So, it seemed like a good idea, at first. I'd be bored online, and somebody would put a link to something funny - and I'd watch it and appreciate the effortless way to get an easy laugh.
Then I started to think that I should be able to find my own laughs on YouTube. This is where the trouble began - no matter how I approach the damned thing I have to weed through dozens and dozens of stupid, pointless videos and don't even find something mildly amusing.
It doesn't help if you look for Most Discussed, or Most Linked, or Top Rated - there is simply no way to mine the good stuff from the junk.
Clearly, I am too old to appreciate this medium. 😕

Like all lazy bums, I want to sit back and be entertained, without making any effort.

I have no interest or time for youtube. Will my life be forever retarded because of that?
I don't have a cell phone either for that matter. Did get rid of the rotary for these shmancy pantsy push button phones...yes, the handset is attached by a cord. I'm thinking of getting away from that as soon as the one I got breaks down.
Geez, I edited just to spell shmancy correctly.

Originally posted by badmoonI'd stick with the corded phone. I have a cordless phone (in case I don't want to miss an important call while out in my hot tub), but they still haven't made them sound anywhere near as clean as the basic corded phone. I have way too many phones in my house ...

Originally posted by RookRAKWe're posh, we have a coal fired steam engine. There is a soot problem, but that pales into insignificance when you consider the valuable data I receive regarding candle making off the Internet.
I don't know about Jim, but I can only get the internet if the hamster runs fast enough ...

Doesn't sound right though.. like decafinated coffee, or skimmed milk or alcohol free beer or suger free sweetners or fat free butter..
...just doesn't seem right.
Appreciate the steam engine's soot while it lasts.
