...if he remembers to lace-up.

He made them an offer and they accepted

So why couldn't he take yes for an answer?

Planet Rot in all its glory

Finally, someone is going after the cell-phone yakkers.

Planetary Gridlock

Note that at least one of the satellites was owned by Motorolla, a cellphone company.

Exploding cell phones

Can shoot the Apple off Guillaume Tell's head

Channeling moi

He looked the picture image of the disheveled academic. He paced back and forth, gesturing mildly as he spoke against the evils of iPods and "texting."

Self-defense against jabbering

Brainfryers in lieu of cash?

Don't all those people already have like 10 cell phones each, the more to jabber incessantly instead of actually doing something?

Evil cell phones

In mid-September, in the midst of the growing financial crisis, Lawrence Summers sat in a box seat down the third-base line at Fenway Park, nibbling on a hot dog and fielding call after call on his cellphone.... The calls he kept getting, often forcing him to walk away from his seat, were not about the score of the game. They were from Barack Obama's top advisers in urgent need of help.

Now, JJ, how would you like being at Fenway Park, and having to listen to that ex-Harvard don jabbering on the brainfryer with the Chosen One? I can't wait till Nokia goes out of business.

In theory it could even occur on the fingers if you spend a lot of time texting on metal menu buttons. Not to say, on your butt, if you put your brain-fryer there.

Hail to Arnie

Brain fry

Bugorski not only survived, but completed his PhD without virtually any damage to his intellectual abilities, except for a marked fatigue, loss of hearing and having the left side of his face paralyzed. A day at the office for your random grad student.

How about banning them altogether?

Perils of cell phones. Part MCCXXXIV

"I can't believe someone could be texting while driving a train." Oh, yeah? Think of JJ driving.
