how it happened

earlier tonight, i decided to hop on xbox live for a bit. but first i had to fix my headset..which took lots and lots of electrical tape.

looking at the remnants of my cell phone later on, i noticed that a) it still turned on and b) the headset jack was on the base. suddenly, i had an idea.

at first the plug's casing was too round for to get though, so i had to mod my cell phone a bit. all i had was a pair of scissors though, so it was a bit...rough.

but in the end, it all worked out and i made a few calls. no $50 deductible for me, no way.

You know your not ever gonna have to worry about if the condom broke now or not. You sir are going to kill your sperm quicker than a spermicide with that phone.

??? Unless BC isn't telling us something then he is making calls with that and not smashing his balls with it.

Radiation you screw up anything with those phones and it boosts the radioactivity by at least 200% or so. At least thats what my local news told me. So yeah dont keep that thing in your pocket.

How do you know when someone calls?
Do you have to constantly wear the headset?
it vibrates, maybe? let me have someone call.

while i'm waiting...sure, i won't be able to access my phone book or see who's calling or even check the time (my phone doubles as a watch for me). and yea, maybe i won't be able to tell when i missed a call or have a voicemail, but....it beats the $50 deductible the greedy insurance company demands.

alright, someone just called.

i have to watch for the keypad to light up, that signals an incoming call. doesn't vibrate anymore, and it may ring through the headset if i didn't have it set on silent mode. sadly, i don't have any idea on how to turn it off without the LCD.

Just dont be coming back to me when you want to have kids and they're all killed.

Sit in front of a computer/use a microwave/drive under powerlines/use a cordless phone/live in a house built over naturally occuring radon much?

we encounter radiation all the time, cell phone use is probably at the end of a long list of worries (even a busted one).

You know when they Xray your chest at the hospital and cover up your boys with lead? You are exposed to 20 times more doses of radiation annually simply from naturally occuring "household" radon.

A cross country airplane flight is roughly half of the "doses" of a chest Xray and you don't wear protection during those.

That isn't to say that modern forms of pollution, specifically increased exposure to electromagnetic radiation are not worrysome issues. I just don't think this broken cell phone is going to hurt BuddyC's testies. Now if it were to explode in his pocket ;)

:lol

I <3 you buddyc.


BTW...I saw you, yes, you, at the Texans game yesterday. Weirded me out. At least you weren't wearing your badger(?) suit. I swear this guy looked like the mental image of you I have. :/


Edit: HOLY FUCKING SHIT ED LUVA....I'm fucking laughing my ass off here in the computer lab at school. I'm gonna fucking get kicked out. :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol
 
That's not the worst I've seen actually. I saw someone with a candybar phone (I think it was a Nokia) with DUCKTAPE all around it. I guess they dropped, it shattered, and they taped it together with ducktape.

You know, they have really cheap replacement phones on eBay. Plus, most cell phone providers have those phones in blister packs for calling card/no contract service. You could buy one of those, provided Verizon sells that kind of service or another carrier has a compatible service. You'd just have to call them up and tell them you have a replacement phone.
