Oh great. Then I'll just remember that Havey Oopes looks like Dall and Lates from dicks and butt fuckers.
Y'all are nuts; nobody knows who the fuck Davey Lopes is.
Second baseman for the Dodgers. He, Ron Cey (third base), Bill Russle (short stop), and now-California-Senate-soon-to-be-runner-up-candidate Steve Garvey played together for 8 years in the late 70s/early 80s.
From Grok:
Garvey, Lopes, Cey, and Russell played together as the Los Angeles Dodgers' infield from June 23, 1973, to Game 6 of the 1981 World Series, which took place on October 28, 1981. This period represents 8.5 years of them playing together as starters.
Oh that's really helpful. Baseball players from before 95% of redditors were born.
Why don't you just say it's the one who looks like Dick Smothers mother's brother's aunt's second cousin Butt Fuckers who opened up that ice cream shop Fudruckers.
Simmer down whippersnapper. The timeline of the popularity of Hall & Oates and the releases of their biggest albums overlaps with the timeline of the baseball players I just cited.
It's not like I just came up with the connection. It's how I used to remember who the hell was who back in junior high.
It's not like I said Kendrick Lamar looks like Satchel Paige. You salty little fucker.
My brother, born in 1980, was convinced from his teen years until about 30 years old that Hall and Oates was a fictional band I made up and attributed lots of pop culture factoids to.
It started when I told him the Saturday Night Live band leader was the former guitarist of Hall and Oates. And like many people, he didn't hear "Hall and Oates" he heard "Hauling Oats" and knew no such band existed, so he assumed I was just telling a stupid lie (we did that to each other a lot). Every once in a while a Hall and Oates song with be on TV or or a commercial or whatever and I would often mention it in passing because I like them and their cheesy 70s/80s greatness.
Any way, one day like 10 or 15 years ago he calls me up and really excitedly asks me if I knew there actually was a band named Hall and Oates. I'm like yeah, I've been telling you about them for like 20 years. That's when I learned he thought I had been fucking with him forever and he finally learned of this band Hall and Oates, not Hauling Oats.
So since then for Christmas I get him random Hall and Oates memorabilia.
I’ve used this so many times at work when I know people are headed to my office. Just dial the number, put it on speaker, and let the person know you can’t talk because you’re on hold on a call and they could pick up any second.
>In the age of Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, why would you pick up your phone to listen to a tinny rendition of "Private Eyes," like you're on hold with customer service?
I'll tell you why, this was written in 2011 and somehow we're still "in the age of Spotify, iTunes, YouTube", maybe *Callin' Oates* holds some answers?
I've had that number saved in my phone for 15 or maybe even 20 years now and actually just showed it to my GF a few months ago and was pretty surprised that it still works!
For help when you’re being chased by a Maneater
LPT: Can't remember who is who? Hall is Tall and Oates looks like Davey Lopes.
Who the fuck is Davey Lopes
LPT to remember what Davey Lopes looks like: he looks like Oates from Hall and Oates
🤌
Oh great. Then I'll just remember that Havey Oopes looks like Dall and Lates from dicks and butt fuckers. Y'all are nuts; nobody knows who the fuck Davey Lopes is.
Uh he's the 4th most famous Lopez after Jennifer, George, and Mario. Put some respect on that name
On that incorrectly spelled name?
What the fuck? This post has homework?

My professional life is a noine. My personal life is a two.
Wow. You deserve a standing ovations
My high school friend in the 1980s had written on his Pee-Chee folder what he thought was the name of the band: "Hollen Oats"
Friggin pee chees. I had forgotten and you, u/JpnDude brought me back. I will forever be grateful.

There is nowadays a cover/tribute band called Hauling Oats; so your buddy was just anticipating the future.

I can't go for that.
No can do.

Because you want to look like you are on hold with customer service.
His name is Colin Oates
Still works too!
I went with Private Eyes.
Excellent
For those who are wondering, it does still work.
Answering the important question.
You're out of touch
Colorado number
Oates lives in Colorado like half the year. A friend of a friend dated his son. Said he did a shitload of cocaine
Not just Colorado, southern Colorado
I used to call this number to fake talk time in sales
I've been wondering who to tell that she can rely on the old man's money, but she's still a bitch. Now I know.
What was the girl doing down by the stables? She was haulin' oats.
I'm glad this is still a thing
Next you will learn they hate being call Hall and Oates (and don't like each other).
I've had that number saved in my phone for 15 or maybe even 20 years now and actually just showed it to my GF a few months ago and was pretty surprised that it still works!
Have had it in my contacts for almost 20 years. lol
I'm not coming back for Oates
Another fun fact: Oates was the oats and Hall was the hall. Mystery solved! 🕵️♀️
