We still have phone booths?

valar_morghulis: What is that phone-booth's number?

Dito, I want it too.

His life sounds a bit Forrest Gump-y. Good for him doing what he wants and experiencing lots of different things. He's a brave dude.

Now pity phone booths don't accept incoming calls...
Unless they do in FL.

And he wants you off it.

/Can't believe no one said it still

He actually sounds pretty cool for a crazy old man.

What is this phone booth you speak of. I think it would inflict pain to sit on it.

What a cool guy. How many of us, if we died today, could truly say, "I lived a full life"? And this fella is still going strong, at age 71, after a dozen heart attacks. He's even back in college, still learning new stuff. I'm inspired.

If we are going to have a "national tree", why make it a silver maple? It's a nice tree, but why not an oak or a sycamore or something like that with a longer lifespan?

This guy has either had a fantastic and wonderful life or is an incredible liar. Either way, farking awesome!

Mr. Titanium: If we are going to have a "national tree", why make it a silver maple?


Florida resident...so make the national tree a palm tree.

Palm trees are generally useless and produce no fruit or flowers or wood. The palm tree on the White House lawn would look spectacular for a summer before dying in the first frost.

And then another one can be planted the following year to replace the dead one.

/symbolic of government waste and corruption in an age of bailoutalism...plus materialism!

It would cost about $25,000 to put a palm tree in at the white house.

Well, saying that he's "learning new stuff" is probably a stretch.
His coursework includes sitting in a phone booth.

The best thing about visiting the President is the food! Now, since it was all free, and I wasn't hungry but thirsty, I must've drank me fifteen Dr. Peppers.

so he's gonna crap in that toilet too?

doh!

To be fair, although this is most likely just an attention whore event, why not plant a tree?

"Phfssshhh... amateur..."

Just throw a few seeds over the White House fence. Y'all will get that tree in a few years time.

America already has a National Tree, and it ain't the friggin' Silver Maple. (new window)

...along with a taserin' and a large bill for "decontamination costs".

The article's link took me to a fake anti-virus scan...which, if you're just joining us, means it's a real virus-laden site. Careful, y'all...

Thank you for the virus scan pop up that took over my computer.

Looks like the entirety of tampabay.com has been turned into virus land..

Since others are saying it, I guess it wasn't a virus on my computer that made it do that. Stay away from this one, people.

We still have phone -- oh, never mind.

Spotted in the neighbourhood

On April 1, Otok Ben-Hvar climbed inside a 1940s-era phone booth with wheels and walked half a mile to the outdoor patio of a produce market. Otok, white-haired and jovial, was equipped with everything he'd need to live inside the red, white and blue booth until his 72nd birthday on April 29.

Phone booth on wheels = fake phone booth. He's got a freaking air conditioner and computer inside it. Someone should cut his electricity.

The ad network they are using has probably been infected by some malware laden banner ads. I didn't see anything pop up when I opened the site in Chrome, however, so maybe they found the bad banner and yanked it.

/Another good reason to run Adblock if you are using FF.

There are no trees there to take away cover from the line of fire.

Your not getting it ever.
