If that stands for "Soccer Moms in SUVs," they certainly do. It's hard to find one not yakking on her cell.

Oh, and if chicka's resurfaced, that means I can rejoin the peanut gallery.

SMS stands for "Short Messaging Service". It's just little text messages that you can send between mobile phones. Am I right in thinking cellphones haven't taken off in the US in the way they have in Europe? Over here practically everyone has at least one.

No, they're quite (IMHO unnecessarily) prevalent here. I'm one of the remaining "luddites". So naturally, in regard to short messaging, I have no idea, although most likely, some do, some don't.

COuld somebody explain the concept of "Soccer Moms" to me? Is it just "moms" who give their kids lifts to "soccer" practise in a big urban assault vehicle type thing?

I wouldn't say that nearly everyone in the US has a cell phone, but the number of people who have one far surpasses the number of people who have a use for one. Ford Prefect was right.

Me, I don't even like getting phone calls when I'm at home, so I sure as crap don't want them when I'm at work, in my car, at the movies, undergoing surgery, etc. The best description of cell phones and pagers I've ever heard was when one of my college professors called them "electronic leashes."

If you haven't seen it yet, check out phonebashing.com.

Oh yes...

Ice cream: Scotch Vanilla

And can I go ahead and vote for DexX now? That's a fantastic comic.

Bullseye!

Mothers who spend most of their waking hours ferrying their many kids to and from dozens of extracurricular activities, and who need a vehicle the size of Liechtenstein to carry everyone and everything.

The term became popular here in the 90s, when they were cited as one of the unexpected voting blocs that swung one of Bill Clinton's presidential victories, due to their concerns regarding issues dealing with their everyday problems.

I have a prepay cell phone so I only buy the minutes I need. I don't have a contract and therefore can't use SMS.

I got a cell phone for a few reasons.

1. I'm used to living in a city that has 5 payphones to a block, at least 2 of which that are working. Calling in to work to warn that there was a subway problem or something was easy. Lincoln Nebraska has like 4 pay phones total. I have to make myself later to call in if I'll be late.

2. The car I ended up getting is a piece of crap. Every time I get something fixed, another part gets jealous and starts acting up. I'd like to be able to call for help if it conks out in the middle of nowhere.

3. Long distance is included. I can call Mommy and Sis and best friends in NY and Cleveland and it just counts as some of my minutes.

4. I hate wearing wristwatches. It's a portable clock.

I googled "soccer moms" and found this that might answer your questions and kramer's.

Later on, gun control/freedom became a hot-button polarizing issue with this set.

But the main problem here is that Lincoln's subway system is woefully deficient!

I'm fairly sure all the companies have a plan that includes long distance service, but they also offer plans that are cheaper, but do not include long distance charges.

No kidding! I went down a flight of stairs and waited FOUR HOURS for a train. I finally gave up. I think the problem had something to do with the lack of a third rail... or a first or second rail, for that matter.

I did that in Chicago. Then I remembered I was where the trains are ELivated.

(Okay, we have some subways too, but where's the humor in that.)

Oh my, little girl! What do you like to do for fun?
Mostly I like to tease old hag-men like you into a frenzy and then leave them flat.
Do tell!
I think I'll let you give me a barium enema and then drip it out onto your ice cream while I recite dialogue from every episode of Full House. You will recite it back as_you_eat_the_ice_cream.
REALLY?!?
Fuck no. Bye!

No, I wouldn't have succeeded in coming up with that set. But now I don't feel worthy to add my own.

Maybe.
