Internet
Part Deux
As some of you may know my internet connection
bit the proverbial Big One Monday night and the first technician
to arrive on
the scene the next day gave
it the once-over, shrugged and said, essentially, "At
the stroke of Noon tomorrow the ghost of Internet Present will arrive
and show you all the online porn you've been missing."
Or... something to that effect.
The repairman who arrived today to usher me into the land
of fiber-optic transmission was a large, jovial dude who,
happily, shared
just about
all of my liberal bents. Which was quite unexpected of a
corporate minion.
As holes were drilled and cable was strung
we had a great time
trashing
Trump and
pondering
the eternal mystery
of why
Conservative
voters are such mindless, self-abusive cockwaffles.
Upshot: Two hours later I went from 19Mbps download speed
to 170Mbps. Which
would be amazing if I could tell any practical difference
but, so far, six hours later, I can't. Which only reaffirms
my unimpressed opinion on the marketing of faster connection
speeds and the considerably higher prices charged by the
service
providers
therewith.
--------------
I posted today's 'toon around the WWWs this afternoon and
it was hard to miss the fact that many people aren't yet
hip
to
"meatball
Ron" or "puddin' fingers Ron" memes. I'll
guess I'll just say that it's funny to ME and leave it at
that.
Addendum: On the very day I post my first Ron DeSatanist
'toon he makes his big presidential announcement and promptly
bumbles the event, to no one's real surprise.
