Was it Ray Brower?

The train knocked him out of his keds just like it knocked the life out of his body.

Does anything after 2009 run on a Blackberry?

You mean besides the U.S. State Department secure email server system?

Not without the Whitewater-and-vinegar patch installed, anyway.

I just saw something on the news about how criminals have used it to lure victims into remote areas. Just used Google to pull up the following, but it would figure there would have to be losers out there to ruin it for people.

Unfortunately there are always people out there to take advantage of what could be a promising situation. Hopefully the developers can put some kind of logic in to try to weed out the users like that, perhaps 50 "quality" pokemon.

So I assume magikarp don't count?

Guessing they use the built-in "Lure Module" item, which makes a small area a "hot spot" for spawning Pokemon for 30 minutes. So I can see how that would draw people in. The Abuelo's on West 86th is "lured" all during lunchtime, I'm guessing by employees that work there. I see people pull into that parking lot (.... as do I....) for a few minutes and leave for the past couple days.

Not sure what they can do to change that. It's mostly about not being stupid. Don't go to a secluded area just because the little things in your game are more abundant there.

While this isn't a bad idea... a criminal will probably suffer through the 24 hours or so it takes to catch 40-50. Even putting lures behind a paywall wouldn't hurt much... You can get free money with the Google Survey app, and the lures are really cheap.

So, I started playing it today, then went out with my wife and her youngest for about 1.5 hours tonight, going all over Speedway. We had an absolute ball and it was fun seeing so many other people out doing the same thing. Made it to level 5!

That's awesome, I can't always count on my wife to go with me, but at least one of the dogs is usually up for it.

I started playing it. It has added new responsibilities to my fiancée's co pilot job. Last night there was couple kids wandering through my front yard playing.

I'm still of the theory that Pokemon is derived from some kind of Jamaican pornography...

Well, the name is actually an abbreviated pronunciation of the phrase "Pocket Monsters," so you're definitely onto something there.

Ditto.

Maybe we can give Hillary an augmented realty White House and let her have her fun that way? Then again, the app doesn't run on a Blackberry, does it?

No worries, she had three other devices.

I'm going to start a Pokemon go security company that will protect you while you are wandering around the city.

Oooo I haven't caught that one yet.
