[VATwinsFan]

Let's see. it's 9 PM and I can:

 

1) Listen to Obama

2) Watch the Twins game

3) Walk the dog.

 

I think 3 wins by a landslide.

Looks like Donaldson has a poor mans mullet.

 

I think mullets are excluded from the Official Book of Poor Man's. There is only one variety.

Ahhh... The Prodigal Son has returned.

 

How was your month of freighthopping? I'm sure you have a story or two to tell us. Did you get into any knife fights on your travels?

 

It was bizarre... Hub and spoke travel... My calendar kept getting filled up. I'd sit down for a second and someone would make me go somewhere.

 

Wife: What are you doing?

Me: I was gonna sit down and watch the Twins.

Wife: Umm... I don't think so. You have to put the cat to sleep. It's tonight... Did you forget?

Me: The cat? She's strong and healthy. Why are we...

Wife: Her cat food went up two cents a can.

Me: Oh... OK...

 

(Next Night)

 

wife: What are you doing?

Me: I was gonna sit down and watch the Twins

Wife: My great Aunt Agnes is in town... We are going out to dinner.

Me: Seriously... Agnes... I didn't know she was still around. How old is she?

Wife: I'm not sure... She was born in 1910... 80 or Something like that.

Me: She's 103???

Wife: She wants to dancing after

Me: OK...

 

(next Night)

 

Wife: What are you doing?

Is the Official Book of Poor Man's written or unwritten?

[Riverbrian]

OK... I'm getting a smartphone... I really like the Samsung Galaxy... But I have an IPad and Apps that can be shared on the iPhone.

 

Is there any reason... To get the Galaxy?

Make sure you are smarter than your phone is all I can say.

I have researched this a lot and decided to keep my flip phone.

 

From what I can tell, the iphone is easier to use, but the Samsung is more powerful if you have the tech skills to harness such power. I would lean towards the iphone, but I have decided that I don't want to have to worry about keeping a smartphone charged. My flip phone can go 2 or 3 weeks without charging.

I never read the "Official Book of Poorman's", but I have read the "Poor Man's Official Book of Poor Man's." It's kind of vague, but it does mention that mullets are excluded from the rules of Poor Man's. I am the poor man of relaying accurate information - take it as you may.

I got a Galaxy S3 last week, and I love it.

I'm obviously not up on all the latest high tech gizmos and such, but that appears to be TWO phones.

[Winston Smith]

This looks like a good phone

Glad you've moved up to mid-20th century wheels.

I'd like to explain, but right now I have to bring the phone to my wife... her husband is calling.

You found the words I was groping for.

Anyway you can compare the Apps with the IPhone.

I'm getting a little paranoid. Are you accusing me of liking country music?

I really like the Galaxy... I'm just trying to decide if it makes sense to get it... When I've already invested so much time and effort Into my IPad.

 

Everything on my IPad will just ICloud over to my IPhone.

I had to investigate BR549 to be able to respond to the thread. I seen it was a country music band... If you endorse them - I'll check it out.
