ANN ARBOR– Suffering the good-natured ribbing from his younger compatriots, Mark Johnston quietly notched Aventinus’s lone goal, ensuring the 1-1 tie versus the Yaks 2 Wednesday night, despite the alleged hacking earlier.
Johnston noted that he planned to change his eBay password following the game
“I thought I saw Ron (Coleman) getting cross-checked in the back,” said defenseman Mark Woods. “But he said he didn’t even notice.”
Johnston, who was seen laughing at opposing players’ rough plays, credits his disregard to hackers in large part to his exercise regimen, positive outlook on life, and his unwillingness to part with his Motorola flip phone.
“Hackers rely heavily on cracking your passwords,” said web security guru Mike Rosoft. “But, these older guys, they don’t have passwords because they don’t use smartphones.”
“How you gonna hack their eBay account if they don’t have one?” asked Rosoft.
Winger Dave Ferguson once noted the distinction between “old” and “older,” noting the difference lies largely in what younger ladies at the bar refer to one as. “They called us ‘older’ guys,” he beamed before pressing “play” on his Sony Walkman cassette player (containing the greatest hits compilation of Bread).
Baby Boomers (the generation of Americans born approximately between 1950 and 1964) are often criticized for holding on to older, less web-dependent technology.
Johnston, to his credit, laughed off jokes of needing a Medic Alert bracelet after dropping his shampoo bottle in the shower following the game. Instead, he merely dressed, checked his pager, emptied the cooler, and clapped his hands twice to turn off the lights in the locker room before heading home.
