Wouldn't it have been more efficient to just set the requisite amount of money on fire?
Ahem. You could at least have spent the money on something that would have made an interesting post, like a crystal meth bender.
Or you could have sent the money to me.
How would that make for an interesting blog post?
"I've long had a hankering to wire money to w-lfs-n, but never took any steps to do so because it's downtown you know, and that's such a hassle to get to. But it turns out that mailing money isn't any more expensive than sending it Western Union, so now I extra want to do it."
Crystal meth bender, bah. He should have snuffled the bills with great sucking snorts, to get high off the residual cocaine. He should have done this in the produce section of Whole Foods.
I said or, Apo.
snuffled the bills with great sucking snorts
Beautiful.
Geez. *I* like to know what gadgets other people are using. $130. Cheep.
Wait Timbot, you've been "cell only" for years, what's your problem with the phone?
Huh. I think my imagery there owes something to Lucy Mangan's grilled moron maneuver.
I'm cell only, but my phone doesn't have a video camera. And I didn't pay for it.
Geez.
I kid because I love, Ogged.
Oh, I dimly recall now that I read about its video camera. I got it because it has a big (for a cell phone) beautiful display, high speed (for a cell phone) internet access, and the Opera mini-browser, which is really nice. If they were offering a blog IV drip, I would have just gotten that.
I kid because I love
I like Jim Henley's variation: we kid because...we're kidders!
For the record, I had nothing to do with this.
I'm a bit of a gadget freak, and it doesn't strike me as a very interesting phone. My recollection is that they're coming out with nice PDA/phones that have WiFi, decent keyboards, and cameras. Those are phones worth getting. (This, though still in development, is a phone worth blogging about.)
This really resonated with me.
He felt freakish back then because all the boys used to tease him for having a dick bigger than any of the adults they knew. Calling him Donkey Boy and other stuff that would embarrass him.
Kids can be so cruel.
But did you ever
try to clench [your] sphincter muscles and try to pull some of the shaft down into [your] thick forest of pubes to hide it[?]And did you succed only in
making it throb in front of their bleary eyes[?]
It's not a very interesting phone, and it's about to be replaced by the 6682. That's why it was cheap. But it does what I need quite nicely. I'm undecided about the little keyboards. I used an ipaq 4350 for a while, and always wanted a real keyboard anyway. The wifi was nice, but I think a decent cell connection will actually be more useful. This was my second choice, but it's chintzy.

Ogged is taking dictation from his talking emo schlong and it's just me and the crickets out here. Let's get it together, people. Dictation!
Let's get it together, people. Dictation!
A great bit from Richard Thompson's "Why Must I Plead":
You've been seen around, you're a new sensationYou got a better deal, and you took his invitation
You've been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation
Now that phones are in the "let's include everything we possibly can including the kitchen sink" phase of development I ask the following question:
When does a phone with camera and video player and music player and internet browser become a PDA with a phone?
When you start licking the phone.
