Comic for May 14, 2007 - TomTom

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

So, SF traffic is like normal DC traffic?

I think it's more of a case of not having an escape route in SF. If you're stuck in traffic, tough noogies! There IS no alternate route!

I don't see what the big traffic complaint is. I was in SF on a Monday/Tuesday (depending on how technical you want to be) at about 3 AM, and the traffic was just fine.

I think Greg is just trying to get sympathy hugs...

I think what's funny here is I've actually heard their TomTom be that vulgar before.

Didn't we show you the Ozzie voice while you were in the car? "At the end of the road, take a fucking left".

Yes.. that is why I have heard it before. :happyroll:

We only had the pleasure of hearing "You have reached your f-f-f-fucking destination."

We may have to look into getting one of those in the near future.

Lizzegirle, rkitect, I just have one question. Are you two serious about that voice?

Same question, because if you are, I am getting a TomTom as quickly as humanly possible.

Also, that TomTom is 100% right about SF traffic, unless you're there in the middle of the day or the wee hours of the night. Morning commutes from Marin are like Omaha Beach, if the toll booth is the North Atlantic Wall. Ugh.
People are like slinkies. Ultimately useless, but you just can't help but laugh when you see one tumble down the stairs.

100% serious. I have an Ozzie Ozbourne voice for my TomTom. "A-a-at the end of the f-fucking road, turn left."

Oh I misread your post. I thought you said that you had never heard a Tomtom be that vulgar. :D

Nope, definitely heard it's obscenities.

Is the traffic thing a bluetooth connection and does it use much air time? These are things I can probably look up, but not only am I too lazy at the moment to do so but I'd like to hear first hand how well it works.

BTW, your kite goes out tomorrow.

Yes, I would have to say a cursing TomTom is just about one of the most hysterical things I've heard in a long time.

Really? Cause it's been sitting in the trunk of your car for three weeks and it still hasn't made it into the mail yet... :shifty:
