Oh come on. A guy who calls himself Jimmy the Hat, has to be on the show, gambler or not. He is a character.

At least they did not put Jon White on the show --> would have been as fun as watching C-SPAN.

We definetly live in a world now that is instant information 24/7. I myself am not a fan at all of twittering, tweets whatever but hey it serves a purpose for some. If you are mad because you had to wait 5 minutes at the coffee shop for your latte and feel it necessary to tell the world thats great, but I don't care.

Facebook serves a purpose for many but again not my cup of tea. I actually am in total agreement with Gander on this one. I can't stand tweets, facebook or text messaging. The days are long gone of people actually having phone conversations. Shoot, the days are long gone of people buying a newspaper and reading it.

You're so folksy. Can you recite every episode of The Andy Griffith Show word for word?

I'm still trying to determine whether people criticizing a social networking site, while on a social networking site, fits the definition of irony.
