Popularity rank 56 #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 57 #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 58 #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.

Popularity rank 59 #34. Starting a podcast

August 9, 2005

GREG: In addition to my LiveJournal and my Flickr feed, I've decided to start my own podcast....
BRETT: That audio blog thing? Man, why do you produce all that crap?

GREG: Why? Why?!? Because my voice aches to be heard! Because the world needs to hear what I have to say! Because it is my right! Because I can!!

GREG: And because it doesn't take too much effort.

BRETT: Well, thank God the Internet has now empowered you to create pointless content in every possible medium.
GREG: Just makin' that long tail a l'il longer, baby!
