Foo - So what would you guys do if the internet turned off?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Saw this on Slashdot, and figured that this would be a perfect place to carry the discussion.

So discuss.

I'd go into immediate weather radar withdrawal.
Then I'd go ride my bike.

Wouldn't have to waste my time going through all of those stupid forwarded emails from my wife.

But also means that I would have to actually call tech support at work and listen to someone with a Far Eastern accent ask me the same question over and over. Gimme someone from Tiajuana over Ismokecrackistan any day.

internetless... wao.. I've been online since the the BBSes at 2400 bauds... I guess I will:

1) resort to adult shops for movies

2) visit questionable bars for social interaction

3) Ride the bike a lot more

Also, are you strong enough to hold it down if it tries to bounce?

You should just give me your credit card number, it would be easier. And, for completely unrelated reasons, your birthday. That's what a real friend would do.

If the divulgence of my credit card involves nudity then it's 4828 5234 3479 4896. Visa. Expires 12/2015. Code on the back 548. For my birthday of course.

In that case, I'm going to Kiu's house to play on her PS3. Alternately...I would make a trip to Colorado. :thumb:
