Kevin Spacey Sorry for Mugging Confusion (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=502&ncid=716&e=7&u=/ap/20040419/ap_on_en_mo/people_spacey)

sigh

HAHAHAHAHAHA

sigh

am I the only one who got the entire mental image of this?

his "doggy had to poo" at 4:30

he takes it for a walk

a kid gives him a line of shit about needing to use his phone

the kid runs off with the phone

he runs after it and bangs his head or something

then he reports his phone being stolen and later feels guilty for making it seem like he'd been attacked

add a love interest and this is another academy award

k, the following is wrong with this story:

#1 he's in a city and has a dog
#2 he can't walk in the park across the street from his house at 4:30 am without a fucking cell phone

that about sums it up for my opinion :)

Story=funny, yes and no doubt but....

Your #1: I don't get the problem here. Could you explain?

Your #2: See above.

[Mudflap]

He's Kevin fucking Spacey. He should have people to walk his dog.

Has the dog been questioned? 10 bucks sez the pooch was at home while Spacey was doing god-knows-what in the park @ 4:30 a.m.

[MAC]

billy, I am currently in a state of mass aggrivation with humans and their so-called pets

last week I killed 3 kittens and 1 mastiff because idiots refuse to be responsible for their animals.
Maybe Mr Spacey has a great pet owner and loves his dog a bunch
but probably he's just a guy who wanted a dog and had money to buy it
(my attitude on this topic is for shit lately)

the cellphone thing bugs the fuck out of me tho

why would you carry a cellphone at 4:30am?
you are waiting for a call?
incase you need it?

you are in the park across the street from your fucking house at 4:30 am and you are a SLAVE to that fucking phone because you might MISS something

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE these motherfuckers who have that phone glued to their ear or hip 24/7.
Let it go, kids
if they can't reach you, they can't reach you

go do something else
get there when you get there
maybe your wife will have to eat the fucking ice cream YOU decide to buy
maybe YOU'LL pay attention to what flavor she likes

rather than calling you for something she forgot to buy maybe she'll get her ass organized and buy what she needs when she's out.

maybe you could sit and talk to your friends in person and not on the phone 4 hours/day

maybe you could tell someone you'll be there tomorrow afternoona dn then show up as if you had nothing better to do than go see them, rather than calling at the last minute like you're too fuckin busy

cell phones don't help logistics they CHANGE them.

Its a sad fuckign day when I can't get up to go for a walk in the wee hours of the morning without my goddamn cellphone

[Billyman]

The animal issue I’m not going to touch, you’re having your own at the moment. :p

I can only agree partially to your cell phone mumbo jumbo. I too hate the fucksticks that always have them jammed up to their faces so I’ll give you that one.

However, I carry my cell phone with me everywhere I go (unless it’s just out in the yard or sommat). I use, on average, 12 minutes a month on it. I don’t carry it expecting someone to call or scared I’ll miss something, I carry it in case I need to use it. You never, ever know what’s going to happen and being able to reach out and touch some one gives a sense of security. A false sense? I think not. I can write out scenario after scenario but I think you already know where I’m coming from.

If a park was across the street from me and my doggie needed to go poop at 4:30 in the morning, yeah, I’d carry my cell. Besides, I might have to loan it to Kevin so he can phone the cops. :p

[MAC]

how did you live before it?

we're not talking about anti-biotics here

our lives are shaped by our modes of transportation, where we work, where we shop, where we can live, etc

our lives are shaped by our modes of communication
the WORLD changed after the printing press was invented
radio
TV
Telephone
internet

each changed our industrialised modern world but they all have ONE limiting factor...none are convient unless you go to them

cell phones are different, they go where you go

imagine a world where you have to go to fire or water.......

I am beginning to feel like I am seriously different from the "mainstream".
It must be my age.

[Billyman]

Mac, with all due respect, get out of the fucking box man.

Where was I before the cell phone on my side? On the side of the highway, walking, hitching for a ride.

Where was I after? Merely waiting for the tow truck to show up.

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt of seeing positives but turns out you’re just some redneck stuck in the woods.

Jeebus.

City folk scare you don’t they?

Tis true, technology shapes our lives. Either you jump in the boat and paddle or sit on shore waiting for the grizzly bear to come and eat you.

Oh, and I’m older that j00.

I'm obligated by work to carry a cell phone 24/7. And now that I've carried it for 5 years day and night, I wouldnt be without it. Billy makes an excellent point. There's been quite a few nonsense calls I've gotten on my cell, I have had to pick up ice cream due to a call, but I dont mind. I also have had calls on my cell to let me know my wife was in labor, my mother was being taken to emergency heart surgery, and a few other such events I am glad I didnt miss.

