Just...wow. I can't express what I just heard. Though it was hilarious even when it got turned back on, he still had to drop the F bomb

oh
my
god
I think that was my uncle Bill.
Seriously though ... he barely stutters at all and manages to string together rhyming expletives with a grace envied by Sailors everywhere! Points off for a fairly repetetive theme though.
Oh, and the ending? Priceless!!!

As if being a cylon weren't bad enough for Colonel Tigh, now the machines are just shutting him out.
I can not wait until I go home tonight so I can actually hear this... Sadly, massive explicit rants are \"work inappropriate.\"
\"Jeeesus fucking christ, what the fuck do you want for fuckoooffffff!\"
My new favorite line.

I love the ending!
This guy needs Mr. Mackey's 4-step program:
Step 1: Instead of 'ass' say 'buns,' like \"Kiss my buns\" or \"You're a buns-hole\"
Step 2: Instead of 'shit' say 'poo,' as it \"bullpoo,\" \"poohead,\" and \"This poo is cold.\"
Step 3: With 'bitch' drop the 't,' cuz 'bich' is Latin for 'generosity.'
Step 4: Don't say 'fuck' anymore cuz 'fuck' is the worst word that you can say. 'Fuck' is the worst word that you can say! You shouldn't say 'fuck,' no, you shouldn't say 'fuck.' Fuck no!!!
That's the best Thank You I've EVER heard!

It reminds me of: \"I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of me as I screamed.\"
Seriously, that was awesome. I think I understand what apoplectic means now.

Maybe he should just read a book while his cable is out....
What's the link...I can't get to it.
Oh I worship in his shadow, that is so priceless! He just added a few more choice phrases to my repitore so I can more efficiently turn peoples ears red.
Am I the only one here who thought this was simply just a sad display?
I echo zigz comment and say that maybe he should read a book. Perhaps his vocabulary would be the better for it.
LOL

I wonder if this is the father of this gal I once dated. Sure does sound like him. And her, for that matter!

@forgottenpassword: Red Green would have fixed it himself. Of course, it would have taken about 3 rolls of duct tape, 5 yards of twine, 1 2x4, and one old tire from 'round back. It would probably work better, afterward, too.
I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
What the hell is a \"cack sucka\"? Is that some kind of rap thing?
If he did this today Comcast would have rolled their entire fleet to this guy's house.
This was done better years ago to a Rheem customer service emergency afterhours line.

@marsneedsrabbits:
\"SLEEPING JESUS, YOU GONNA PARK THAT WRECK OR DRIVE IT?
The old man's latest curse-- one of an endless lexicon-- was a new one to me. I filed it away for future use. It might come in handy during a ball game or an argument with Schwartz.\"
Also by the late, great Jean Shepherd.
The first place I heard this recording was actually as a song. It was set to music by, I believe, a band called \"Landscape Body Machine\". (I got it on a mix CD by a local DJ.) It's even better in that form - and oddly danceable.
Landscape Body Motion is right. They have this song on their MySpace profile. It's called \"No Cable.\"
They pitch down the voice so the guy sounds more threatening...

Al Swearengen approves of these messages.
Ha, that ain't jack. I can top that without even being drunk. First, I learned to curse from my father, who learned the English language in the U.S. Army in 1942; then I took it to the next level. My fifteenth-hour-at-my-desk midnight rush-job rants are much far, far throat-destroyingly louder, with rage-powered multi-octave range and dynamic polyrhythms, and vastly more variously and scabrously profane as well.
Some times you just gotta let it out, you know?

That was pure cathartic bliss.
I want hire him to torment SEPTA in Philly. (I now have fios so my cable woes are n/a)
Like others, I'm wondering what the heck was this dude's job ?
But darn it now I have Shut Yo Face (Uncle F**ka) from Southpark ringing in my ears.

He sounds like a Newfie. They tend to call it like they see it and not take guff from anyone.
The accent is an Ottawa Valley accent, not a Newfie accent (although the two are similar and often confused with one another). What's more he's an Ottawa Valley Orangeman, you can tell by the use of dogan (a slur against Catholics) as an insult. I've had a cassette of this recording simply known as \"cable guy\" both with and without the Beethoven accompaniment since 1990. It's much funnier with the music than it is without. Although the man is clearly from the Ottawa Valley the word on the street at the time this bus-tape was being heavily circulated had it that the cable company the calls were placed to was in London Ontario.
Sounds like my 70 year old father going off on Comcast (again...), with his dentures out, natch.
Do I detect an accent?
I was laughing so hard, tears were coming out of my eyes.
