A phrase I use too much, because I live in Idaho: Fuckin' Mormons, man.

just the idaho ones?  or all of them?  because i live in PA....

...think about upgrading my iPod. The new Nano has video now, which sounds useless, but I had been thinking about getting on of those flip cameras to mount on my bike helmet. The nano would be much less dorky, and I wouldn't even notice the weight.

They also have radio. Wombat, weren't you always wanting to listen to All Things Considered on the go? You can even pause the radio (but not record it). This is a feature I've wanted to have in my car for years.

Radio! Yes! I keep buying these other stupid brands of mp3 players because Apples never had radio. And, now that I have a DVR and am used to being able to pause the tv, it drives me CRAZY not to be able to pause the radio.

But damn, I have an new mp3 player I bought just a few months ago and another old one that has nothing wrong with it that I use at the gym. One of them may have to meet with an unfortunate accident.

My 3G iPod is getting on in years. I keep hoping they'll come out with a 32-64GB Nano before it totally craps out on me but that doesn't seem likely.

I know the iTouch is up to 64GB but it costs $400 and the only relevant feature it has that the Nano doesn't is the ability to act as an iTunes remote.

buy a $5k watch. Its nice to have a job and know that all that work is worth something. Still no one to hug at night.

[Mr Trout]

What did you get? I went to a few really nice watch shops in NYC recently (Cellini and Wempe) and really fell in love with the Jaegers, especially the Reserve De Marche and the Master Perpetual (though that is way out of my price range).

[Arachno-capitalist]

Breitling, its great. Got it at Ross & Simons at the mall at short hills (NJ).

I read this page and thought you guys were talking about beer. Then I read the previous page and found that you were actually talking about watches. This proves that I know nothing about beer or watches.

[Mr Trout]

There's some vintage Breitling I love, but my wrists are just too small to pull off pilot watches. I tend to stick to the classically styled brands. I do love the look of the Breitling Montbrillant series though. I've been looking for this vintage Omega for what seems like forever: http://www.christies.com/lotfinderimages/d49827/d4982735x.jpg but apparently it is really hard to find. Oh well, gives me more time to save for when I eventually stumble upon it. It has an image of St. Christopher on it, who is considered the patron saint of travel. I like that association; even if I don't travel all that much I still bike a whole lot and I need all the good luck charms I can get to fend off aggressive drivers.

Sadface.

What is the point of wearing a wrist watch?

[Mr Trout]

It's more jewelry rather than something I wear because I need to know the time.

duder... thanks for rubbing my small-times-ness in my face.  i thought it was a big deal when i bought a $60 fossil watch a few months ago.

If I didn't have that stupid metal allergy, I would love to wear a wristwatch. They are handy. I used to have one on a velcro band so the metal didn't touch my skin, but it looked dorkrageous.

Right there with you.   There are a couple six ghost bikes stashed around Portland.  They give me the creeps.   Makes me feel like there's a right-hook out there somewhere with my name on it.
