I make fun of my sister's 281 cell number.

Which Outer-Loop strip mall cell phone outlet store did she sign up for her plan from?

Does having an 818 help when telling the young girls in the bars that you're a "producer?" And that you'd like them to "audition" for you (hi ncs!)?

313 was once all of Southeast Michigan, now it's just Detroit. BUT I can say I grew up in the three-one-three. gives me street cred.

They probably put her in 323 when they heard she just wanted "whatever the free phone is". Totally blew her BH cred.

Heh. I did it on the internet. Because I don't like people. But you are right -- if I'd shelled out for the RAZR or whatever, I prob would have gotten 310.

Dammit!

I can't remember what the area codes were in Dallas -- 214, 646 I think, uh something involving a 7 or an 8 over by Ft. Worth. I hate the having to dial a 1 here sometimes -- to call next door??? I have to dial a 1 to call my home phone, and it's the same area code. Stupid LA.

They're called "cycling" shorts. Bikers are motorcyclists.

Now, Lizard Boy...

Dude. I'm under the impression that everything is about me. I was just trying (unsuccessfully) to make this about me and not fringey. Clearly, it's all about fringey.

That's not what you said. You said 323 has less history. Because the snob in you wanted a BH area code. Admit it.

I don't know about the snob thing, but I know exactly the problem she is talking about. When I lived in LA my work phone, cell phone and home phone all had different area codes. I also hard a consulting job and that job had a number with a fourth area code (in the Valley).

Now my work, home, cell, and political number, all have the same area code. Much easier.

Unfortunately, that line only works until they see the 818 in the number, then they laugh and ask for a ride to their boyfriend's house in Sherman Oaks. They are not bright enough to know that many of the world's best studios are in the 818. Represent.

She got it through work. No amount of arguing that the number hinders her job performance could persuade them to change it. The development director also got a 281 number. Much to his horror.

It always has been, and always will be about Fringey.

If it helps, he told me he was drunk and didn't really know what he was doing. And it was just that one time.

1. Since they are live they are the same as if they were fumbles, hence the quotes around "passes".

2. None of the passes/fumbles were forward, so the Stabler Rule did not apply even though there were -3 seconds left.

I think this means I agree with what you said.

Let's give kudos to Mangini and the coaching staff for putting a good squad on the field for that play. Pennington and Brad Smith were both heavily involved, as were a bunch of receivers and a few blockers. This is exactly who you need for a play like this*, not your usual KR team.

*unless you have Frank Wycheck and are playing against a team that was cursed for benching Flutie come playoff time.

arguing about what Houston neighborhood you're from strikes me like fighting for a top bunk at Aushwitz.

I think Shafter's still in the running with me.
