discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[ccxvidonaferens]

Ah yes, sitting through the tortured wailings of an epileptic dolphin only to patiently wait for rotten dot com to load, not knowing whether you'd be rewarded with Chantilla the nun or, as was more often than not, human roadkill.

God, whatever happened to rotten dot com. I haven't thought about that place for about the last 20 years.

You know what. Following on from my 'Damn I feel old' statement above, I just want to ask a question here.

Who else here remembers the days when the internet was new and innocent, before it became a mess of advertising and monetisation?
Ahh simpler times. If only it could still be like it was then but with modern connection speeds.

New, sure but innocent? Nah, internet was never innocent, it wasn't about getting rich but it was about getting something.

Just hearing it again still makes me anxious and irritated. Having to switch it on and off, resetting it when stuff once again didn't work.
I'm almost getting a panic attack.

And going online without my parents noticing?

i still got some dial up modem if you want it, would require some digging up, but was brand new at the time.

I hope it's been boxed up and forgotten about in one of those Indiana Jones warehouses...

I'd rather listen to chalk scratching across a black board than have anything to do with that horrendous torture device.

But if I ever have an enemy I hate more than should be humanly possible, I'll get back to your offer.

It's inside the fridge, Indiana Jones and the dial up modem will be the only ones surviving a nuclear apocalypse.

Well, that's good to hear, not that you were in a car accident, but about you getting mobility back!
I hope you get a speedy recovery!

True. Maybe I should have said egalitarian. You're right it was never innocent.

As an example watch the following from the 26min 20sec mark. Or 23min mark if you want the full set up.

That's what they all say, before the lawsuits are coming and the alimony payment demands arrive.

Well, we even turned IA into a naked bottoms production line.
Also Steven Moffat is a talented writer.

That we have. That we have, and so the cycle continues.

And I should also say that in my opinion that whole series is worth a watch. It got unfairly maligned as a rip off of Friends due to the three girls, three guys set up but in some ways I think it is a stronger show. Not necessarily better as that's an individual choice but different enough to be judged on it's own merits as opposed to in comparison.

 

[mlpatreon2]

Off for the time. See you possibly tomorrow, hopefully maybe.
