You know who else’s birthday is today?

« « Scale | Home | Bait » »

The Internet’s. On this day, forty years ago, Al Gore created it. In other news, I’m younger than the internet.

Oh man, you are a young ‘un Uncle! When I was born there were 48 states, no satellites in orbit, and no color TV. Dwight Eisenhower was POTUS, in his first term.

I think I was in my freshman year of High School when Al Bore suppossedly invented the internet.

Well – since I was born in Roosevelts first term, the internet is slightly more than half as old as I am.

And the two best pieces of aging advice I ever received were, first, “It does not matter how old you get the same tired face will look back at you when you shave.”

The second, substituting a name that will be more familiar than the original, was “The Lord did not intend for men to retire. Men who retire generally go home and keel over like Bear Bryant.”

I have found both pieces of advice to be true.

But you have the advantage that you didn’t come out of Al Gore’s vagina.

I was born in the last year of the Reagan administration.

So Uncle was more than likely out of high school when I was born.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