If I'm going out into a park at 4:30 am in a large city, I'm bringing a cell phone, my wallet, a concealed pistol and a can of chew.

I'd much rather use the cell phone than the pistol.

[MAC]

yeah, I'm beginning to realise lately that I am truely fucked up. It doesn't really affect others that badly, because ppl are trained to expect crap from other ppl, but it's bugging me pretty good.

so here's my prismatic way of looking at this

you carry a cellphone based on the CHANCE you'll need it.
YOU have made a decision about what you will bet ON and what you will bet AGAINST.

Well, now, one of the things you must bet ON, is someone stealing your phone or you loosing it.

feel free to apply that to anything else; firearms for home protection for example.

but it's great that you all have cell phones for tow trucks, babies, and emergencies

they've made your lives better

wonderful!

then you'll join me in slapping the shit out of those ppl who seem to have them glued to their ears day and night

[Torque]

I'll slap to that. Hang them up while you're in the grocery store. Hang em up while negotiating traffic. And for gods sake, hang them up while you are in a bathroom stall at work. That's just disgusting.

I'm pretty good about cell phone ettiquette. Mine has caller ID. If it's personal, and I'm talking with someone, or paying for the ice cream my wife called me to get, I'll call them back when it's convenient for me. If I'm in a public area and I get a call, most of the time I will answer, find out if it's urgent, and if not, call them back later. If I must speak on the phone in public, i try to find an out of the way spot, so you dont become one of those yakking idiots standing in everyone's way. Also, loud cell phone talkers are annoying too. I dont want to know your business. Unless your business is arranging free parties with 88 kegs and strippers. Then, talk loud. And slowly enough for me to type the directions on my little cool phone keypad.

Cell phones are a great tool. Like any other tool, they have their place and their uses.

[Mudflap]

I had a cell phone in NC from summer of '96 till I moved to Tejas. It was a big, bulky bag phone that I kept in my truck and never carried on my person. I got it after surviving a horrendous disaster on my farm that could have been prevented. I wanted to be in touch while driving, just in case I was needed. It came in handy for that exact purpose a few times. When I was out of my truck and not by my home phone, well... that's why my boss was next on the call list. And then his boss. And so on.

Technically, I'm "on call" 24/7 for my current job, but they haven't given me a cell phone, so they'll have to catch me at home when I'm not online if they need me.

I don't intend to get a cell/digital phone anytime soon. Not because I don't want MAC bitching about me (fuck him). I just don't want one, nor do I really need one. When I do NEED one, I'll get one.

One one one.

[Billyman]

Mac and Big-T, I’ve the perfect person to describe to you and I know you will love her and think she’s the greatest.

She’s known as “Lil’ bit” by most so I’ll just call her that here. She works for NAPA (front building which we lease to napa). This four foot nothing, ignorant ass, so stupid she’s annoying just in that aspect alone, cunt…stays on her cell phone constantly. And when I say constantly, I mean it in a literal sense.

Here’s the shit that tears me up and so help me I wanna just smack her over and over just for being stupid. Every two months or so, she’s on “that” phone, cursing, raising hell, damn near in tears, telling whoever what it’s all about. She’s chewing somebody out because they’re threatening to come get her Yukon because of payment delinquency. She’s had it “hooked to” half a dozen times and either her husband or her boyfriend bails her out. She’s got a 52inch big screen TV sitting in her living room which at the time, if she’d bought it straight out, would’ve cost her $2100. She’s “buying” it from Rent America, heh. I figured in her monthly bill, number of payments and APR. If she ever gets it paid for before it’s repossessed (she gets threatened with that every few months too), she’ll have paid $5600 for a $2100 TV.

But wait, there’s more.

This past December, she was “struggling” once again to keep her truck and she and her husband had just had a mobile home repossessed a few months prior. But now it’s X-mas time! The kids need new four wheeler don’t they? Yeah, that’s it! Two new four wheelers for the kids it is then.

One of which they sold last month because they couldn’t afford payments on both. She’s still paying for a ’95 Yukon, a big screen TV that’s now horribly outdated, and one four wheeler and all of which is on the edge of repossession all the while living with dad in daddy’s house.

Guess what’s the one bill that never gets missed and is always prompt…

Her $600 a month cell phone bill.

Yes, I’m as serious as a fucking heart attack.

[Mudflap]

She sounds hawt.

[Pianomahnn]

I'd like to mention that people who have their phones on in restaurants should be shot.

They should be shot TWICE when it rings and they answer while I'm getting their order.

Fuck them.

[TotalAnarchy]

ahahaha
