Hurricanes Lounge XXXIV: I've had it with these mother f***ing snakes...

[LostInaLostWorld]

Yeah that's just not gonna happen with Apple. They're absolutely rigid when it comes to that stuff. Back in the early days of iphones I forgot the password to my Apple ID and had to shut down the account and start over, because there was no amount of proving my identity that could replace that password.

Yeah. I believe he has to do video now to confirm identities.

 

[Socks]

whichever two of you are taking the faceoff, go ahead and roll initiative

Nat20 f*** yeah!

 

[tarheelhockey]

Come on, Paul Harvey! Where's... the rest of the story?

The rest of the story involves him picking up a broken phone, broken glasses, broken dignity, and perhaps a broken nose off the floor of the Apple Store. Then stumbling, possibly concussed, out of the actual door while about 85 people hold their breath in silence because they're too polite to burst out laughing at the real-life slapstick they just witnessed.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

And I thought @Boom Boom Apathy was the geezer on these boards...

If you get the reference, you're in geezer range your damned self

I hope he paid for all that other insurance too.

Do they sell dignity insurance?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I get the reference but is 36 in geezer range? I used to hear Mr Harvey everyday on 100.7 growing up.

It's early geezer.

It's early geezer.

We all knew that guy who could have passed for 45 when he was still in college.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I only get that reference because of the Simpson’s joke where he narrates “Mr. & Mrs. Erotic American” book on tape. I did not have any idea why that was funny at the time.

Hey now. I’m pretty sure Bub, Sheriff Bart, Lost in a Lost World, NotOpie and a few others have me beat. And based on prior discussions, you’re not too far off.

I may or may not resemble that statement.

 

[Lempo]

We had '74-'75, kids today have 34+35. Let's not in-fight.

 

[bleedgreen]

Is this where I can complain about the penalty called in the girls soccer game?

Holy f*** balls. I was at the gym kind of watching, I assumed it was a penalty on the Canadian girl.

Women, you dope!

I was gonna say chicks.....thanks man.

I’m home in CT, my mom keeps screaming “the girls are on!!”

In situations like this my wife likes to yell out "womp womp"

 

[Roboturner913]

One of the regular hurdles is the celebrities having their flunkies call but due to privacy issues he can only deal with the user. Much profanity ensues.

God, it just occurred to me there are people who don't have to deal with everyday bullshit like getting your phone fixed or getting your oil changed.

That must be wonderful.

I am NOT a geezer. In fact, I said that exact thing to President Taft once. Sheesh.

....quietly geezering beneath the radar....

Things geezers do:

- find a t-shirt they like, then buy 10 more just like it in different colors
- have an animated discussion with their neighbor over whether backyard mosquito foggers kill honeybees
- socks and crocs
- getting done with work early, then booking it across town for the early bird steak special because you know those assholes will try to make you wait until after 5 if you're not there by 4:30
- not giving a shit what beer it is they just grabbed out of the fridge
- actively avoiding any piece of technology that's been invented/developed since after they turned 35
- actively avoiding new music artists that came along since after they turned 35
- staring open-mouthed at shower heads in Menards for 45 minutes because you overdid your pain meds that morning
- contemplate building a backyard gazebo

 

[bleedgreen]

The t shirt thing really struck a chord. If I find anything that actually fits me well I automatically start looking at other colors.

Even shoes. I once bought a second pair knowing id eventually wear through the first pair....and god only knows what they’ll be selling by then.

Why look for different colors....I mean, aren't they supposed to all be white?

V neck or crew?

 

[Bub]

Socks and crocs is an abomination.
