Confessions of an MSN masochist

Paul Messmer writes: It’s true. I use MSN, but just Hotmail. I was silly and chose it, because AOL had a bad rep among certain friends of mine and I figured it’d be an email address that would stay around forever, unlike my old netcom email address that Earthlink decided I couldn’t keep even if I kept paying them. </ p>
As a side “benefit,” I get taken to the MSN homepage everytime I log out of hotmail of course. A quick scan of it every once in a while keeps me in touch with the Jerry Springer/Oprah banal side of life, you know. How can you not love that?
As my eyes flitted down the page today, I came across the the most brilliant idea i’d ever seen: Suggested Searches! My God, what an epiphany. Like a bolt of lightning from the blue, I suddenly shared the vision for what I should do when my vapid existence offers nothing more of interest, and I have exhausted other ways to squander my time surfing.
Nothing could be better than to search for things that other people were interested in yet don’t mean diddly squat to me. And not even things with any edifying value whatsoever, mind you. I’m totally stoked, for this is true genius. Watch out Google!
Well, gotta run. Need see what kind of hits I get for “gastric bypass.” Hubba hubba where do I want to go today?
