Mother of god, these places are like viruses! They move into every single open storefront, closed down restaurant, everything! It's like a virus! There are 3 on the same street here and one's in an old carpet store, one's in an old restaurant, another one's in an old radio shack. They're renovating some lab at my university so I'm wondering if cingular is setting up shop inside.

I don't know about out there but around here Radio Shacks are more or less cell phone shops.
 
Pengwuino, is it your mission to start a pointless thread every day?
 
Do you own a cell phone? Congratulations. You're a host for the virus.

Cool. That's what I was hoping for. That's how I feel on some threads...sneak in, leave a post and sneak out. I needed to change my avatar for a while. Glad I am not the only one that Loves Calvin and Hobbes.

speaking of cell phones... mines about dead now... the top of the antenna finally fell off after hanging on by just a thread for a week or so, i superglued it back together, but it still fell apart. then last night i called whozum and he couldn't hear me at all. our conversation went something like:"Hello? abby? are you there? hello??"
<"HOSAM! CAN YOU HEAR ME! HOSAM I'M HERE! WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR ME!??">
"c'mon this isn't funny, are you there? i can't hear you abby. what are you doing?
<"AUGH! I WANT TO TALK TO YOU! STUPID &^&*#(*&# PHONE! !&%$!@!**! HEAR ME DAMMIT!">
"is your phone broken or something? are you there? abby! whyeee..."
<*Smashes phone against nearest hard surface*>
"hey, what? did you say something? i just heard something."
<*Throws phone across hall*>
"abby? sweetie, what's going on?"
<*presses random buttons in frustration and rage*>
"Beep beep beep?"
<*realizes he can hear the buttons being pressed... tries playing jingle bells... fails...*>
"yeah, i don't know what that means..."
<3,3,3>
"...i love you more"
<2,2>
"aww, you just said nuh uh"
<5,5,5,5,5,5>
"hahahahaha?"
<5,5,5,5,5,5>
"god you're cute.
<3,3,3>
"i love you too. press once if you're smiling"

"how big?"
<1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1>
"hahaha, ok stop. i wish i could hear you."

I feel for you. I found out that our cell phone has a dead spot right in our house. I can't use the thing from my own home if I needed to. Irony can be pretty ironic.
