Wherein I Seeth with Rage

867
What was this struggling trailer monkey ordering you ask? $600 mp3 player sunglasses. Yes, this man who does not even have a phone or enough braincells to rub together to keep the inside of his skull warm during the winter, apparently has a computer loaded with mp3's just waiting to be uploaded to his fantastic new sunglasses. I will graciously grant that maybe, just maybe he realizes that the glasses can somehow play music. However, I can only picture him sitting in his kitchen / tool shed, futilely trying to jab an old Alabama cassette tape into the USB port while his girlfriend periodically interrupts him to demand he move an engine block so she can make Kraft Dinner.

Maybe he justs wants it to play an endless loop of "Breath in......Breath out"

Sometimes I wonder why the powers that be didn't have the foresight to grant me the ability to melt people's faces with my mind. Then I think about the trail of damp, carpet staining corpses I'd leave across the entire continent and realize exactly why they didn't.

If not the continent, then at least the 867 Area code. Or is that an argument to give you that superpower?

Sounds like my high school. When they first introduced Info Tech ( Interweb class! ) they didn't actually have any teachers versed in it. So the Comp Sci teacher taught one class and the accounting teacher ( God help her ) taught the other. I was in both classes. I was in the Comp Sci teacher's class to harvest material ( As his class was always ahead of hers ) then in her class to be the class TA ( Teacher's Aid/Assistant ). She'd do the talking, I'd do the student to student roaming to help with specific questions.

As one of only 2 giga-geeks in my grade I was readily exploited. ;p

The weird thing is that I'm not a geek. I know geeks; they loose me quickly in the comp discussions. And yet, the fact that I can operate the damn thing some how makes me the know-all wonder-person.

The worst part about this teacher isn't just the loosing herself; there are a lot of teachers that can only teach out of the book. (Though I think they should be in high school, not college.) It's that she doesn't even listen to herself. A few weeks ago was intro class where she went over what things were, including taskbar. This Wed, when another student had to help her because I wasn't paying attention, she was told to right-click on the taskbar, and she pointed to the Start Button and said "This?"
"No, beside that."
(Points to time.) "This? That's the clock. I don't think I'm supposed to click on that." (Starts to ignore student and try to fix the problem herself.)
(Desperate) "Nononono! Between them! That's the bar! The part between!"
(Points to the desktop.) "You mean here?"
You can fill in the next three minutes yourself.

MP3 Sunglasses?

GK, you are hilarious all the time, but I just know you made that shit up. Or else you didn't and that just makes it even funnier if it's true

What kind of pop culture tragic accident victim would actually buy nonsense like that? Wait....don't tell me......

[Broomjockey]

He's really not making them up. I've seen them. The player bit is on the arm of the glasses near the lenses, and the ear buds curl off the ends of the arms. The Oakleys ones don't look too horrible, but still, wtf. Some people will do anything to be hip/keep up with the Jonses/carry less stuff in their pockets.

[myswtghst]

Oakley also teamed up to make ones with Bluetooth technology so you could talk on your phone via your sunglasses. Don't ask why I know this. I don't own them, but I might work for a company that makes/sells them.

[Killer Bees]

OMG

I can't imagine what kind of tragic would need stupid gizmos like that.

I see these wankers with blue tooths (teeth?) in their ears and I automatically think "bionic ear"

As if you're so important that you need to be on the phone all the time

I'm all for technology, but not for it's own sake. It has to be useful and wanky-less. I guess I should get myself to a nunnery then

I keep thinking of the new Dr. Who episodes with the cybermen in the alternate universe.

I agree with you, except about my boss' boss when I was interning at the congressman's office. He was moving between offices all the time and recieving calls. It was weird when he would be on the phone talking to someone and you'd realize it wasn't you.

I recently got a phone that can act as a pda and an mp3 player, whatever the heck the term is, so that I don't have to carry around as much junk in my pockets, and I got bluetooth stereo headphones so I'm not always catching the wire on stuff (I HATED the "ack! I'm caught!" act I was always pulling). It didn't even dawn on me at first that I could use this headset to talk on the phone. heh.

If I Could Somehow Hate you to Death....

A shirt just for the occasion!

Actually, Killer Bees, I've seen the GM and the AMs at my store use BlueTooth headsets to good effect so they can keep making pizzas while handling driver issues, etc.

She didn't feel the need to wear a skirt in ranger mode either, so that made her infinitely cooler!

That would be because the American Power Rangers show borrowed clips of the suited characters from the show Super Sentai Rangers from Japan, and in that show, Trini was male. Thus, no skirt. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[Geek King]

Yes he was, but I liked the blue ranger too. I'm attracted to the geeky types and for a 7 year old girl he was dreamy.

<<Geek King checks his breath and puts on his best pair of glasses>>

No tights, but I'm not afraid to wear a kilt.

[Acolyte]

"FSCKING", "Trailer-ape", "ditchdwelling", "inbred", "nasal beast", "asshat", "windowlicker", "shit weasel", "escaped from the maw of natural selection", "walking genetic failure", "intrepid ass mining rectal explorer", "festering rectal polyp", "Painful cyst on the very colon of human society" or "Has the mental capabilities of the shitcrust stuck to the fur around a persian's asshole."

You have the best insults EVER.

[Tigress]

Dammit! You beat me to it!

Yeah, the original Japanese series only had one female character. Saban simply overdubbed the original fight scenes and filmed new "unmasked" scenes with American actors.

Interestingly enough, three of the original American actors (Trini, Zach and ?Jon/Red Ranger) in the first series left because they threatened to walk out if they didn't get more money. The producers told them to hit the bricks and hired all new actors that were all too eager to join up.

[technical.angel]

I'm going to get like 5 and name them all after Power Rangers. ( The Green Ranger's my favourite. He was dreamy~ )

Yes, yes he was.... sigh.............

She still insisted on reading the entire god damn thing to me in the most slack jawed monotone. All the while her kids screaming in the background.

Should have asked her to put one of the kids on the line ala the 12:00 flasher comedian.
