To the plumbers among us

I seriously doubt that one who's imagination is limited to staring at a tiny plastic screen would get very far in the pursuit of an education.

 

You are such a tool. I done gots my edumacation. 2 hours a week ain't gonna help out none.

 

Really though, how advanced could it be if it's a degree in Kindle Expertise. He'd be the only male in the class. And that's not his master plan as he's already told us he has tired of talking to the women in the dance class. Maybe you could go on that site Chamblizi frequents, maybe talk to some males? There's probably a Kindle app for that.

 

I know you're preoccupied with the pending departure, but we are talking about Sean here.

 

Coming from a guy who drives, and loves, an SUV designed specifically for women . You ever notice how easy it is to get in and out of that thing; it's because they made it that way, for a woman. Of course, maybe that's why you love those things so much. Chrysler built the Grand Cherokee (same platform as Durango) for the men.

 

So you have conceded that there is no argument for the manliness of a kindle and change the subject.
Just please, spare us the details on the accessories you get.
A kindle forum would be more appropriate.
Who knows? Maybe a kindle forum will share your outrage over a woman waving a toy around.

 

Ya'll give Sean a break. I got my wife a Kindle for her birthday last year and she loves it too. However, her's is just a plain Kindle - not the Kindle Fire, which sounds a lot more manly.

 

No, it's Fire, as in a cozy warm fireplace, snuggling in cardigan sweaters and drinking unleaded hot cocoa, watching Designing Women reruns. Sean's man card is in serious jeopardy of being revoked, again.

 

Well, when I start caring what you guys think, I'll let you know. And, for the record, I don't have a man card; all that info is tatoo'd on my schlong. To read all 4 pages of it, you need to be a woman, if you catch my drift.

Again, out of curiosity, who gives a crap what OS a tablet is running? I'm not planning to write code for a new Halo game on there; I'm going to surf the tubes, read some book, maybe watch a movie, etc.

 

Well, he did get it as a Christmas gift. I'm sure he's advertizing it on one of those Facebook trading pages right now, probably trying to swap it for an assault rifle or a set of wine glasses.

 

I've seen those tiny books you need a magnifying glass to read, so I guess we get your drift. It's really OK; you don't need to defend your she-traits to anyone at all. Poof.

He ain't ditchin' it; you see how fiercely he is defending it.

 

Well he does need something portable to surf with. The I-phone is pretty much worthless for that and a notebook is soooo out-of-date.

I always laugh (although I don't LOL) when I see an ad for those keyboards that you can add on to an Ipad. IDIOTS! Next thing you know, they'll be re-attaching them to the screen, just like the notebook or laptop computer that they dumped because it didn't look cool anymore.

 

You send me a tablet that you consider manly, free of charge, and I'll crush this kindle and send you the debris. I wonder why you are so against it?

 

Check out the Microsoft Surface, complete with detachable keyboard. I think they call it a touch cover. Talk about a chick tablet!

I like it, I'm not against it. All I ever said was it's a chick tablet and you went all gaga. I never was worried about my manliness.

 

With the cute little "kickstand", that thing looks like one of those digital picture frames that most grandmothers have. Now I wish I hadn't given my netbook to my oldest grand daughter. It would have been on the cutting edge of technology again in a year or two.

 

Oh how I love this site, a topic all about plumbing diversifies into a debate about how macho a Kindle fire is..................
You really couldn't make this stuff up, honest !
For the record I bought my beloved a Kobo, complete with spare purple padded cover for Christmas. Totally and utterly girlie, not manly in any shape or form.
