Original Roadkill on the Infobahn Site?
NO!
That would probably be the
Obsolete
Computer Museum.
However, I, apparently about the same time as about
a dozen other people at key points in the Space-Time Continuum,
came up with the idea of ``Roadkill on the Information
Superhighway''. In fact, a marketeer at my former day
job (PSW Technologies)
overheard the jokes, and started a campaign with this theme.
Unfortunately, before I could come up with any really funny
ideas worthy of that brain storm, about a zillion other people
all took off with it - some funny, some bland - and it was trite
before anyone finished laughing at the first use they saw.
Or Just Grungy Virtual Blacktop?
However, to the best of my knowledge, none of them was ever sued
(or under threat of such) from Toys-R-Us, so
it all comes full circle as I contemplate becoming the first
courtroom roadkill on the infobahn.
But at least I will go under state-mandated speed limits instead of a
federal one!
So Are You the Man in Black?
No, that's Johnny Cash
or Kosher of One Bad Pig.
I only look this way at midnight lying on a highway.
