Music, movies, printing press… (plus the bed, but I’d already said that, you’ll think I’m obsessed.) (I am.)

Errrmmm.. I’d stick my iPod in instead of the ciggies but other than that, we are on the same wavelength, my friend!

Oh yes definitely on the printing press, Anne. 🙂 And I love my bed too—it’s a waveless waterbed. Ahhhhh….
IPOD! Of course, of course.. and I am quitting the ciggies. I swear. They are bad for me. 🙂
Pez? ROTFL. But we are in agreement re: the bread and the air conditioners…but pez? lol

Pez is one the greatest inventions of all time. I used to have this wonderful Yosemite Sam Pez head dispenser. I loved that thing.
Sliced bread sucks. Bread is only for tearing off in big hunks, preferably to wipe the blood running down your chin from eating bloody red meat.
Coffee bean grinders.

OK, fresh bread is good for tearing off in hunks.. but eww on the bloody red meat. Just, gag. HOWEVER, sliced bread is excellent for PB&J sandwiches. And it’s hard to toast giant hunks of bread evenly.
Coffee bean grinders—ah yes. Much better than the days of yore.. and a mortar and pestle.
You too with the Pez? Sheesh. Children. 😛

And if any of you are to young to remember Yosemite Sam, then y’all can just go fuck yourselves.

802.11b/g …. ? Um.. you had a bad day, huh?
Oh shut up Grampa—we all remember freakin’ Yosemite Sam. We’re younger than you, but we aren’t that young. 😛

The transistor has to be the greatest invention of the 20th century. Without it, so much would not be possible.
Then, of course, there are batteries. I-pods, cellphones, laptops and a host of other devices rely upon these to fuel our portable lives.
that’s all I can think of right now.

Transistor radio—definitely. Almost as crucial as batteries. Without those, like would be awfully boring.
Comment by the insider — September 11, 2005 @ 12:25 pm
Well, the transistor makes computers, televisions, microwaves, most electronic car parts, all digital electronics, damn near all electronics, possible. Without it, we’d still be living in the stone age.
Comment by Grampa — September 11, 2005 @ 12:32 pm
Oh well then the transistor should be on the top of every list.
The Stone Age doesn’t interest me.. 😛
