TLFT 8-9-09

TLFT stands for "Too Long For Twitter" -- just a random thought I had that, unfortunately, I can't find a way to shrink to 140 characters. Anyhoo..."Return To Sender" by Elvis Presley came up in the iTunes shuffle, and it occurred to me that modern technology has made it so that song lyrics will never be the same. "Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently" in an e-mail failure notice will never lead to a classic like "return to sender/address unknown/no such number/no such zone." Someday, when snail mail is but a distant memory, who's going to understand what "Return To Sender" is talking about?
