I sort of have it now. As some of you may know by now, my 6+ year old DSL modem died. I can cadge onto a neighbor’s unsecured wireless network, using my laptop, but only in one room of the house is the signal good enough to hold a connection. A replacement modem is on its way, but until then, this sucks.
Please, folks, if there’s any Nitwit nonsense over the next day or two, keep a record of it. I might not be able to do so.
How’s this for Epic Nitwittery?
What were they thinking? Or, more to the point . . . were they thinking?
As I said on someone’s Twitter, they took the Suck-Aid they didn’t drink and distilled it into weapons-grade stupid.
I liked one person’s comment to the effect of trying to come up with a trendy name for syphilis.
Now THAT is a ridiculous name change…a shame as that’s one of my favorite channels. They better keep the crappy movie Saturdays anyway. I love making fun of how bad they are.
They’d better keep their New Year’s Eve/Day Twilight Zone marathons.
Yes, cos science fiction that’s less geeky always works.
Fuck heads.
Wonder how that will affect the scifi channel over here. Not sure if they are connected at all.
We have a channel over here called Dave. I thought that was cool, until I found Dave’s Plus One channel, where you see the shows an hour later.
Daveja vu.
But hey you’re still doing better on getting connected than Nicky! He can’t even figure out how to hook up his computer for wireless!
I saw that over on myextralife.com, my one stop geek place. Absolutely ridiculous.
They must be aspiring to be Spike TV’s little sister, I think.
A terrible, terrible name, although I can understand why they’re doing the change: they want to copyright and own it.
Dumbstain bumped his pseudo-compilation on Shocklines… again.
Whore!
I made a snarky comment on that thread, let’s see if Matt deletes it.
Yes, I saw that. It was his fourth bump in a row. It was funny enough to warrant a new entry on this blog. I would have had it up sooner, but my neighbor’s wireless connection disconnected me, and I had to wait for a few minutes before my machine reconnected.
