For every person in the tech field who ever had their dummy text go live (or, as in my case, your real social security number blasted all over the Internet), here’s a screen shot of the help window in the 60 minutes iPad app.
I would lose this every time.
Introducing our new game called:
“Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.”
The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check.
Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.
Rules:
1) The game starts after everyone has ordered.
2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down.
3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.
4) Loser of the game pays for the bill.
5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
Variations/house rules:
-Starting the game after everyone is seated.
-In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players.
- Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems.
Notes:
- No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones.
- You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes.
- I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k.
- I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =).
- Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life.
YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH ABOUT WHAT WE DONE, YOU HEAR ME, MUFFINS? WE DIDN’T DO NOTHING. THERE’S NO BODY, GET ME? THERE’S NO EVIDENCE, UNLESS YOU FLAP YOUR STUPID GUMS.
DOES THAT HURT, MUFFINS? DOES IT? BECAUSE IT’S NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT I’LL DO IF YOU OPEN THAT FLYTRAP OF YOURS AGAIN.
PEOPLE DISAPPEAR. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
YOU NEVER SAW A THING.
Ben: I was completely flustered, I came off like an idiot. I mean, at one point, for no reason, I just took off my shoes and held them in my hand.

It’s only “gray” for some women because we’re taught to second-guess ourselves, because we’re taught that if we’re raped it’s somehow our fault — that we must have given some signal that we wanted it, that we must not have protested enough, that we wore the wrong thing or said…
I knew a dog like this in highschool.
Perfect description of how I feel today. Now off to design a login screen.
Another revision of this awesome chart.
I recently signed up for Google Voice so I could my voicemail transcribed and sent to me via text without having to pay 6.95/month to youmail. The texts I receiver, let’s just say, aren’t helpful. But while the texts may lack a little something in accuracy, they positively soar in terms of poetic genius, as evidenced by this Rumsfeldian bit of genius posted by some other guy.
I actually couldn’t care less about a world without Keith Olbermann, but I really like imagining a world with a Countdown with Kanye West.
Heartbreaking Loyalty of the Day: “A dog, “Leao”, sits for a second consecutive day, next to the grave of her owner, Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died in the week’s catastrophic landslides in Brazil.”
If it takes forever…
