Excuse you.

This afternoon Jason called up Dustin for something or other, and it just so happened that Dustin was in the area. His family was out of town until this evening and we were just about to sit down to lunch, so Jason invited him over. We had a great time and we were all sitting around talking when, inevitably, the subject of where some town or other was came up. I got out the map and was showing him, and then we we started talking about towns with weird names, and then we started talking about where we've been and such, so I pointed out my hometown and then showed him where my parents live. He saw that Lake Tahoe is right there so we started talking about Lake Tahoe and how deep it is, and before you know it, Dustin was so fascinated that he pulled out his iPhone to look up the facts, and Jason pulled out his iPod to see who could win the race of who can look stuff up faster. The air was heavy with the sound of implied lightsaber duelings. I don't remember (or care) who won, but it always amuses me when, in this day and age, people choose artificial interaction over face to face stuff, even when they're right there in the same room.
