My God... I never knew it could feel so... Good. I actually let out a scream of joy!

I never knew what I was missing... I never knew how good it could feel!

I want to thank all the little people who made this possible... The Keebler Elves... Verne Troyer... Son of Kong...

Oh! Wait! Turn off the music! I'm not done! I love you mom and dad!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

3. I should have thanked you too, but I don't consider you a "little person."
Not as little as the Keebler Elves at least.

And 1933? I didn't know they had the Internets back then... It must have been an ACTUAL series of tubes. :P

4. It was a REAL web of strings and cans
you young folks take it all for granted now, let me tell ya.

We had a hood web before there ever was an internet web, and don't get me started on webcrawler and 300 baud modems (which were slow compared to our strings).

if I could remember where my cane was I would whoop ya with it :)

7. My God... There's so much I have to learn about the history of the Intertubes!
If I still knew what I library was, I'd try and check out a book... But Wikipedia is just as good!
