What say you? How many times have you had a phone conversation with the almighty Ben [who's probably wearing "Polk"-a-dotted Pac-Man underwear] and the damn phone cuts off?

If the members that chat with him actually donate 2 bucks a pop, we might actually be able to buy him a new damn phone and talk to him. :eek:

I'll be willing to start a collection fund for our member here to get him a new phone. Talk to me. What do we need to do?

    Ben has his own website and sells cables, and constructed a monster pair of speakers. I'm sure he candle up on taking care of a phone himself, no?
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    My phone sucks, and after this move I am dead freaken broke! The phone has its pluses, and minuses though. It keeps me from having long meaningless conversations with the X ;)

    Edit: The leaves will fall off the trees soon enough, and the phone will be decent again:)
