Yup they were talking to me. Most the time i did'nt bother , but every once in a while i splurged for a phone show. Plus that way i could hear the laughter and whatever other goofy noises seemed to happen as a result from the tickling...sometimes it was quite comical. I just wish i would have recorded some of them. Oh well, as they say hindsight is 20/20. Plus there is also that nice personal touch of being called evil with a beautiful female voice rather than having them type it. They were great kidders...i think. 😛
