I would really, really love to have the Epic 4G, and I'm going to tell you how it could have changed my life a few days ago, if only...
Friday evening my son hollered from the backyard "Mom, Dad, come here. The dog found a RAT!" Of course we rushed to the back yard and sure enough, there was a rat cowering in the bushes.
I asked my lovely bride to get me a bucket, and when she delivered said bucket, I approached the vile vermin with the intention of trapping it. At this very moment, the rascally rodent chose to dash for safety. My dog, eager to prove his worth, promptly pounced upon the hapless hamster and tossed it several feet in the air, only to have it land at my sons bare feet.
As you might imagine, at this point much shrieking (who knew my voice would go so high?) and laughter is occurring, so it was difficult to croak out a "jump, move, get away" suggestion to my son, but dance away he did. Again my fine four legged friend rushed in and tossed the flying phalanger skyward, this time 10 or 12 feet. I looked up in disbelief as the squealing shrew arced down directly towards my face.
Purely as a defensive gesture I raised the bucket over my head (yes, still in hand) and turned my head. When I realized I had not felt the furry fleabag on my precious skin, I lowered the bucket and stared in disbelief at the shivering squeaker, cozily ensconced in what was to be its eternal resting place.
At the beginning of this post I said the Epic 4G could have changed my life if I'd only had it a few days ago. How's that, you ask? Well, if I had called to my wife and asked for a bucket AND bring the Epic 4G and capture this on its spectacular camcorder, I may have found fame and possibly fortune (AFHV, maybe? At least Mr. Warhols 15 minutes on YouTube), rather than this hackneyed attempt at alliteration...
