Maybe Epstein's mother, but only if she has one hand on the Bible. :D

Guys, keep it light, I'm just trying to add some 'counterpoints' to the 1,000s of rumors that just never pan out. I want it as much as anyone, but I'm not setting myself up time after time for disappointment.

I don't necessarily believe that these past things didn't pan out. I think there have been legitimate rumors and dates but Verizon is the one who made them not pan out by delaying the release. If I told you I was going to Walmart tonight at 7 and you told my wife to meet me there at 7 because I said I would be there and then I changed my mind and didn't go, does my wife have any reason to be mad at you for giving her bad information? Of course not. MY point is made.

Nice 105, correct?

[Hide]001 actually. Same dial I think, but with a closed case back. I also have a 113 and a 196 as well as some copy that a guy built and sold on eBay that has no Panerai markings at all. Also an absurd number of straps to go with them. [/spoiler]

But we've seen other leaks regarding the GNex, so clearly the pre-launch secrecy strategy is different for the GNex than the iPhone 4S.

The question was why we haven't seen any leaked photos, screen shots or information from sources as proof that the Nexus exists in storage currently in the US.

My point is....Verizon has a handle on their warehouse stock, I refer back to the iPhone release, heck for that matter have we ever seen a photo of the inside of a Verizon warehouse filled with stock?

I'm not surprised, their security and surveillance system is not like your average warehouse I can assure you that.

So that's what Steven looks like. Lol. Not too far off from what I had imagined, at least the beard isn't.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Steven is cuter than you imagined him?

I LOVED IT!

I'll catch up on the more than 400 posts since I last checked but truly enjoyed it.

And how was the date?

I went with the black.
Good luck at payless

REALLY? What that tells me is that you did not want this to be perceived as a date. The leopard screamed "I want this to be a date date."

Off topic (Dexter):

Showtime president Andrew Nevis was interviewed about Dexter, and he says that the current plan was to have the show end after the 8th season (we are finishing the 6th season now). He says:

I think Deb is going to find out before this season is over!!

I dunno...I think they're going to leave us hanging not knowing whether she knows or not, then she'll find out at the beginning of next season.

HanSolo said:
We can't believe it either, that she's gotten snubbed for an Emmy nod so far. It's ridiculous. I really hope she gets some recognition this year, or at the very least before the series wraps up.

Watch, Edward James Olmos is going to get a nomination for his role as Gellar. Not that he was particularly impressive (I don't think it was one of his better performances; it was kind of one-note for me), but he'll get nominated just for being Edward James Olmos.

Did John Lithgow win anything for his Trinity Killer? I don't pay attention to awards shows, but if anyone ever deserved one, he did.

lets be honest. your wife is going to be pissed. Maybe not at Ken7. but still, walmart is a zoo, its raining out and she forgot her umbrella. she went all the way out of her way to meet up at you, had to skip lunch and she is starving and now she is standing there wet and hungry at the front of the walmart, wondering where you are.
Does she have a right to be mad? absolutely.
Is she going to trust you 100% the next time you relay a message via Ken7 to meet her somewhere? Probably Not.

it was really good. I wore the black because it was a non-date. Lol. But it went so well we are gonna watch Episode 5 as well.
 
I just figured this out. We have all been 'naughty' this year and our only way of helping satisfy our desire for this phone and being able to get it as soon as it comes out is to frequent this forum.

Let this be a lesson to us all that we should always be 'nice' and we won't have to question on whether Santa would bring this to us on Christmas....hang on wife is saying something.


WTH, when did Santa die and parents take over shopping for him? Forget this phone this Santa thing needs to be delved into. Oh God this is unbelievable!
 
Hey everyone, first time posting here. Honestly, ive been following this thread since its beginning and i've seen all the ups and downs and i honestly have to say, you guys and gals are a great community.

Ive been posting on some other forums lately and everyones at eachothers throats over this release. While ive seen a few negative nancy's here, above all this is a very warm forum full of good people.

Im very hopeful we will have this device in our hands by this time next week, but this forum has helped me keep my sanity and given me a few laughs and good vibes while anticipating the Nexus. Thanks everyone :)

That's exactly my point. IF my wife is going to be mad at anyone, she should be mad at ME, not him. My point is, don't not trust sources because of a change that Verizon made. EVERYTHING can change. It just so happens that in the case of the Galaxy Nexus there were more things that changed and shifted around than usual.

If anyone wants to act like a child and be mad, then be mad at Verizon. Not sources. And being upset with Verizon is ridiculous too in this case. Because I believe that Verizon delayed the release because of bugs with the device. They don't want us to have problems with this phone anymore than we do. It is in our best interest to be patient and wait, as we can see from the updates made to the phone and ICS

Here is why you are getting some push back on your many many "counterpoint" posts recently, you seem convinced that all rumors are false and all sources are fake and IF that is your opinion and you choose not to allow YOURSELF to be disappointed then we support your opinion and position.

But the fact is your "counterpoint" posts are attempting to sway others to join in on your opinion or position, why do you care if others believe all of the rumored release or pre-release dates, why would you care if we believe a source or two based on past creditable information?

Maybe you should take a step back and allow those members their opinion even if they differ from your own. :D

No, i have no problem with others feeling differently, that's their right. I was simply presenting the other side for those that had not considered the overall picture of what's actually happened to this point. It's easy to get swept away in optimism and then come crashing down in disappointment.

But if that's the approach that most here prefer to follow, all the more power to them.

Technically she does though. She would think you had good information and how does she know when you aren't there that you were not just messing with her? See the point there? You could be mad at both in this case.

As AF Turns, another week in the saga of this thread. If by chance it doesn't show this week we will all wish we were more like Ken and if it does we will all be saying 'Take that Ken, no you can't touch it'.

But you'll let me look at it, right? ;)
