they might take it back

November 26, 2008 8:15 pm

You know, the more I happen to use LOLcat speak, the more I keep looking over my shoulder in trepidation. One day, I’m going to look, and my toughest professor from college will be standing there, holding my degree in her hands. Then she’ll tell me, “We’re taking this back due to your flagrant abuse of the English language.”

Sadly, my reply would probably be, “I can haz degree back?”

Then I’d inquire about a refund on the money I spent on the degree. I mean, if that professor had yet to smote me for using LOLcat speak in front of her, I’d ask.

Come to think of it, I’m still surprised she didn’t smote me while I was a student.

Of course, that leaves another question. If someone smotes you, would you still have to pay back your student loans?

Wait… are student loans the modern tool of smiting!?

Holy shit! I’ve been smote already and I never even knew!

An Epic Win

My buddy Ethan is a coffee roaster and barista at a local coffee/roaster place. He’s usually strikes up some sort of conversation with customers who stop by. This morning, a customer walked in, ipod earbuds in his ears, listening to his nano.

Ethan, ever curious, asks, “What are you listening to?”

The customer proceeded to hand Ethan his buds. Ethan puts them in.

Customer presses play.

Ethan hears: Never gonna give you up, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna run around and desert you…

Ultimate Rickroll.

Ethan laughs hysterically. Customer gets free coffee.

Rick Astley lives on.
