The first step to phone conversation is to stab yourself in the ear with a pen so you are completely devoid of hearing. Then all you have to do for the rest of the time is just use intelligent catchphrases like "Uh huh" and "Really? That's crazy."

I've talked on the phone for 4 hours before. Debating whether or not doors are migratory(see: European Swallows) can really get out of hand.

Here's how: Take any phone, though non-cordless is recommended for maximum time (batteries do run out), take any brand duct-tape and hold the phone to your ear with the receiving end in position relative to your mouth (but leave space to allow yourself to eat, you don't want to fall unconscious mid-conversation) and proceed to wrap the tape around your head and the phone so that the Phone is securely in position (but be sure not to tape over your mouth and/ or nose, if you do, just cut a hole through the tape where your mouth is). Also it is recommended you keep a recent edition Encyclopedia near to refresh the conversation (Dying from boredom permanently ends all conversations).

Well good luck to you!

Here's how you talk on the phone for about an hour--occupy yourself with something. That way, you can only really being saying "uh-huh" and other phrases not longer than four syllables. The conversaion on the other line therefore can't pick up much, especially with a girl, and henceforth will take a longer time to complete.

Or, you just have Diahrreah of the Mouth (and possible Constipation of the Mind)

Hi all, I'm very new to this forum (about 2 hours) so I might be missing something here- but what has all this phone and ear stabbing business got to do with xbox, Bungie, Microsoft...etc? Or is all this code languagefor some secret government conspiracy theory??

Do you seriously mean that, or are you being facetious?

Instant messaging is a lot easier when it comes to conversations, you never have to deal with any of those ackward silences.

....I think were delving into the topic too much. Youre making the nubbiez (i.e. Me) very confuzd.

I never really quite understood what goes on when people talk on the phone for an extensive amount of time especially cell phones. I mean you cant walk 20 feet without seein someone walkin on the sidewalk with their cellphones ductaped to their head. It makes me sick! Really it does I vomit on them when I pass by them. Then I see people driving and talking on the phone and suffice to say I dont feel safe walking anymore...I always get the feeling some douche bag is talking to his girlfriend and he probably doesnt have the mental capacity to gas, gas, break stear and be blabbin about how hez gonna nail her that night!!

Its gettin to be ri-god-damn-diculous.

I say good riddance.
