Phone call I just got from my brother:
"Yo."
"Yo." I reply.
"Do you remember that body shop Dad took his car to 18 odd years ago?"
"Vaguely."
"You remember the name? Ace? or J&C something like that?"
"That could be it..don't really remember..."
"Do you remember what town it was in?"
"Not really."
"Well, you're in front of a computer right?"
"yeah..."
"Well, look it up."
"Look what up."
"The bodyshop Dad went to."
"I don't know the name or where it's located..."
"Just google it..."
"Google what exactly?"
"The name of the place..."
"
How am I supposed to do that?""You're the internet wizard, you figure it out."
"I'll get right on that. Call you if I find anything."

similar thing happened to me the other day when i was looking to buy a gift for my sister's birthday and she had tipped me off that she had created a wish list some years ago. when i couldn't locate it she said she was happy to know she couldn't be stalked because even a 'professional' couldn't find out what she wanted.
:p
part designer, part professional stalker. i'm updating my business cards.

my sister calls me "the encyclopedia", or "the dictionary", depending on whatever use she needs me for.
I think she actually means, "the internet witch".

(Aug 15 07, 05:09)What I hate is the genuine surprise from my friends when they call up and learn that I'm not in front of a computer.
And what the fuck did they do before the advent of the mobile telephony/stationary geek answer nexus?

I feel your pain, my best friend does this to me all the time. What does he need an iPhone for when he can call me to look it up on google maps for him, the bastard.

my friends call me "the tornado", or "wet delight", depending on whatever use they needs me for.
I think they actually mean, "the internet's sexy bitch".

This kind of stuff has been going on a long time. Before the internet, I used to call friends to look things up in their TV Guide.

Follow up:
So my brother just called me back:
"It's called G&D Auto Body."
"Awesome. How'd you find out?"
"I just drove by the place."
"OK, cool. That's great."
"Can you look up the phone number?"
