIZZO [interrupting]: And I cannot be told to write any other way.
HDEZ [chortling]: All right then... You need to talk to Prof. Frank La...
TANK: Haha! It's me muthafucka!
(Hdez laughs uncontrollably. MagicJohnsonMadness is wondering what the hell is going on)

Tank's phone call really made my day. I had just received a phone call from Beetlebug B regarding the possibility of performing schmickery light on Monday (no way, José!). I am stressed out by Beetlebug B. Additionally, we had scholarship auditions later in the afternoon so little did he know that it was perfect timing to pull such a wonderful prank. I later relayed the story to The Rock and My Buddy Jim and they both laughed quite hard (especially when I told them about the "I cannot be told any other way"part of the story).

This all reminds me of the time tank and I drove to Houston to go see Fantasia 2000 (then only playing in IMAX). That is when we really got to know a little about each other (it was a 3hr. car ride from Austin). I got to listen to some tapes he and friends made of prank calls back in I guess 1990 or 1991. Let's just say that tank is the original Jerky Boy.

Certainly the better mood I was put in was enough to help sustain me through scholarship auditions (they weren't bad - just long).
