In a memorial to my good friend Jon who passed away shortly after the recording of these messages, I would like to share them with the public in the hope that they, as comedic centerpieces to his recorded legacy, will help bring a sense of closure to his fans, his family, and the prank call industry.

Presented here are two of his last moments;  enjoy as Jon calls up local establishments and reacts to their offers to "help you."

Enjoy.

Enjoy them.

Enjoy.  The calls.

Enjoy.

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Bois


A mourner at Jon Bois' Grave

Poem Published Mar. 22, 1869 in Weston Democrat, Weston, WV

Stranger pause at this mound of clay
See, it is fresh and was made today
Neath it a hero's remains now rest
Who by his country will ever be blest,
Here softly he sleeps,
While a nation weeps
O'er the early grave
Of our Boiskov brave!
Strong was his arm for his country's right
Bold was his heart in the midst of his fight,
Ever the first and the last on the field,
He knew how to conquer but not how to yield,
Till the Angel of Death
Obstructed his path,
And called him away
From the field of the fray,
Yet, though never again he'll lead
Armies who count it an ample mead
Still he shall live through our Southern land,
For his glorious name,
On the pillar of fame,
That will rise in our land
Still the highest shall stand

And when ages have passed away,
Lovers of freedom who come this way,
Ever will pause at this humble mound,
Saying to those who are grouping around,
"There softly he sleeps
Whom a nation weeps
Jon Bois, the brave
In his early grave!"

N is for "NE one know where Jon went? I miss him." :(

B is for "Boy oh boy, I sure do like a man with chest hair."
O is for "oh man, time to check the progressive boink forums for Jon posts!"
I is for the icicles  that would freeze on my womanhood if Jon rejected my affections..  Boo that.
S is for snort, which I do when reading Jon’s moviefone posts.

I is for I-tunes, which Jon enjoys with the help of the Pepsi corporation.

O is for, "ooops! Shouldn’t have used so many Os."
O is for OOOOOOOOKLAHOMA, which is right next to the state that Jon was born in.
