Popularity rank 56 #51. Needing a video iPod

October 14, 2005

GREG: Brett, Apple announced the video iPod! Can't wait to get it!
BRETT: You're BUYING one? You just bought the Nano! You're not pissed off?!

GREG: Pissed off? No! Why? There's a new little bundle of joy in the iPod family!
BRETT: Greg! Don't you see they do this just to suck more money out of you?

GREG: Brett, Apple's not like that. The release dates just... worked out that way. And it's not like they WANT things to be expensive. They... they can't help it.

BRETT: You sound like a battered wife, you toolbox.
GREG: Apple... Apple loves its customers so much... and sometimes... love hurts.

Popularity rank 57 #50. Filling an iPod Nano

October 13, 2005

GREG: Now, my iPod Nano is 4GB, so it can't fit my whole iTunes library like my regular iPod. I'll need a strategy for which stuff makes the cut.

GREG: Clearly, a dynamic playlist makes sense, but do I order the songs by most recently added or most often played?

GREG: And there's the issue of podcasts. Obviously I want my favorites on there, but their large filesizes pose a problem.

BRETT: Hey, don't you need to get to work?
GREG: Took the week off. NOW... I've drawn up several endgame scenarios....

Popularity rank 58 #49. Protecting an iPod Nano

October 12, 2005

GREG: AUGH! BRETT!! Be careful with my new Nano!!!
BRETT: Jesus, I was just going to pick it up, Greg!

GREG: iPod Nanos scratch VERY easily, Brett. I've only been touching it once a day. The rest of the time I leave it out of direct sunlight, inside this sealed glass case filled with oxygen.

BRETT: Mmm.

BRETT: So... you enjoying it so far?
GREG: Oh yeah, keeping myself further from it really reinforces how SMALL it is.

Popularity rank 59 #47. Needing an iPod Nano

October 10, 2005

GREG: I need an iPod Nano, Brett. It's impossibly small. I NEED it.
BRETT: Greg. No. You already have a regular iPod....

GREG: And I need the Apple lanyard headphones so my Nano can hang from my neck. I NEED that.
BRETT: You have an iPod Shuffle, too. And an iPod Photo.

GREG: I'll need the more expensive 4GB Nano, of course.
BRETT: And inexplicably, Greg, you have FIVE iPod Minis.

GREG: Because the 4GB's a better value, Brett. And I... I need value.
BRETT: Steve Jobs thinks about people like you when he masturbates, Greg.

Popularity rank 60 #35. Outdoor concerts

August 16, 2005

BRETT: Why again do I go to summer outdoor concerts? The bugs? The overpriced, warm beer? The obnoxious, sweaty, all ages crowd?

BRETT: The bands look like ants from here, and the songs sound either poorly rehearsed or banal and mechanical. This is lame, Greg. This is totebags lame.

GREG: Well, but when you have kids, you get to tell them you saw this band live.

BRETT: Screw my kids, man. I'm getting a slurpee.
GREG: Yeah... mmph. This opening band has me considering a vasectomy.
