    It is $1.20 per pound at the Meat Market around the corner from where I work.

    The main problem for me is that people actually lined up for an hour or three of their time just to get the phone early. Whether this applies to an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, it's still ridiculous. Same applies to getting the new Twilight book or Call of Duty Game etc

    Not for nothing, but I see this as even worse than the technophiles or the apple elitists. At least if that's your "status" symbol, then it's something you value and don't mind overpaying for it. Lord knows I've spent enough money on my hobbies. But if you don't care about it and apparently don't take full advantage of its capabilities, why overspend on launch day? Might as well have bought a used iPhone4.

    Which is especially funny since Samsung just lost a multi-billionaire lawsuit for supposedly stealing their entire product design from Apple.

    Also, it's amusing that the man who repeatedly brags about his BMW is ragging on someone else for being a status whore. If we're going to talk about being defined by electronic choice, anti-Apple folk seem to have almost as high if not higher of an identity stake in the argument these days.

    I would have. But it was only $100 more for the 5 and as I keep my phones forever (3 years is forever in phone years isn't it?), I figured the cost would be worth it to have their most recent technology. I wasn't opposed to getting something else, but since I already have my music and apps, why switch everything over? Plus I didn't say I didn't use it a lot. It's just that people keep saying how droids are better because they do so much more. I don't need a phone that does more, the iPhone does what I need it to do. Is $200 a lot for a phone nowadays? It's what I paid for the 3GS. I thought it was a bargain. Or am I just being elitist? Do people really buy a phone as a status symbol? I'm too old for that. Didn't it used to be cars or something? And how can it be a status symbol when there's a whole boatload of people out there that tell you you suck for getting it, that I KNEW would tell me that?

    I have a feeling little piglets in Toronto are going to ring me a little more than they ring you guys on the other side of the border. Fucking fuck.

    I don't think this is actually a dilemma for you. I haven't seen you post anything that makes you think you're dishonest. Inconvenience or not paying attention doesn't justify theft. "Normally" you'd be honest? You're either an honest person or you're not.

    Whether or not there were security cameras or whatever shouldn't factor into your decision, imho. My father used to say "Your true character is defined by what you do when no one's looking."

    Actually, the option I'm leaning towards wasn't listed in my first post: I'm probably going to wind up ignoring the phone call. If they don't have the sense to make it simple for people to buy stuff, AND they can't be bothered to staff their own yard, why should I make any effort at all to help them correct their screwed up inventory counts?

    Shit, I hope masturbation isn't an indictment against good character...

    That's why I always make sure someone is watching when I masturbate.

    Me, I need at least two before work becomes acceptable.

    In other news, I now have a wool cycling sweater from Oregon. Ssycko, move over, I am now officially the biggest hipster on this board.

    And tomorrow is the town's Oktoberfest celebration.

    Well I should multiply that by a high number considering I'm going out for Tapas first. Beer and Tapas surely goes well

    Fucking hell, it is time for a weekend off. This month has been intense. I have been to Finland three times, two in the past 7 days, and I am going back on Wed.

    My friend who was in the Peace Corps came for a week, and the drinking was intense. It was actually great listening to her stories. I know people who have traveled the world, and their stories are boring as shit. Someone who lived in a Romanian town that is not even on the map really understanding a culture is far more interesting than the brief skimming of a culture a traveler gets.

    She had not even been to a "western" country for her whole two years. She started crying when she saw an artichoke.

    But now it is time for a weekend off. Playing the COPS drinking game. Every time you see a shirtless dude, take a sip of beer/wine. A drink every time they claim that drugs weren't theirs.

    We used to play a shot for every shirtless dude, but then they went to a redneck family reunion.

    I think the fact that there is limited upside to the 5 compared to a 4S is what makes it all ridiculous. Similar to the 4S compared to the 4. I went from a 3 to a 4 and it was fantastic in many ways. But I never felt the need to get a 4S and really don't feel the need to get a 5. As for the whole iPhone vs Android argument, I got an iPhone before some of the other Android phones really came on strong. And I was coming from a Blackjack running Windows Mobile which was horrific. Now I'm just used to iOS. I'm not an Apple fanboy, but I do like comfort and familiarity with my smartphone.

    Speaking of hot sport themed chicks, one of these girls won Halloween, the other looks like a slutty version of Toddlers and Tiaras.

    So, what, you're saying the 48 hours I spent in Stockholm weren't enough to appreciate all of Swedish culture? Bork bork bork.
