    I thought Snapchat was just for naked pictures.

    YF has moved way up, but he's cheating. He keeps posting cute baby pictures.

    His post-to-like batting average is Ryan Howard awful.

    It may still be, but companies are jumping over it as the next hot thing, which means the youngs will abandon it soon enough.

    Someone in media relations at my company said it was the television of our era...

    My girlfriend, who is a good bit younger than me and has a pretty tight body herself, is very into Snapchat. Besides checking work emails, it is probably the first thing she checks when opening up her phone. A lot of our mutual friends are also on Snapchat and they will "Snap" each other throughout the day.

    The other day, she asked me, "Don't you ever wonder about what you are missing?"

    Without looking up from the book I'm currently reading, I said, "Nope. Do you?"

    The ensuing fight was not fun.

    I don't care about everyday likes.

    My key sjmetrics are:

    Spits on screen (SOS)
    Laughs out loud (LOL)
    PMs from distinguished members (PMDM)
    Luggie likes (LL)

    Yeah, be we only won co-MVPs because Peter King voted for Carnell Lake and we shared the award.

    Uh, hanging curveball over the middle of the plate, my man. I'd have downloaded it before she finished the word "missing."

    I shudder to think what you did, and to whom, to get 10 more trophy points than the rest of us.
