Shayby said:Right. And it's going to be 4 kertrillion messages that basically add up to this: "I suck? No, YOU suck! Nextel Rules! Hahahahahahaha". Except it'll be with really horrible spelling.
Yup exactly what I was thinking much. đ

Jackie is it May 30th or April? I cant remember and im submitting time off now.
...
May... And you might as well take the whole weekend off... You can stay at my place.. đ
...
Nope the party is the 30, but you are also talking about Memorial Day weekend near the shore, only about 35-40 minutes. So we go to the shore and then the night before I gotta start prepping food.

Fine with me, I have this hyperdeveloped "somebody else's problem field" generator that allows me to ignore the annoying with impunity... Bring it on! đ

It's the rest of us that I am worried about, mainly me... I can't keep my mouth shut once people start spewing nonsense. đ¤

Cultivate cool, dear, and let them show the world the caliber of their mentality...
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." I think Abraham Lincoln said that, but I could be full of Nextel... đ˛

goose-fra-ba... ggoooossee-ffrraa-bbaa... Okay I feel much better, I will try and keep my mouth shut when it should be! đ

Yep, don't feed trolls, it just encourages them... which brings up another of my favorite sayings: "Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics--even if you win, you're still retarded." Politically incorrect, to be sure, but very true nonetheless... đ
...
That was Mark Twain who said that (and many other equally quotable things đ ) You're is just as good though either way.
...
I just remembered that Abraham Lincoln DID say something along those lines as well. The first quote though that popped into my mind was the one by Mark Twain who also said almost the exact same thing. Sorry đ¤

Hey, anything worth saying is worth repeating, and there is nothing new under the sun saith the Preacher... đ

Exactly. And didn't he also say, "there is no end to the making of book, and much study is wearisome to the body." ? I've always loved Ecclesiastes!

Well I could have used this article last week when a Cingular customer was trying to send messages to his gf who had nextel and it wouldnt go through...he was gonna try to get her to switch to Cingy anyway...aww poor nextel đ

That's nice, but maybe this should be in the NEXTEL forum?? Or maybe it is flame bait? I think the latter is the purpose of it...
