"...but since you are

**Camel Toad** · 02-21-2007, 10:38 PM

the last person on the planet without a cell"

I've been told this a few times in the past week. Is this true? I can't believe it.
Anyone else not have one of these things. Or am I really that out of it?

For what it's worth I don't have a tv either, I hear voices...from the devil

**backpack** · 02-21-2007, 10:46 PM

I don't have a TV either, but I do have a cell phone.

You are indeed one of the last... at least for me a cell is cheaper than a landline.

**Tippster** · 02-21-2007, 11:03 PM

I've had a cell phone for well over a decade and work in TV. I'm the anti-you.

**Chainsaw_Willie** · 02-21-2007, 11:09 PM

You are not alone.

I don't have cable TV, either.

I love not being at everyone's beck and call constantly. Cell phones, for all their convenience, have turned us into slaves to anyone who wants a minute or more of our time.

The devil speaks in small, black font?

Been there, done that, don't need the bills.

**cj001f** · 02-22-2007, 01:01 AM

5 million Indians are laughing at you this month alone.

I've had only a cellphone for 8 years. With the included long distance it's been as cheap as a land line for every one of those years. It mostly sits on my desk at home.

**Singel** · 02-22-2007, 01:57 AM

I also don't have a cell, but that's only because I don't have any friends

DisArray · 02-22-2007, 03:42 AM

Daaaamn... you are like that Brandon Frazier guy from the fifties in that one movie.

i think every cell phone has caller id and an off button. just because you have it, doesnt mean you have to answer it.

**steve** · 02-22-2007, 08:06 AM

I can beat that:

I'm the last person in the world who hasn't seen "Top Gun"

**SheSkisTrees** · 02-22-2007, 08:17 AM

We don't have a cell phone because they are USELESS in Northern Vermont. If we had one, it would be used for emergencies only, and any place we'd be having an emergency has no cell service.

So that's the reason you're the only one who hasn't given me shit about my handle.

Truth. I love being able to weed out and choose who I want to talk to, and when.

Cell phone service sucks in the UP, too. It gives you an easy out when you pull a fez, though.

Umm...I think he means Indians from India.
They are our new overlords of everything electronic.

Native Americans use smoke signals and have not been refered to as "Indians" since 1980.

**jeffmoore** · 02-22-2007, 12:25 PM

no cell phone, no cable. actually i was having a discussion with my gf the other night about what % of americans dont have cell phones, she thought it would be quite small, i figured 50, comeon there's kids and oldies and bitter crotchety hold outs like me.

**Storm11** · 02-22-2007, 12:30 PM

No Cell, No cable/satellite/whatever.... I am an admitted Netflix addict though.

**F#*k you cat** · 02-22-2007, 12:54 PM

No cell here either

both me and my wife

as everyone else is suffering from various brain tumors we'll be skiing deep pow (unless global warming takes hold then we'll all be f*cked)

**Dantheman** · 02-22-2007, 01:03 PM

Totally gave up a landline 3 years ago an haven't looked back. Honestly, if you live in an area where coverage is good a cell is far superior to a landline. I can call anywhere in the country without paying extra, I can take it anywhere when I want to and I can leave it at home or turn the fucker off when I don't want to be bothered, caller ID tells me who is calling me and I can decide if I want to answer or not (if your # isn't in my phone you'd better leave a message because I'm not gonna pick up), and thanks to the vibrate feature I never have to hear it ring in the first place.

Ya'll are a bunch of elitist luddite assholes
