From the people that I know that have or had cell phones they told me Verizon mainly sucks. So they switched to either Sprint or AT&T. The modem that I use is from Sprint and it's pretty good.

So this has nothing to do with anything, but the opening sequence of Casino Royale is amazingly well done.

You start out with this gritty, black and white "realistic" fight in the bathroom, and then there's the riff on the classic gun barrel sequence, and suddenly you're hit with this crazy retro 60's psychedelic musical number as the opening credits roll. It's like the pure distilled essence of James Bond just leaped out and punched the real world in the face.

Daniel Crag is a a very good Bond but even he falls short of Sean Connery.

Craig is more of a though badass-bond than a cool gentlemen-bond like good ol Connery. But i like the new movies nevertheless.

As for cell phones, i live without them for a year now since an annoying incident involving alcohol, my bike and a lake. It's actually not that much of a problem.

I guess they still aren't exactly mandatory - my own lifestyle calls for me to constantly be in touch with people I don't actually see in person everyday, and I'd be screwed without a quick way to back-and-forth with a multitude of contacts.

I would love to just "forget" it one day and not give two shits and NOT have to face any consequences the next day. I can't wait for Christmas break.

Edit: I'll get back to raccoons tomorrow night, because they're still evil bitches.

I have never owned a cell phone, that and my dad thinks they are the scourge of humanity.

@Mebber: Alcohol, a bike, and a lake? Dude, we need to hear that story.

@Bloo: I mean, I guess we should have see it coming what with the little thief masks and all, but the betrayal still stings.

Cell phones promote teenagers and children to have horrible grammer, God I feel older then hell saying that but its the truth, I mean true I dont always spell shit correctly and most of my messages include vulgarities but thats the marines for you, making me stupider every day... But even so back to my original point, I cant fucking stand people texting me with all the stupid ass achroyms its gotten beyond retarded with those damned things! But if you look at it this way I bet at least 50% of the population that texts wouldnt be able to spell half of what they abrivate nowadays.

^ Fair point, but that's more down to text messaging than cell phones themselves. It's handy to be able to contact people quickly to coordinate meetings and such.

EDIT: By the way, Peterson, I don't think you saw my stupid civilian question last time so I'll pose it again-Does anyone in the military actually say "Terminate with extreme prejudice," or is that just in movies?

Three things: first, Mebber needs to tell that story. Second, raccoons are involved in a story of my own.

Third, about cell phones - guys, that's like blaming Facebook for being a retard convention. Watch The Social Network and tell me Spider-Man, Nsync and Zombie Land making MySpace WASNT awesome. They're YOUR friends and Like Pages - no one forced you to like "Like if ur thinkn of sum1 right now....." when you were 14, nor did anyone force you to friend request Thundercock Soulpuncher, your creepy uncle whose statuses are about "getting wid da chix!"

no DD, we dont say that kinda stuff, its more like alright guys lets go kill these fuckers or something to that effect, you should play battlefield 3 thats actually a pretty spot on game on to the bullshit of the marine corps.

@Peterson: Thanks, I figured it was probably the latter, but I had to know. I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. Next you'll tell me don't all have thick Austrian accents...

Well DD sorry to break it to ya but im a yank ass white boy pure breed 'MERICAN!

@Peterson

I was texting back and forth with a cousin who kept speaking in that stupid text language. I don't like that girl anyway, in fact LOATH her, because she would bully me when were were little. She kinda toned her actions down because I punched her in the face three years ago. SO she called my dad and asked if she could speak with me. I didn't have any say so in this so I got stuck talking with her over the phone. When she started texting I would text back until she started using only those stupid little letters. So after twelve minutes of me asking her to use some real words she began to insult me. I happen to have a VERY short fuse if I get annoyed by someone in person so I didn't let my anger show. Theb after another four minutes of going back and forth she finally texted me saying and I quote "U dnt hav teh Nohow 2 txt lyke a pro bich".

Good News: She doens't speak to me anymore

Bad News: According to my mom I sounded like worse than a Trucker. Not really proud of that at all.

An occasional Lol of ROTFL is ok but through out 90% of the conversation?

If raccoons could text, they're probably do it like that, and to their mothers.

99% of the time if someone is texting me like that I ignore them for a period of no less then two days. That is honestly how much it pisses me off.

Not much about that lakestory, i had just highly overestimated my own abilities to drive in a straight line after a bottle of booze. Shouldn't have taken the route flanked by a cliff and a lake, too... but it was not that bad - midsummer, the water was well tempered, moonshine... very nice actually. Only my friends guffaw disturbed the idyll a bit.




I'm glad we don't have racoons around here. It's not a coincidence they're colored like classic convicts... bad by nature.

But we have pigeons. Dirty pigeons. I know, they're everywhere on the world, just like rats. Dirty winged rats. I hate them, everyone here does. For three years know, i'm kinda at war with them, they can't stop to fuck outside of MY bedroom on MY balcony, it's disgusting. But they're resistant - not even my drain cleaner filled watergun keeps them at bay for long.

Dirty little monsters.

Yeah, fuck pigeons!

I'm so glad raccoons don't fly. (By the way, Chrome's been telling me that adding an 's' at the end of 'raccoon' isn't correct. Is Chrome a bitch too? I'm assuming everything's a bitch right now.)

Everything is a bitch, Bloo. Trust your instincts.

Also, Mebber's back. This is good.

Sooooooooooooo. Seen any good movies lately?
