Gawker
It's practically impossible to make fun of loopy Post gossip columnist Liz Smith, because the outspoken, bisexual 85-year-old beats you to the punch every time. For example, when dining with former Gawker Doree Shafrir for her Observer profile, she managed to work some self-deprecation into her lunch order: "And refried beans. My life is refried, so why not?" Well, we can make fun of her for one thing: despite being one of the investors for new momlady website, WowoWow, she just can't figure out how to work that Internet!
"She freely admits to feeling "completely daunted" by the Internet, and [assistant] Dennis even takes care of the tech aspect of filing her Post columns. Still, she is savvy enough to know what she doesn't know. "I think the Internet is difficult," she said. "It's hard to use, hard to deal with. Nobody agrees with me. I guess I just don't know how to do it. I've had lessons and everything. I'm always going back to bed with a book."La Liz at 85 [New York Observer]

David, how do I googley naked photographs of secondary school girls?
The internets are difficult. Now, can Dennis help Liz upload some hot pics of her bisexual exploits? Sounds steamy...
Is that her real hair?
Ah the great intranet! So daunting, such a challenge. At her age, she is beyond the great questions of our day. Can I haz cheezeburger? No, you certainly cannot.
At her age, that she can even get a book to go to bed with her is quite an accomplishment.
webby "stuff" + olds = (always!) confused
God I hope I'm not a proud Luddite when I get older but I probably will be. There's technology out now that I don't use. It costs money!!
