And he is packing all the time.....Giant, he wants fisticuffs to come back. Maybe he'd think twice about that if he saw you in person, you mutated monkey!Really everyone, Scott is F***ING HUGE. And I am not some tiny fella myself, so yeah, he is a big S.O.B.... and Ugly too...
What I miss isn't even pre-Internet... it's pre-Google. I used to shock people with my prowess at Jeopardy and all things educational. I was bumped up grades, finished school early, etc. people used to say to me "how the hell did you learn all this different stuff?" I told them "I read books". Now, they just think I Googled stuff. Everyone is an expert now thanks to Google. It has lessened the value of the know it all blowhard like me. Sad days, friends, sad days indeed.
Sorry for all the replies, I just stumbled across this thread today. I know, late bloomer.
We got google, we got spell check. We don't need to remember anything anymore. We got sh*t for brains.
I actually make it a point not to Google stuff for answers and just for info instead if it's something of which I am ignorant. This has kept my arrogance at the level it should be for a know it all.
Hey, speak for yourself!!
My mind is filled with useless trivia. You want me on your Trivial Pursuit team! Anyone want to 'google' me?Hey, speak for yourself!!
I remember in school when you could not spell a word, the teacher would hand you a "dictionary" and you were told to look it up.
The local schools are also no longer teaching cursive handwriting.
I know! And Pluto isn't a planet anymore......My childhood is disappearing!
Sh^t fer brains... ha ha ha... that used to be a loved ones favorite cut down... like Reds 'dumbazz' from the 70's Show
And this always drove me nuts. I would say to them, "If I don't know how to spell it, how am I supposed to look it up?"
...but I got a pretty mouth....Giant, he wants fisticuffs to come back. Maybe he'd think twice about that if he saw you in person, you mutated monkey!
...even when it's not a gun....so to speak...
...only if I've still got a couple of rubber gloves left....My mind is filled with useless trivia. You want me on your Trivial Pursuit team! Anyone want to 'google' me?
