Soule Restaurant: Happy Birthday America!

Happy Belated Birthday, America!

I was in Maryland this festive 4th and had an interesting thought... Well, to me anyway...

America celebrates its independence. Cool. But in this day and age of Twitter, Facebook and Myspace, we leave ourselves open to let people know everything we are doin'. Just imagine if in revolutionary times, there was Twitter.

Paulrevere61: The British are coming! The British are coming! I'll start my ride at around 11 PM so the non-computer users will know. LOLOLOL

…Knowing good and damn well that some British officers probably followed his tweets.

*BANG*

They cut him off at the giddy-up… and we are now eating tea and crumpets.

Or perhaps General Washington post victory tweeted:

WoodToothGeorge: LMFAO aT aLl My HaTeRz!!! DelaWaRe RiVeR ShOuLdA Came HaRdEr ThAn Dat!

I say this to say that we are becoming lazy, but are willing to give all our information. Pick up a bottle of Mountain Dew-- Mountain is now abbreviated... and not even correctly.

It says MNT DEW. Mt. Is the proper abbreviation.

You can now follow Sportscenter on Twitter. You know where else you can follow Sportscenter? On Sportscenter.

Sad, aint it?
