What Will Jimmy Say About the Lost Cell Phone?

[jimgrape]

If he holds true to form, Jimmy will be joking about the lost cell phone at the upcoming concerts. If he doesn't say anything about the lost cell phone in upcoming concerts, then he's lost his real sense of humor - remember the line "if you can't laught about it 4 hours later then your're in alot of trouble" (YHTBT '78). I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about this news story. Hell, it even made one of Keith Olberman's Top stories the other night.

A few observations about the lost cell phone:

1. How many of us have either had this happen to ourselves or had to help out our buddies by calling their lost cell phone the next morning due to alot of boogying on the dance floor, as JB was reportedly doing. You really want to kick somebody's ass when they do this. See, Jimmy is just like the rest of us.

2. How many of our wives would call that cell phone and threaten the person that stole it? Seems that Jane reportedly got into a heated discussion with the perpetraor. Sounds like Jimmy was either too partied out & Jane was p*** off so she took hold of matters. I can see it now, Jimmy comes home and Jane's calling his ass at 5 in the morning wondering where the hell he's been. Utley and Ralph Mc are carrying him to the door and Jane is standing there with her hands on her hips. "Oh I'm in trouble now".

3. Go back in time about 30 to 35 years ago. Specifically 1973 with the release of "White Sport Coat & a Pink Crustacean". Yeah, the early to mid 70s when Jimmy was really raising hell. Two songs come to mind: Great Filling Station holdup & Peanut Butter Conspiracy. Also, didn't Jimmy jump on Buford Pusser's car with golf shoes and get his ass kicked in Nashville when this album was being recorded?

Based on these songs, I wouldn't put Jimmy past doing what this kid did in the past. Crank calling Pres. Clinton would be pretty cool. Alot of different scenarios. Kind of Funny until the Secret Service man shows up on your doorstep. Jimmy, Get a real sense of humor and invite this kid on stage to sing "Peanut Butter Conspiracy" with you. Not that what the kid did was right.

4. What if the perpetrator had been a Coral Reefer/Fingers Taylor fan and had called Fingers and said in a raspy voice "Hey Fingers, don't mind my voice, I've got a bad summertime cold. Why don't you come on back on tour and join us on the next leg of the tour. I'll pay you what you want and you can party all you want. Sure you don't look as good as Amy Lee but we'll do two versions of Pirate Looks at 40. See you in Toronto."

5. The glaring reality to this whole episode is that to those of us who remember Marvin Gardens, Al VAcado, Kitty Litter, et al.. Now must realize that Jimmy is one of the more powerful folks in the US of A. A southern boy of modest upbringings, good parents and a strong work ethic who also likes to have a good time. Sure, we've seen him with Pres. Carter & Pres. Clinton. But to have Bill Gates phone #? "Never been broke and never went to rehab". Good motto for anybody.

Alot of rambling above, but I didn't think this story really got enough mention on this discussion board.

Not sure if you saw this jimgrape, but there was some discussion.

I Actually lost mine at GW a few years ago. i Happen to be at the Cape. Someone found it and scrolled down to the first number. It happen to be my sister. She called me at were i was staying. The mailed it back to me.

[Ragtop Dawg]

A couple years ago, I was at the Georgia/Alabama game and found a cell phone lying on the ground at the site where College Gameday was braodcasting from. At the time, I did not have free roaming/nationwide coverage. So I called every one I knew (who wasn't at the game) and told them hey.

As the Buds were going down, I decided to start calling the man's phonebook to tell them that I hated Alabama (at least for that day) and the Dawgs would steamroll them. I knew it belonged to a 'Bama fan because it had a Bama logo faceplate.

All-in-all, I don't really know what happened to that phone, I passed it off to another person at our tailgate and never saw it again. I just hope that guy had unlimited nights and weekends, because if not...what a bill he had waiting on him.

This is why I keep my phone in my pocket and not on the table during dinner.

[phinhead]

Yeah, He'll joke about it. He will probably ask if anyone has seen his cell phone lately, or ask if anyone has pranked called Bill Clinton. He seems to have a pretty good sense of humor about such things like this that become public. I would expect a couple of references to it. How could he not see the humor in it 4 hours after it happened.
Later,

So you're the one who took my phone! Man, I'm still paying that bill! Sheesh!
