Gfail – heh.
“LOL, where were you during the #Gfail of 2009?”
Dang it, do have to Twitter now too? Someone might owe me lunch for snagging the best user name.
6:54 AM – Hey, it’s kinda fun to be part of the worldwide disaster of epic proportions!
7:45 AM – Seeing reports that things are coming back up in the USA, but not yet here in NNY.
