I had to fill out a profile on a website the other day.
I filled out the username and a password. They asked me a couple security questions as well. “What is your mother’s maiden name?” and “What city did you lose your virginity in?”
Then they needed my address and finally my birthday.
It took me a good ninety seconds to scroll all the way through to 1966.
And why are these always scrolls? Why can’t you just type in 1 9 6 6?
I can only imagine my Oldman flipping his lid if he had to scroll back to 1935!
“You gotta be shitting me with this? Who designed this kind of monkey crap?”
Don’t ask me why “monkey crap” stood for something really stupid. I guess that was a term that guys used who had to scroll down to 1 9 3 5.
The good news is that I will receive twelve record albums for a penny. I am really excited that Columbia House has a website. It is much easier than mailing in those flyers. I was also relieved that they didn’t have any files on me from the past.
I still owe them from 1982 when I jagged them on this same deal.
I beat the crap out of that Grandmaster Flash cassette. I can still hear my mom asking me how I got all of these audio cassettes.
My mom was receiving past due notices from Columbia House until the late nineties.
God bless her soul……..
Alright…. It may be Monday, but it’s going to be gorgeous.
Go find astonishing stuff
