Back in my day, we used 8k modems (bi-dong, bi-dong), Prodigy, and rectangular Nintendo controllers. But rumor has it that you young people are into something called "Facebook". And since we at Beyond the Box Score at least pretend to embrace technology and change, you can now follow BtB on this so-called book of faces.

8k?

ppfffftt…. in my day, only rich kids at 1200 baud (1.2K) modems. I had a 300 (.3K) that went with my C64

Modems?

My favorite thing is the rectangular controller. No round edges and 2 buttons with 4 directional keys.

Hell, I already have arthritis because Nintendo’s controllers were ergonomic enough. Sounds like a court case.

I just got back from your mom's basement.

I'm somehow both...

a child of technology (on my laptop, in front of a {turned off} plasma TV [military brand, very cheap], texting, and listening to MP3’s on iTunes) and someone that doesn’t have any sort of social network profile, short of SB Nation or AIM.

For those children who claimed they’ve been a fan of their favorite team all their life, or even since they were about four or five years old: bullshit. There’s always that certain event or certain player that draws to the sport and draws you to a team. For me, Nomar Garciaparra was that reason. - Nick Coviello: I Try To See Rocco, But All I Think Is Nomar; 1/9/09

Probably because you have better things to do (like talking about baseball!) than thumbing through people’s Facebook profiles all day to the point of borderline stalking while untagging pictures other people posted of your that you find unflattering.

Also, where do you get this military brand, every cheap plasma TV?!

AAFES.

Brand is Sabre. And your conclusion is probably right. Either that or go outside and exercise, or just get some fresh air and sun while thinking about the world.
