What Did You Do Before The Internet Came Along?

[tompetty]

I learned how to use the Dewey decimal system.

I mastered the microfiche.

I spent hours and hours perusing catalogues, especially books, music, movies, and toys.

Sweet...Microfiche...How sweet is the color blue?

That brought something back....

I had a life before the internet, and I have one now. My life now allows me to include wonderful folks from around the world in my social circle, gives me access to information, music, and other entertainment I would have missed. It allows me to better record and share my music. It helped me to further my education and to share my work with others.

Yeah, having the internet sucks. :rolleyes:

So it improved your life? It is supposed to drag you into a life of sloth, greed, avarice, and porn.
WTH happened to you, creep?

Masturbated. Often.

If anything, the internet should have made that easier...and you don't have to keep those magazines under your mattress anymore.

Bought my porn using money at seedy adult bookstores.

This.
And watched waaaaaaay more TV.

True but you go through keyboards faster.

Who needed magazines?

I'm also remembering chores that got done in a more timely fashion. Like, as I type, my wife is removing the contents of the cabinet below the kitchen sink because it's leaking badly. I anticipate an inspection for cause, disassembly to the extent needed to effect repairs, a trip to the hardware store and back, cleaning off the crap from years of neglect, effecting the repair followed up by a clean-up, a beer(s) and a few moments to marvel at my handiwork. Chores. Then I get to chop up holly trees I cut down last week. I'd have done it then but some kind of spider bit me on the neck while working and it took me out for a couple days (the meek busy inheriting the earth - no problem). Then I have some work to do on the cars.

If I actually put my priorities where they need to be, I'd never be here.

Wow......That was cool on many levels...


The work sucks which is why I'm in a condo..

The wife has the house in the burbs,(which I'm helping pay for)..

Yard work can kiss my ass..If I want a vegetable I'll go to the store...

And fuck her in the ass for the car of hers that I'm paying for.....ha....

Hmmmmmmmmmm Spiders..............My only phobia............Thank God we don't get major spiders in our cool climate.......

I borrowed GFTPM mags for tab, read more books, and, well, mostly read more books.
