Family Feud (Game over)

[Mitillos]

Signifying assent.

[Mitillos]

I recommend dragon or rabbit.

[Mitillos]

Pagers?

Really, the question is ambiguous, at best. Do you mean "things people stopped using in the last decade", or "things whose technology has been surpassed by different things which are now mass produced enough and cheap enough, to not warrant using the earlier things"? Because the real answer to the former is "nothing, because people continue using what they are used to using", and the answer to the latter is "nothing, because the last decade hasn't really seen that sort of development; it's mostly been small improvements to existing things". /rant

[Mitillos]

Oh, come on, it's been more than a decade since those went the way of the dodo.

[Mitillos]

Are you suggesting that they only went obsolete when they stopped being made? Because by that logic, horse-drawn carriages, hourglasses, and typewriters are still not obsolete, and probably never will be, despite the existence of cars, digital clocks, computers, and printers.

[Mitillos]

Awww. Don't be sad for what has been cast into the mists of time. Be happy for what has replaced it, and doesn't eat an average of a tape every couple of months (if you're conscientious about cleaning the damned thing) :Þ

[Mitillos]

*shrugs* And I ran Windows ME for about five years, and never encountered any bugs. Sometimes things just fail to happen.

[Mitillos]

Hence the existence of memes of the forms "X was Y years ago" or "The people born when X, are now Y", and so on.

I guess what I'm saying to everyone is that you are older than you think, and that the relentless march of time will get to you before you know it. Happy new year.

[Mitillos]

Could be. XP stopped being supported in 2009, I think. Other possibilities: Phone books, cassette tapes, CRT TVs, and maybe CDs.

[Mitillos]

Didn't think of fax machines. That could be up there, too.

[Mitillos]

@Felissan: They show up here, so it seems like a problem on your end. Try clearing your cache.

Edit: Also, many happy returns.

[Mitillos]

Overnight security guard? (Frankly, my first guess would have also been miner.)

[Mitillos]

Can I discuss this with my team? If so, whatever they prefer, otherwise play.

[Mitillos]

Well, I sure hope they see this, and give their input, like RC did.

[Mitillos]

That's a majority, so I'm alright with it.

[Mitillos]

Uhhhh. Why xofelf? I don't have anything against her, mind you. It's just that she's not on our team.

[Mitillos]

@RC: Not necessarily underwater. It's basically cave exploration.

[Mitillos]

Please be right, please don't make it come to me, please get the last answer.

[Mitillos]

Blast!

...Portland?

[Mitillos]

For the fast money round, could we designate a "first" and "second" person? Then the "second" person can just send in two answers, and if their first answer is identical to the first person's, their second answer will count, instead. That way, there won't be a need for a second 24-hour deadline.

[Mitillos]

I'll try to make you proud, boss.

[Mitillos]

Sorry guys.
