well, that maybe a slight exaggeration but I really miss the days when you could 'argue' for days about 'which actor was in...'?, 'who wrote such and such a song...' or just about anything that in the olden days would have taken a fair amount of research.
These days, 2 minutes on t'internet and you have the answer.

Yes...pretending to know something was quite an art back then.


Mind you, it goes on all the time here...

You know what'r really ruining my life Daryl? Youtube! I can't even watch a video without looking at things that are related in the side-bar. The next thing you know, 4 hours goes by and I say to myself "I did it again!" It's really getting nuts! I literally have to ignore the side-bar or I know I'll be here watching related material until the cows come home. LOL! Then....you get so into it, you somehow wind up in that "weird part" of Youtube where you don't know how you ended up there and are shaking your head wondering what type of people put these videos up? LOL!

 Danny I am the exact say way in that regard. Youtube is my favorite place to watch TV now and I have a lot of other options. I think at least part of it is knowing that most of it isn't glossed over. It has videos on just about anything I want to see (and a lot of stuff I don't).Where else can you end up finding out things like this? There are a lot of videos you won't see anywhere else.lol.

I remember tracing back the chain of "authorities" to determine the value and authenticity of the original source. 

It was usually along the lines of, "I heard from this guy with the big blonde afro in the record store in Uptown that he knew a dude at the SuperDawg who played bass in a band that used to jam in a garage down the street from this big guy with a huge Harley who would ride over to a club in Bucktown near that place with the great Gyros where that one guy burned his hands on the fries and the dude behind the counter was wearing a button that was the same colour as the old VW bug that used to sit in front of that abandoned warehouse where that kid with the scar would set off fireworks that he bought from a guy who looked a lot like that guy on the commercial for the used car salesman that wears a plaid jacket like this other dude's dad who said that he read somewhere that the Moon landing was faked.  They made a mistake and landed on Mars.  It's true.  You can look it up."

Those were the days.
I knew that dude down at the SuperDawg... But he played a keytar, not bass. ;)



Seriously though, that was an awesome steam of consciousness, UB.

I googled "Who is right, me or the wife?" the wife told me it's her.

Does that make google right or wrong though.

Is she an actual wife? They have the goods on being right.
