A Geek Moment, or Thank God for Google
August 29th, 2004Sunday night at Ted’s Montana Grill with a friend. Little Toy Robot is enjoying a salmon salad for dinner. Very pleasant. Olympic closing ceremonies are on the television above the bar.
Friend: “Oh, are the Olympics over tonight?”
Little Toy Robot: “Yeah.”
Friend: “Didn’t they start on a Friday night?”
LTR: “Yeah. But I’m pretty sure everything ends tonight.”
Friend: “But you haven’t been following the Olympics. How do you know?”
LTR (searching data banks): “Because of the logo on Google today. They’re waving goodbye.”

Yes, we’re keeping up with our current events courtesy of Google logos and The Daily Show. Ok, at least I am. ;)
Dude, you went to Ted’s and didn’t get buffalo?

I’ve had the buffalo before. Every time I think about it I’m ready to go vegetarian. :)

Really? I haven’t been to Ted’s yet but I feel compelled to try it out.
