brigitte dale #409 winky ha ha

[nico3641]

this was the lamest video ever ;)

[seehowirock]

I almost can't watch these videos because you remind me so much of a girl I used to date :-/ But you are lovely, so I will struggle through!

[TravisTriplet003]

bahahaha. be safe. use a winky.

you are officially on my heroes list.

[dhfhdfhd]

STOP SENDING ME MESSAGES ;)

[kam6865]

she is so cute would love to meet her!

[jenerikuser]

Use a winky!  ;)

[broadwayscaera]

I had to find this video again because I got a new Blackberry and I don't know if I've done something really freaking weird to it or what, but my friends have been getting repeat texts all day. Like, repeated messages of excitement about Ingmar Bergman's film-making. So I think I have forever turned my friends off of Ingmar Bergman because of this.

[gregair]

i get the same message from others, but i don't think i have ever had it on the outbox. and winky is important in almost every funny text message regardless of sarcasm or not.

[mma171]

This is a good example of why texting is a poor form of communication and should not be used by grown adults.

[Winky395]

its all about the Winky!

[hugozoom]

gads?

[sweethot56]

@hugozoom gads... short for gadzooks. ;)

[hugozoom]

hi Brigitte-- maybe they discuss this on some message boards about cell phones n texting, also, maybe certain models of phones are more prone to do this. (I noticed one commenter also suggested it might be the service provider's snafu. )

[jeffe2222]

This is exaclty why men shouldn't be trying to use text as a dating tool. At least until the woman knows you well enough to get it without you having to "set it up".  Just my 2 cents.

[whitefloweret]

What about turning it off?

[kleeklai]

ha!

;) I'm a big user of the winky, the only problem is that some take it as a flirtation regardless of the context.

bunch of pervs out there!

;)

and people who wink in real life kind of creep me out.

lol @ the arm jig, which I only do in real life sarcastically btw

[Hexmath]

Texting = electroinic boyfriend leash. You can feel the web getting tighter.

[mmmcatfood]

hahah

awesome!

[bmacri]

... so I had to watch this video twice... not sure why ;)

[byronhiggs]

boring!!!

less winky

more dance off

[pinksheetmillions]

Brigitte, Two Requests:

1- Whats your take on the American Idol finals?

2- Do you have any ghost stories, or past ghosty experiences?

[glimmil]

you must have Alltel, my friends with Alltel send me texts and i get them several times and for hours. lol.

[dustyb58]

you're so stupid, brigitte. ;)

[360shui]

It's a little known fact that texting and twitter are only appropriate if your between the ages of 10 and 14 years old.

So if you're out of those parameters you probably need a psychiatrist

[Flap999]

winky face? I prefer to use this for almost any occasion - :8F

figure it out...although I bet you know already, you seem very intelligent.

[sosarah]

Thank you.

[Noctambulist47]

How creepy.

[stars202]

the second portion of this video is the story of my life

[Winky395]

Always add the ;-) 'y face

[draco2552]

GASP!!

I used Dry Humor & Sarcasm all the time!!!!

I'm DOOMED!!!

Seriously, I text but only with 1 person and 9 times out of 10 I'll IM them or even CALL them.Yes, I know I'm stuck in the 20th century.....

But really, the day I rely on my cel phone text capability to be the only way I communicate with people over long distances is the day I bury myself in a crypt.

Oh, and here's a way to stop the overtexting problem; TURN OFF THE PHONE.

;) LOL Seriously, great vid as always Brigitte.

[Fortune8Phool]

Unbelievable. "Texting" is now a verb and people are actually using texts for real communication in their lives. Sad. And people wonder why our culture is getting so cold.

[thegreatestwall]

I am fundamentally incapable of using emoticons. I tried it once; it was a complete disaster.

