On "Omegle"

I highly recommend the website Omegle if you want to talk to strangers when your bored and lonely.

Sometimes you find creepy people. Sometimes you find true philosophers. Sometimes you find 'bots'. But all the time, you find entertainment!

Here's some fun examples!

Conversation #1
Me: Hi!

Stranger: im man looking for a ciber sex on msn.. do you want?
Me: I should warn you... I'm the same gender as you.
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

Conversation #2

Stranger: FRANCE, I HEARD YOU WERE TOUCHING MY SISTER, YOU BASTARD. I'LL SHOOT YOU, I SWEAR.
Me: I'm Canada!
Stranger: CANADA
Me: That's me!
Me: Wait... YOU ARE FRANCE!
Stranger: I AM NOT
Me: What were you doing touching your sister?
Stranger: I-I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF

Conversation #3
Stranger: boob ass wiener
Me: I know you are, but what am I?
Stranger: in the closet?

Conversation #4
Stranger: Hi!
Me: hello
Stranger: With just "hello" you've started out as the first normal conversationalist I've had...
Stranger: most people either swear at me or try to cyber...
Me: me too
Stranger: and therefore, you're boring... Goodbye!
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

...

Upon further reflection, Omegle is a waste of time, full of perverts and spam-bots.

Honestly, I'm ashamed to admit I tried it.

Best president ever

I was all set to post something relatively insightful today. Really, I was. I even had a pull quote.

But rampant discrimination in journalism will have to wait. Instead, I've found one of those things that makes you love the Internet.

Barack Obama - in case you don't keep up with the news, the new President of the United States, that big country to the south from where we get all our guns and fast-food chains - wrote an autobiography a few years back.

That in itself is not particularly interesting. What is noteworthy is that the autobiography includes quotes from an old friend of Barack's, a man who had, shall we say, less than Presidential language.

So what?

Well, this autobiography also happens to come in an audiobook format. Read by its author. Which means we get audio clips of Barack Obama saying things like "You ain't my bitch, nigga! Get your own damn fries!".

Here you go. Don't say I never give you anything.
