intertubes

A series of tubes that deliver information around the world via computer. Also known as internet or interwebs. Courtesy of Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska):

"The internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

There's a sweet site on the intertubes that shows photos of cats that look like Hitler!

Intertubes

Slang for the Internet, combining George Bush's "Internets" & Alaska Senator Ted Steven's description of the Internet as a series of "tubes".

I found it on the Intertubes.

intertubing

1. (vi) Using leading edge technology that could only be characterized as science fiction as little as 20 years ago, and hundreds of dollars of sophisticated personal computing equipment leveraging high frequency radio signals and electrons whizzing around the world at nearly the speed of light, for the sole purpose of performing a completely mundane task.

2. (vi) Completely reversing the "internet revolution", whose core tenets are interactivity and personal choice, by using it to watch video feeds off someone else's playlist.

3. (vt) Watching something done on YouTube instead of actually doing it for real.

1A. I went intertubing the other day when my friend called me from her vacation so that I could use a public web cam to take pictures of her in front of some tourist trap because she didn't have her camera with her.

1B. I was really intertubing when I sat by the pool watching my laptop stream a feed from my TiVo, which records shows that it gets from my satellite dish, just so I could watch re-runs of "I Love Lucy". But the smile on my face: Priceless.

2. I was so bored the other day..... I pulled up CollegeHumor.com and just intertubed all day.

3. I caught my room mate intertubing the other day, as he watched videos of someone playing his new video game instead of getting off his fat lazy ass and actually playing it himself. I thought to myself: "isn't playing videogames all day considered lazy to begin with? What happens when you're too damn lazy to even do that?? is that like lazy squared?"

lol intertubes

The same thing as "lol internet", except 100 billion times better.

eps: well they're thinking it's an evolutionary design to work on the population level of a species... like, once you mate, you're no longer useful in terms of evolution
cy: lol intertubes
eps: and so something cellular triggers your body to maintain itself less and less (aging)
eps: /me makes a mental note to not talk about anything past "lol internet" and "poop dries too fast"
eps: ;-/
