The Shallow End of the Pool

The internet is truly a wonderful thing. A recent example: I was bored a few weeks ago so I started messing around on MySpace, just doing searches for friends of mine that I lost touch with over the years (you can see my page at myspace.com/strutter71). Lo and behold, I actually found not one but two friends that I used to work with...both of them from England, no less! It's really remarkable when you think about it. Just a few short years ago those friends would have been lost forever. In addition, one of them remembered what a fondness I have for really warped British humor and recommended a show called "The Mighty Boosh." After some research, I discovered that although "Boosh" has aired over here on BBC America, the DVDs are not available on this side of the world. But once again, the mighty internet came through; I was able to download the entire series (never you mind how) and have thus far enjoyed it immensely. Really really funny stuff.

So let's hear it for the World Wide Web, and a big shout out to my mates Dal and Pitcher across the pond. Cheers!
