That doesn't make it any better


Ran across this list of 24 Things that Are About to become extinct.

24. Yellow Pages | Only good for making stacks of giant, yellow, untouched pages of newsprint.
23. Classified Ads | Maybe those traditional classified ads should consider installing a 'Casual Encounters' section.
22. Movie Rental Stores | Expensive and far away!
21. Dial-up Internet Access | Jeez. dial up is soooooo 1998.
20. Phone Landlines | Not true. Time Warner will totally try to trick you into getting the triple play deal.
19. Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs | They are blaming this on overfishing, pollution, invasive species and global warming. I am blaming it on the rising popularity of competitive eating sports.
18. VCRs | Ugh, and i JUST bought me a 42" Plasma tv/VCR combo.
17. Ash Trees | Ha!
16. Ham Radio | MMMmmm. Ham....

13. Cameras That Use Film
12. Incandescent Bulbs
11. Stand-Alone Bowling Alleys | Disco Bowling Night. Problem solved.
10. The Milkman | Sorry Milkman, you might as well be a family farm owner.
9. Hand-Written Letters | These aren't going away unless inmates have word processors and printers now.
8. Wild Horses | Oh no! We used to go camping at this placed called Assateague (..i know) Park when I was younger and they were chock full of wild horses. From here on out, i shall devote my time into wild horse sanctuaries.
7. Personal Checks | Checks will still be around so long as my landlord doesn't start direct depositing my rent out of my account.
6. Drive-in Theaters | I would still LOVE to see a movie in a drive in. someone take me. please.
5. Mumps & Measles | Now replaced with gonorrhea and the clap. Sick.
4. Honey Bees | Hopfully the only ones going away are those murderous Africanized ones.
