I now have a cell phone. :Q

I STILL hate them though! ;)

My boss got it for me yesterday in case the shop gets broken into again. The alarm people will call ME first and I will catch the little buggers.

Coming up on 24 hours and I STILL haven't made a call on it. :)

I'm like you too. I really don't want a cell phone.

I hope your boss got a prepaid phone. For low use, they are definately the way to go.

I hate mine now that they apparently increased the damn taxes on it again. 25% of my cell phone bill goes towards taxes.... :|

You haven't used it because you can't hear the ringer. Trying going to 11 on the hearing aid. :p

I hate that too....it's supposed to be $40 but by the time all the taxes make their way onto the bill it's >= $50

LMAO

To better explain:

It's very special, because, as you can see--the numbers all go to 11. Right across the board. Eleven, 11. . . . And most amps go up to 10? Exactly. Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not 10. You see, most blokes are going to be playing at 10--you're on 10 on your guitar, where can you go from there? Where? I don't know. Nowhere! Exactly! What we do, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? You put it up to 11. Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Why don't you just make 10 louder, and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?

Nigel is so baffled by this notion that he almost stops chewing his gum. "These go to 11," he repeats finally. His faith in that extra push over the cliff is unshakable. Marty DiBergi realizes he's dealing with a matter of guitar theology, not logic. Nigel has few ideas, but they are clearly defined and defiantly defended. DiBergi, a rational filmmaker, is helpless in the face of Nigel's rapture.
