Remember the good old days? When you could go to a bar and get in an argument about some random sports-related fact and not actually settle the fight until someone got home and looked it up on the Internet? You could yell at your friends for hours, screaming about how much Charles Barkley weighed coming out of college or what number Doug Flutie wore in the CFL without having to worry about being proven wrong that night. It was a great feeling. You could say outlandish things like:
"I believe Vinny 'The Microwave" Johnson led the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio in 1986."
and while your friends could argue with you, no one could prove you wrong. Good times.
Not anymore. With the advancement of cell phones and/or the frequency of laptops being at the bar increasing tenfold since someone got there very own Macbook, all the answers are now a few clicks away. Arguments are over before they even get started. Screaming matches turn to Google searches and we all die a little inside. Sad.
That being said, I thought I'd just take you through the arguments we had last night at the bar as the Google searches that ended them. No explanation, just a list of what we looked up to settle an argument of some sort. If it appears like we were either a) drunk or b) talking about random topics with no segue, well...I guess both are probably true. Sad thing is, these "arguments" came one after another without pauses for nearly 2 solid hours. Needless to say the Illini-MSU game was not holding our interest. Enjoy.

The last one is I believe what is keeping Noah Lowry from pitching at the moment (and the front runner for my fantasy baseball team name) in case you cared.
And yes, I am in fact a tool.
Go Cubs.

Personly unless you are checking your fantasy score or checking work email. Laptops should not be in the bar. May once in a while look random stuff up. But to be googling all night. It was so boring watching you google.
ReplyDelete"Personly" I believe Jonathan thinks grammar and spelling are overrated.
