Power it off, pop out the sim card, and drop it in a ziplock bag of uncooked rice for 24 hours.

Good as new.

I worked on a yacht back in 2005 that was over 345 twinkie's in length, or you can use "zinger's" as your measurement if you're cool enough to remember them. It was a nice boat.

When I was in elementary I was required to learn metric along with American farmhand measurement system. To great expense of American taxpayers. At least now I'm not greatly overwhelmed working on aging European vehicles. It would be easier on everyone if we just went the the twinkle system.

Had a really weird text conversation with a CraigsList seller this weekend... We're kinda shopping around for a car for my wife, and she wanted to try a Mini Cooper on for size, so I looked up a couple that looked interesting on the Sioux Falls CL and sent a text to one of the sellers. ( http://siouxfalls.craigslist.org/cto/4648557387.html )

Image Image

I was starting to think the guy was jerking me around... As it turned out, I transposed the last two digits of the phone number in the CL ad. And the guy I contacted by texting the wrong number actually had a Mini Cooper for sale. What are the odds? :shock:

It wouldn't have been Kyle, would it? :shock:

Dave, it's possible you simply got trolled. Read more here: http://www.wrongnumbertexts.com/

Warning: Some of them are certainly NSFW, and many are ridiculously funny.

I'd agree. Interesting that Maggie has a 337 number though.

Of course, this guy could be a really lazy serial killer.

It didn't, but it was a similar wheel. They have a really nice dish, too.
