If you could program phrases on your cell phone based on where you lived…
Thanks to Colin for this question… If you could program SMS short phrases for your mobile based on where you lived, what would they be?
I’ll start off for NYC
1) Running 10 min late - gunfire on A train, service halted
2) Stuck in Touron Pedestriot Traffic near Rock Cntr, there soon
3) Operation Atlas just hit at 59th and Lex. Can’t move
4) Running late - Stupid Runner got into the Bike Lane in the park, hit him
5) Running late - Stupid Biker got into the Runner’s lane in the park, ran me over
6) Street meat choices: Falafel, Gyro, or Hot Dog?
7) Mt me at the Sbucks next to the Chase across from the Duane Reed. No, the other one. No, not that one either.
Change: Meet on 52nd, not 50th. Law and Order is filming on 50th again.
9) Just a bus that went out of control and hit a building. Not terrorism. It’s fine.
10) I’m underground in the subway and stuck on a train, you won’t get this anyway because we don’t have cell service underground, so it doesn’t matter.
Any other cities want to chime in? I’ll throw in a Geek Factory backpack for the funniest two. Any city in the world is fair game.

Skytrain is delayed, having “technical difficulties”… again, damn jumpers.
For NJ:
1. Frustrated: NYCers unappreciative of spatial complexities of travel >1/4 mi
2. Enjoying nature, how’s gridlock?
Los Angeles:
Keep texting me. I’m only driving. I can multi-task.
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $1000 bills.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you
across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address!
In simple words …………
May 2007 be the best year of your life!!!
NYC
-Just saw another celebrity. Acted suitably unimpressed. Stuck behind idiot tourists who don’t know how to behave.
Tuscaloosa, Ala.
“Just spent $35 mil on head coach. Stuck in line at bank trying to confirm there’s that much money in the state.”
Chicago:
1) Running late: no parking. Anywhere.
2) Lunch: hot dogs, pizza, or pizza?
3) Canceling tonight: must teach 15yo simple addition.
4) Running late: overpass broke, fell on highway.
5) Can we move to the ‘burbs yet?
