Shows what you know, brat.  No sense of tradition.  Shameful.

Can't go wrong with miswak!

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

It's been 2+ years since Ted Stevens commented about internet "tubes" and not a day goes by when some tech guy doesn't reference it sarcastically, on blogs and in person.

There's something in here about Sarah Palin, Alaska politicians, and getting your tubes tied.  Let's get cracking, Leno staffers!

I am going to get my tubes tied because i am afraid I would severely disappoint my offspring. Then i'm going to freeze myself to death, just like in the movies. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

true...but prior to the internet people still referred to books, periodicals, archives, and people just as frequently when needed. 



My guess is people probably did not refer to print resources as frequently as they do Wikipedia. So it's possible (possible) that we are more informed now.

When I think about it, I read a ton and didn't really watch TV or anything as a child. So it's logical to think that I would be reading more if it wasn't for the internet. But I think I would still be way less informed about the world in general- both in terms of things like music and comedy and in terms of world events and "real" knowledge.

Mostly I'm just angry at anyone who writes an article about how stupid kids today are. Sorry we didn't purposely ignore all technology developed in the last 50 years in order to perfectly replicate your own experience, which is of course the ideal.

I will always hold dear to my heart the hold music from NJ Transit circa 1990. After being forced to listen to it for blocks of 15-20 minutes, I could not help but fall under it's hypnotic beauty.

with a casio-esque drum pattern played beneath, a male voice would speak/sing the following line:

"Enjaaaaaaaaay Tran-sit......Workin......New Jersey On the Move...."

Holy s-hit Bobo, I totally forgot about that stupid hold music until just now.  Did you have to live the carless life in NJ in the early 90s too?  I wound up in some pretty hairy situations, as evidently they have a policy of hiring the meanest people in the entire state to drive the buses, and then they route them all through the most dangerous neighborhoods they can find.  But oh yes do I remember sitting on that phone waiting to find out when my last train or bus or whatever was.  Hey, maybe I was the reason you were on hold, or vice versa!

And yes, Dan, I was 25 minutes late to the first class of the semester on Douglass because the EE goes to like Piscataway or some shit and no one saw fit to tell the faculty that it had been rerouted (though, to be fair, I haven't taught on Douglass since 2005).  I should just walk.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I used to  like when the train went through Secaucus. The conductor always said:  "SEEEEE....CAWWW-KUSS!!!" Do they still do that, or is it all automated voices now?
