I have finally become assimilated and now have a smart phone.
I’m still figuring out if this is a good thing or not. On the one hand, I likebeing able to respond to important stuff sooner. Just today, while doing payroll at the store, I was able to schedule a demo, respond to a prospect’s questions and book a guest for the radio show.
On the other hand, I am now always available. Which can suck.
meanwhile, I have yet to use Siri.
So, is it just me or is Siri overrated?
Does anyone actually use it?

Happy Birthday Vmax!!!

I’m lucky to have a dumb phone.
Worst post evah.
My 12 year old nephew and I think Hotspur does.
I don’t talk on the phone. Not even to Siri.
Meanwhile, doing a newpoat on this thing is a royal fucking bitched
Why are you poating from your phone? Didn’t you just tell us last night about your shit hot new wireless router?
And old fashioned eye-ball spell checking has gone the way of autocucumber.
HEY LOOK! Kathy Griffith is on Conan!
Wonder if they’ll talk about her NYE shenanigans?
*click
*calls Oso from VoIP so she won’t recognize my number and breathes heavy*
Do I even want to know what Cyn does with her autocucumber?
Of course you do. It’ll just cost you.
>>>Why are you poating from your phone? Didn’t you just tell us last night about your shit hot new wireless router?
Which has made using my iPhone more enjoyable.
Still testing everything.
Siri is really Bruce Wayne’s cellphone sonar thingie from the Dark Knight Rises.
Fuck.
Now I’m getting an email every time one of you idiots comments here
Bwahahahahaha!
I can’t even use my computer. My phone is way too smart for me. I used to be blonde. Squirrel!
I only comment from my iPod Touch when I’m taking a dump.
*wonders how fast I can add 17 comments before he figures out how to shut that shit off*
I’mma comment the shit outta this thread!

We have a “Dumb-Phone”“ .Many friends have “Smart Phones” and are OWNED by them. They are always on-line, on-call, browsing, or running an app.
If you took their phone and smashed it, they would die!
I’m never going there, but that’s okay because I’m old and will die soon.
I went to the phone-store once and asked for a phone, without a camera, texting, or data-plan.
Sorry, sir. We don’t have anything like that. You mean, just a phone?
TRUE STORY!
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin’
And have buttered scones for tea!
Where was the weather love when Pepe and I were freezing? Screw you East Coast elites!
SUNUVABITCH!!!
Stopped the emails but weird puss is notifying me…….. OooooooOOOOOOoooooo
brb
Wiser,
How YOU doin?

“Doink”
Dan gets upset when I FB on my phone when we’re out. He’ll text me a picture of his empty glass from across the room.
How will Wiser ever get any work done at the record store now?
It’s ok, they just listen to tunes all day. I saw Hi Fidelity.
Set it to vibrate, Wiser.
Huh Whut? Thursday stiffies?
Roamy and I found out when we met a few years back that we’d both changed out Outlook email notification to this: http://youtu.be/yBQcVXDf_Eg
Fixed it.
And I hate you all
Phineas & Ferb is the best entertainment on TV. That’s right, I said it.
Awww c’mon now; we’re just helping you to learn your phone. Faster.
>>>It’s ok, they just listen to tunes all day. I saw Hi Fidelity.
Yeah…. It’s just like that…
I’m the Jack Black character…..
Meanwhile, Siri… Does anyone actually use that?
50 comments=50 emails=50 learning opportunities!
I thought we already answered this query?

