kelel01 1 #1 November 16, 2007 Just watching "I love the 90's" on VH1, and they did a bit on beepers. I remember how much I LOVED my beautiful translucent green beeper. Damn, that's funny now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #8 November 16, 2007 I'm simply going to impose a 30-day suspension on your man card. Go drink some beer, watch a couple of football games, and squeeze some titties, and I'll reinstate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #11 November 16, 2007 Mine was black. I hated it. Not because it was black. I just hated carrying around a beeper because I was being paged non-stop for the stupidest things. I tended to conveniently 'forget' it and leave it on my desk. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes... and it is on vibrate when I'm in public, but if I want to take it off (like when I'm home and *cough* comfortable) then I need to be able to hear the silly thing.
