I’m going to make my “socially inept hygiene problem” status even worse, but I always got cracked up by Al Gore’s “Vote for me; I invented the internet” campaign. I used to clunk my way through JANET (the joint academic network) on greenscreens and 32k stations while the US military played tic-tac-toe between ICBM sites. All this time, Gore was still working out how to kiss his wife and breathe at the same time. He thinks the wubwubwub and the internet are the same thing.
