ConTXT is eveything

Texting has become a strong part of our modern culture, or at least in areas with cell towers and strong signal bars. Cellphones, Twitter, and Facebook status updates allow people to share and broadcast their thoughts with an information-craving world.

But sometimes (most times?), that kind of raw sharing can take a bizarre, unexpected turn. Random thoughts that probably should stay locked in our noggin get broadcast either accidentally, with little foresight, or with a sense of sarcasm that borders on psychotic. Add a little alcohol to all that, mix well and pour over neurotic ice, and you've got the makings of social network nervous breakdown that therapists have wet dreams about.

Welcome to Texts From Last Night, which lists random, out-of-context text messages sent and received across this nation of ours. You can choose random messages, the best/worst of today, the last week, the last month, or of all time, and you can even sort them by area code. Not surprisingly, many of these texts are about sex, getting drunk, and work (sometimes all at the same time).

Here are some of our favorites:
(317): You tried to convince me you were sober by doing jumping jacks. For an hour.

(267): I only wish the guy being lead around by his cock at the drag show was the weirdest part of my night.

(703): Just woke up wearing a top hat and simpsons boxers. i also found more money in my wallet then what i had before going out, about $1000 more

(401): Renamed my iPod as 'the titantic' so when I plug it in it's says 'the titantic is syncing.'

(516): Thank God they found balloon boy, I was afraid that Michael Jackson was ordering take out from heaven.
