T9Word Adventures [Matt]

I've been sent back to 1999 cell-phone-wise, which has its own perks and drawbacks. It's strange how the onboard flashlight is far more helpful than many of the functions of a iPhone would be here.
In any case, the old school word predictor is a fun little blast from the past. It brought humor to my evening a few days ago during the following exchange:
Chris texts me: On man date with brian in San jose watching stand up/little bitches. It's as weird as it sounds.
My response: Did you set out a plate for me/my spirit? Also, slip brian a little tongue from me.
Word predictor had a sweet time with this. In addition to the never-gets-old habit of predicting "asian" when the letters for "brian" are typed, it also mistook "plate" to be "slave". When I left off the "e" at the end of "tongue," it came up with "vomit".
Thus, the original predicted message was: Did you set out a slave for me/my spirit? Also, slip asian a little vomit from me.
Gold.

The stock photo guy on the T9 software offering's homepage actually looks like he's laughing at some goofy shit his phone just spat out.

Also, how do you feel about the icon? I think it has a cool meta appeal since we know the backstory of the picture, but lemme know
