Not currently but as a kid I used it all the time at recess.

Uh . .

What was the question? . . .
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
Oh..

What the heck is foursquare?
;-)
(thanks)
AnnaUndercover (Anna Undercover) says…
I would use it if I had a better phone. Am saving my pennies for the Android.
I signed up for an account and somehow indicated to it that I live in Paris, France. Whoops. Could be worse.
I'll fix that when I have a chance to use the darn thing.
flux (anonymous) says…
I've never heard of foursquare, except for the game played at recess in grade school
g_rock (anonymous) replies…
I always sucked at it....
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
Do you use Dodgeball?
geekyhost (anonymous) replies…
Ironically, that was the product first invented by the guy who made Foursquare. True story. Google bought Dodgeball and killed it. He left the company and made Foursquare.
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
Do you use Grabass?
prospector (anonymous) says…
No, everyone knows were to find me, at the bar at Free State.
autie (anonymous) says…
foursquare? right after tetherball.
what the hell is four square? and where can you get grabass?
CWGOKU (anonymous) says…
No, but I do hopscotch. Well, without the hop, just Scotch. Dewars.
autie (anonymous) says…
CWGOKU, hopscotch and four square lives unprecedented.
Dewars bless us all
Ceallach (anonymous) says…
Once again I can be accused of being one of the uninformed *sigh* and this is one of the rare times I will admit to it :) What is four square? Surely there is someone out there eager to inform us.
prospector (anonymous) says…
I had a chip implanted instead.

Some of what Spacehog said yesterday,
"...I've got long-range mace, baseball bats, bb guns, C-4, grenades, stop sticks, a Tech 9, a couple of Uzis, a bullhorn, and some of those James Bond tacks, all in the backseat of my '70 Fleetwood...."
I was wondering if somebody took him to the bunker? Glad he left the RPG's but I am wondering about the liquor.
Saturday night on the Plaza is a harbinger, so beware! I think a strategery meeting is needed to prepare for the "wilding" near you.

The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
The riots are starting early this year.
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
Ceal,
Foursquare is a game played with the red playground balls on asphalt or concrete. A square is drawn or painted on the ground with 4 quadrants. Each quadrant is numbered or "rank" in a clockwise fashion 1-2-4-3. The ball is put into play by the server, bouncing the ball once, then hitting it into another players square, where they let it bounce once and hit it to another players square. If a player makes an error, they are eliminated. The eliminated player leaves the court, the remaining players move up to the next highest square, and a new player joins the court in the lowest square.
Does that help Ceal?
BorderRuffian (anonymous) replies…
Hey - can you adapt that game to use a real ball? Or can you only do it on a phone?
ontheroadfitness (Raymond Munoz) says…
I did for a few days but then I got tired of it. Always trying out new iPhone apps only to find most of them are pointless. :)
Ceallach (anonymous) says…
Thanks, RI, in Béal Feirste (Belfast to you), we just played Dodge Bullets (no squares, no paint, and the balls were either orange or green).
autie (anonymous) says…
did I hear someone mention strategery?
Boy, they sure got Hwy 59 jacked up if you don't know where to detour...could be like they should put up a little more information on that road closed thing down there...Wasn't so bad going south. Then most of Anderson Clounty was on fire last night...couldn't hardly see the danged road in places.
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
autie,
When did your cravings peak?
Pywacket (anonymous) says…
No, I do not. When you can tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue, you can be excused for not knowing any iPhone apps.
Multi, I like the new avatar. Looks very Action Heroish.
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
"When you can tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue, you can be excused for not knowing any iPhone apps."
I don't even own an Iphone.
Pywacket (anonymous) replies…
Are you implying that you not only can tie the stems into knots with your teeth, but can also tie them in bows and juggle several? If so, you certainly do not need an iPhone! You are probably too busy to play juvenile phone games.
Katara (anonymous) replies…
It is not his teeth that he can do that with...

"When you can tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue"
#Damn harlots
Pywacket (anonymous) replies…
Haha... Naw..... Just a tease.
Ceallach (anonymous) says…
But can you untie it?
Pywacket (anonymous) replies…
Ah, bien sûr! It takes a little incisor action--very gentle.
Ceallach (anonymous) replies…
You know, of course, that you just caused a shiver of fear down the spines of many male posters :)
9070811 (anonymous) says…
Man, I loved to play Foursquare at recess!
But all that social media crap just makes people more self centered.
feeble (anonymous) says…
no, I'm not interested in telling the world my exact, geographical location, 24/7.
Foursquare is an app for would be robbers and stalkers, and a terrible, terrible breach of privacy for everyone else.
Ceallach (anonymous) replies…
I totally agree!
geekyhost (anonymous) replies…
Or, you know, you could only share your location with people on your friend's list and only when you wanted to be social, the way the app was intended to be used. That way if I'm grabbing a cup of coffee, my friends could see it and stop by if they chose.
autie (anonymous) says…
Mulit, that avatar is like one of Did I say that's puzzles.
and people don't need to know where I am. I thrive in a cloak of anonomity. Shadows slipping through the faceless crowds. Blending into the obscure sea of humanity.
Boston_Corbett (anonymous) says…
Yea. And I'm the Mayor of someone's mama's basement.
CWGOKU (anonymous) says…
Doesn't Spacehog have an ankle bracelet that tracks his where-abouts? That is all that foursquare does.

I read that as "... upwind of a bum for the better part of the last 30 hours." Silly me.

snap, did you pay to use that image? If not, you gotta lotta splainin to do.
autie (anonymous) says…
Happy Birthday, Mr. Dapple.
Boston_Corbett (anonymous) says…
I thought one wanted to be upwind. And on the left bank.
prospector (anonymous) says…
Snap and Multi, upwind of either is a good thing. Being downwind of some Lilacs right now would beat the heck out of both.
beatrice (anonymous) says…
No, I'm actually attached to all my friends by a series of ropes and strings. When you want to talk with someone, you pull the string to get people's attention, then you talk into the can.

Bob, Big Gubmint is trying to make it worse. They will require you to license your house and you can't sell it until it meets EPA Cap and Trade reg's. standards. Selling a fixer upper will be outlawed!
Damn Nanny State!

good thing I don't believe everything I see on the internet. texas wingnuts are the worst.
autie (anonymous) says…
If nobody worked for anybody, how would things run? That is kind of an esoteric thing there, ain't it spacehog? Life is all about quid pro quo...either that or entitlement mooching. Unless you just happen to be related to Thurston Howell III, lovey.

R_I, are you telling us that space will get a job when pigs fly? Or that he sees pigs fly when he is in the stars of a drug induced haze?
mr_right_wing (anonymous) says…
I am proud that besides the recess game, I have no idea what foursquare is!
I tried myspace and facebook and really didn't like either.
I will die without ever being on twitter as well.......
At some point our great-great-grandparents shook their heads in disbelief that you could call anyone on the telephone...you didn't have to go over to their house anymore for a face-to-face visit. I now feel the same about these social networks and messaging. You can have a whole relationship with another person without even seeing them, or hearing their voice. Just two keyboards conversing back and fourth in special code.

"At some point our great-great-grandparents shook their heads in disbelief that you could call anyone on the telephone..."
And yet I can imagine that the evolution of firearms doesn't disturb you one bit. Think the great-great-great-great grandparents could have imagined armor piercing bullets and AK-47s for use as "self defense"?
Just asking.
And even mentioning Rick Springfield is proof positive you are, indeed, on the outside. Oh, and I've never even been on either myspace or facebook, so I may indeed be further outside than you MRW.

nope. but i've used foreskin plenty of times.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know what "foursquare"is.
