why I won't buy a k3 (Warning: Satire Thread)

**savoche** · 02-12-2014, 12:05 PM

Interesting... It seems posts to this thread do count in the ~~spam~~ posting contest, but posts in the Welcomes and Introductions section don't.

Which means I can't buy a K-3!

That's not a wall! That's just darkness.

The most interesting plot line in the series, and it's totally dumped in the movie! Go figure! Still fun to watch though!

The OP has it all wrong. The biggest reason to not buy a K-3 is because it can't match the non-camera features on my smart phone.

For my purposes the phone camera is probably as good as a K-3. The rest of the phone will do cool stuff like wi-fi and local ad hoc private wireless network and Bluetooth and GPS and automatic upload to Facebook and/or Flickr. It even allows me to make voice/video calls to my friends, should I ever make any.

I might buy a K-3 when it can do all of those things and do them without a FLU Card, but not before.

As you get older the 5 year interval shrinks, and is not just confined to Serenity DVDs.
I'm in my mid-60s, and as I watch reruns from not too long ago, I recognise that I have see the TV series episode but often I couldn't tell you who 'did it' until well into the episode.

There are rules on this thread?
Have they been published? Where?

Talked with my folks tonight, they said it looked like a blizzard. But we are also talking about people who have never seen a real blizzard.

I made some edits to my picture of KIT, but I have to wait for my interminably slow Internet. Which is presently uploading the contents of the day's pictures from Wizard World.

At first I wasn't sure if that was really Kit. The reflections looked like they were painted on.