I propose that we as a society instead agree on a notation that indicates a lack of seriousness but avoids making you feel like you are at disneyland running from the creepy costumed mouse who is trying to give you a hug. The ~ is one option. It's used for uncertainty in math. It's a little wide/ugly for every day use though. I'm a fan of the double comma,, it's new and (youtube is cutting me off

[Lunerrrrs]

Its awkward using winky's in work emails but sometimes i HAVE to or else it could look like i'm a real jerk : /

[MadSmokerBBQ]

Your phone is hacked, totally. Someone loaded software on it to monitor. Betcha.

[broadwayscaera]

My favorite thing is that I always think texting and driving is okay if it's my mom and she'll send my a text saying, "Where are you?"...because my phone is weird and a lot of times I have sent instead of "Drivin home" the text "Drivin ho".

[DannysCam]

i don't have this problem... because i don't own a cell phone. i shit in a bucket and grow my own food. hey check out my channel!

[Soranima]

I once sent a photo of my pocket to a girl 8 times once - the camera slider slid down in my pocket took a photo and send itself 8 times to the first person in my phone book - sorry abi :(

[psaffrey]

My wife's name is Abi. She gets text messages from people sitting on their phones all the time. It sucks having a name that begins with A.

[michaelaranda]

Ha.

[littlestworkshop]

Or use a :P I guess ;P just makes you look demented

[almalinda06]

Be safe. Use a Winky.

It's sad that we need text lessons nowadays....

[czechchick86]

we have the same phone :)

[bikenik]

I can safely say this situation has never happened to me for the simple reason I don't own a mobile phone. There, I said it...I don't own one, so now I'm thoroughly embarrassed for admitting to not having a device that most people consider essential to their lives. What a luddite I must be...

I hope you're happy Brigitte.

8^)

[cole1991]

why would you bring it up? thats so awkward... the worst for me is when you text people and its like time important and they get it 10 minutes later. for example "hey bro i cant pick you up for school today(sick) so you better catch that 7:30 bus! ttyl" then 25 minutes later you receive a text saying "WTF DUDE thanks for sending me the text at 7:40 now i have to wait half an hour in the -20C just to be late for school and get yelled at"

:( FML thats actually happened.

[almalinda06]

ouch. super ouch.

[TunesAndStars]

wise words

[Lockescythe]

this happens with facebook messages too. I got a friend who blocked me off for a week now for making a joke in a message. She still hasn't forgiven me lol.

[byronhiggs]

less winky gags. more dance off gags!

peace be with you

[alskater01]

I sent a text around 5 pm about getting food. Person didnt get it till 1 am. Person got all annoyed saying why did i wake them up so late for food. I didnt.

[joefileman]

you have a bad cellphone ;)

[dimduk]

Nice view,I miss the mountains.

[testing4echo]

That's not happen to me yet..but I'm going to state the obvious and say call your service provider in case somethings wrong that you've not considered. I hate when I say something practical during funny topic. I think I'm just tired..hehe

[CasualDaveDotCom]

I have never had that happen. I think it's just you. ;)

[dspid2404]

This is why I don't carry my cell phone with me. Text Tension. I can't handle it. Not to mention I don't understand the language the comes with it.

[timmytheface]

This can be your niche'!!

[bearhuntaa]

Have you considered using a period for your sarcastic remarks? It works great when you aren't a very grammar oriented person, unlike this message here, where it wouldn't work. Or did it? Heh.

[robotnic]

Brigitte... you are awesome.

[specialmousenz]

5*s

(I wanted to put a smiley winky but you might think I'm being sarcastic about the 5*s)

[ohmyrainingducks]

the ending made me laugh.

"Be safe, use a winky"

Hahahah!

[WrittenInDork]

lol Another PSA should be: Be safe. Use a winky when making sarcastic remarks.

[tonylui28]

texting full blown

[Triwood1973]

The sender won't be winky ha ha-ing if he/she didn't have free texting!...

[Jackle61]

I can't wait for the day they come up with some sort of communication device where we can actually speak to the other person and they will be able to hear what we are saying, and possibley even reply back.

I know,,, but sometimes dreams do come true.

[pinksheetmillions]

Any guy worth a darn would laugh about the "ten text msg's" and look forward to seeing you even more because it would be something comical for the two of you to share with friends so he could lovingly tease you, and someday tell your grand kids about.

