Yahoo Turns 10
And we're totally cool with that
Sure, we all stopped using Yahoo a while back, but we're not mad. It's cool. We don't hold the same resentment we did when we left Hotmail 5 years ago, declaring Yahoo the new black. It was an amicable split and we're totally comfortable wishing Yahoo well on it's birthday. Seriously!
Just the other day we were out with friends and ended up in the same bar as Yahoo:
Yahoo "Hey stranger."
Us "Oh! Hey, Yahoo. How... have you been?"
Y "I'm doing all right. You know how it is."
U "Yeah, well... you look good. Happy."
Y "I am, I really am. These last years have been really good for me."
U "Me too. Yeah. Well, I should get back to my friends"
Y "It was really good to see you."
U "You too, Yahoo. Take care."
See? Totally comfortable. No sweat. Thank god Gmail wasn't with us, that night!

Though I may be tappin' some gmail ass these days, I'll never stop making Yahoo booty calls. Not until gmail starts to satisfy my lust for fantasy sports. Then and only then will I become a one email guy.

I ran into Yahoo one night and I was all "Hey! I was gonna call you the other day." and Yahoo was all "Well you didn't, did you?" and I was all "Well, it was late" and Yahoo was all "I'm up all the time. You know that. You don't write, you don't visit" and I was all "yeah well I've been busy" and Yahoo was all "I'm sure."
It was really uncomfortable actually.

come to think of it...Yahoo was pretty drunk at the time. You know how vodka and crans can be...Guess it's cool.

We all have those nights. Heck, I remember back in school when Geocities showed up at my door at like 3am, drunk as all get out. I had to call the cops. Fucker woke up poor old Mr. Prodigy down the street. Probably gave him a heart attack.

Compuserve leaves like 8 messages a day on my machine. "You used to be happy with 2400 baud!" Over and over again. I'm calling the cops.
