Not very creative, but all I could think of today. Show me your phone, your friend's phone, even your Mom's phone. Cell phones are so popular and personalized these days, why not show me one of those. Or if you don't have one, how about some other type of phone, even an antique. This is my cell phone. I really don't like these things and hardly ever use it. I have for emergencies mainly. The expression on Squidward's face pretty much sums up how I feel about cell phones. ;]

Star Trek!! :) I got no cell phone. I'm reachable by homephone, email and phone at work, I don't want to be available 24/7.

Was he trying to phone home ? :))

Hello, anybody there, no, I can't hear you very well, sorry I'm gonna have to hang up ............ Ok, this is the first 'Simon Says' to which I have contributed. I don't really like phones, especially mobiles, still I have one, don't really use it which is why after 5 years it is still in pristine condition. I hate the way people think you should always answer your phone if you have a mobile, so I don't... muuuuahhhh !!!! I took this shot about 5 mins ago, after I figured out that I the camera way too close for it too auto focus in such low light. I tried to be creative, not as creative as Tedz mind. Just the light from my computer monitor, the phone light, and waving about the red light from my optical mouse. 10 sec exopsure @ ISO 200, F11 I think. Just cropped a little. David

Isn't technology just great! Remember back when to USE a CELL phone...ya actually had to be in JAIL/PRISON! (LOL) Its really getting out of hand! At the market, mall, even the beach isn't safe! I looovee being part of someone elses conversation! Ya ever go out to enjoy a nice bite to eat and suddenly someones "Play the Funky Musak" ringtone goes off?! Then they talk like they are the only person in the place! "Ralph did WHAT with WHO...NO WAY! Oh...MY...GAWD! You've GOT to BE Kiddin'!" TALK about annoying! I have one...but I use it very rarely! I know all about computers, but can't add a # to my phonebook or access my voicemail for the life of me! L8r! Joe

Why din ya callllll! Just a few in my posession. I actually spend less than an hour on a phone each week. I leave the cell in the van and let it answer itself. Mainly because I forget to keep it on me. Whatever....they can phone back if important. But then I will forget to listen to voicemail.

I don't know where that Dutch came from in your picture dB, but it's horrendous :D

A great mix of phones here ... I love that one of yours Cyn! This is my mobile, a few years old now but does the trick. Graeme's got the newer fancier one but he uses his a lot for work and mine only gets used ocassionally ... Noeline

3DGuy posted Sat, 18 June 2005 at 7:50 AM

Well.. the words are Dutch, but in that order it doesn't mean anything. I get the feeling it's translated word for word. for instance: Bereik uit aan me I know it comes word for word from Reach out to me. But it means in Dutch Range off on me ?!? Better translation would be something like Neem eens contact met me op and telefoneer ooit me would be Bel me eens

Ah well, since we're talking about translations I must say that the "telephonez moi autrefois" doesn't make much sense either! LOL! I'm wondering what the "autrefois" is doing here!! O_o Strange! LOL!

3DGuy posted Sat, 18 June 2005 at 9:56 AM

Babelfishisms I guess :) Babelfish is great for at least understanding what a person is talking about in a strange language, but I wouldn't use it for these kinds of things :) So hey dB.. if you ever need something translated into Dutch.. IM me, I'll be happy to help.

Autrefois means A long time ago. Or "sometime ago" if u prefer! Thx for the translation Doug but really! ;P
