OK, get this; years ago, there used to be these things called “Bulletin Board Systems” that people ran and connected to via “modems” and these “BBS’s” used to contain all these things called “text files” and all these bulletin board users young and old* used to write “how-tos” on every topic under the sun**. There’s an awesome site dedicated to preserving these precious words of wisdom — check it out, you’ll be building a bong out of discarded pool toys in no time.

**but mostly topics that appealed to 12-year-old boys, like CREATING TOTAL ANARCHY IN YOUR HOMETOWN! and HOW TO BUY FIREWORKS FROM ADULTS! and, of course, LAUNCHING OVER THINGS!

I found myself shocked by not being interested in that website. Usually my taste is indistinguishable from a 12-yr-old boy’s except in matters of food or sex. For example, launching over it. Though experience has dulled my enthusiam for that slightly.

Don’t be fooled, Carrie really enjoys launching over it.

It’s true. You caught me. I care nothing for the pain.
