I still use 'the internets' whenever referencing the internet in written conversation with friends.

But, similar to 'Lambet Field', I still say 'Beaver and Buffcoat', and the benny hill soundtrack on the ytnmd page above made me piss my pants, so I'm not the best judge of humor outside of the 'outdated' and 'simple-minded' genres.

Also, PAK CHOOIE UNF.

I still use it occasionally when I'm in debates...

It's not your fault. I'm often too literal. Another side-effect of being a dork.

I don't care about this thread anymore, but can we just GIVE Kristin 500 posts to help her get rid of that horrendous title?

My parents still have a Prodigy e-mail address... :o

I use the term "Internets" very rarely, and for some reason only in spoken form. I don't think I've ever used on a forum...

No, she should be there permanently. It makes Jeebs sleep better at night.

I'll second the motion. Kudos to Ben for trying to shake it up, but the shaving user title is an abomination. I couldn't care less about my user title -- normally -- but I almost feel like getting drunk one night and posting a Tic-Tac-Toe dynasty just to get away from the title.

Ditto.. me and my closest group of friends probably haven't used the term "internet" with each other in 3 years... it's all about the interweb... although sadly, i'm not 100% sure where we got it from...

But it's not fair! The chicken gets to play every day!

Are you guys talking about the intertron?

Huh, just noticed Quiksand doesn't have a title.
