Cue in flashback music, wavy surroundings, and me looking rad doing some school work at my desk.
It was senior year and I was laboring away on some research project or something super fun like that when my roommate Leslee walked-in.
Leslee: What are you doing?
Me: Being studious.
Leslee: Do you have a sec to look something up for me?
Me: Sure! as I pull up the Yahoo search menu (Meaning I have all day, I’d rather do anything than what I’m doing right now. Maybe we can look at the pics from our last mixer. Again. And then we can look at the pics from other peoples’ mixers. It really was important to stay on top of those things.)
Leslee: Why are you using Yahoo? I think Google is much better.
Me: Agreed. But Google has had a virus for like a year.
Leslee: HAHAHAHA! You’re funny.
Me: not laughing
Leslee: Oh, you’re serious.
Me: Why would I make something like that up? I’ll show you! I type in the address and there it is. The weird page advertising spyware that is most definitely NOT Google.
Leslee: Hmmmm definitely weird. Wait...(as she points to the screen). You just typed www.goggle.com.
Yes, it’s true folks. I seriously thought that Google had a virus for like a year. In my defense I would intermittently check-in to see if it was fixed, and as I was always typing www.goggle.com some weird page advertising something strange would always pop-up. So I just learned to use Yahoo as my default search. Until Leslee figured it out. I mean, this could have gone on for years! Hence why Leslee will always have a special place in my heart. Everyone needs a friend like her. She didn’t even make fun of me (If I were in her shoes she’d probably still be getting harassed today about how Goggle is doing and if it’s been giving her any trouble lately. She was always nicer than me though).
