The pitfalls of simultaneous use of digital media

Social media's great. I love getting on there -- exchanging ideas, talking with friends.

Same goes for the modern day DVR -- love it. Like most of us, because I'm so busy, I'd say it must be at least half the ball games I watch I do so using the tape delay -- I'm usually anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours behind the live action.

The problem is, the two don't mix, do they? I mean, I'm sure it's happened to you. You're watching this great game (on delay) and without thinking you hop on Facebook and some asshole "friend" of yours has just posted, "Wow! Great victory for [INSERT TEAM NAME HERE]! We're going to the Super Bowl this year!"

Fuck! Now what am I going to do with my evening -- actually interact with my family?!

Viagra Lady

Day 1: Did you see the Viagra Lady on TV? I really like her.
Day 2: I think I might have an unhealthy obsession with the Viagra Lady.
Day 3: I know this might sound weird but I think the Viagra Lady is talking to me specifically in those ads.
Day 4: I'm in love with the Viagra Lady and she's in love with me too -- and we don't care what people think.
Day 5: Viagra Lady, why did you dis me in the ad last night? I will not be ignored!!
Day 6: Viagra Lady, my doctor says it's not really your fault, what I think you're doing to me.
Day 7: This new medicine is really making me sleepy.
Day 8: Viagra Lady, do you have a sister?

Bill Bixby and Yahweh

Question: What does Dr. David Banner as played by Bill Bixby on the TV show The Incredible Hulk have in common with the God of the Old Testament?

Answer: They both have the same catch-phrase: "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
