Oh my gosh, seriously. An audio file is taking over the internet, going viral. An audio file. The last time an audio file was popular when back in the 1990’s when computers were first using them.
Last night my sister and I were educating my kids about VCR’s, the internet not existing when we were kids and other things. I bet until the stupid Yanny and Laurel thing, Millennials didn’t even know what an audio file was.
I’m just completly bamboozled that an audio file can go viral, but not one of my YouTube videos or blog posts can.
I officially declare both Laurel and Yanny to be dead, never to be talked about again.
If you need something new to talk about here are some Bitter Friday Giftures to distract you.
Clearly if you are thinking about audio files…
…your life is out of balance.
If you talk about this anymore…
…you’re fired.
Also, your life will start…
…getting ruff.
Unlike some dogs…
…motorcycles return to their masters.
And some dogs…
…are scared by their own reflections.
Let’s just take a leap…
…and stop horsing around.
A good way to lose friends…
…is to ask them to help you with your golf swing.
This kid is a future…
…tough mudder.
An easy way to keep your bouquet fresh…
…shred them through a fan.
Not sure why they call them…
…scaredy cats…
This girl was really sad…
…when Vine was discontinued.
This barrier…
… is me when I try to sneak out of a party.
Well, that is about it for me. Just like the stupid audio file, I’m done for the week. Just an FYI, I’ve been pondering doing a Q&A post, but I’m not sure if anyone will have good questions for me in general, or on specific posts. If you do, leave them in the comments. If I get enough questions for a post, I’ll do one. If I don’t we will all just forget I asked. Heaven forbid I get any help from other people. Bitter weekend all.
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I find the whole viral thing kind of maddening. First of all, something stupid like a sound shouldn’t go viral. The other one that drove me crazy was the Chewbacca lady. Like really, that is what makes you go viral?

I’m not sure why Seacrest was asking, but I’m guessing, because he needs more bitter in his life. Or maybe he just needs to deal with Kelly Ripa.
