Is It Astounding In 2013 That Someone Would Ask This Question Rather Than Google “Hard Merchandise T-Shirt”?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I got this email last night (name removed as to not embarrass the nice person)-

where can i find t-shirts for the hard merchandise?  cant find it on this place, or im looking in the wrong place.  help me out ok?  thanx

 

In no way shape or form am I trying to be a prick here.  It’s just interesting to me and I thought I’d share the fact that there are HUGE numbers of the population that haven’t figured out how to do an online search using a search engine.

I mean it had to take more energy for this kind person to type out the email asking where they can find Hard Merchandise T-Shirts than the energy it would have taken to type “Hard Merchandise T-shirt” into a search engine.

So you know they truly don’t understand how.  They’re not being lazy, they just don’t understand that they could Google it.

Here’s a Public Service Announcement for those folks that haven’t figured out how to search for stuff online (an everyday life tool I think you should know about)-

There are other Search engines such as www.bing.com and www.lmgtfy.com you can use to perform searches for things you would like information about or products to buy.

I understand that many of you already understand this but if you saw how many questions a day I get with simple questions that can be answered with far fewer keystrokes you would understand that there are huge chunks of the population for which this tutorial will help immensely.

If we can help just one person understand how to perform an internet search that previously didn’t know how I’ll consider this post a smashing success.

thank you for your time and understanding

  2. Everyone knows you sit drinking coffee early in the morning at Zekes until Dave Marciano comes in with an armful and bestows them on all the customers with holes in their shirts.

  3. By the way, you should see the questions online physics and calculus tutors get. Most of the world has never heard of Wikipedia.

  4. JOEY C, How old is your Mother? Does she understand this computer stuff. I am 73 and this is news to me. I still go to the store to buy stuff, not on line. By the way, I graduated GHS 24th in my class in 1958 and I am no dummy. I live life using my head and not gadgets. and yours might be silly puddy because the phone causes brain damage or whatever. I am Italian ,so don’t mess with me or I will tell your Mom and she will box your ears. Are you smiling, I am having fun with you. I enjoy this Gloucester site, It makes my day, I miss the ocean air and Gloucester faces. Thanks Mrs B

  5. Where’s my freakin free F’N Tee shirt!? F’ the Hard Merchandise if they don’t give “ME” one since the post I put up a year ago has proved to be the the top post almost everyday on GMG. But, I ‘d rather have a Manly white or light colored one than a dark colored one. “F” U Dave ! 🙂
