Although the Bomb On Board SSID was rather tasteless, I could now see passengers starting a tradition of seeing how many of their fellow WiFi using passengers they can get laughing out loud with funny AP names. I would start the game with TSAnalProbe.
Looking at the available APs showing on my laptop here at home, I am seeing right now:

No one in this neighborhood calling themselves FBI Surveillance Van, though I have seen one elsewhere in town. And only amusingly named one in range is Body Parts.
Now I am picturing a new adventure of Letterman (if anyone here is old enough to remember the original Electric Company).
In this one, the evil Spellbinder takes note of a hipster douche sporting a goatee. And with a wave of his magic wand, our villain changes the first e into an s, causing the douche to now be sporting a goatse.
And then faster than a rolling O, stronger than silent e, able to leap capital T in a single bound; it's a word, it's a plan, it's Letterman!!! But instead of damaging yet another varsity sweater to change things back, he finds the situation fucking hilarious, and lets the villain win this one for once.
Spirits (usually either Kraken Rum, some sort of whiskey, or vodka): mellow and sleepy
Wine (Blackberry Merlot most of the time): mellow and sleepy
Beer (Alaskan Amber as first choice): mellow and sleepy
Add a bowl of weed to any of them: totally zonked out for the next hour; unless it is a dab and I accidentally inhaled as if it was a joint or bowl, then I am dead for a year for tax reasons.
Sounds like you are reaching that point where there is no point in you ever leaving the basement, as more and more normal everyday activities that involve interacting with others in person are getting their own online counterparts.
Would the Basement Singularity be a suitable term for that badass achievement?
That is nothing. I can still remember our phone number and street address from when I was 5 years old (reaching half a century in a little over 2 months).
None of the other students in my kindergarten class could recite theirs; and because I was able to do it, I was supposed to get to do something special for the police demonstration day that was coming up the next month. I was scared as fuck about that, due to stage fright. But I had a save due to being out of school that entire month with pneumonia.
Don't forget the penalty many services had for you having a faster modem as well. Oh my. You have a modem fast enough to cause you to spend less time on our system than those poor slobs with only 1200 or slower? We are going to charge you a higher per minute rate to make up for it.
I think one of the best things that ever happened to those walled garden standalone services was the advent of the Freenet system that was implemented by many libraries across the U.S. which finally gave the general public a taste of the actual Internet. Did they have those up north in Canada as well back then?
I can just see people deciding to now empty their pills into a bowl and microwaving on high for a few minutes. That should fry whatever tattletale device they are tainted with.
Yeah. I know that for profit and making a profit are not synonymous, but I still could not pass that one up. I could see some secular group buying them out though, and using that as an exhibit for a greater mythology museum.

They would have to identify and locate the culprit first; probably a very tricky task to pull off in this case.

So why did Constantinople get the works?

Now obviously that 375 million is worldwide. But to put that number into perspective, isn't the population of the U.S. around 325 million?
Not any more. No one is brave enough to deliver it and risk getting dropped into a tank of sharks.
Or did Kim Jong Goon eat the sharks already?
And on that note...
If a cliched Jewish American Princess were to somehow be granted Japanese citizenship, would she be a Jap JAP?
(I'm here all night folks... That is unless I get bored and switch over to Star Trek Online before getting my sleep.)
And I remember some derpy kid trying to convince me that disk notchers were illegal.
The paper punch, the obvious answer to those overpriced disk notchers.
This one has come up a couple times on a Facebook group I am subscribed to called Do You Remember.
I can't recall what answers I have given so far; but if I haven't used it yet, my next will be, "Don't touch that dial."

Or a mace for a keychain? :D
You do understand the concept of tributes and parodies, yes?
Well, too fucking bad for those cultures then.

This is Wal-Mart that was originally being discussed, remember. :D
Watched the linked video. That explains why I posted the way I did.

We all know that it was Internet that killed them both (along with the video stars).

How can the Ark Encounter thing be for profit if it is rapidly hemorrhaging money?
Yep. I miss the time when EA was more known as Electronic Arts and they and Activision actually produced quality games with no gimmicks.
Now you have me pondering hooking up the ol' Apple IIGS and seeing decades later if I can manage to get through Legacy of the Ancients.