I think Cyn and Car in use Siri.
And the washing machine on spin.
I still have a dumb-ish phone but it’s got a neato slide out keyboard.
Btw, since Mesa has pretty much written us off, PJ and Rosetta, the proud and out fag, have become just occasional “special, ratings-period guests”, and he who shall not be named is persona-non-blog, I guess that makes me the H2 Elder.
So don’t piss me off, fuckers.
Cyn, I set that as my msg notification on my new phone. My ringtone is http://www.mediacollege.com/downloads/sound-effects/star-trek/tos/tos-redalert.mp3
I had a phone once that you could dial up or down the vibration setting. True Story.
//bans Wiserbud.
but not wiser
>>>I thought we already answered this query?
Sorry, I was busy and didn’t read the comments for a bit.
So that’s why it took you forever to answer my calls…
TRUE STORY. DRINK!
Where’s wiser’s bowl of Cheerios?
Fun, Xbrad!
I set my phone once to some sort of gangsta ringtone and would get the most hilarious looks from people.
Sorry, I was busy and didn’t read the comments for a bit.
Oh, you’re the elder, so now you don’t have to read comments, Ace?
There is no hierarchy here. This is what true anarchy looks like.
Ban me Wiser!
You have done it before. Go ahead, do it!
WP PJ and PattyAnn gave me keys
Mesa is still around.
Have you restored that car yet? What are you waiting on?
>>>Oh, you’re the elder, so now you don’t have to read comments, Ace?
“Have to?” No
“Want to?”
Lemme get back to you on that, k?
So that’s why it took you forever to answer my calls…
Yeah, um, well, yeah.
And if I had messages, it would vibrate and stop; vibrate and stop.
*what was I thinking getting rid of that phone…*
Anarchy
As a libertarian I understand but abhor it.
Nighty night cool kids. And Wiser (but not wiserbud).
Trust me vmax and it wouldn’t take mr about an hour to ban you, I would.
As for the car, sadly, priorities, man.
I liked it better when Patty Ann was the elder.
I miss her smile, that you could see in her posts…
>>>I miss her smile, that you could see in her posts…
Yeah, I miss her too. I’m still sorry that she and I ended on a bad note.
I adore PattyAnn
Well, today is KKA’s birthday. You want I should send a message to her, Wiser?
I still get friend reminders of PA on Face Douche. Makes me think of her every time.
NYTOL,
My imaginary internet friends.
Sleep well and wake refreshed…
>>>Well, today is KKA’s birthday. You want I should send a message to her, Wiser?
BWAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!
Yeah, that would be awesome.
Meanwhile, I still occasionally get LinkedIn requests from PA.
It’s weird
It’s fun when your fake internet friends become real ones.
Even the ones you haven’t met yet.
>>>Even the ones you haven’t met yet.
MAAAAAAAARE!!!!!!
Yeah, Imma hit the sack too. Tomorrow is going to be a lounging day.
The thing is… a smart phone needs a smart user.
Which disqualifies me, anyhow.
I’m out too, chillens.
If xbrad had Siri, he could ask for a date.
But don’t get your hopes up.
HEY LOOK! Kathy Griffith is on Conan!
You can just make out the top of her head.
Guy asked what time the Super Bowl started. I answered. Other guy asked Siri. Same answer. I am Siri. (Not really. I’m Rainman)
Good night everyone!
Amazon now has a cool thing:

How will Wiser ever get any work done at the record store now?
Why would he start that?
Heh, nice one.
I don’t know about a smart phone, but a smartass phone would be pretty cool.
//hands GO his dumbass phone
*looks at dumbass phone*
Yep, just my speed.
So, Art, Rachel and Tim are getting a bit more screen time this season on Justified. Which kinda scares me. I suspect the writers are building up to killing off one of them.
I think we should build a spreadsheet so everyone has a time slot to call Car in tomorrow, so she gets bombarded with calls.
You know, if I just string these two tin cans together, I can develop a simple, reliable phone. I wonder if I have to pay for a two year contract, though.
If we all telephone Car in, should we place take-out orders?
Be sure to ask if you can substitute a side salad for the fries.
I’m thinking about asking for gluten-free substitutions.
Ask for a vegetarian BLT.
Perhaps I’ll order vegan menudo.
I didn’t realize Latin boy bands were popular with dead English writers.
Well, I thought an order of Back Street Boys might be too fattening.

