The digital clock on the front perpetually says 3:38, even when it open it and it should say "Cingular." And the thing's not even on. The screen inside is blank.

Is there an outside chance you guys know how to fix this? Or should I just go to the store tommorrow?

Remove the battery and let any residual power totally drain out of it. Then replace the battery and see if you can power it off after that.

It may be locked up, just like a computer. I've seen it happen.

Hmm, thanks. I'll give it a shot.

We've been watching season 3 of SG-1, so I read this title and immediately thought of your cell phone in the hands of this guy. [Laugh]

ALL cellphones are possessed by the Great Satan. Yours is just being a little bit more obvious about it.

[Eek!] So, we've been giving the Goa'ould information about our personal lives every time we use a cell phone?

Oh, wait. We've probably either destroyed them with boredom and inanity or convinced them that we're insane and harmless by now.

Yes.

And yes.

Actually, it's much more subtle (subtler?) than that. The Great Satan in all cellphones sets up a field in which you cease to find anything wrong with endlessly rude, boorish behavior. [Big Grin]

NB: I am quite prejudiced.

Hmm. I'd recommend contacting a Catholic priest for an exorcism. Even though I'm not Catholic, I've seen the movie and I know that when you've got demon and Satan problems, you go to a Catholic Priest.

I don't know, though...we do have actual, ordained ministers here on the `Rack...but they aren't Catholic. Dagonee is Catholic. I'm not sure what TV would want me to recommend here! [Angst]

But he is a lawyer, right? Doesn't that give him some sort of power over evil spirits?

He's also of Irish descent, isn't he? The Irish lawyer outsmarted the devil, remember? Maybe he can do it.

Maybe ONE cellphone...but can he outsmart the devils in ALL the cellphones? That'd keep him awfully busy.

No, Megan, I mean THE devil, and he'd have to call off his minions.

Ah, ok, then. So, we're sending Dag into some sort of apocalyptic battle. Hmm. Maybe we should tell him.









nah. [Big Grin]

I used to think Satan was in my cell phone. Then I met Dick Cheney and realized he could never fit inside.

I thought that meant he is one step from being an evil spirit.

I think it means he can speak the demon's language, is all...

I think it's more like a colleague type of relationship. Like, I have power over my colleagues in that I have quite a bit in common with them.

One is so easily seduced to the Dark Side . . . especially when they speak the same language and become colleagues . . .
