I seem to have gotten on fine without a Facebook.

Perhaps I'll make one for one of my Sims, who is in some bizzare world of Harry Potter meets Dynasty.

I'm pretty sure the internet was already fucked before FB.

At least September finally ended.

I remember the outrage at the first spam. Two shyster lawyers from Back East rolled into town one day, put up their shingle - "Canter & Siegel", that was their names - and papered Main Street with their dad-gum flyers about green cards. We strung 'em up right quick, of course, but more followed...

So that's why my home page is an apocalyptic wasteland.

Just like Magic the Gathering did for Role Playing Games (the real kind, not those fake computery kind you kids keep yammering about).

Why, back in my day, if you encountered a troll you reached for your dice, and you knew how many sides you needed!

Psh. Q-Link destroyed the Internet. Or was it Genie? No, no, it was Playnet. Those bastards.
