The Internet™ will be open on Christmas Day?

Wow, I thought it was just 7-11 and homeless shelters.

peck: The Internet™ will be open on Christmas Day?

Not in Canada it won't, freak. It's all socialized and stuff up there.

Someone told me that I need to get a converter box for my modem because the internet will be broadcasting on a different frequency, though? Anyone know where I can find one of those?

Pocket Ninja: Anyone know where I can find one of those?

Get one of these...


Then you can pick up all the internets.

I don't know about you but I'll be fightin' the MAN and logging into WoW after dinner tonight AND after gift-opening tomorrow.

I'll put a little sprig of mistletoe above my monitor and log on to Fark. That way, I'll have to kiss* users when their names appear on the screen.

*i.e. whack off to profile photos

This sounds like a spectacular idea and I shall do it tomorrow.

I'll twitter while I open my presents.

I will have to log on to wish you all a Merry Farking Christmas.

The wife's out of town so I'll probably play my favorite video games until 3 a.m. or so, then wake up tomorrow around noon and keep playing games.

DslainteC: *i.e. whack off to profile photos

I've got boobies in mine.

Tr0mBoNe: I'll twitter while I open my presents.

Fap?

This headline is misleading as it implies that I will have logged off at some point...

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

i've been known to read fark on my blackberry at family gatherings.

Fellows: The wife's out of town so I'll probably play my favorite video games until 3 a.m. or so, then wake up tomorrow around noon and keep playing games.

Dude, I'm with you. The wife is going to her parent's house in another state tonight without me because I have to work; I will be home alone from Xmas until Sunday.

I think I am going to do the aforementioned video gaming as well. And I'll probably do some experimenting on the home recording setup that I spent the last year building but not using. Three whole days - I think I might enjoy this. My Mom's place is only a 20-minute drive away, so I'm sure I'll squeeze in at least a little family time, at least.

And yeah, I'm sure I'll end up here, too.

burndtdan: i've been known to read fark on my blackberry at family gatherings.

That's the whole reason I bring my Blackberry to family gatherings.

Wish I could, driving out to my folks' tonight, then off to see the in-laws tomorrow. Gonna be a LOOOONG 2 days.

I'm working (at an ISP) on Christmas day. Ah well... I get two days off for it, and I am bringing my XBox, dammit.

Walgreens is open.

Why would you bang an XBox? What? Oh, sorry I read that wrong carry on.

Thank you. This made me laugh. I love good inappropriate humor.

Kinda hard to celebrate Christmas when your parents have decided to become Jewish...

I'll be on the interwebs tomorrow because I have no family in town to celebrate Christmas with.

/see you tomorrow!!

World of Warcraft gives double honor on holidays.
I spose that would be more useful if I actually did anything on the game besides fish and /dance

/tar Tauren
/dance

yep, alone I will be on the internet.

I'll likely be Farking and geeging all day in and out.

I have no idea what this article is talking about.

/After flying halfway across the country to be with the family...

Of course I'll be on the internets tomorrow.

The Doctor Who special isn't going to download all by itself, now is it?

peck: Get one of these...

Wow, that brings back memories. I had forgotten all about needing that.

superbeerchan: Of course I'll be on the internets tomorrow.

Amen, brother. Wallace and Grommit's A Matter of Loaf and Death also.

THIS

so I'll spend only 14 hours on the internet instead of 18.

/I'm weak, I sleep

I see basically my whole family every day, except the ones who are dead.

/Don't think we'll run out of cake...

As a Canadian, non-parent and unemployed at the moment let me just say I'm going to be drunk from sun-up to sun-down.

Oh its christmas tomorrow? Cool.

"log on"?

Anyone with cable can tell you, their interwebs is always "logged on."

I'm hopefully getting a new interweb tomorrow. I might have time to set it up tomorrow night, we'll see. Hopefully it runs on my computer.

Saxaholic: Kinda hard to celebrate Christmas when your parents have decided to become Jewish...

Uh, don't you typically have to marry a Jew to become Jewish? Not a religion that really accepts converts, iirc.

My family going to be logged on the internet because three of us are getting new laptops for Christmas !

It's Christmas Day here in Australia, and...yeah, well - getting a kick and all that.

But to be fair, I haven't got out of bed yet.

DslainteC: *i.e. whack off to profile photos

Oh, and, does that mean we get Zarkin Frood to show up, dressed as an elf?

Doubtful. Zarkin's mom passed away a couple days ago, so I'm guessing elf pictures aren't going to be her primary concern.

Normally I wouldn't be on until much later, but I got a nasty cold so I'm stuck home while the wife goes to visit family. Yay for getting sick on Christmas.

/at least I have cats to keep me company

galactus5000: DslainteC: *i.e. whack off to profile photos

Not this year.

Thanks for the reminder!

2/3 of all people?

According to the US Census bureau, the total population of the world is: 6,749,277,240

2/3 of this is: 4,499,518,160.

I highly doubt four and a half billion people acutally have the ability to get on the internet at all, let alone in a given day.

Typical western behavior, the scope of existence lies entirely within the north-west hemisphere or specifically the US itself.

/extra fail as this is a British article talking about the figures for the UK :P

Ironically, I will be loggin on the internet tomorrow to "be" with my family via webcam, since I now live in an obscure territory in the South Pacfic and they don't.

superbeerchan: Of course I'll be on the internets tomorrow.

The Doctor Who special isn't going to download all by itself, now is it?

This for me as well. I'll get to ogle the Doctor's shoes all day while gaming in the background.

/anyone know what time it's airing over in London compared to EST?

That's what I get for being away for a week. My thoughts are with her and her family. Poor gal.

I'll be on the internets all day at work.
