There's a reason why I invented the term "boom-sizzle" to describe them!
Sorry, but that was a common term used for their sound back in the 70s. Google "JBL boom sizzle" and you'll get quite a few hits. :)

...a common internet rumor about Gore.
He never said he invented it.
"...he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the technology that we now know as the Internet."
As to Inmate51 and his claim - he actually did say it!
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."He didn't create diddly. He may have voted along with dozens of others for funding, but there was no creation of anything by him - except of course BS.
Similarly, IM51 did not invent that generic phrase.

Look, I'm not as rich as Al Gore.
Whatever, or, prove me wrong. Show me where anyone else ever used the term before me, or are you a racist.
;)
...I tried to find out where the term was originated, but unfortunately Al Gore's internet posts do not go back to the 1970s.
Let's see...you must have been about 10 years old when you coined that term.
Look, I'm not as rich as Al Gore.
He made quite a fortune with speaking engagements pitching his inconvenient truth.
...he made the most - $70 million - by selling his Current TV network.
But apparently, he was never "dead broke" like some others...
I just think its incredibly funny about his claim to the *creation* of the internet - years after the networking protocols and very name itself were established.
Maybe he *created* the wheel, too. He is most certainly laughing all the way to the bank. :)
...if you read the link I posted, you know he never said that.
Who would make up something like that?
I wonder.
......if you read the link I posted, you know he never said that.That? That what? He most certainly is quoted as saying he "created the internet". That quote is found in the second paragraph of your Snopes reference. Did you actually read your link? That's just too funny.
By all means, quote anything I've actually said and comment on that reality.
Thank you.

...hope your knee didn't hit your chin.
right?
A guy takes a nap for a couple hours, and the whole world goes upside-down.
;)
Maybe I invented the term. Maybe several people did at about the same time - that would be cosmic, dude.
