Green or Pink. . .

[Splinemodel]

So I'm really tempted to buy a mini iPod, and I think I'm going to bite.

The whole color thing really does it for me, as does the smallness things. The regular iPod is still a little clunky and hard to fit in a pocket.

So, which one looks better, green or pink? I haven't seen those colors in person, but they are definitely my two favorite given the others. While getting a pink iPod is kind of girly, I'd say have enough kojones to pull it off with out taking any extremely annoying "Queer Eye" references.

[nwhysee]

imho, silver is the only choice for me.

[Ebby]

Personally, I would go with blue or silver. But that's just me. Out of the two colors you choose I vote for the green. (I take it those are your two top choices)

[Anders]

If it wasn´t for that show I would buy a pink for myself. There is nothing worse than trying to have an edge and provoke a little and then end up being extremly "hip"

PS: I would just kill to see this show (http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/straightplanforthegayman/)

I'd say pink just because nobody else will have it and you'll be unique!

[LoCash]

Face it, pick PINK and you'll always have a starting topic with chicks

do you have small pockets, a friend at school has a second gen 10 gig (touchwheele and buttons around it) and it fits in my pocket just fine, and the 3rd gen are realy thin, thinner than the wallet needed to buy 1

[SilentEchoes]

Green! The green is just bad ass lookin,

thinner than the wallet needed to buy 1
:lol:

[CosmoNut]

I really like the green one as well. If only they made iPod in green. :(

[MacUsers]

I like the silver and the blue, but the green is cool too, wow that rhymes, I probably wouldn't get the pink though...

[Messiahtosh]

I ordered the blue. To me it was between silver and blue, but I went with the more liberal choice, hehe.

[PS5533]

PINK smells good!

[Wrong Robot]

Green.

My pockets are normal sized, but I don't have a special iPod pocket except in two lightweight jackets I own. (no joke. . . one of the jackets has eyelets meant for stringing a headphone cable through.) And I'd always have more stuff than just the iPod on me.

I was thinking that too. Between the kilt and the pink iPod, I have those bases covered.

:smokey:

Between the iPod and the kilt you will never fail to be thought of as "different" ;)

Heh. I'm indeed different. . . . no pistons in my car, no windows on my desk, no pants on my legs.

Well, I only wear the kilt for novelty situations. Like when I go out drinking with friends. It is the ultimate conversation starter.

And no, I'm 0% scottish. Not even close. Some of my distant, but direct, relatives of the Armenian side (the Norair side) were Presbyterian ministers, so I guess that counts. But see. . . that makes an even better story.

[ast3r3x]

Tell me you don't wear black and chains or anything spiked (besides hair <1" long) and think your hard because you listen to punk.

Sorry, just have problem with people who do stuff because they feel they need attention, not saying that is you, just a small rant :)

Hah. No, that's not me. I bought the RX-7 because it was the purest sports/race car that I could afford, and the whole rotary thing was kind of cool. I bought the kilt because some of the guys on the rugby team have 'em, and they're much fun.

I have a friend that I work with who is really into pink for some reason, and it rubbed off on me. But his girlfriend just got him a regular iPod for his borthday or something, and he would have otherwise bought the pink mini. I was going to get the green, but now that I won't be "cramping his style," the pink is available as an option. The pink really grows on you. Look at some of the pictures.

And I hate punk. I kinda like speed metal, though, but it's a fascination that you wouldn't assume if you met me.

[ipodandimac]

i REALLY wish they would come out with a black mini. (to blend in with my tux of course :lol: )

[Splinemodel]

Just for the record, I'm kind of disappointed with the turn out on the "you need a girlfriend" option.

I assure you that I'm very close to being back in business.

:smokey:

[BuonRotto]

green! green! green! green! green!

envy! horny! money! irish! puky!

we love green! :D

An iPod mini may be a conversation starter in itself. Go for the classier color, silver.

no both silver and green are boring colors too dull for me so i'd go with pink or blue but never gold too flashy i guess you could say. pink and blue have personality to them go with pink my man PINK and thats an order

Pink is gay, you want the clear one, uhh, wait for 4G - damm NDA :D

I think it's the sharpest color. Unfortunately, you're right. I would never hear the end of it. :lisp: :D

I wouldn't want a clear one even if it did exist. I do, however, like the pink and the green. At this point, I'm kind of leaning towards the pink. I drive fast cars and shoot guns. It would be a funny piece of irony.

Yeah, you non-conformist. You're too funny. An engineer with a sense of humor... go figure...

Alright. . .

I was leaning towards pink, and the results were not overwhelming in one way or another. So I'm going to place an order for the pink mini iPod "any day now." (once I get rent out of the way) Now I just need to see what I want engraved on the back. . . for free!

Given you guys reached the conclusion that I need a girlfriend, it might be fitting to engrave "Let's get coffee sometime." That's a bit more tasteful, but less funny, than "Wanna hump?"

[Pumpkintosh]

If you're a wannabe goth, you need to get pink. Otherwise, green AND you need a girlfriend.

What's with this "goth pink" thing? I thought those types were into black. Where I come from, pink is more of a preppy thing. Do "goths" these days also carry around Hello Kitty merch? I associated the pink fascination with asian fobs and white preppies, for the most part.

Jonathan could tell you about the finer parts of wearing pink ralph lauren. I'm more of a white shirt preppy.

[Kenneth]

Pink!

Don't go for something common.

Mmmmmm, I agree. It matches the G5 case so well.

I think you've got it.

[Splinemodel]

The other option is, of course, "My Pink 3 Incher."

[Splinemodel]

It's settled.

I am $5 grand richer today. . . so without further ado.

subtract 75 at the liqour store and 25 for some beers at hooters.

subtract 250 for a pink iPod mini with
"I Drive Fast Cars"
"And Shoot Big Guns"
engraved on the back.

[alcimedes]

bah, engrave

"No Pistons" on the back

[Mac_ken_Cheez]

Black is back

[quagmire]

Silver or gold I say. Silver matches with the G5's and powerbooks case. Gold because its just neat.

My thoughts exactly. So go get your pink iPod mini, then concentrate on finding a girlfriend. Take the iPod with you.

[pscates]

I have to go with green. But damn, LoCash DOES have a point with the pink.

[Splinemodel]

I hate to piss on the campfire, but I've had my pink, mini iPod for a while now.

;)

It is indeed a conversation starter.

[mattjohndrow]

i voted green, but you should get pink, because the pink starbursts are the best!
