    This might be a stupid question but how does it slide up and show a numerical pad and slide sideways and show a whole keyboard?

    @Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake! ohhhhhhhh it's snake!:

    It has three layers. On the original, the bottom layer was a keyboard (bread), middle layer was number keys (PB&J), and top layer was the phone buttons (bread). Does that explain it?

    the only thing I really liked about my original ocean was the click clack of the sliding motion. At least they kept that part. aside from that, it looks like I haven't missed much since ditching it.

    i'm an so-so fan of her music, but what's up with that picture, her neck looks a little too strained out in that position, rather unattractive.


    but who am I to complain? I only stalk her.

    @Starscream_GitEmSteveDave: and @Jrsy Devil's Advocate: I had recently begun to worry about Zombie attacks (thanks to Giz and the Austin City Streets Department), but I see now the ultimate way to stop the hoardes of undead, and it is to show them these videos.
    I wasnt going to bring it up, but, since cred on this thread is shot to hell now anyway, so here goes: WTF is that in the leotard on that guy in Steves video? Oddly shaped and suspicously low fat roll? Towel? A small dog?

    @Curves: I was wondering that same thing myself. In fact my curiosity got the better of me to the point that I watched it twice (sigh..damn you SteveDave). I'm guessing it was one of the following:


    A tumor (or as Ahnold would say, a TOOMA!)


    The head and shoulders of the child he was giving birth to (the music and gyrations obviously assisting the delivery process)


    His intestinal fortitude as a result of a severely ruptured hernia.


    Some weird object stuffed down his unitard, ala Chen-style.


    Elephantiasis of the genitals.


    Ok, I think I'm done know. I pray we never see that video ever again...

    @Starscream_GitEmSteveDave: It's kinda sad too because as it is people who are overweight get enough ridicule as it is. This guy's antics don't help either. On top of that I actually felt embarrassed for him. I mean what if he never intended this video to get posted on-line? That would really suck. It's like when the Star Wars Kid found out he was on the tubes..


    Of course if he did post it to YT on purpose then he has no one to blame but himself.
