i miss the days when you could ask a question or say, "i don't know" to somebody else's and someone didn't immediately send you a link answering it.
i miss the speculation surrounding a question: "well, it could be because of...." or "maybe (this) or maybe (that)," and my favorite - "huh. i don't know."
nobody doesn't know anymore. used to be, someone would say, "is it really true that a bunch of catholic priests tried to figure out once how many angels you can fit on top of a pin," and somebody else would say, "whaaaaat????" and a third person would say, "yeah......that sorta sounds familiar. i think it was the pope, though. i think some pope somewhere along the line tried to figure that out," and the next guy says, "it was the cardinals. the college of cardinals or whatever they call it..........why do they call themselves cardinals, anyway?"
you used to be able to have a conversation like that and nobody had the final answer. y'all just shrugged, said, "oh, well," and went out and had a burger and fries.
nowadays, though, nothing's left to the imagination. nothing's left to discuss. ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom, here's your digital answer.
i hate that.
wonder how a burger and fries came to be such a popular combination in the u.s.?
wonder how many of 'em you could fit on a pin?