I’ve had my iPhone for two months now, and still don’t dare talk to Siri. OTOH my 13-year old daughter was happily chatting away with Siri before we left the Verizon store.
I don’t know why I have this Siri-phobia, except that for perhaps that the voice reminds me of Hillary Clinton. It doesn’t sound like her, but even so…
WTFITS?
Morning.
I use Siri quite a bit. It’s nice in the car to say, ‘play the Black Crowes,’ so I don’t have to look at the phone while driving. I also use Siri for directions and texting.
I don’t have an iPhone and can’t have any kind of phone in my office, so Siri could be a myth.
I do not own a cell phone.
You should get an Obamaphone, laura!
Laura, I miss the 20th century too, but I can’t live there.
I didn’t say I missed the 20th Century. I just said I don’t have a cell phone.
The correct pronunciation is bamapho. The ph makes an f sound.
Mrs. Pupster uses Siri for texting.
But, but, but, EVERYONE must have a cell phone!
The lack of payphones makes cell phone ownership pretty much a necessity. When I drove a service truck in the early 90s, I knew where all the payphones were in the county.
Laura has a beeper.

Wakey wakey. My muthafocking Internet is brok.
Morning cool kids
It was 5 degrees when I got up.
It has warmed to 10.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VMAX!!
Carin broke her what?
Thanks Cyn, I was hoping to ignore it and make it go away.
Too late as I got you something! http://youtu.be/YwdlXZzZpRM
I hope you have a great day!!
OBAMAFOH!
Happy Birthday, Vmax, I hope it’s a good one.
That was fun Cyn
Poat muthafokkin updated
Hughsnet line is busy. It’s probably not just me.
Happy birthday vman!!!
Happy birthday, Vmax!
Happy Birthday Vman and Rosetta.
Don’t you just love it when you find a surprise website on a surprise harddrive that you have to convert?
Happy birthday, Michael and mare!
Good morning children.
Happy Birthday VMax!I Hope you get what you want.
Our internet was dead for a couple of days. That really sucks.
We’ve had gorgeous weather the last few days. Of course a big cold front is supposed to get here early next week.
I got my secret Santa gift, A gun mug, and a giant condom! Evidently my reputation precedes me.
Thanks MJ!
Christmas in January. How novel.
Fail!
Thank you all for the wishes.
If you know of anyone wanting to hire a Civil Designer let me know. I will relocate anywhere.
Actually their business model was great. Charge you for the stupid stuff in December, send it in January.
Happy Birthday, Vman!
Christmas in January. How novel.
yeah, that never happens…

HB, Vmax
If you know of anyone wanting to hire a Civil Designer let me know.
what if they are looking for an Uncivil Designer? Could you handle that?
“Is my design finished yet?”
“Fuck no, asshole!”
If LauraW has no bamapho, how does she do sexting?
Happy birfdays all youse birfers!
what if they are looking for an Uncivil Designer? Could you handle that?
I asked Siri if she could handle an uncivil designer, and she said “this is about you not me.” So I guess Siri has the uncivil part down herself.
Siri: phone advisor to the dead.

Is “Siri” supposed to stand for something, some kind of acronym? What kind of name is that anyway??
Well as Civil as a AoS Moron Lifestyle™ Practitioner can be.
When I drove a service truck in the early 90s, I knew where all the payphones were in the county.
So you are saying you knew exactly where to make drug deals and anonymous telephone threats?
Is “Siri” supposed to stand for something, some kind of acronym? What kind of name is that anyway??
I asked Siri that precise question, and her answer was “It’s a riddle wrapped in an enigma, tied with a pretty pretty ribbon of obfuscation.” I am not making this up.
Yes.
“It’s a riddle wrapped in an enigma, tied with a pretty pretty ribbon of obfuscation.” I am not making this up.
What a snotty whore.
I carried a pager, and was on call 8 to 6, and 24/7 one week a month. Hated the pager, but the job was OK. I fixed things.
I will get a talking phone when I can have it address me in some kind of deep dreamy man’s voice. *looks off into the middle distance recalling the melty voice of Fabio*
I’m not having some snotty whore bitch tell me what to do!1!
Happy birthday, VMax! ♥♥♥
…address me in some kind of deep dreamy man’s voice
I nominate Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock)…..
*Cyn’s phone dings at her*
“Vould you like a delicious cup uff Johann?”
Hey! Wiser has a nice voice (but not that wiserbud asshole).
“Vould you like a delicious cup uff
JohannI Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter?”fixted
If Siri were powered by Linux, it would probably be named Melvin and its answer to every question would be “Real men use the command line, pal.”
NEW POAT OF EARTH SHATTERING IMPORTANCE!!!
Siri backwards is iris. Because they’re spying on you.
