Overheard at an airport within the last seven calendar days. Cletus and Earl are not their given names, mostly because I don’t know the real ones.<\/p>\n
Cletus<\/b>: Dude, you’ve gotta check this new, uh, internet thing out.
\nEarl<\/b>: What is it?
\nCletus<\/b>: Fox-something, and it’s awesome.
\nEarl<\/b>: Better than what I got?
\nCletus<\/b>: Oh yeah. Hell yeah. Let me show you.
\nEarl<\/b>: How’s that?
\nCletus<\/b>: Well, it’s like a zillion times faster, for one, but then it’s also got these things…
\nEarl<\/b>: Wait, what did you just do?
\nCletus<\/b>: It’s like another internet thing, within the original internet thing.
\nEarl<\/b>: Wow.
\nCletus<\/b>: Yeah, all on one page, see?
\nEarl<\/b>: Yeah.
\nCletus<\/b>: And it’s still a zillion times faster, and it’s free.
\nEarl<\/b>: You’re shitting me.
\nCletus<\/b>: Nope. Click the little house button, you can get there.
\nEarl<\/b>: Wow.
\nCletus<\/b>: Yeah. <\/p>\n
Airports are perhaps more helpful than any other single venue for reminding me of what an echo chamber I live in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
