you know that day that terrorists or rebels come to kill us all? Jack will only save me and Daryl. The rest of you are shit out of luck. - MLx via fftogo
My current favourite is Criminal Minds. Really gets into the psychology of criminals/victims/investigators. They did a 'ticking bomb scenario' once and got the info they needed by kindness, psychology, and trickery. It was brilliant. - Deborah Fitchett
Kristen I said that exact same thing about 3 years ago. Then I watched one episode. Then I bought the first 3 seasons off of eBay. Watch one and you're hooked. - Daryl aka Lil Trumpet Boy
It just isn't my genre of choice. Besides, the guy hasn't peed or slept in like 5 years. - ::Kristen::

i used twibble - Sunny via twhirl
I'm using it on the Pearl. Occasionally I have to cancel the upload and retry with pictures, but other than that it works fine. I'm liking it more than TinyTwitter. - matthew john ernisse
It's pretty good, i use it on my curve - Gordon Swaby
barebones -- it works. - "Oldengrey" Tannenbaum
usint it now with the Bold. It's good enough. With the Nokia I used the web-based but fully functional m.slandr.net - Andy Sternberg
I didn't like it (used Tinytwitter instead) until the latest version which allows customization of startup page. Now that I can make my Friend's update page the startup page, the app makes more sense. I now use TwitterBerry instead of TinyTwitter. - James Hoang
I've just started using it on the Storm, works pretty well, I couldn't get TinyTwitter to work on the 9530 so I can't compare. - Stephen B
Works fine for me, except for the "Send to Twitpic" feature, that doesn't work at all. - Jordi Soler

Reading stuff like this makes me feel so pessimistic about the future, makes you wanna roll over and die...is there no Hope? - Gordon Swaby
Gordon to that I say that yes, in the near term, it's going to be once-in-a-lifetime rocky. The sooner we face up to it and make the necessary life changes, the better. BUT, there are LOTS of reasons to be very optimistic in the longer term. - Anthony Citrano
Name some reasons Anthony, because the whole world seems to be going under with no hope at all... - Gordon Swaby
when I was in my 20's (20 yrs ago) I thought the world would collapse in some major way in my lifetime -- I thought then it would be war, not the global economy - William Harryman
@Gordon: I guess it depends on how you define "the whole world". The planet will continue to be populated with bright, creative, energetic humans who want to make the world a better place. That's what makes me optimistic. I'm optimistic about us and the world we will re-create from the pieces. But if you define "whole world" as an overleveraged global financial system built on sand, denominated in worthless IOUs from unstable governments, and lubricated by fossil fuels, then yes, you may be right. - Anthony Citrano
