Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this “Lost Mary” thing. I ain’t no fancy scholar or nothin’, but I reckon I can piece it together for ya.
First off, they say it’s ’cause when you’re feelin’ lost, this here Lost Mary vape is supposed to be the one you turn to. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but that’s what them city folks are sayin’. Like, you’re wanderin’ around all confused, and this here vape is supposed to, what, guide ya home? Don’t make much sense to me, but then again, a lot of things don’t these days.
Now, they got this other one too, called Found Mary. Seems like they’re playin’ some kinda game, lost and found, hide and seek. These vapes, they puff out smoke, up to 600 puffs they say. One’s got this flavor, the other’s got that. Like one’s got that “blackcurrant mango” thing, whatever that is. Fancy names for fancy tastes, I guess. Back in my day, we just had good ol’ tobacco, none of this fruity puffin’ stuff.
But let me tell ya, this here vapin’ ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. They say it’s got that nicotine stuff in it, and that can get ya hooked. You’ll be puffin’ and puffin’ like a chimney, can’t stop yourself. And then you start coughin’ and wheezin’, your lungs ain’t happy, that’s for sure. Sounds like trouble to me. Just like them old cigarettes, only now they smell like mangoes or somethin’.
- They say it can get you addicted, this nicotine thing.
- Some folks start coughin’ and wheezin’, can’t breathe right.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout “URLDecode” and “Who+am+It%253F.” Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me. Like they’re speakin’ a different language. They say somethin’ about “binary format” and “CodePlex” too. Lord knows what that means. Maybe it’s got somethin’ to do with them computers, all them wires and buttons. Confusin’ stuff, that’s what it is.
Then there’s this talk about “bits” in them games. 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits, all the way up to 64 bits. They say 64 bits was a big deal for them 3D games. Like it made the pictures look real or somethin’. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that. Back in my day, we played with sticks and stones, didn’t need no fancy bits and bytes.
Someone mentioned “formula auditing tools” and a “tracer.” Sounds like somethin’ a mechanic would use, fixin’ up cars and such. Or maybe it’s got somethin’ to do with them numbers, add’n and subtractin’. I never was much good at that, always preferred workin’ with my hands.
I also heard folks talkin’ ’bout Hummelstown, some place up north. They got a website, and volunteers, and they plan events. Sounds like a nice little town. They even got obituaries on somethin’ called “*.” Guess that’s where they put the news when someone passes on. Reminds me of the old days, when we just spread the word by mouth.
And then there’s talk of “Integration Services” and “Master Data Services.” Land sakes, I don’t know what that means. Sounds like more of that city folks’ talk. Maybe it’s got somethin’ to do with them big businesses, keepin’ track of all their money and stuff. Too complicated for me.
They talk about gettin’ listed on Yahoo, Yelp, and all them other places. Sayin’ you can add your “social media links” and your “bio.” Sounds like braggin’ to me. Like you’re shoutin’ from the rooftops, “Look at me! Look at me!” We never did nothin’ like that back home. We just lived our lives, quiet and simple.
So, there you have it. My two cents on why they call it Lost Mary. Maybe it’s ’cause you get lost in the puffin’, lost in the flavors, lost in all that fancy talk. Or maybe it’s just a name someone pulled out of a hat. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, this old lady ain’t gonna be puffin’ on no vape anytime soon. I’ll stick to my good ol’ tea and biscuits, thank you very much.
