About the author

MATT ANDREWS is a reformed loser and full-time hooligan. It started during an exceptionally boring shift at the smart phone kiosk where he used to work in the mall. With ample time to procrastinate, Matt decided to check out Craigslist. He saw an ad requesting the reader to text a personal cell phone number for more information, and thus his prank text empire was born. The public have taken to the blog like moths to the flame on sites including BuzzFeed, Reddit, The Huffington Post, and others.
