It saddens me to know that the phrase "Please Be Kind, Rewind" will die with my generation.

I rented a DVD from my local video store not long ago...I opened the box and to my surprise found a sticker inside reading, "Be Kind. Please Rewind." It made my day.

-Earlier this year I got a Facebook friend request from my former pledgemaster, who had just signed up for the site. My first instinct was to shout, “Sir yes sir!” and accept him immediately. I guess old habits die hard. Later, I realized that his request was odd not because the last time we had a meaningful conversation I was standing in a bucket of puke, but rather because he’s over three years older than me. In the scheme of the Internet, we grew up in two completely different eras. Those of us in our teens and twenties can’t even remember a time when the web wasn’t completely ingrained in our daily lives. We are Generation LOL. My thirtysomething pledgemaster, on the other hand, is firmly in Generation X and, as I recall, also kind of a dick.
-I often overreact when a site tells me to do something, as opposed to asking nicely. Recently I loaded a web page that said, “You need to upgrade your Flash Player.” Who the fuck do you think you are? I’ll do what I damn well please.
-Lately, there’s been a void in my life: not enough spam. I’ve been dreaming of ways that I can receive spam not just in my email, but also posted directly to my online profiles and sent to the inboxes of my social networking accounts. But thanks to you, Facebook, my prayers have been answered.
-Instead of smoking a cigarette after sex, I check my BlackBerry. It doesn’t smell bad, it won’t cause cancer, but it has the same soothing effect.
