Wouldn't It Be Cool If?

You could subscribe to a special frequency of ECCIE that would work through Onstar, GPS, or Sirius Satelite Radio? Just punch a button, get access to reviews, make reservations and "Bam!" directions are downloaded to your rental car's computer which then engages the autopilot even as it makes you a nice cold Vodka Tonic with a Viagra chaser????



























Yeah. . .and if prostitution was legal and socially acceptable, pigs would fly just around the arena where the Stanley Cup is being played just on the other side of the Gates of Hell.

Sorry for the rant. . .feel free to post with your hopeless dream of the day!

I'm too much of a geek. I'd settle for speech recognition that works (that inspired by the thought, while reading your post, that a satellite radio frequency of this (or any other) board would have to be one that is converted from text to speech, or otherwise it'd be as (more?) dangerous as (than) texting while driving).

Though then we'd lose out on all those interesting and potentially humorous errors (e.g., "toys in barbecue sauce" when I recently tried to use my smartphone's voice driven search feature to search for hoisin barbecue sauce recipes...).

You worry about LE now? LE would be all over this system!!!

BTW, A1, if that really is you in the last picture (on the bottom of course), the ladies should be lining up to see you.

I'm betting the pic of A1 is the one right above the one you're mentioning.



Sorry Anon, couldn't resist.

Didn't you read the reality check below the pics?

As to what I look like, sure, that's me. Remember everything I post is fantasy.



BCG actually pretty much nailed it, accept you have to picture what that would look like deflated--all saggy and wrinkly.

Let's just say that Otto's manual inflation device is in his belt buckle, and when Julie Hagerty kneels besides Otto to start blowing him up...



Ok, back on topic...

Now there is a nifty hopeless dream. . .LE detector. . .attached to your computer that instantly determines if a poster is a cop and then switches there avatar to this:

No silly, the assumption was that Onstar offered it as an extra service--hence the comment about this hobby of ours not only being legal, but even socially acceptable.

Gee. . .speaking of wishful thinking, do you think the rates would drop if that ever became a reality?

Oh yeah. . .I forgot, we are only paying for time and companionship. LEO has no influence on price.
