Me in 10 years
I'm in a class right now, Literature of Adolescence. Or Literature for Adolescents. Not sure. Anyway, the teacher is this nice old guy. Something like 65 years old. A "Wilford Brimley" lookalike, which he pointed out that someone said about him on his RateMyProfessors.com ratings page.
Anyway, he was talking about this article that appeared recently in the local paper that talked about Palm Beach County teachers having "questionable material" on social networking sites. He stumbled when it came to giving an example of these sites: "Face... erh.. space.. um, you know, MyFace." Of course, the class erupted into laughter and people began shouting, "MySpace!" and "Facebook!"
In reaction to this outcry, he immediately corrected himself: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I meant Spacebook." And he wasn't kidding. ¶ 8:06 PM
