TAKE ALL OF YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANK!
Guys at my high school brought their blackberries to bed, set them to vibrate, and used them as sex toys all the time. It was no big deal.
Seriously Elie, "in which case you have badder fish to fry"? I think the expression is bigger fish to fry. I am those that pleaded for the others to give you a break but this has gone on long enough use the darned spellcheck and proofread PLEASE
I started a thread in the community section about the effect of the wall street bust on the legal industry...please comment!
I am an instrument of God's will.

From the jump page "More than a third of those surveyed - 35 percent - said if forced to make a choice, they'd stick with their PDA over their spouse, and 62 percent said that they love their little high-tech companions. "
These are people using their vibrating PDAs for other than their intended use. . . .
RE: Badder Fish.
Okay okay, I'm no fan of Elie.
But I'm way less of a fan of spelling/grammar Nazis that regularly comment on the board. For the heck of it, I googled the phrase "badder fish." Its use is in the minority, sure. But other people use the expression "badder fish to fry."
It's even in the script to Batman Returns. I'd go so far as to guess that Elie has sufficient nostalgia for early-90's pop culture to have actually referenced the movie.
So please, those of you who want to criticize Elie, don't do so on retarded stuff. It dilutes the legit criticism.
