    Somebody needs to start a blog that's nothing but overheard cell phone conversations. (They need to actually be real, though, and include details and hopefully photos.) I guarantee two things:


    a) it will be hugely popular if done right


    b) it will finally get a lot of people to shut their damn traps.


    Even indirectly, because people will be fired over what shows up there.

    This is why I look back and forth furtively at all times while I'm on my cell phone to see if anyone is listening, like a spy!


    But I still say the secret stuff really loudly, significantly less like a spy.

    As a comic-book-consuming child I wanted to fly, stop time, control fire. Now I want the psychic power to make people's cell phones explode at a distance.

    If you're a senior associate at a white shoe firm with low billable hours, this should come as no surprise.

    He should have Tumblered it, instead.

    And in bathrooms. I was taking a leak and got to talking with a co-worker. Turns into a five minute conversation. Next thing you know, out of the stall pops Larry Craig. Lesson learned, I'll tell you that.

    -- If you're a college co-ed who wants to talk on the phone with your friend about last night's bi-sexual hook-up... please do go ahead. BMC FC and every other married schlub needs this.

    I'm sure the CLE seminars are already being planned: "Just Shut Your Fucking Mouth Already: Discretion and Liability in the Electronic Era."

    Brilliant! How are there still so many peeps out there who haven't gotten the memo about using their quite voice on the cell, esp. when on the train. Drives me crazy. Sometimes I just repeat everything they say at the same volume they are speaking, pretending to talk on my cell. They get the message fast, and folk in earshot find it very amusing.
