Sometimes I love the internet

It's very good for looking up information where I just got the wrong end of the stick.

My interaction with live People is so limited, I misunderstand common words and phrases to the point of embarrassment.

Today I discovered what "Tupperware parties" meant.  Previously I thought it was housewives modelling sexy underwear.

  • Had my own random ‘internet will solve in thirty seconds’ thing come up this morning. It’s a very silly one. I was listening to an MST3K riff track as I was doing some routine task stuff for work, and one of the characters sang a snippet of an old song: ‘the music goes round and round and it comes out here’. My brain immediately jumps back to an old Weetos advert from 1992 that had a similar lyric and I realised that it wasn’t an original composition but rather an adjusted version of something from the Thirties. Sure enough, a quick check of Youtube provided both for a side by side comparison. What an exciting life I lead!
