Slip Sliding Away...
I screwed the pooch yesterday. As I was figuratively juggling three phone calls on the cell whilst wallowing in the cement pond I literally found myself juggling the cell, it having slipped my surly bonds. For one brief moment I thought I had it, my fingertips arching desperately.
But no. It was the Nestea Plunge for the old war horse. Was alcohol involved? Oh, hell yes.
But that's not the point. The point, other than the fact I am a certified spaz, is this pup will never power on again. There's a hundred phone numbers lost to the ages.
So if I had your number (and even if I didn't) please e-mail it to me, so I can replicate the inventory when my new phone arrives Tuesday.
I also accept nudes, tit shots, fingerings, tongue stylings, facials, and chained heat action. It's G Mail! The G stands for Give it to V Daddy. I'll take it all.
Update: I tried Paul's denatured alcohol cure, but all it did was make my room smell like the pediatrician's office when I was a boy. I kept expecting a hypodermic needle in my arse, and Dr. M. gratuitously hefting my ballsies again.
Checked him for hernia seven times, Mrs. C! He's all good!
Thank you, doctor!
Funny, I think mine is floating in the Atlantic somewhere. V-Daddy, how will we text each other now? This is far too depressing.
Posted by: Erica at June 24, 2007 11:06 PMInteresting. Mine made a trip through the washer and dryer recently. I've never done that before.
I can't blame the booze, just the rush to shed my trousers while my other half was hunting for items to fill a laundry machine load.
The unexplained clunking in the dryer was what finally revealed the disaster.

Posted by: Elisson at June 25, 2007 9:15 AMGeez, if you and Erica wanted new phones THAT badly, all ya had to do was ask. Is this a new trend? Actually, now that I think about it, I would like one of those new Razor phones; maybe Porkchop would get me a new one if I "accidently" lost it or dropped it into a beverage...hmmm...VERY interesting...
Posted by: Chickie at June 25, 2007 9:55 AMMan oh man... you and Erica and cell phones. No phones in the pool. Get thee a bluetooth enabled phone, put the ear piece in and leave the phone high and dry. No fumble fingers to leave you phoneless. *grin*
Posted by: Teresa at June 25, 2007 10:46 AMVman... immerse the phone in denatured alcohol. (NOT the alcohol that caused the mishap in the first place!) and then leave the phone to dry thoroughly somewhere warm for a day or 2.
May not work due to the delay and the chlorine, but worth a shot, even if just long enough to get the #'s off it. (The alcohol displaces the water from the circuits - helps if you can at least partially disassemble the phone too.)
Or maybe you're just as happy to flush some of those old connections?

Posted by: Light & Dark at June 25, 2007 12:28 PMPull the sim card, water won't affect that.
I pulled the same stunt a few years back.
You can have the phone boys transfer all the info for about five bucks, free if you're buying a new phone from em.
It's a conspiracy, I suspect! Husband's phone went through the washing machine this week! I think Verizon is behind it. Those aren't just phone towers. They also send out amnesia and spazz waves that disrupt the nerve signals in your muscles and make you drop your phone. It's tied to a database somewhere that tracks the company's sales. When sales figures dip, signals go out to subscribers to make them ruin their phones. Then they've got you by the short hairs. Pay for the phone or subscribe for another two years?
Seriously, though, husband's phone works except for the display. Got any suggestions? Not interested in spending that much for a new phone.
Posted by: PeggyU at June 25, 2007 3:55 PMIf nobody calls, you'll know it's me.
Or... I'll know it's you - or vice versa.
Thank goodness. Maybe now I'll get a break from all of those late-night, weepy calls, ya fucking pussy.
Posted by: zonker at June 26, 2007 12:43 AMAm I the only dork in the whole world that pays the extra $2.50/month insurance to insure a replacement in case of loss or breakage? On second thought, don't answer that. I probably am. Have I ever used /needed it? Nope. Could I buy one of those snazzy new iPhones with the $$ I've spent on said insurance? Prob'ly. When you go to get a new phone, thay can probably load all your numbers straight into the new one from their computers -- with or without the sim card. Ya think they don't keep track of that isht?
Posted by: Marianne at June 26, 2007 3:14 AMI buy the insurance, too, Marianne. Welcome to Suckers Not-So-Anonymous.
Posted by: zonker at June 26, 2007 9:33 AMHusband replaced his phone today. Our souls have been sold to Verizon for another 2 years. It is a pretty, shiny phone though.
Posted by: Peggy U at June 27, 2007 2:53 AMCould be that you need to put the phone in a ziploc while at the pool. A tiny bit more dfficult to hear, but still works fine.
Posted by: og at June 27, 2007 12:30 PMDamn man I hate it, the next day, when that shit happens... I've killed pagers fishin, cell phones in the Hawt Tub, but never have I dropped a baby ruth in the pool.
Posted by: RedNeck at June 27, 2007 5:42 PMBoy am I feeling smart now. My strategy is to leave the cursed thing on my desk and never use it since I never learned how anyway. Haven't had to replace it yet.
