Cool, except it's rather bulky. Isn't the first rule of techno-toys that the smaller they are, the cooler they are?

Nope, cars, bikes, tires and guns get cooler as they get bigger.

You said that the smaller techno-toys are the cooler they are, not that the smaller cell phones are the cooler they are. The later is true, but the former is false.

But he still refuses to try a MoonPie.

Syntax: He might be British, but Nitram hates tea. Now, if you want some, I make Real Southern-Sweet tea. With over a cup of sugar per 2quart pitcher.

Selina would NEVER drink Pepsi. In fact, I happen to know she's a Zesti woman to the core.
