since 1995

Q: If you had but one phone call to make, what would it be?
A: SIMPLE... the TOMBIEcall!!!

A tradition has been in effect since 1998 where Patti & Mart would call Tombie from the various Ballparks, Stadiums and Arenas they would visit in their myriad travels around our country. In a visit to Cleveland and Detroit, they called Tombie from Jacobs Field, the Gund Arena, the brand-new Cleveland Browns Stadium, and the soon-to-be-demolished Tiger Stadium.

During the call from Browns Stadium, the idiots thought, "Wouldn't it be great to get everyone involved? Wouldn't it be great for Tombie to get phone calls from Stadia around the country from all of the Acreheads? Are we pushing our luck yet? Why not... they're just as idiotic as we are!!!"

You don't need much prodding, do you? It's time for another stupid stunt in the tradition of the Corn Challenge... make the TOMBIEcall!

 

C'mon, homey...
gimme a call!

 

We'll keep track right here of every call made from a stadium to Tombie.
Here's all you need to do:

1) E-mail us for Tombie's phone number if you don't have it already!
(we don't want to post it in what is already the internet equivalent of a bathroom stall...)

2) Call Tombie from inside or right outside any professional sports stadium!
The team does not have to be playing at the stadium that day for it to count...
(use your calling card at a pay phone or your cell phone... and don't hang up right away; you might be lucky enough to enjoy a pleasant conversation with the Tombie, Maryann, Jackie, Matty, and Katie. If you leave a message, it counts, of course!)

3) E-mail us to let us know from where and when you made the TOMBIEcall!
(between him letting us know and you letting us know, we'll probably find out about it)

NOTE: If a stadium is listed here already, it's still ok to make the TOMBIEcall from that stadium... we'll just add your name and the TOMBIEcall date underneath that stadium.
