The iPhone Boyfriend's Guest Post

* * *

It seems like it's been one thing after another around here lately, and I'm just not getting the attention that I once enjoyed. I've been sitting alone, feeling like I'm being taken for granted.




Today I thought, "Nobody's gonna put me in a corner."
I decided to do something about it.





I donned a clever disguise, slipped out of the house . . .





. . . and headed downtown to a cozy rooftop bar.





It wasn't long before I spotted this little hottie sitting alone.





Things were starting to look promising as we took in the view . . .





. . . so I bought her a drink.





The next thing I knew, her boyfriend showed up.
Three or more is a crowd. (I ought to know.)





I hung around the bar a while longer,
but I didn't meet anyone who was my type.





So, I went home, took a cold shower,
and thought, "Tomorrow is another day."





I wonder if there's a Match.com iPhone app
that I can download to myself.

When you were perched on the top of that building with Ms Blackberry did you not worry about falling off?

The Pepper Grinder said...

I KNEW IT! SHE SAID SHE HAD A MEETING TODAY, AND THEN SHE'S ALL UP ON SOME DAMN ROOFTOP BAR PICKING UP MAN SLUT iPHONES!

The Amazing Trips said...

Hilarious post!!!

And re: your posts below re: Adam. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?! How in the WORLD is it possible he didn't win?? Seriously - I feel like I'm caught in a bad dream....

Kris beat ADAM?! My prediction was that Kris would be booted off before DANNY. And then, Danny and Adam would be in the finals. My prediction was wrong?! Clearly there is an imbalance in the universe.

I was laughing so hard I blew coffee out my nose....

Beth said...

My cell phone has been exhibiting some rather strange behaviour lately – vibrating and emitting beeps at odd times. Perhaps we should set up a meeting of our cell phones – bypass Match.com iPhone!

(Great photos!)

Mary said...

I know a girl Iphone - she's Australian though.

Her name is Sheila.

g said...

Hilarious!! I love the disguise and glasses.

We flip-phones just sit in our booth at Denny's, grouse about the cold coffee, and remember what it was like in our day.....

Janet said...

I think you need to write a comic about iPhone...just sayin'!

Steph said...

My iPhone (who's a girl) says she's available. js.

Also? My condolences about Wednesday. I can understand why the iPhone had to run the blog while you grieved.

Flutterby said...

LMAO I WONDERED where my pink crackberry ran off to....

Seraphine said...

haha, very clever. but if you juiced up beforehead, maybe the pepper mill would have looked better...

MJ said...

Poor boyfriend. I can imagine that it is a common experience. Best of luck in finding a mate!

Miss M said...

I was told by a single friend that match.com is for hookups, and eharmony is for true love. Don't let iPhone BF be a one night stand! Go eharmony app!

phd in yogurtry said...

and you survived the shower? damn, must have worn your iCap.

She said...

My palm centro is looking for love too! Shall we meet?!

I was so bummed Adam didn't win even though I didn't watch the season, etc. I thought of you right away and those twin babies and how now you'll need my "twin" expertise even more, since you're grieving and all. I will support you 100% during this oh so difficult time!

San Diego Momma said...

If your iPhone can download to itself, does it really need a partner?

Magpie said...

Poor little guy.

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

It's good thing my enV made the trip alone earlier in the day. Inferiority complex who?

blognut said...

I'm laughing!

I was just thinking of doing a traveling post with my phone when we're in Mexico. Then I popped in over here and you'd already done it.

Damn it.

San Diego Hermit said...

that was great :)

kcinnova said...

I was already laughing, but phd in yogurtry really cracked me up!
Now I'm imagining that your iphone boyfriend's icap for the shower looks very much like a condom... which could come in useful with his downloading adventure...

Did the twins come out your nose? And what will you do now??
Inquiring minds want to know!

The Girl Next Door said...

OMFG I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

And have you seen my new Girlfriend Pinkberry? She seems to be missing.....

Threeundertwo said...

Didn't recognize it in the disguise.

smalltownmom said...

You are too funny. ;)

Jason, as himself said...

This just breaks my heart.

Too bad you're way out of my little enV's league--he's basic, gets the job done, but nothing too fancy.

Maybe you should reconsider the threesome thing.

stephanie (bad mom) said...

Uh oh, you don't want an iPhone feeling all neglected - who knows what kind of mayhem he'll get into just to draw your attention back?

Like auditioning for American Idol and wearing eyeliner...

CSquaredPlus3 said...

You're very funny and creative! I like your purse... XO

Seraphine said...

i heard about a not-so-new iphone app: hello kitty 'shoulder massage' vibrator. you could try that... maybe.

Michelle said...

Thanks! I needed this laugh today :)

Sarah J Clark said...

I love your random creativity. LOVE IT!

Marci said...

LOL!!!!

dkuroiwa said...

So...when I come to San Diego, I leave my hawt little gaudy pink number in the suitcase....thanks for the warning because...she does tend to be a bit slutty at times.
Whew! We dodged that bullet early.

It's official...I love you.

Minnesota Matron said...

This reminds me of my post on van sex, only better!

Attila The Mom said...

OMG---way too funny! Really brilliant!

Scout said...

This is hysterical! The poor thing sidling up to the pepper shaker is so sad.

Life with Kaishon said...

Now this is pretty creative...

Stu said...

I thought for sure there would be more threesome action after her boyfriend showed up...

CC said...

Awwww! Poor iPhone. He can come visit me. 'Kay?

Michael Barrow said...

That is too funny!!!...And reminds me how much I need a damn Iphone!!! =(
