Boredom gets to us. It's unavoidable. Thanks to the Internet there's a great time waster or way to pass the time and its call YouTube.Countless hours of countless peoples lives have been passed at this great Internet wonder. Something you think in Iraq where we have an abundance of time (say a year or so) to kill. But alas! the Internet here in Iraq is too weak, fend off the Stars War Kids lightsaber, to inept to handle the Keyboard Cat's technique.
So, we in Iraq have another game.
It's called Conservation of Bandwidth to Load One Thing at a Time or CBLOT-T. When using CBLOT-T. You may open one 2 minute video of whatever you choose and then surf one additional page that contains 95% text and few pictures and ABSOLUTELY NO VIDEOS. In doing this you are actually helping yourself as that 2 minute video of some guy being tasered while chugging a beer is going to take you 20 minutes to open anyways. Reader's with highspeed Internets I would encourage you to try to apply CBLOT-T's principals but I understand that 2 minute video you trying to watch is probably going to open in about 45 seconds. But for us here in Iraq, at least it makes the time go by.
