You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

So, Google Voice has some 202 numbers available. Why are they giving me a choice?!?!? I am paralyzed with indecision.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am paralyzed with indecision.

I looked up numbers in my town, and then picked the first one that sounded good when I said it out loud. It's important.

All is well that ends in pizza.

How tied up in the Apple infrastructure are you? Apple will have free email later this fall.

I used to *have* free email from Apple.

I haven't picked one yet. PARALYZED with indecision. I'm thinking about 0776 as the suffix. They all have zeros, so no spelling cool words. I wanted maybe 8789 (VRTX) or 7956 (SWLO), but for naught.

Our wings are not tired.

I picked my number based on baseball. This should surprise no one. My home number ends with "Juan Marichal Jackie Robinson."

I also wanted 6739 (NSFW).

But, all of the available numbers have a zero in them, and I can't think of any cool three letter words.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I picked my cellphone number from the five I was offered because it had the most distinct shape on the dialpad. Middle to bottom, left-middle to top-left, right-middle to top-right.

Eh, it works for me.

Hmm, under that theory, I should maybe pick 0788
