"Texting BFF" and "Bigfoot Update"

Some people get it, and some people just don't want to get it: Texting for your support. This upcoming weekend is supposed to be filled with surprises in the world of politics. As November inches closer by the day, supporters on both sides of the political fence are waiting to finally see the selected running mates of McCain and Obama. We may know the answers to these questions as early as Friday, when Borack Obama is expected to do a campaign "first": Texting his supporters with his choice for a Vice President. The thing is, you have to be a registered Democrat and Obama supporter, and you have to find the Senator's MySpace page and have him add you to the list of his millions of friends. Hey Senator, thanks for the add and don't text me again! There's a lot of potential problems that go along with this idea. All these things sent out at once could cripple the system and shut down your provider however, the worse case scenario is that your personal information will be tied to Obama forever. That means that Sunday night you should be recieving a bundle of unwanted spam in your mailbox. Yes indeed, thanks again Obama! I don't have to worry about the possible fallout from this gimmick. I'm not registered for anything or any one political party and as a matter of fact, November can't come soon enough for me so this nonsense will finally end. Give a "Shout out" to Senator Obama for using texting in an otherwise boring campaign. He's an electronic wizard who appreciates all that Japan has given us which of course, puts him farther ahead of John McCain in that category.

McCain is computer illiterate and isn't gonna try and convince you any different. He knows enough of the basics to get by however, is more eager to pull out the old "Smith and Carona" and a stamp to send a message the old fashioned way rather than electronically. To be honest, McCain could care less about Blackberries and Apples. As far as he's concerned, these two are only good in pies. This could be a good thing for all of us. Remember how Matthew Broderick tried to fool everyone with computer know-how in Wargames? It's been said that Senator McCain's website has "Space Invaders" embedded in it so supporters can take a break and play. McCain says that's one of his favorites! It's been nearly 40 years since the game was created and the guy is just catching on! Imagine that! Nope. Keep this guy AWAY from all the computer mumbo jumbo. He doesn't understand it. It reminds me of when the Grandparents stopped by to visit one day in 1972 and saw "Pong" hooked up to the TV. The look of fright in their eyes will be with me forever. You would have thought aliens came from Mars and left the game behind by mistake. Gramps had to poke it with his cane to make sure it wouldn't explode.

Bigfoot was a big hoax! Of course we all knew that already, didn't we? Well, it's official now. The two pranksters laughed and laughed for "Punk'ng" us and just like the MTV show itself, it backfired. As it turned out, one of the gents involved in the fun had a rather prestigious job with the local police department and also convinced a couple of faux "medical experts" to spin this yarn. As a result, all are under review at their jobs and may be fired. Does it really take someone time to review a person's stupidity? None of their "concrete evidence" ever appeared until the end when the slab of ice was melted down and a gorilla suit was frozen on the inside. Try a little bit harder next time fellas!