Of course, knowing you as we viewers do, you'd glow every time the story was told and every guy in the room would bask in your beauty.

;-)

[pinksheetmillions]

Wait a second, that smiley winky was just a smiley winky, not some other winky thing. This is just embarrassing.

;-)

[pinksheetmillions]

Sometimes REPLY doesn't go into the reply section. So these deleted posts are just duplicates in an attempt to place my comment correctly, sry my bad, haha.

[JERRYBOLAK]

oh hell use the video phone and they will see you, what do mean you don't have a video phone, I thought everyone had one.

winky winky winky

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Brigitte.

I never have had that problem. If i were to send out the same message over and over,I would lose my friends . They are like that.

[Devourer09]

I like when you smile. Because you hardly do it. :o

[nickmoviemverdi]

I just do the ... whenever I'm being sarcastic. And when I want a response out of someone who's not responding I just keep sending it and say my phone was being fucked up haha.

[Raphaelus13]

I'm not sure about repeated messages, but often people i know receive messages days later.

[digupmyheart]

My phone seems to like to either send out a text too many times in a row, or not deliver it at all.. damn you phone!! :(

[frumpyframpton]

You sent your friend the joke 10 times but wouldn't even tell me once so that I could ha ha at it? Jerk. ;-]

[CommentorX]

Some guys text without winkys, thinking that they can pull the text out of the inbox in time. However, sometimes it just feels so good, and the inbox is so tight that they wind up sitting on the edge of the bed, phone in their hands, saying, "Hey, baby, I couldn't help myself." So guys, keep a winky in your pocket - and use them.

Also remember to change your winkys from time to time. Because nothing is worse than a stinky winky.

Ha.

[galindium]

I never use winky faces, I personally hate them. They look childish. Oh, dam that's why people keep asking me why I am mad or something, I'm not!

[EricJaffa]

Can you tell us the make-and-model of the phone and name of the phone-service provider, in case we want to avoid those?

[byronhiggs]

be safe. use a winky!

hehe that sounds rude!

DANCE OFF!

peace be with you

[iberollin]

Oh Brigitte, don't fall into the I-need-to-clarify-that-last-te­xt-I-sent trap. It is a tortured world where sarcastic jokers have to worry about their hilarious jokes hurting people accidentally. I never do anymore and it turns out okay.

[andreous7]

;-)

[jpaulholl]

Hahaha. Great vid today!

I've never had my phone send multiple texts, but I have had problems where my reply texts weren't received. Then you don't know whether to send another text if the person doesn't reply or if their just not replying...

I use this face for jokes and sarcasm. :P

~John Paul

[conxcience]

（＾＿－）wink

[nbwulf]

Just another day in the life... enjoyed it. (=

Cheers... J.

[meggies007]

no but sometimes they dont go through. or come really late

[fyrestorm359]

I love it, "Use a winky." LOL

[MrNN83]

A 'winky'? I like the idea of using them a lot more now I know they're called that ;)

[AntiCliche]

This actually happens to me all the time! Also, my phone uncontrollably calls the person I last called, even if it's on lock. It results in a lot of person-to-pocket conversations!

[Keibon240]

Never had my phone continuously text anyone. But I have had my phone not receive texts for days, and then I send one, and then all the ones I should have been getting pop in my inbox at once. I don't have that phone anymore...

[Ellachalmers]

winky faces kinda creep me out.

[aaro79]

;)

...

;)

Wuh, I just kinda actually creeped myself out! I think it was adding the second one that did it. I'm so sorry, I understand now. :(

[aaro79]

P.S. - Nice video, Brigitte. I totally got the "snowball out of control" gesture. ;)

*shudders* Winky, I'll never be able to look at you the same way again.

[mujitsukyo]

i hate when i get 2 of every msg

[shadow0fth3night]

My old phone used to have a mind of its own. But now i got the iPhone so this baby does what i tell it to do. I love your video blogs. Dave

[GoldenView88]

the text thing happens if you text yourself, I tried it and it texts a loop
