We can just hope that the MIB has a great webtech that can hack images off of the web.

[Wyvern]

Erase embarrassing youtube uploads? Nope. Try for plausible technology, like time travel or spinning straw into gold

....Aaaaand, the reason she is running is to give it enough time to upload. To a page. A password protected page. Not that she INTENDS to use the video for blackmail purposes. It's just, you know, for just in case.

So... I guess I don't need to post a link to Yakety Sax, do I?

[Skruddgemire]

Oh, I wouldn't worry, Atsali. It's not like every schoolkid in Minnesota is stuck at home on a Monday just surfing for funny videos.

What are the odds.

Really? I was in Minneapolis for 4 years when I was a teenager (85-89) and I remember prodigious snow storms that would have crippled other cities (Maryland's 2008 "Snowpocalypse" was nothing compared to the three-times a year storms we used to get), and standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus in -70 windchills.

And they're closing for -20?

Man they wussed out on me. Seriously, in 4 winters they closed school for one day when it was falling at a rate of a foot an hour for 8 solid hours and the plows could not keep up.

BAHAHAHA! And this is why I'm glad I'm an only child. I occasionally think it would be nice to have a sibling...and then I see the fighting and rivalry stuffs and remember how nice it was to not have to share that much growing up.

Thanks to all the "Tec Savvy" folks for today's links .

I had brothers. I'm just glad that iphones didn't exist back in the 80s... and early 90s...

[Catawampus]

now, how was Castela's sentence

"My-my friend Dayalla was telling me 'bout ..... "

going to end?

..... how to record video on a phone?

or

..... how to record video on a phone and update live to the web?

". . .how to make replicants programmed to mimic the behaviours of their originals"?

Instead we'll probably just end up with video cameras that can be programmed to see back in time and record events from the past. . .

Heh! The Atsali Boogie Down video becomes an Internet meme in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Yep. The thing goes viral because of the bodacious ta-tas and Atsali's Siren-ness. In so doing, males all across the world go into a trance and try desperately to get to Atsali. Who knows, maybe females too, at least some. Paul is great at modifying myths, after all. At the least, wives and girl friends do try to get to Atsali as well, but to kill her hoping to break the spell. "Cleanup on aisle ... Everywhere!"

It's so cold in the Twin Cities today that people are scraping ice off both sides of their windshields.

Same deal up here north of the 49th. In all the years I spent going to school it was only ever cancelled once (for 2 days) due to the blizzard of '97 that shut down the whole city. I'm not aware of school ever having been cancelled, in the city, since then either. Buses get cancelled all the time when the windchill goes below -40 (something about the school divisions not wanting to have kids waiting outside in case a bus breaks down in weather where frostbite occurs in under 10 minutes) but I always had to walk (both ways, up hill, ect) to school so that never affected me.

Or this one...

And there's this site, which will dub any YouTube video with that soundtrack... really neat results!

That's a good one! I've already bookmarked it, and tried it out with a Super Sentai promo ad.

If Castela doesn't relinquish the phone pretty quickly, she's gonna be assaulted pickle...

You're right, that IS funny!

[scantrontb]

nah!... what's gonna happen is that Atsali is finally going to catch Pickle in a flying leap, and while grabbing for the phone, when Katherine comes in/around the corner (whatever) and we get a repeat of this page... do this enough times she'll start to wonder if she made a mistake adopting Atsali in the first place, for beating up on her younger sister all the time...

huh, another thought... maybe THAT'S why Pickle got "thrown away"... she kept on instigating stuff like this and her parents couldn't hack it, so they put her up for adoption (let OTHER people take care of the little miscreant) and we've been misinterpreting the term "thrown away" all this time.
