Are texts the new quips?

Seriously. Being a big fan of dialogue — on stage, on screen, and in life — I track a couple of dialogue-tracking sites, but they've been eclipsed as of late by super-popular Texts from Last Night

Example:

driving around with you guys listening to the beach boys made me very concious of how white you all are.

I confess, that's one of the cleaner texts you'll read on the site, which specializes in outrageous college-age behavior. But it's still often funny…and given that the Internet (and phone systems) never seem to forget what is typed and sent, perhaps humanity has finally an effective means to capture its off-the-cuff quips.
