For anyone who listens to Bob and Tom, I like their version of Tw*tter the best.

I really don't know what Twitter is, I've heard that MySpace is some sort of pedophile and **** cruising site. I don't even like text messaging. And most of the time, I purposely leave my cell phone at home. I like being non connected.

I heard a clip of that Steven Colbert guy on the radio. I think he was on "The View" or the "Today Show" or some other show I don't watch and one of the women asked him "do you twitter?"
He replied "yes I have twatted."

They fell all over themselves trying to figure out how to respond to that.

I laugh my butt off at Bob and Tom and then I can't remember any of it to reapeat to anyone. They throw so much stuff at you in their skits and songs that I forget what i heard while listening for the next thing.

I've only had a cell phone for about 2-3 months and when I got it they couldn't believe I didn't want text messaging and internet.
I didn't even want a camera in it but that's the only way they come nowadays.

I set up an account a few years ago posting pictures of a truck I was building/ selling. I used a secondary Yahoo email account for it (I"m glad I did). The last time I checked, I was getting about 50 "friends" requests a day on the email account. When I clicked on the profile view, it would take me to their profile and then it would say something about MySpace not letting them do.... whatever, go to this site, which turns out to be a pay 4 **** site.

My 50-something-year-old uncle sent an e-mail and was all hyped up for everybody to go on facebook with him like it was the greatest thing ever.
ON GENERAL PRINCIPAL I don't think I will ever go to facebook or myspace or anything else. If someone has a use for it or uses it as a "tool" to acomplish something that's all well and good but I'm not going to go cruising around "lookin' for friends", new or old.

It's the same reason I won't even look at people driving Hummer H2s, all show and no go.

I like having a camera in my phone because I never have a camera whan i want to take a picture. Un like most people I don't have a home phone just my cell phone. I don't have internet on my phone though thats just dumb.

This touches on another thing that pisses me off why to 9yr old kids need cellphones? Or atleast fully functional one i can understand getting them the ones that can only call the parents and the police.

And what really grinds my gears is thees emo kid acting like lifes so hard growing up in midle class suaburbia. "my life sucks my parents bought mre this stupid cell phone and this dumb merceadies poor me." Maybe if you didn't dress like a freak and get made fun of all the time you wouldn't be miserable.

And why oh why was it sucha big deal if you picked on the wierd kids when i went to high school? I bet when older guys went to school people got picked on all the time and no body shot any body but no we have to codle every one, maybe thats why the flip out and bring guns to school when they get picked on because they were codled so much they couldn't handle the real world. It was wierd becaus i was in school during the transition from the boys will be boys aditude to you cant pick on any one.

Man i sure got sidetracked there didn't I.

I know!! I've nearly had to pull over at times because I was laughing so hard.

My favorite is Chick McGee.

Well, after reading the last 2 pages, I guess I never twittered after all. Musta been a pigment of my imagination.

Still not sure what "twitter" is. Got some birds out on the wall that make that sound though.

Everyone should have a Yahoo type email account, Use this as your secondary email addr.
Then use your ISP email account (primary email) for personal, give to family and REAL CLOSE friends only, give everyone else your "Secondary email"...

I actually use three, Private, Public, and Online ordering!

I don't twitter, text or anything like that, I am on a self imposed technology black out, for 20 years I was head down @$$ up into technology, even my house/pool/hot tub are run by computer technology (built by me) and now I hate it all!

Unfortunately it is required in todays world.

-Enjoy

I heard on a tv add today that there are 30,000 twitters a second or might have been a minute either way 3 days ago I had never heard of it.

I guess that isn't too bad I never new what a dead head was or ever heard of greatful dead till about 6 months before garcia died. I guess I have had a sheltered life.
