Remember segueing me into traffic while three of you took up the sidewalk? Call me a Luddite but — well maybe you can “call me” on your advertised cellphone plan. Thanks.

Am I missing something because this just seems stupid!
LL its not you… Its Ian…Ian,,, on your advice I going to go ahead and call you a Luddite,,, whatever the fuck that is…
Floyd, you’re such a sickofantic luddite.
Uh.. thats sickofantic NEO-Luddite to you Qwerty… Thanks..And yes, I googled it…
SHHHH! (*whispering*) he’ll hear you.
Ian is just being pedantic. Why use big words when diminutive ones will suffice? Do you think he meant those segues that Gob drives on Arrested Development? I don’t know what the phone plan thing is about though.
Ian was probably talking about the phone company promo folks riding around SGR this weekend. They were those segue things that GOB drove-and they’re big and awkward and a REALLY stupid thing to drive on the sidewalk during the Jazz Festival. They’re the most irritating form of advertising since those stupid scooters.And Floyd? If you think you’re a Ludite yourself, try opening a dictionary. If you think you’re not, try dictionary.com.
