I do not appreciate that post with the photo. It's insulting to me considering the fact that I'm disabled and also because I am a 9 time Special Olympic Medalist.

Remove this please!

Interesting. I removed it because I am a decent person. However, I have to say - you might want to get some thicker skin. The internet is full of "insulting" things. I myself am disabled and don't have a problem with photos or words. Doesn't bother me.

I think your a good guy and what your doing is cool - but I also think - it's getting a bit out of control.

I'm done here.

They wont remove it, and they are constantly posting these here, in this lovely forum.

Mind you, this forum is mostly early teens and pre-teens now.

Don't get upset (very easy to do) with this, as children of that age can't be expected to be empathic enough to exhibit better judgment.

After all, one thing is correct about these posts.

It's the Internet, and it's futile. Ironic no? :D

It was removed thank you. His quoting it is causing it to still be there. Go tell him to remove it since it's "insulting". :rolleyes:

I understand that its the internet, but that still doesn't mean you should start to do it as well.
 
Whats up, I say if it makes you happy than why care what people think?

If the dude wants to camp for a phone for a week let him have at it. Everyone gets joy from different things, and if that's what he chooses with his life have at it. Who's to say that going out to the bar and drinking every night isn't dorky? or nerdy? Who has the authority to constitute this. Its like calling someone normal...or weird.
 
@Justin - Keep at it! Like MANY have said before me, haters gonna hate. I really admire you for doing this. I just went camping at a state park this weekend and was miserable in the heat. At least you aren't dealing with the insane humidity we get in Ohio. :D Looking forward to more website updates!:apple:
 
Agreed. Has he murdered anyone? No. Has he stolen something? No. He isn't hurting anyone so why don't people step off*?

People say he is doing it for the attention. I don't recall the original story pointing Justin out that he was waving his arms wildly about yelling "Look at me!"


Actually he's repeatedly been quoted as telling people to go check him out on the news. While not waving his arms in your super-specific example, he is doing it for some attention.
 
Can we please get back on topic and discuss how this retarded individual is abusing his disability benefits and just being an inspiration for face palms everywhere?

Thankssssss

Seriously? Do you get off on being an ass to someone you don't even know? If you don't agree with this thread then hit the back button and go elsewhere.
 
If I had the chance, I'd totally do this. It's more than buying just a phone, it's an experience of being the first person to have the very best, new, hot gadget. I'd LOVE to do that. :D

There is a difference between doing something for attention, and enjoying the attention that you are getting.

When I was a kid, it was cool to be the new kid with the new electronic toy. But now, what's with these ADULTS wanting to do this. Spending all night out on the street so you can be the first person to have a phone for, what, 30 seconds before hundreds, thousands of people get their own? Look at me I got something at 6AM that everyone else who got a good night's sleep got delivered to their doorstep a few hours later... I don't get it....
 
Justin -

You should JB your 3GS now that the new OS is out and use iPhone Modem 3 to set up wifi so you can post after hours on your laptop.

What do you plan on doing with your 3GS when you get your iPhone 4 on Thursday?

Lastly - If you haven't already done so, check out Bone Daddy's sometime for tasty BBQ and good looking ladies! (One in Plano and one in Grapevine)

I've lived on the East Coast and here in Lubbock for many years now, Shipley's hasn't made it this far yet.. but I try to get one every time I make it out to Dallas or down to Houston.. best chocolate filled donut out there.. the glazed are pretty awesome out of the oven too!!

Just posting this is making me salivate.. I'm on the verge of calling up some family in Houston and having them fedex a box....

DAMN THE DONUT
 
This has got to be one of the weirdest threads i've ever seen.

They hired a guard for one person? WTF?

I wonder if they consider him an undesirable liablity, or they welcome the publicity.

Certainly they are taking extraordinary measures, and at some cost.

Yummm when I went to college we would walk there for sausage rolls if we happend to still be up past 4AM :D:cool:
 
i wonder if homeless people will start sleeping next to apple stores just to get free donuts, food, and iTunes giftcards or their own reality TV show...lol
 
In this instance, it's both.

If Justin were given the following ultimatum by the Apple Store - which one would he take?

1) Remain in line (and continue to receive all the attention etc.) but be refused an iphone 4 on launch day.

2) Go home and stay quiet, but be first to receive an iphone 4 on launch day.
 
1980: The year I graduated high school. Quit putting down Meth until you tried it. You got on my case for putting down Justin without knowing him after all...

Thanks. I wasn't putting down meth just offering up a possibility for if you were born in 1980 and now look 48-ish (grad in 1980 would put you about 18 then + 30 years to today). :p

For the record I didn't get on your case about anything. :eek:

Anyone tried the hot and fresh cinnamon sugar donuts from a cider mill in Michigan? Bomb.

@Justin - how's the heat treating you? It's 101 degrees here in Phoenix today. Steering wheel in my car is hotter than a single soccer mom in a night club. Burn your hands on that ****.
