Stumbled onto this on Twitter today, and it's tangentially VH related...

Quick summary for those that have hit their WaPo free article limit for the month?

Rundown is:

Couple from Tennessee married very quickly after meeting and eloped to NY in the mid 90s against the wishes of basically both their friends and family.

Once they moved to NY, they started getting all of these phone calls from women looking for "David." David happened to be the husband's name.

Wife was getting concerned with all of these suspicious calls and questioning her decision to get married...wondering if everyone else was right.

One day, a man called asking for "David" and this happened:

Finally, a man called.

“Sorry, he’s at work,” I said.

“All work should go through me,” he spat. I wasn’t sure how law firms allocated cases, but apparently David was doing it wrong. I began to take a message.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“I’ve known David for years,” he shot back. “The real question is: Who are you?”

He had a point. I was the new addition. I wanted love so badly that I ignored any inconvenient details — like barely knowing the man I married.

“I’m his wife.” The new label felt heavy in my mouth.

Silence for a beat. Then two.

“Why didn’t he tell me about you?” he exploded.

“It was spontaneous,” I said, before launching into a defense of getting married quickly, but with less enthusiasm than I would have before the calls started.

“I’ll be right over,” he said. “Don’t talk to anyone. We have to fix this.”

“I am not a problem to be fixed!”

“Are you —” he paused, then lowered his voice. “Pregnant? Expecting a little David Lee? A kid will really hurt our comeback.”

“Lee?” I asked. “My husband’s middle name is Austin. What comeback?”

“I know my own client’s middle name.”

“Client?” I asked. “I’m talking about David French, the attorney.”

“I’m talking about David Lee Roth, the singer.”

To sum up, right before these people moved to NY, DLR had changed his number. This couple got his old number and he apparently was still giving it to chicks he was trying to let off easy.

Couple lived happily ever after and are still together.

Here's the summary : This should be in the Randon shit that doesn't deserve a thread

Here's the summary : This should be in the Randon shit that doesn't deserve a thread

Because there's just so much to talk about these days in VH land that we can't possibly deal with the thread congestion.

There's a thread on the first page that was last posted in on 12/4 lmao.

Fudd the thread closer will be here shortly.ha

[It's Mike]

this is thread worthy. When a VH story hits the mainstream press (and this has) then it's worthy of a thread. Quite the funny story actually

I just came here to post this. This story has an M. Night Shyamalan twist you don’t see coming.

Imagine if the agent had never mentioned his middle name.

Imagine if the Links had existed back then! This woman could've posted here with real inside info, with the amount of ppl calling her thinking they were calling DLR.

And then we would have gotten word the agent used the phrase "....our comeback". Then around here woulda been ARMBI!!!!! Would have been bitchin.

I just find it damn funny that DLR was giving women an old number. LOL.
