This has nothing to do with video games...

Post by Luke »

..but thought I'd share.

Almost everything has gone wrong for me today, from my windshield wipers not working, to getting a flat, to my PC not working, to losing a potential client, whose fee could have paid for my anniversary vacation.

Something else happened that at first ticked me off, but then I got a laugh out of it:
On a busy intersection, there was a bum panhandling, cardboard sign and all, while talking on an Iphone.

That bum is hiding something.

Maybe he is crazy and just talking into an ipod touch.

Probably an app showing GPS locations of high-traffic, high-charity areas. A modern bum has to become saavy to survive.

I think you are on to something.

Almost have to respect a bum on the cutting edge of bummery.

He should upgrade to an ipad and use that instead of the cardboard sign. While holding a starbucks coffee and telling everyone "Thanks a latte."

He was next to a Starbucks!

You two must be in cahoots.

This is actually a new phenomenon. I myself have seen a woman out front of a department store 'spanging' while holding a child in one arm and talking on the newest Iphone available.

In addition, there is a homeless guy that hangs out around the thrift stores in my local downtown area, who not only uses his iphone, but also uses an ipod to listen to music simultaneously...while asking me for a cigarette.
