    Yeah still missing my meaning of what I'm talking about.
    This is what I am talking about, and think is strange. :p

    I think you missed the bit about there being a thing called sarcasm...

    I wonder if anyone here other than me me knows the significance of the phrase "eternal September"?

    I'm so old.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

    Returning to add that the current date is September 8725, 1993.

    Not me. o_O But, I was removed from normal life during the period just before, during and after. I was in the service, overseas. Europe, Berlin, road trips, sexy euro-dudes.... :)

    When I came home, the internet was still new, but already in swing.

    Nope, never heard of it, and I was technically around at the time, but I was like six or seven admittedly. Of course, a lot of my family was into it and we had at least a couple PC's at the time. Still, no one ever talked about such a thing...

    September 93 I was just starting at 9-1-1. Even if I'd heard of the internet at that point, I was mentally swamped for the next five months with training.

    Brings new meaning to this song.



    Not sure if the new meaning I give it is:
    -Let me sleep forever
    or
    -I'll come back when the chaos ends.

    I'm old, but I didn't get on the internet until 1995. I missed all that stuff. I was living in Victoria, BC taking refresher courses by correspondence.

    And the winner of the short descriptive writing prize goes to @Wreybies.

    Now go to your room and think about what you've done, and don't come out until you're ready to apologize.

    Cows have astonishingly long tongues. :ohno: You don't really realize it until they try to use it in a prehensile fashion. :whistle: :bigwink:

    Me giving mangos to the cows next door. :bigcool:

    It's a lovely picture, and I'm sure they're delightful cows, but that's just mean @Wreybies :supershock:

    They are delightful! :-D Except for #18 (they all have numbered tags on their ears). She's the one furthest to the left. She's a bully. :bigconfused: She will totally shove the other cows out of the way to get all the mangos. And the one all the way to right, the little one in the background, he's a little bull. He never comes close. He just stares at me like "You ain't foolin' me, fool!" :dry:

    I love cows in reality. Especially baby cows when they run and play, they're so freaking adorable. I'm surrounded by farms. I do prefer they keep their tongues to themselves though. :)

    TMW you are writing a scene with a sweet kiss, and you
    envision it like this despite the fact that you shouldn't. :supergrin:

    Nor do I. I was in grad school in the UK at the time, that's about when I bought my first computer (used), but my college didn't have Internet access. You had to go the University Computer Center for that.

    That makes it approximately the right timeline. The normal phenomenon of September, as opposed to Eternal September, happened when hordes of new freshmen got to college and started using their equivalent of the University Computer Center. In the case of my college career, usually on terminals, not PCs. It was faintly exciting that my dorm (well, dormish; it was really a seedy apartment building that the universy took over) had a few terminals in the basement! Computing in your pajamas! Woo!
