'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My grandfather is so hip he's had both replaced. When I was living with him he drove a Porsche with the license plate HUBRIS. At my step-grandmother's memorial service, their coke dealer chatted me up. They kept it in the freezer, wrapped in tin foil; it kept better that way.
He's kind of an asshole, actually. But still my grandfather.
My grandparents had Prodigy.
I'm remembering how my Dad's prescription snorkel mask arrived the day he was supposed to leave to spend the weekend at a downtown hotel to take the stress of the commute out of the overall stress of taking the CPA exam. A lot of the other hotel guests were also CPA candidates. What must the rest of them have thought, when a large old man entered the pool in a snorkel mask? Of course he had to try it out... it was brand new!

It's been described by Neatorama:
Some of you might be familiar with Cake Wrecks, a site that mocks botched baked goods. This site is sort of like Cake Wrecks for weddings. If you think the camo tuxes are something, wait til you see the Hello Kitty dress and the gal who chose hot pants and bustiers for herself and her bridesmaids. To each his (or her) own, I guess!
Note to self: Make sure my wedding does not combine jokey candles that you can't blow out and people covering the bride and groom with Silly String.
Also, I thought the goth weddings were kinda cool, but the Camouflage Weddings are all WTF. The blog poses the following question for our times:
Does there really need to be a severed deer foot cake knife holder?
My grandfather was a telegraph operator.
My uncle has my old AOL email address. Whenever my dad sends things to both of us, it's disconcerting to see it.
My grandparents never had computers, and for most of them, electricity was a new-fangled luxury.
I spent a lot of time on the Internets in the mid-90s. On, you know, boards. That I could telnet to. When I ran out of single line ones to dial up for the night.
I was all over everything in the late 90s. Compuserve, AOL, Delphi, and various FIDONet boards. Just in case, you know.
There was more then one camouflage wedding?
compuserve. something else at the library -- all text. How I loved netscape when I first saw it....
me too.
