In he walks in an unassuming way, having worked his way across the parking lot to the coffee shop. Then, in response to an out of place bu-deep bu-deep, he pulls a pager out of his pocket and I realize he didn’t just walk across the parking lot. He walked through time.
Pager Man: He comes from the past

Pager Man seemed a little surprised at whatever the message was. While it was probably something important like “867-5309,” I’m kind of hoping it was “58008.”

I mock those like you who mock those who use classic technology.
