Remembering someone's phone number is a good one -- I don't know anyone's number any more!
This is why I still dial with numbers most of the time, just so I'll remember the important ones.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

I'm surprised analog clocks are still around. But they are much more attractive than simple digital displays.

My kids certainly know about vinyl LPs and VCRs (which we still use almost daily since I've got all Emmett's old tapes, and I can get used ones for $1.99 at Amoeba).
And Emmett and I still like to go blow our money at the arcade, though now that he's got a Wii I'm wondering how long that will last.

We are starting to get lobbied for Nintendo related items as Christmas gifts. I'm all for a Wii, but I'm less sure about the DS.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A few years back a WFMU DJ was telling the story about how a listener (who I think was about 19) called her and asked what a 12" single was.

Ethics question:
Is it wrong to ding a business on yelp because the business owner almost caused an accident with you while she was driving? And you know the business's name because it was plastered on the car? And you know it's the owner because according to the pic on the website, it's the same woman who was gesticulating and rudely cursing you, even though you had the right of way?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'd say as long as you're reporting that incident, not saying you've done business with her and she sucks (if you haven't), I don't see the problem...
