Well, of course, that qualifies you perfectly.....too much money for too little product

You're elected!

I would get a smart phone if all those features were free, but alas I must be very frugal. I have a pre-paid phone. I use the phone so little when I buy a $20, 60 minute card it lasts for several months. I wish I could block texts, I keep getting spam texts that cost me half a minute per. I called the company and they said I can't.

Hey!!! Who's in charge around here anyway!

I thought the chicken was president.

Hey! What's KennyC doing in our thread? Can't we have a thread ignore a member? Is that a new feature request?

Well, it isn't YOU, so quit disqualifying my staff!

And the chicken is on my hit list right now.....stupid chicken, won't even tell us who did it until AFTER the contest ends......

kennyc · 11-12-2010, 02:17 PM

Ah, so that's what it's really about....the silly contest.....

Update from Graham land.

Spoke to Three this afternoon. Was paying £15 per month just for talk and text on my old Sony Ericcson. Now paying £10 a month for loads more (unneeded) talk and text, and 2 GB internet.

Great deal, of course. But... all I have to do now is buy an unlocked Android phone and the wrath of DesertGrandma will descend.

And I can hear Kenny's small but insistent voice... "Go on, Graham, buy it, buy it Graham, you know you want to, buy a Droid, Graham..."

Oh dear...

Graham

See the little "unutterably silliness" thingy next to the thread?

That means this whole thread is a joke.....meant to sign up people for a fictional support group.........and just have fun with it.

So just run with it, okay? Stop worrying about cost, reasoning, etc. Stop being 'serious'.

Text me your qualifications (and gratuities offered) for the above openings.

It just so happens that the screen is big and moving pictures show up really really well.

Umm, well, OK, I guess it's not a good idea to have me be refreshment chairman or treasurer.

Wait! I got it! I can be the VP! I"ll just sit back, enjoy all the perks, and not have to do anything.

Yep. I'm still going for this one. I am really good at enjoying all the perks, and not letting anyone know I'm doing anything.

I better not see any KFC franchise for this thread!

Oooo yum. And to think, all I was going to do was demonstate that showing videos on my phone was bad, as I passed refreshments around.

All you have to do is jump in a bucket and yell, "food!"

You're nominated!
