ParticipantYou know, if you hold the phone with your hand touching the wrap-around bezel, your cell signal drops to zero, but your skull can then pick up HAM radio signals from Eastern Europe.
This is a little known fact of the iPhone gen4.
Twist your nose to tune in a HAM signal.
You’ll be able to hear Dilbert-type geeks from around the world who are searching HAM radio for their first date (or sounds of alien life), or both. If you open your mouth sometimes nearby friends can hear your skull listening in on these geek mating calls.
However, please note you need to know your Morse code if you want to get your HAM radio license. There is probably an iPhone app that teaches that.
Oh, and “bezel” is pronounced like “bee-zill” rhymes with “weasel” (another word for British Petroleum executives)

June 24, 2010 at 5:20 PM in reply to: is the new Smart Move to BUY a home for strategic default? #570998Participant“I just say, he should get new friends 🙂 ”
Even my sister is one of them. I’m not going to stop speaking to my own sister based on her financial choices.
She stopped paying mortgage, car payments, and credit card debit. Living rent-free in her SFH for 1.5 years now. Lives on unemployment, welfare and food stamps, health care paid for by the state, plus charging things on her credit cards that she doesn’t make payments on.
I thought to myself: “maybe i’m the foolish one. I’m WORKING for a living. She’s the friggin’ smart one!”

June 24, 2010 at 4:59 PM in reply to: is the new Smart Move to BUY a home for strategic default? #570938ParticipantI have had this actual conversation with multiple friends and relatives. This is America’s story. This is unsustainable.
Me: “Hi, just calling to say hi and ask how’s it going?”
Friend: “Oh, great, I’m out shopping right now?”
Me: “Shopping? I thought you lost your job?”
Friend: “Well, we have some extra money”
Me: “Extra money? Where’s your money tree?”
Friend: “Well, you know I stopped paying our mortgage two years ago. Those darn banks deserve nothing after they manipulated us to sign their liar loans. So we’re living rent-free.”
Friend: “Plus we stopped paying our credit card bills. We had racked up about $50K, but those darn banks deserve nothing ’cause they charge too high interest rates”
Friend: “Oh, yeah, plus we got an extension on my unemployment”
Me: “OK, I see. You’ve got extra money to spend. Great.”
Friend: “It seems so!”
Me: “I guess that’s why the economy shows signs of recovering?”
Friend: “I don’t worry ’bout all that economy stuff; I just know we got some extra money to spend now. Gotta go, arriving at Macy’s now…”

“Quite frankly, with the way the govt has screwed over responsible buyers and savers, I think the idea of buying with the intent of strategically defaulting is brilliant and it’s giving the govt EXACTLY what it’s asking for.
