back in style

Jamie — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:03:50 +0000

Ethan stopped over to hang out the other day, and he and Nathan and I were trying to decide on what we wanted to do. Watch a movie? Play a video game? Nathan wouldn’t commit to an opinion on what he wanted to do. When we pressed him, he said, “I just want to do what everyone else wants to do.”

Brief pause.

Then I say, “Your mom?”

…this post was brought to you by the letters, U, R, and the committee for ‘ur mom jokes are back in style.’

they might take it back

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.

“Your statement is like saying, ‘Every time I eat wings, I should see lots of young women in orange shorts and tiny t-shirts.’ While I would love for that to be true, it’s not always the case.”

For anyone with a Flickr account, you know about the changing greetings whenever you log in. This was the one I got today:

Hee.

Paris Hilton pwns John McCain.

Yes, really.

For real.

No, seriously.

I know, I couldn’t believe it either.

Why Girls Are Better

Just read this post by a forum member on Bungie.net:

“Girls are better to play Halo with for the same reason that girls are better to do everything with.

Basically they smell better than guys, they’re softer, they’re nicer to look at and they have the affect of making you act like a better person when they’re around.

I can’t think of anything I enjoy doing that I don’t enjoy doing even more with a girl.”

I less than three that post.

laughing out loud, for real.

A forum member at bungie.net started a thread for Halo 3 motivational posters in the incredibly motivating style of Despair, Inc. Using this generator, here were my contributions:

*The majority of Halo 3 players have now completed the campaign on Legendary difficulty, which is also an Xbox Live achievement. In addition, you unlock the Hayabusa helmet depicted above.

*At times, breaking the Halo 3 physics engine can get kinda freaky.
