    ^^ They did, though that was more because of, ahem, user abuse than because of their build quality, which wasn't that much worse than low-end name brand cameras of the time.

    Also I would want to keep Kmart too, I think. Granted, I do kinda owe my existence to the place...

    Let's ask Anonus a thing, because I've always wondered and I bet he knows the answer.

    Why are sans-serif typefaces called "grotesques"?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It supposedly came from a printer referring to one of the first sans serifs as "grotesque" (the first sans serif was a product of taking a slab serif and getting rid of the serifs).

    Heh, I figured it was something like that! ^_^

    You know, I find the evolution of sans-serifs fascinating...
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Ouch! The broccoli is on the roof.

    Happy to you log pony.
  • If I were a teacher, I'd never give my students an assignment over their school breaks.

    Like, ever. Wouldn't want them to feel the way I do now.

  • Don't you hate it when an assignment just totally and unrelentingly breaks your brain so that you have no idea what to think?

    Seriously, I'm here in high school answering philosophical questions about knowledge and fate and Oedipus Rex and blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

    If this is what college is like, I guess I'll never be able to be a journalist. 
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Never could understand the point of Oedipus Rex

    Also, now I'm here

    Hi Imi

    How was Black Friday?

    Hello Imi
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, our cash registers quit for about half an hour, causing panic and frustration.

    Other than that, not bad, really.

    I spent most of it making calendars and flirting with some girl who works there

    I'm guessing no one got killed or severely injured. If this is the case, that's great!

    My mom and I went out for a mountain hike today, intending not to spend our day anywhere near malls or shopping plazas. As it turned out, Black Friday was a far more popular day for mountain hikes than we were expecting. :|
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I did hear a story about some guy who bought a whole bunch of widescreen TVs but forgot about his two-year-old
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I wonder when Black Friday got really out of hand

    If I recall correctly, a lot of people like to say it was the late 90s or early 2000s. I couldn't tell you anything for sure, though. Whenever it happened, I was too young and oblivious to understand what was going on.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I don't remember it being a big thing before the late 90s.

    I always found it bizarre just how quickly the term "Black Friday" spread. 10 years ago everyone I knew just called it "the day after Thanksgiving", but now "Black Friday" is commonplace...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I'm assuming the term was not in use in 1986.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It always sounded like the name assigned to a day of great tragedy to me.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Like "Bloody Sunday" or something

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    According to Wikipedia, there are at least nine such "infamously tragic days" known as Black Friday.

    Oddly, the name Black Friday supposedly comes from the fact that a lot of major stores have their biggest profits that day.

    Oh wow, while looking for an old Windows 95 CD-ROM (don't judge me) I found a backup DVD I made in 2008.

    It has lots of digital photos of my family that we all thought were long-lost when the old computer died...

    I can tell which photos were copied from the camera by family members other than me, because they have such descriptive folder names as "photos", "stuff", "more stuff", "New Folder", and "oics". I assume the last one is a typo for "pics".

    Black Friday is also the name of the "EP" (actually a mixtape, but close enough) by Lil' Kim that Nicki Minaj made fun of in our perennial favorite song by her.

    image

    Also, that seems like a hell of a lot of blood to have all come from Nicki. Weird.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    What's wrong with calling stuff "stuff" and "more stuff"

    Also, stupid stupid

    Limbo of the Lost. That legendarily terrible anti-masterpiece.

    Li'l Kim is, in the words of the modern rap community, mad as hell doe.

    Kim is irrelevant in modern hip hop. Stupid Hoe may have been, well, stupid, but Nicki did make a valid point in it: if Kim weren't as bullheaded about being in the same category as Nicki (who apparently "jacked [her] swag" by being a hot female MC in the game), she "probably coulda came back" by collaborating with Nicki and people might actually, y'know, care about her again.

    Granted, Nicki isn't exactly the epitome of maturity (or timelessness-- I give her 10 5 years before she's in the same situation Kim is now) but still.
  • Kim's problem is the same one a lot of Eminem fans had with Asher Roth.

    There is still marginalization of women in hip-hop, and many feel that there's only room for one successful female rapper at a time.

    Which is of course, fucktarded, but that doesn't stop some.

  • Yeah, I guess.

    Such is the fickleness of the rap game.
  • Of course, things eventually turned out okay for white rappers (I can currently name Mac Miller, Yelawolf, and Machine Gun Kelly as white, non-Eminem rappers who are successful), so I assume the prejudice against women will end soon too.

    edit: French Montana too, though I absolutely hate that guy.

    ...French Montana is white?

    Okay, well, he's Moroccan. Close enough, I'd say.
  • Tre said:

    I thought he was. Maybe not. I also forgot about Watsky.

    Also people are saying Wiki is gonna blow up and be big. I'm not honestly sure about that, I'm not entirely sure of his specific decent but I think he's white, and people are not really going to tolerate a white kid who drops the n bomb, even if he is good at rapping.

    Don't make me recommend you hipster-hop to change your opinions mahboi >:x
  • So, as of 2013 Maybach is not going to be the name of a car line, just Rick Ro$$'s music group.

    That kinda sucks. Oh well, couldn't afford one anyway.
  • Ricky doesn't put the dollar signs in his name anymore.

    Of course, he's gotten worse since he stopped doing that. Maybe that's where all his talent went.

  • Never stopped doing it on his cover art.

    image

    Funny how he credits MMG as being the Untouchable Maybach Music Empire.
  • Yeah but it's not in his iTunes info anymore. IDK.

    I think it's funny how as his career has gone on, Ricky's chains have gotten more and more over-the-top ridiculous. Ludacris did something similar.

  • I guess you could say they got more ludicrous.
  • Father shall be swallowed by the son, and brother shall be swallowed by brother.

    So I fell asleep for an hour or so

    And I dreamed I was charging into town on a white unicorn with a magic sword in my hand, all while dressed as Strawberry Shortcake, to defeat a villain who had been endangering the town by providing shoddy electrical work with no grounding.

    FUCK. YES.

    You gotta take off all that crap at the end.

    Well, more like as of 2012. And, according to a writer at Automobile Magazine, the Maybach wasn't worth the cash anyways.
