Ditto.

Yeah, back up. We just had a thunderstorm roll through. I'd guess that caused the temporary problem.

 

[Old Rocker]

Yup it is down everywhere

How do you know?

Surge pricing Midtown right now, too. 2.1x Bad time to have issues. It's been raining like hell here south of the city and it's moving into Houston.

I remember when we used to get two TV channels on a good day and having to go outside to turn the antenna while my Dad yelled instructions through the window.

These days, some part of the internet goes down for five minutes and people piss their pants like it's the freaking zombie apocalypse.

Good thing you put that in all caps or we might have missed it.

Anyway, some funny stuff here:

I think that one in the ocean was some radioactive waste washing in from Japan.

(Silly forum still won't let me quote a link in a reply. UBERPEOPLE.NET SUCKS! )

When we finally got a phone it was that. Had to be careful what you said. We had a nosy neighbor who would like to listen in. The way ours worked was you would pick up the phone and just ask them to let you use it. But she would pick up and just listen and hope you didn't notice.

No VCR, no cable, 3 TV channels, (one only on half the day)-- (on a black and white TV with one remote--me!), no microwave, no calculators.

How did we survive?

No DVR, had Sears Catalog instead of Amazon, a hot car did 0-60 in 7.0 seconds. Jarts.

Remember when McDonald's signs would only say something like 7 million served?

I think one of the drivers got exposed to that.

I so want to put that in my car. It's my kind of sense of humor.

I want to know who owns the Prius that's always hogging the charging station at the Whole Foods at Kirby and Bellaire.
