    I had one in Alaska since it made my cable and internet bill $3 cheaper. Never plugged it in though.

      I have a land line because when a storm comes, power goes out, cell phone towers go down, you can still use a land line to call people. So during hurricane Irene, that land line came in handy.

        Cell phone towers don't really go down during hurricanes. It's usually the flooding that causes the cell service outage. For the most part cell companies did really good with Irene.

          I had decent service during that hurricane. It was reaching 911 that was the issue. My neighborhood was a warzone from the flooding. Random fires and all.

            The NCAA has to be the stupidest people ever.

            According to the The Oklahoman, three unnamed Oklahoma student-athletes ate more pasta than the NCAA rules allowed for during a graduation banquet.

              I had a similar problem when I first got my cell phone, though not quite as frequent. One day I was walking down the street when my phone rang and it was a debt collection agency again. Guy says something to the effect of "I understand you have a debt" and me being the calm and polite person I am basically snarled into the phone "NO I DON'T, STOP CALLING ME" and angrily hung up. Never got another call from them again.

                          We have a landline and it's 90% telemarketers, I have fun w/ it now though. I answer the phone in a Chinese accent and say "Golden Dragon Café, may I take yo orda" ...once a guy was like yea can I get some General Tso and Egg Foo Young, he was pretty funny, because after each thing he said, I would say 15 minute, 15 minute LOL.

                            Technically, a word does not have form until it is used, Tebowing is for example a word. But wouldn't be found in a dictionary.

                            So if I said operationsportsswag, it's now a word, that doesn't mean it's recognized though.

                            Tepidest is now a word, congratulations

                                That must have been a ridiculous report write up for Oklahoma officials. "And the aforementioned players ate 2 pounds more pasta than allowed by NCAA regulations".
