Judging from the debris on the street in front of my building, one of my neighbors finally decided to throw out their 5 1/4" floppy disks. It's about time. Maybe I should do the same next time I'm down in my old room at the 'rents' house.
And that reminds me... Remember how hard it used to be for kids to get porn? It was not an easy battle to convince my mom to buy me Leisure Suit Larry III (Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals), which sucked, but did allow me to occasionally see extremely low resolution, 16 color, cartoon breasts. And we thought it was the greatest thing ever. The extremes to which the 13 year old boys in my neighborhood went to obtain porn caused us to develop a resourcefulness that would probably impress veteran CIA officers.
That is why kids today are so obese. Pretty much the only thing that motivates teenage boys to expend effort is now available at the click of a mouse. It's not the food pyramid or McDonalds to blame. We ate fast food and coco-puffs all the time when we were kids. Free and easily available porn is the culprit! Not that it's possible or even desirable, but I bet if you were to get rid of all porn on the Internet, teenage boys all over the country would return to lean, hungry, porn finding machines.
Now you might be thinking that this is a load of crap, because obesity is also a problem for girls, lesbian toddlers, and blind children. The nice thing about blogs, especially blogs that nobody reads, is that the stuff you write doesn't have to be backed up by proof or even be true. In that respect, they're a lot like CBS news.
Can anyone put nine 5 1/4" Leisure Suit Larry floppy disks onto a CD-ROM for me?
