Bathroom Monologue: New Rule for the Game

“Some day in the future we are all going to have microprocessors in our heads that record everything we say and do. We’re going to pay for the privilege because it’s going to do all sorts of radical stuff, like auto-friend hot girls you pass on the street and get you the best discounts on the music you just heard. It’s going to do something else, too. It’s going to log everything you say, so that when you use 'qoph' in Scrabble, I can check if you’ve spoken it in the last five years, and if you haven’t, you lose those fucking points because there’s no God damned way that counts.”

  1. You forgot about the danger of being hacked... heh :P

    Hey, an off topic question. What's with that weird link I see in many blogs? Odd...

  4. Your post is linked to a blog with this name:

    " I Used To Say That, Didn't I?: YOU WOULD SAY THAT, WOULDN'T YOU ..."

    But when you click in the link, there's just a general blog, not a post mentioning yours. I saw this in many blogs I visit, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

  5. That's a link to Paul Brazill's blog. He has an ungodly long blog roll and added me to it a few years ago. I don't think he actually reads my blog anymore, but the tag pops up because it technically links to every post he makes, with the roll specifically showing up under each post. I think I'm 30 or 40 items down.

  6. Ah, got it. I found it strange because usually specific posts are linked to other posts. But if Brazil's blog is different.. okay then.

    I've been curious about this for a while now. Thanks for the info, John, and sorry if I scared you with this. Hadn't thought about the impact of my question before. *head desk*

  7. How would it scare me? I hope I haven't unwittingly tripped some great internet taboo...

  8. No, no, weird links could lead to dangerous sites. But since you've explained me this specific link, there's no weirdness or danger at all here. You're ok. I'm the neurotic here, lol. :P
