Were you wearing a GPS-type watch?

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 09:02:52 from 168.215.171.129

In fact I was.

From Tom K on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:18:02 from 174.58.4.250

That's how they track you, Bro.

From flatlander on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:24:21 from 198.207.244.102

Actually, I tracked him with my GPS watch. He was the 8:43 guy that I couldn't catch, so he was completely safe.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:49:46 from 168.215.171.129

No no no, I had my double-layered aluminum foil helmet on today. Everyone knows that encrypts the P(Y) code on the L2 band, rendering their passive detection systems useless.

From flatlander on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:58:52 from 198.207.244.102

So either that was "excess inventory" from your military days, or I was locked in on a UFO. Either way I think I should notify the Air Force.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 11:26:15 from 168.215.171.129

UFO...it was a weather phenomenon sir, nothing more.

From Tom K on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 11:45:56 from 174.58.4.250

No, the aluminum foil helmet wont work, kid! I have seen the Bourne Legacy at least twice, so I know what I'm talking about. You need to create a snare with a bent pine tree, catch yourself a wolf, then force feed your watch into the wolf, then run away before the wolf is destroyed with a Hellfire missile.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:29:40 from 168.215.171.129

Dang, I think you're right! I'm lucky to be alive right now...

From Tom K on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:33:44 from 174.58.4.250

The more I think about it, the more I think you might be in trouble, here. I can't get my kid to eat veggies. How are you gonna make a wolf eat a watch? Sorry, Joe.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:39:04 from 168.215.171.129

I'm about to get captured by terrorists (or probed by aliens, I forget) and all you can say is "Sorry Joe?!" Come pick me up in a stealth helicopter NOW.

From Tom K on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:46:17 from 174.58.4.250

1. You're asking a guy that flew to Iowa on southwest airlines, in coach, and fought his brother for peanuts mid-flight, for a stealth helicopter?

2. This is exactly why I don't have a GPS watch.

I thought I was reading a cartoon comic!

From Matt Schreiber on Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 16:59:51 from 66.17.102.175

I have nothing to contribute to this one but a good chuckle.
