So...whadda thinks of people who walk around with these on? Is it just me or do people look RIDICULOUS. Maybe I'm just stone ages because I don't use one, but to me it looks like some weird spawn of a y2k meets terminator 2 movie where people have gone cyborg and have embraced their new way

    I don't have a problem with it but wonder how some people can be so popular that they need their Bluetooth on all day.

    hey, if Raj wears one, it can't be THAT bad.

    I agree. Something about the wanting to shout to the world, "I am expecting a call ANY MOMENT, and when they do I'LL BE READY" makes it seem to me the person is supremely desperate to be cool.

    I'm not so familiar with how they work, but why not just carry it on your person until you need it and then stick it in your ear?

    ugh. I hate these.

    One of my classmates wears his everyday- like wtf. All of our cellphones are off, we're in class, take that shit off! Well, he also wears a dick pack and sunglasses holder around his neck so go figure, I guess it goes with the ensemble.

    Now cipher. The true and living mathematics is:

    Bluetooth earpiece = serious NAGL.

    Bluetooth earpiece + sunglasses indoors and/or after dark = ultimate NAGL.

    Knowledge god.

    My head hurts whenever one of these earpiece is activated. I can understand it's handy when you need to answer calls while driving, but walking around with these earpieces...they can't walk and hold the phone at the same time?

    That said, I like using Bluetooth to transfer breaks onto my phone as ringtones.

    Lobot is a good one... We also used to call some bloke here "LaForge (AKA Star Trek dude with perma-visor) for never taking his off. The flashing ones are the worst. At least Lobot said f*ck-all...

    Re: use of breaks as ring tones. I am always staggered by how unsuitable the best stuff is for audibility outside. I used to have "Teen Town" (Weather Report tune with Jaco's killer bass) but it just doesn't cut it when walking down a crowded street. I also used to have Bruce Lee "You have offended me... and you have offended the Shaolin Temple [cue sound of flinging fists]".

    F*cking useless for a ringtone.

    Currently rocking Soil & Pimp Sessions "Summer Goddess". Nice piercing horns from the first second.

    I rock the bluetooth headset...better than getting a ticket for driving with your cel on. I'm on the road quite a bit, this IS LA.

    plus I got a demanding boss who calls a lot and lots of fools that call me so it just makes my life easier. I dig em.

    use of breaks as ring tones.

    I just joined the 21st century and upgraded to a phone that can actually download custom ringtones. Anyplace to find these for free, or am I going to have to pay for that ish?

    Maybe this question makes me a NAGL, but what exactly is a NAGL?

    not a good look. it saves us from looking at that common graemlin...not as common as a RHKTD, but certainly not

    anyways, i think this technology should be transfered to headphones. a nice cheap wireless headphone would be a GL IMO

    maaaaaaan...what about people who rock Blue Tooth as a fashion statement "in the club"; like i'm on some "HEY IM MAKIN' MOVES EVEN WHILE IM STRIKING OUT AT THE CLUB AND HOLDING UP THE WALL!"

    Yes this is probably the essence of Not A Good Look. It says a lot about someone's personality if they go out like this.

    But what if you up in the club not talking to ANYONE, stunting with a Bluetooth??
  • drewnicedrewnice 5,465 Posts
    Yeah...OK, no sympathy for that kind of jack move.

    DILLA CAN DO NO WRONG b/w DUDE WAS ( ) ACTUALLY MAKING MOVES w/ BONUS BEAT: HE WAS PROVIDING THE SOUNDTRACK FOR NAGL-ERS TO HOLD UP THE WALL AND STRIKE OUT

    but yo..


    what about people who rock IPODS in the club? I've seen this twice. It's really on some "I don't like your music so I brought my own..."

    No way. So now people are just asking to have their face smashed by the DJ?

    now that's some shit that really doesn't make sense, but then again i have a friend who goes out to clubs and brings his laptop with him to "do work". it's one thing to do it in a coffee shop, another to go out to a club to do it! i also think it's funny that there are clubs like the dna lounge in sf where there you can check your email or myspace in front of EVERYONE which is also venturing on the NAGL zone.

    yeah, dilla is allowed to wear one, he was rolling a spliff in this picture (at least he pulled out some green out of a bag, they edited it out), but I would say the use of these things helps to establish more tolerance for bigger hearing aid devices
