[UPDATE]: Welcome Macdailynews Readers. Do you think it was just an oversight that there is no cut, copy, and paste function on the phone?

[UPDATE 2]: More photos Over Here on Flickr

Clayton and I are in line at Northpoint Mall for the iPhone. We’re like the 35th people in line.

Edit by Clayton: Because you know you want pictures.

Oh, wow, like, like, that’s just TOTALLY Wayyyyy COOOOllll!

Now, are you THE 35th person in line, or, “like” the 35th person in line?

Clayton June 29, 2007 at 10:20 am

Dude, we got here and saw the line and I was like WOAH and Erick was like WOAH.

buzzbrockway June 29, 2007 at 10:31 am

Sweet. You guys are frickin awesome.

Hey, when they say “like, do you want a free one too?” say “heck yea” and give it to me.

Demonbeck June 29, 2007 at 10:32 am

Are the Alpha Betas there chanting, “Nerds. Nerds! NERDS!”?

ugavi June 29, 2007 at 10:32 am

geeks…..

ChuckEaton June 29, 2007 at 10:33 am

Did you all recognize anyone from the “Star Wars” line?

Andre Walker June 29, 2007 at 10:34 am

You know, there is nothing worse than two guys sitting in a mall with a bunch of disposable income in their pockets.

Is Ogre there handing out wedgies?

shep1975 June 29, 2007 at 10:34 am

This better not be where my campaign contribution is going! :)

Demonbeck June 29, 2007 at 10:36 am

Ask Booger to burp. Hilarity usually ensues.

ugavi June 29, 2007 at 10:50 am

shep – i’m with u there.

JRM2016 June 29, 2007 at 11:02 am

Don’t the phones go on sale at 6?

Erick June 29, 2007 at 11:02 am

No, no. The campaign contribution is not going to Apple. The campaign contribution is going to the freakin’ postcard printer. Good grief.

You know, I actually am concerned that I need more votes than Mickey Mouse and the other write-in candidates.

Erick June 29, 2007 at 11:04 am

Yes, JRM, they do.

Jason Pye June 29, 2007 at 11:28 am

**cough** nerds **cough**

Demonbeck June 29, 2007 at 11:28 am

Who’s watching Erick’s chocolate moose?

Where’s the guy dressed up as Chewbacca?

Romegaguy June 29, 2007 at 11:44 am

Does the line also double for the Transformer movie ticket line or the Harry Potter?

Demonbeck June 29, 2007 at 11:46 am

Harry Potter – Book or movie?

shep1975 June 29, 2007 at 11:48 am

That does remind me…all of you who think what Erick is doing is cool, I’ll be getting a group together next week at midnight for Transformers. No Decepticons allowed.

buzzbrockway June 29, 2007 at 11:56 am

I’ll confess I’ve waited in line at midnight for Star Wars, LOTR, even Spiderman III, but I really have no interest in the Transformer movie.

Romegaguy June 29, 2007 at 11:56 am

“book or movie?”

Does it matter?

Joshua Patterson June 29, 2007 at 11:57 am

“You know, there is nothing worse than two guys sitting in a mall with a bunch of disposable income in their pockets.”

They’ll be fine. It isn’t like they are at Greenbriar or Southlake.

TPSoCal June 29, 2007 at 12:03 pm

Please tell me there is a Northpoint Mall in Macon, and you did not drive all the way to Alpharetta?

MelGX June 29, 2007 at 12:06 pm

I still can’t get over the fact that you guys are Mac heads. That’s just so wrong, and a complete buzz kill.

Andre Walker June 29, 2007 at 12:06 pm

Joshua,

If they were at Greenbriar or Southlake, that wouldn’t be disposable income in their pockets. It’d probably be money from their “baby’s momma.”

And particularly at Greenbriar, they’d probably be shot by now.

Erick June 29, 2007 at 12:06 pm

TPSoCal, I drove to Alpharetta. I wouldn’t do this alone. Clayton lives in Alpharetta and the wife and kids are out of town. There was nothing better to do.

Josh, expect hate mail. ;)

Erick June 29, 2007 at 12:11 pm

Sorry Mel. I’m on my Mac Book Pro right now.

buzzbrockway June 29, 2007 at 12:14 pm

Hey Mel,

I don’t use a Mac, but I do wear Birkenstocks and I have several friends who drive Volvos. ;-)

Clayton June 29, 2007 at 12:16 pm

What I find funny is that about 100 yards away, Star 94 is having a car giveaway contest where people have to live in a car for a month – last one standing wins. You just have to live in your own filth for 30 days and only go to the bathroom when someone gives you permission. Oh yeah, and nothing in the car to keep you busy – only food allowed.

So all of the sudden we are the freak show.

Clayton June 29, 2007 at 12:18 pm

Actually now that I think about it I’ve waited longer on a cancelled flight than this…

Icarus June 29, 2007 at 12:28 pm

“the wife and kids are out of town. There was nothing better to do.”

Geeks.

Demonbeck June 29, 2007 at 12:29 pm

Romegaguy,
“book or movie?”

Does it matter?

I was just trying to speak their language.

Donkey Kong June 29, 2007 at 12:42 pm

If I had some expendable $$ I’d have a Mac also. Those things rock.

CobbGOPer June 29, 2007 at 1:17 pm

“You know, there is nothing worse than two guys sitting in a mall with a bunch of disposable income in their pockets.”

No, man, that’s called Capitolism!

Romegaguy June 29, 2007 at 1:44 pm

If you speak to the sales rep in Klingon when purchasing the phone you get a discount.

GOPeach June 29, 2007 at 5:25 pm

Okay who is Erick – The guy in the yellow or the white shirt???

Bill Simon June 29, 2007 at 9:54 pm

The picture I want to see on PeachPundit is a picture of Erick’s (or Clayton’s) iPhone that has PeachPundit.com pulled-up on it. :-)

ugavi June 30, 2007 at 8:14 am

Clayton – Thanks again. Good seeing you guys. The iPhone did rock.
