Have Gun – Will Trample
First off, WHAT’S UP WITH BAUJAHR’S ARMS?!?!? Eeeee-ick!
Second… Way more years ago that I care to think about, I conceptualized something called the “follow-me phone.” And by conceptualized, I mean I spouted something stupid and promptly forgot about it (as I am wont to do). But a friend of mine, who tends to take my meanderings far too seriously for anyone’s good, was present, and later used it for a school project.
My thought, as I remember it, was that our house phone (one of the early wireless models), was never on its base. And it kinda’ defeated the purpose of having a phone, this whole wireless thing, because you never knew where it was when you needed it, and it always wound up having no charge by the time you found it, so you couldn’t use it, and then you (or I) went downstairs to use the one still cabled to the wall.
So, I thought, we needed a phone that followed you around (when not on it’s charger), and stayed within a certain proximity to you so you could find it when you needed it.
About a year later, a commercial came out (I don’t remember what for), where a little wireless house phone sprouted legs and started walking around, and my friend pointed at it and yelled “FOLLOW-ME PHONE!!” At which point I looked at him as if he was psychotic. What in the nine hecks was a follow-me phone?
Whatever it was meant to be, it looked entirely too close to Sielski-Bots for my liking. Which means, I’m dreading what Baujahr is gonna’ do to those cute little buggers…
