Techies Are Sexy Mofos
Hi, I’m the Funky Brown Chick and mmm, mmm, mmm I love men. So, welcome to Manly Monday! Today we’re talking about so-called “tech geeks”, techies. So grab a seat & whip out your pocket protectors because I wanna tell you about this amazing party that I attended a bit ago. Okay, so, I’ll start by saying that I absolutely love it when people invite me to private parties!! Happy hours. Bar mitzvahs. Weddings. Funerals. You name it. If I’m invited and I’m available, I generally tend to show up — for a few minutes, at least. Such was the case with the s60 party at the Nokia flagship store. Man, the other week, it was all about Finland baby! Rewind. (I would have told you guys about this early but, you know, I didn’t have an internet connection.) Okay, so, Phil and two other guys host a private party celebrating the upcoming launch of the s60 … or was it the N95? At any rate, I’d never been to the Nokia flagship store, I don’t completely know what an s60 or an N95 is, and I think I was added to the guest list as an afterthought. But, still, I agree to go to the party for two reasons:
1. Free. Booze.
2. Phil. (I read his blog, and I’m always down for meeting fellow bloggers in person — especially those who listen to Dating Roadkill. Phil does.)
“I didn’t think you’d come,” Phil says when he first meets me. I’m surprised. Clearly this man doesn’t know how much I love parties. “Why didn’t you think I’d come?” I ask. “Well, you know,” he’s fidgeting, “… I read your blog and I listen to the podcasts of your show …” I finish it for him: ” … and, so, you thought that I was a shallow person who would flake??” Phil scratches his head. “Um …”
Three hours, four glasses of wine, an s60 presentation and eight trays of passed hors d’oevres later, I’m still partying it up with the techies. I have a private showing of a diamond-studded Vertu phone that costs $44,000. (Don’t click that link. The sexy will burn a hole in your eyeballs. Really, dammit, I mean it!! Don’t click any of these links!!!!!!) Wait. Where was I? Oh, yeah, I’m stupefied by the $44,000 phone, I play with gadgets ( … ahem, apparently among those in the know, “gadgets” are called “devices” … ) that cost more than my monthly rent. And, perhaps most importantly, I spend the night successfully dodging a drunken man whose vision is so blurred that he tells me: “You have the most beautiful blue eyes that I’ve ever seen!”
Um, yeah.
At any rate, one of the highlights of the evening has to be the few seconds that I listen to the “darlagasm” [NSFW] moaning away in my left ear. One might ask, “Why would one ever use the darlagasm as one’s cell phone ringtone?” To this, I would answer: “Clearly you’ve never heard the sound of a darlagasm.” [NSFW] Man, who knew tech stuff could be so, um, “fun”??? Hmmm … Techies. Are they sexy because they’re successful or are they successful because they found a way to make “tech stuff” sexy? Dunno. In any case, I *THOROUGHLY* enjoyed myself at the party with the group of intelligent, witty, interesting and fun tech folks. Great big hat tip to the three sexy mofos who put the event together!!! (You know who you are.)

Quite off-topic (and then again perhaps not so much)
I’m *quite* surprised you’re into diamonds… wonderful scam that they are… (’hurting’ in the US may be limited wallets of people in the entertainment industry & grooms-to-be, but others in Africa are not so lucky).

They are successful because they found a way to make “tech stuff” sexy. The whole intelligence thing is sexy when dealing with such sleek advices.

I generally think really smart people are sexy, so maybe you do, too? Glad you had a great weekend and got to touch some really expensive toys (wink, wink)!

Papigiulio: You know me, I’m loyal to my readers. Just for you, babycakes, tomorrow’s post will be on a completely **womanly** topic. Wet & drippy kisses from my tongue to yours. ;-)
ErrorBoy: Heeeey, you clicked the links!!! Bad boy! I told you not to. ;) At any rate, about the Vertu phones, some have diamonds & some don’t. About diamonds … Never had anyone buy any for me. Never bought any myself. And, I’ve also never judged anyone poorly for choosing to buy them. I must admit that I don’t know as much about blood / conflict diamonds as I could. So, thanks for the links! I have a couple more thoughts about this stuff, but I just sent them to you via email so that I would get carried away and go off on a long tangent here.
ChiGirl: Intelligence *is* sexy!!!
AmyD: Yeah, even though I couldn’t afford any of the toys that I fondled, it was still fun to look at some of them. You wouldn’t believe the number of features that are available on gadgets / devices these days.
tonito bandito: They’re sexy!!!
HippieChyck: It was quite a sight to see. Folks that live in New York or Chicago should visit the Nokia Flagship stores. It’s honestly like getting a tiny peek into the future. And, yeah, the darlagasm is hot isn’t it!! :)
