That involves beating somebody to a pulp and them asking them "Y'awnt some more?" It adds a nice pyschological element to what would otherwise be a generic beatin'.)Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392485598731995230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1154997157626400812006-08-07T20:32:00.000-04:002006-08-07T20:32:00.000-04:00The best part about this is that the ASA voted aga...The best part about this is that the ASA voted against Montreal before it voted for it.

I'm taking my phone adapter (weighs a few ounces is all) and a phone, plugging it into my free internet connection in the hotel then making (and receiving) calls just like I'm sitting here in good old Madison. I'll let ya know how it goes. If I had a laptop with a network card I'd spring for the teeny tiny phone adaptor and ipod style head set and make calls from the laptop.

Can't buy a break...<BR/><BR/>I swapped my phone (verizon) to a "North America" plan for a week -- that will give me an hour or so of Montreal-based connectivity per day, and I can swap back to my regular plan when I get home again.
